Bidding is open now and will close on sunday night. The latest and largest bid will win in the end. Let the games begin

Don't we have an auction house for you know... auctions?

I'm guessing he's expecting more than 2 billion, which is the influence cap.


Characters:

- Dawnshift (50 Peacebringer/Virtue)

Which would be silly considering you can get PvP IOs from Hero/Villain merits, and you can buy enough Hero Merits to net you one for around 200 million influence.

You CAN still buy PvP IO Recipies, can't you?

They just added the ability to get them with HV merits. The +def is 30 HV merits.

If you do nothing but tips, then it will take you 60 days to get one.

If you also buy HV merits for the 20mil + 50reward merits = 1 HV merit, you can drop that down to 20 days.

Is 400 million + 1000 reward merits + farming tips every night worth more to you than 2 billion inf?


Be well, people of CoH.

When weighing in the chance for other valuable IOs to drop, exp for characters below 50 and the influence gained by just doing this...

Hell yes.

As someone in the process of doing this (4 more days to go), I can tell you that it's a lot more work and time than people make it out to be. If I had to do it over again, I certainly wouldn't. I started with nearly 500 merits. After they ran out, it became more of a chore, running either Ouro or TFs each day to get my hero merit.

While some people, like myself, are patient enough to do the required farming, there are 99% more that aren't, and will pay the billions for it. This is THE pvp recipe that a lot of builds want. Couple it with the relative rarity of PVP drops overall (I've never seen one drop) and the very low chance of getting a specific one, and it just adds to the cost that people are willing to pay. Blame the sellers for these costs all you want, but the real blame lies with the Devs for knowing it's a flawed system and perpetuating 20 days of farming as the best possible solution.

Hence why I am waiting for the winterlord event to farm the crap out of merits, and doing daily's in the meantime.

For what it's worth, the ones you can purchase, you can get at lvl 10, so you can slot it in the Hollows... or Imperial City.


Never argue with stupid people. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

So.

I've seen no bids here yet. I am assuming he's expecting us to put the bids here, yes?

So I will start.

At 1 inf.


Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
