  1. Yeah this happened to me as well. It was also in talos but had nothing to do with the banished pantheon. I was street sweeping with a level 50 for tips and happened to get a converter drop.

    EDIT: It was a warrior mob that dropped the converter.

    Sadly, not possible.
  4. I don't like the MM play style so I'm not upset about this in the least. Its sad because I could have used another wolf or 2.
  5. So all of the insults and complaining were over a bug? Something the devs had no control over? Go figure.
  6. I made about 10 bill total today. When I had a hard time selling a high end apoc at 250mil I called it quits. Thanks Converters!

    But apparently some people have *lots and lots* of Reward Merits. Good for them. Make cheap Purples and PvP procs. Make them like the wind!!!
    I know I had a lot. I bought 1 24 pack of super boosters and had more merits than I knew what to do with.

    That is still a drastic drop, but, that could mean just the 2 billion bids were cleared out and people selling them for 300 million are taking a big loss.

    Or, I could be underestimating people's willingness to spend Merits when the hope of spending Astrals and Emps for a bigger bang for the buck might still be coming down the pike.
    Yeah, I did mean 300m and the price is dropping. And its so easy to get the +3 now. I made and sold 5 myself today until the price went too low to be worth it. And I just used the merits I had from super packs. Didnt have to buy a thing... again anyway.
  9. Seeing that I just made roughly 5 bill and +3 def PVP IOs are down to about 300k now, I'd say that the converters are having a impact on things in their current state thats for sure.

    Or vomit a little like I did when I read that and conjured up a mental image.
  11. You didn't by chance happen to click the button that says "ONLY CLICK ONCE" more than once did you? If not I have no idea what happened and you should definitely have filed a report. I bet they would have no problem giving you a refund.
  12. So to make this work they will have to be aliens that were mutated some how into a type of alien turtle hybrid. And since they are "aliens" I assume they will be on earth.

    I don't see this going over well, even for a Michael Bay flick.
  13. I'd love for someone to build this same exact toon twice as a brute and scrapper and really see if they can even notice the difference. I personally haven't so I can't really say, but something tells me you wouldn't.

  15. Since my second account is almost 1 full tier away from unlocking IO's I just bought 15 bucks worth of points for it and dish out 160 points when I want to use it. That should give me around 7-8 months worth of IO usage.
  16. I'm going to have to agree with supermax here. PvP in this game is too far gone. There is a reason maybe 1% of the player base regularly participate in pvp... because it's generally considered as crap by most people you ask. Its a restricted sloppy version of the game IMO, and why would people want to play that?

    As far as another pvp zone, what's the point? There are currently 4 pvp zones plus a arena that are ghost towns on almost every server. If you ask me I doubt pvp will see any significant changes for the rest of this games lifespan for the simple fact that from a business standpoint it makes little to no sense to work on a part of the game that hardly anyone plays. Especially when people will pay 10 bucks for a lame leprechaun.

    This guy wasn't hacking. It was a glitch he ran into. He actually posted here on the forum about it.

    There was a guy that made some truly grotesque creations awhile back and he was hacking stuff. I'd post some pictures, but they are all of a nude man type creature... with breasts. Truly disturbing.
  18. I was completely ready to buy this... until I saw the price tag. I thought it said 600 at first and thought to myself "they must be nuts". Then I noticed it was actually 800 and my jaw dropped.

    I don't understand the mind set in this one. Is it the lack luster 10% inf that makes it so expensive? Are they gauging how big of a sucker some of are by making this a limited time thing? I'm not sure, but what
    I am sure of is that they lost out on 1 definte buy with a insanely high price tag.

    I bought every vanity pet up until this point but if they continue with this price trend they won't see another penny from me for a pet.

    Echo Faultline

Old Faultline, though, isn't something I think I've ever heard anyone else clamoring to want to revisit. Much like the Rikti Crash Site, which is why we don't have an Echo of it, either.

    The new rikti crash site is almost identical to the old so I don't really see a point in remaking that one. The new faultline is a lot different, and personally during my time playing this game I've heard time and time again how people would love to revisit the old fault. I know I would like to see it again. Some of those free falls were epic.

    Here a video to bring back some of the nostalgia:

    Stalkers are the only AT I can stand energy melee on. It under performs on my brute and is unplayable on my tank. I think its the stalkers burst damage play style that seems to work well with it. And with the upcoming stalker changes I can only see the set getting better for this AT.
  23. This was a hard one. I couldn't choose between B or C so I used the good ol' tie breaker eeny, meeny, miny, moe and came up with B.
