If everything is cheaper, then it's a good thing.

Synapse: I had to resist starting my last post off with "Yo dawg!"
I actually like the fact that they give alternative routes to obtain certain items, and I really would like to know the /etc/ from the new reward system. Since I'm wondering if you can get rewards by simply doing story arcs.

Ominous? It sounds as though you're happy with prohibitively expensive enhancements.

Can't find where this guy got hi quote from but this is what he posted.
Wow.
Seems to be some things coming up in I13 that could have a major impact on the market.
Day Jobs:
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Day Jobs (Offline Character Progression)
Scholar? Caregiver? City Official? Now when players log out of City of Heroes / Villains theyre just getting started! A characters day job is determined by the actual in-game location from which he or she logs out. If players log out from a University their day job is considered to be a Scholar. If they log out from City Hall they're a City Official. The benefits are thematically appropriate to the location. For example, a City Official earns extra Influence, a Scholar is granted Salvage, a Caregiver is granted Health Regeneration Buffs, etc.
Once characters have accumulated the required amount of time for each Day Job, they are rewarded with the appropriate Day Job Badge and Title, increasing their earnings for that job. Multiple Badges can be combined to unlock Accolades and the ability to accumulate additional new rewards. Almost every location within Paragon City and the Rogue Isles has an associated Day Job, resulting in a wide selection of jobs and rewards! "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First I wonder what the Day Job will be called for those of us that logout at the market all the time. "Day trader"? "Arbitrager?" Any guesses on what the associated reward might be?
And depending on what kind of Salvage or control you might have over what you get, Scholars could add a lot of salvage to the market over time.
Then there's the Merit Rewards:
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Merit Rewards System is a new game system that allows players to earn tokens by completing Trials, Task Forces, Strike Forces, Raids, etc. The most challenging and time consuming tasks grant the most reward tokens, which can be redeemed throughout Hero and Villain zones for recipes, enhancements, salvage, costume pieces, badges, inspirations and other game items."
"...as well as a brand new reward system that will hopefully see the end of necessary Task Force farming trying to get that one specific Recipe you have been dying to get."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That last part being the most ominous quote. It makes it sound like people when they earn enough merits will be able to choose a specific Pool C (or whatever) recipe they want.
The days of 100mil Inf Recipes may be a thing of the past.
Any other thoughts? I'm still taking it all in...
