Ever do a bonehead move like this?

Since I returned to the game last month, I've been trying to upgrade the builds on a few of my old level 50 toons while simultaneously leveling a brand new toon to 50 with a good build including a few purple sets. It's taken a lot of work and finally purchased the last recipe I needed to respec my main toon and swap in the new sets: an Obliteration: Acc/Dam/Rech/End for 65 mil. It was all the influence I had left except enough to craft the recipe. I was all excited to finally have everything done to re-do the build on my main toon. Left WW, ran to the nearest store to dump my SOs and recipes from drops that weren't worth anything at WWs, got distracted for a second as I was quickly selling everything off and.....sold the Obliteration recipe that I just bought.....DOHHH, complete brainfart, lol. Guess it had to happen sooner or later....frankly, can't believe I made it through 15 months of gameplay without ever doing this before.

A few miracle uniques and a lotg.

Not as bad as standing at the exit part of the train station ranting in team chat about how lag is messing with the damned trains.


They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

I felt so stupid when I realized I had stood for about 20 minutes at the exit of a train station... (I didn't even realize until a good while later that was what happened, I just gave up and went off somewhere else in the zone)


Fortunately, I've never vendored an expensive recipe before. I'll always make sure to put them on WW and just have the crappy ones with me when I do a vendor run, just in case!

Omg, that's classic. The team chat rant is the icing on the cake, lol.

I like that.....that's going to be my new system now....never again, lol

At least you can easily recover from your error by doing 4 days worth of tips and morality missions.

Those are easy enough to blast or stealth through for the most part. Then you can spend a paltry 2 alignment merits on another Obliteration quad.

... or on a Luck of the Gambler, sell that on the market for ~120mil, buy the replacement quad at around 65mil again, and pocket the change.

No.

I am immune to fails like that.

The fail is normally on the other person who invites me to their team.

Oh yeah, won't be too bad. Already have 1 alignment merit and a decent amount of astral merits and reward merits so I'll get it back without TOO much effort. It's a little bit of a domino effect though as I'm trying to rebuild a few other 50s so I have plenty need of several LOTG +rech, etc. Not a big deal though. Was just a little disappointing to space out like that because it was the last one I needed for the respec I'm doing on my main toon and I was kind of excited to finally be ready to do the respec. Had to admire my brilliant economic strategy too....buy a recipe for 65 mil and flip it to a vendor for 5k....gonna try to deduct that loss on my taxes, lol.

I've done that exact same thing...with a Purple.

Luckily, not one I planned to slot. But missing out on several hundred million inf has led me to pay much more attention while I'm vending

I've deleted some moderately good stuff, but once I get something sufficiently shiny in my inventory my brain goes into Anti-Stupidity Mode and every consequent action is done with a great deal of caution. There is much truth in the sniper's maxim: slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

I've done similar. Don't recall what it was that I vendored, but I can recall I was pretty annoyed. I think given enough time, everyone will do that at least once.

I just hope I don't do it again soon.

My very worst moment?

Doing a /respec and getting to the point of putting enhancements..Hit finish, click yes.. then discover you havent put in a single enhancement in any slot.

Luckely it was mostly regular IO's, SO's and a few sets (doctored wounds, mako's, aegis), saldy also few unique's and 2 LotG's.

I accidentally quit a Strike Force once. I was sidekicked to a guy with a really bad connection. When he managed to log back in he would have to send me the sidekick invite everytime. This was before super sidekicking was available. Anyway I saw him log back in and I was waiting for the invite, messing around and hit yes when I saw the pop up. Didn't realize I had hit the quit button. Everyone went from green to blue and my husband (who was on the team) says "Did you just quit?!" I was playing with friends so I never lived it down.

I once sold a hecatombs at the vendor. Luckily it had dropped instead of being something I bought, so it was lost potential inf instead of something I had once had.

I once put a stack of 10 Luck Charms up for sale for 54,000,000 each. Needless to say, they didn't sell and I had to eat the Market fee, which is sizable for 10 of the darn things.

I really wish we had some more "compartments" in our salvage. Not additional storage per se, but additional buttons or slots where we could move important stuff so that it didn't get caught up in the hurried "sell this fast" mode after doing missions.

I'd also like to be able to have compartments in the vault and be able to store recipes and enhancements in there.

Last week I did a munged sale price (previous one was something like 1 million and I managed to add three digits into the middle.) That only cost me 5% of 1.5 billion!

If you have one AM I recommend looking at the [crafted] sale prices of the following:
Kin Combat, L35, Dam/Rech
Kin Combat, L35, Dam/End
Performance Shifter,L21, Chance for Endurance

The other good sellers I'm aware of are 2-merit recipes.


Mini-guides: Force Field Defenders, Blasters, Market Self-Defense, Frankenslotting.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

Yeah, I vendored a purple once. Luckily, it was just a Fortunata recipe, but still. I'm always a lot more careful now.


I find your lack of signature disturbing.

To the people accidentally vendoring stuff:
If you send in a support request with the name of the character, the server, the item (as exact as possible, I.E., a [Level] [Set] [Bonus Types] Recipe and the approximate time of your error, they should be able to help you with item recovery (note that this does have a 'statute of limitations' per se... it's best to do it immediately if you expect any kind of result. Otherwise you're pretty likely to get a 'we can't go back that far into the data logs' response).


@Draeth Darkstar
Virtue [Heroes, Roleplay], Freedom [Villains], Exalted [All Sides, Roleplay]
Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

I learned that if you are in the market and you type a price in for the bid section, then hold down "return" on your keyboard, the game pushes through bid after bid after bid as fast as it can.

I learned this while paying 2,109,999 for ceramic armor. I ended up with 32 of them.

Which lead to the second lesson: Apparently some of the bids would combine into a stack before filling otherwise I'd have been limited by my 18 market slots.

I would love a buyback feature on vendors as a safeguard against this kind of self-fail.

I can definitely confirm this. I sent in a support ticket on it right after it happened yesterday, figuring it probably wouldn't matter but why not...and this afternoon got a response back and they had undone my screw up and added the recipe back to my toon's inventory for me! Whew...stupidity side-stepped, lol. That's some great customer service there.

You know, one of the things I really appreciate about this game is that the Devs and the community support team seem to genuinely care about the players. Unlike many others I've played where they genuinely cared about my subscription fee.

Batty and Draeth, thanks for giving me two more reasons to appreciate our game. =)

After watching this thread all week I've just "joined the club" by paying 15,000,001 for an Essence of the Furies.

At least a can console myself slotting to LoTG +7.5% I was bought for.




In Paragon City since June 2005.

I just clicked on the "get all inf" button with enough stuff sold to equal much more than 2 billions. Meh.

(For individual transactions, the game stops you from exceeding the inf cap, but with "get all inf", any extra past 2 billions vanishes into the ether.)
