Do you mean a store that sells items at a price 2x the vendor or a hard cap on the price? A hard cap would cause shortages. A store would cause the price to be firm and no shortages. There's plenty of salvage being made, and AE cranks out common salvage at 8 tickets a pop. Players simply are too lazy to place it for sale.

Should all the "bad sets" be removed? Should the drop rate be increased? I believe the devs have set Numinas and other expensive recipes to have the availability they desire. Merit prices are that availability. If you do X merits worth of "work" you can have that recipe.

The current manner of item distribution is "he who pays the most gets the item." Alternatives are: he who waits the longest, random lottery, arbitrary decision making, no distribution, and store with fixed prices. Which alternative do you propose? Is there one I missed?


Flippers cause price stability and remove volatility from the market. Flippers are competitors. They make the lowest lows less low and the highest highs less high. For example, with respec recipes, if I didn't buy 100 of them...

At the release of Issue 16 there would have been 100 less purchased at a price of 66 to 100. The price would have fallen lower. More would have been for sale at that time.

. Sadly, it doesn't show the # for sale.

In the past few weeks 50 to 100 respecs have been placed on the market for sale. These have sold for roughly 200M. Imagine if those 50 to 100 had not been placed. Less Supply would exist. There would be less Respecs currently for sale. The current prices of Respecs would be higher. Check out the market on Respec Recipes as it stands now and think about my big sale.

Thus by flipping I made the "lowest low less low"... or at the release of Issue 16 prices didn't fall as much...
and currently I made the "highest high less high"... or prices aren't rising as high as they would have.

I knew prices would spike very low at one point (I16) and I knew prices would be at the highest at another point (immediately before I17) and profited by buying at a price ABOVE the lowest low and selling at a price BELOW the highest high.

Similar will occur with the release of every Freespec given out. However, the biggest spikes in Respec recipes occur in issue with Powerset Diversification. A significant amount of the player base rolls new characters. These characters are flush with Vetspecs and freespecs. These characters still produce respec Recipes though low levels tend to defeat less enemies. Now that this knowledge is widespread, expect the price to be relatively more stable with future freespecs. More competitors/flippers will buy when the market is full of respecs and more competitors/flippers will sell when they start getting more desired.

I can achieve over 1000% recovery rate on my MM Blaster with Drain Psyche.
I can achieve 97% end reduction slotting on Inferno which reduces the cost to 10.5 endurance.
I can obtain +Endurance accolades which grant +10 endurance total.
I am running Tough, Weave, Maneuvers and Assault... maybe Tactics too.

I'm assuming that firing Inferno in this scenario costs 10.5 Endurance on activation, then drops 100 endurance if I hit an enemy and bottoms out my 110 endurance and drops my toggles.

If I achieve set bonuses that increase my endurance even higher will my toggles go down when I fire Inferno? If there's a possiblity of "No", how much of a margin should I shoot for? I understand I'd need to make sure I fire it with full endurance.

Assuming I have full (or nearly full) endurance, have 115 endurance, have 97% endurance reduction slotting in Inferno, and have over 1000% recovery, can I fire Inferno, hit enemies and keep my toggles on?

*EDIT* Oh yeah, I searched on the forums for similar questions and found one similar.
Link to thread on same topic. However, I think the situation was slightly different when the other thread was started. I didn't search for every nuke in every section though. I'm a slacker.

I have never experienced such things on my Kinetics characters. I can easily keep an entire team Speed Boosted and Fulcrum Shifted while keeping myself Siphon Sped? and Inertial Reduction while still unleashing a disturbingly large amount of attacks. It took some time to develop the necessary coordination to push the buttons that fast.

On teams, I find myself dealing the majority of the team's damage, often by a rather large margin.

Rereading the original post... he **IS** saying "implement a store that sells everything." You, said "There is only two ways the devs could accomplish what you want.
1. Implement stores that sell the items like SOs, 2...".

Sounds like you both agree that creating a store that sells everything would give the original poster what he wants.

Could you please differentiate
"just if there was a store that sold everything" (What you said in the section I quoted)
and
"1. Implement stores that sell the items like SOs" (What Swellguy said, which you quoted and I assume responded to)

That line made me giggle.

The original post asks "Just wanted to gauge what you all consider "store-worthy" and what you dispose of and/or sell?"

I posted my response with strong use of the word "personally": a word which I clearly and distinctly added (counting) three times in two posts. I also used "I" 15 times in those two posts.

*EDIT* I went back and read my first and second posts. I even added a "if I was starting out section"... wow. I was on the ball.

I'm the guy buying at 300,000. I don't care what the price of salvage is at any point in time. It's truly more efficient and profitable for me to go about my usual market routine and pay whatever price salvage happens to be at any point in time. The time I'd spend writing salvage prices down could be spent doing more profitable enterprises.

He wants all those things to happen so he can make gazillions in profits by selling items he obtains off market to the desperate.

"If you want to do lots of different TFs, go heroside."

I want to do lots of different TFs and SFs. No, I won't be going heroside.

There's a key difference between "wanting lots of TFs" and "wanting to do lots of TFs. Yes, it is fair to say blueside has more TFs. I sure as **** don't want to do them. My experience with players organizing TFs is vastly different from yours. In my experience people organize LGTFs, ITFs, the strike force but Silver Mantis, and the STF. Occasionally, I hear one of the normal Task Forces but not often. I can't remember the last time I heard a Barricuda being organized.

I don't agree with this post. I'll give Heroes cooler zones and more zones but that's it.
