If only names on accounts dubbed "Trial 59602" were going to be freed up...
I completely understand why that can't be done, returning players and all that. I just tire of coming up with a name, seeing it is taken, and finding out (through /getglobalname) that the account that's holding it is a generic trial. Oh well.
As for the release date, I'm still betting October or later, considering Mac users cannot yet access the full version of the open beta, nor access the paragon store, and Zwillinger stated here that i21 would not go live until that was fixed. Granted, that could be fixed tomorrow and a September release would be feasible. But I would rather plan for a later release and be pleasantly surprised if it shows up earlier.

Freedom launching in August?! Or do I have to wait longer?

Happy 4th anniversary!

I would like the solo path buffed somewhat and I would definitely love the incarnate building process to be easier (less complex to use that is - edited for clarification). I find it a bit overwhelming compared to the ease of inventions.

Quote:Or just keep in mind the complainers are trying to set both of those definitions and they are mostly only buying.Originally Posted by Obitus
What's amazing to me is that a seller is so easily accused of greed for deciding the price of an item he owns, but a buyer who desires to set the price of an item someone else owns is so often considered pure as the driven snow.
Seems to me we need a new definition of greed to reconcile that disparity.
Do what I do. Continue to enjoy the game and enjoy it more knowing every single time you buy an item for "too much" or list it for "too much" you are enraging the whiners. I love to pay "buy it nao prices" as I imagine the seething of the ignorant. -

The Tin Mage and Apex Task Forces have us fighting 54s. If this is how future Incarnate content is going to be, and I see no reason to believe otherwise at this point, it will only make the problem worse.

Quote:Equating inf with real money is one aspect where the people who wail about the high prices always go wrong.Originally Posted by DSorrow
Dollars? I doubt that.
Part of the "big price tag" problem is that people think in dollars (or any other currency) instead of influence. 100 million influence is a relatively small sum of currency whereas 100 million dollars or euros is way more than most families can earn in a lifetime.
Think in influence: how much one influence is worth, what your basic salary (1mil/hour) can get you, how much influence you need for a really good build compared to baseline (hint: not very much).
Their second error is typically "well I don't have that much inf so the price isn't fair" because they are so self absorbed that if any aspect of the game doesn't cater to their desires it is "broken" or "bad people are keeping me from what I want".
So your point actually needs to be not directed at the person but the playerbase overall. It doesn't matter if I only have 200 inf to rub together if 60% of the playerbase has a billion or more because the majority of the players will be setting prices.
In the how much a 50 can earn thread while the worst of us could solo 1M per hour in just inf that character is still in competition with the 10M per hour earners. They can either adjust their expectations or rail against reality. -

Quote:The problem is from the mile high view it probably does work. Across the entire playerbase of activities it likely shows a proper random distribution. Unfortunately I think it behaves preferentially for some and very nasty for others for some reason.Originally Posted by gameboy1234
I totally agree with this. The RNG seems to be missing its R. I'd love it if the devs would talk to us about how it works, or at least agree to double check it and make sure everything is kosher.
I haven't had as bad luck as some of the folks in this thread, but there's been plenty of times when I notice a long streak of misses, for example. And I normally have the combat logs open or I monitor "Last Chance To Hit," so I know if I've been debuffed or not.
At the very least it is often very streaky for me.
Of course dice rolling in real life has also never been favorable for me so perhaps like gravity and contrary to Obi-Wan's claim there is such a thing as luck. -
I don't know for sure who I am going to play other than it won't be my 50s since I do want to get some characters up some levels.
It depends on who seems like fun at the time when I login. -
Quote:Considering the source of the claim I wouldn't believe it even if I didn't know it to be absurdly false.Originally Posted by all_hell
"Most sets" cost a billion dollars?
I find this claim hard to believe. It just doesn't at all jibe with my in-game experience. I think that at least half of the sets cost less than 166,666,667 per enhancement. -

We have one. It's two billion inf.
What effect do you think a price cap would have on items? Why do you think it would have that effect?

I am curious about how Praetorians will fit into the hero/villain dynamic of the missions.

The answer to "Just how much can the RNG hate you?" is "How much hate is there."
Then every now and then the horrible thing will throw you a bone just to let you know who's the boss or to get your hopes up so it can smash them. -

Quote:Or they could just give us some other stuffs to buy with our inf.Originally Posted by UberGuy
So will inflation continue forever? That really depends on how much further our combat efficiency is allowed to increase without some corresponding decrease in reward for defeating the same foes with greater alacrity. As far as we know, the future will bring more combat effectiveness in terms of Incarnate abilities, but also as far as we know, there's nothing about that increase that will make, say, level 52 mobs worth less per defeat. That suggests that market-wide inflation still has some wind in its wings, with a rate that will depend on how fast we can earn new incarnate abilities. I'm not sure inflation will be allowed to continue forever, but if it continues at its pace from the last year or so too much longer, I think the devs might be forced to concede that either the aggregate rate of per-capita reward or the inf cap need review.

My approach is to send one email to myself and then reply to that.

My feelings are if we can drop a 10-stack in the market I would like us to be able to drop a 10-stack into our email.
Some means to more accurately email would be nice like right clicking on a name or global from the global friends list.
As for emailing to ourselves I would love that but here's what I do in the meantime is I send one test mail to myself and copy the global name out before I send.
Then I paste it in the emails I send after that. It's annoying but safer than typing each time.
