ATIOs up
Cool.
There's a few in the market, looks like the asking price is roughly 100 million.

Yeah, I'm going to hold on to the ones I picked up for a day or so, let folks have a chance to put the bids out.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
I doubt it will stay at 100 mil for long. These will be in high demand.

I bought 2 24 packs worth of points and I got nearly 25 X 250 merits alone. (That doesn't count the ATO's I got). Thus, I can convert 400 merits into an ATO even though there is a 4 day cooldown you can do it on any character since it isn't account lockout but just a character.
I managed to acquire a whole brute set and convert all the rest of my merits into selling other ATO's like the Brute ones for 500 mill.
Essentially I converted around 40 US dollars into about 10 billion influence.
Actually I think quite the opposite, the price on these will plummet.

That said, I expect prices will be low for a while, as the people who care about super packs buy a bunch for the costume pieces and flood the market with all the ATOs they randomly obtain and don't want. Once that initial rush slows down, I'd guess that most ATO purchases will come from merits... but like I said, it's difficult to say for now with any degree of certainty. Time will tell.
I think it's nice that they can be acquired with reward merits but not alignment merits, so it's actually easier to get them on Vigilantes and Rogues than Heroes or Villains. Which, given how much more value 1 alignment merit has than 60 reward merits, is a good change.
Since I can't seem to find this, what's the availability of the Catalysts to upgrade ATOs to superior outside of super packs?

Now, if they'd give vigilantes missions in the vein of Rogues, we'd be set! Or maybe it's just me who loves the Rogue missions but hate not being able to end the SG base while a rogue.

Prices are falling quite rapidly.
Down from 200 million per ATIO this morning to around 50 million on some of them.
I'd suggest people buying them now for cheapers.

Testing out the stalker +hide proc atm..seems super cool. Does anyone know if those kind of ones (the +hide, dam, etc) work via a single 20% chance per use, or if putting them in aoes would give them multiple chances to proc?
I still lulz at resistance being a bonus
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
Will these still function after slotting if you cancel VIP?

Oh, they're not actually IOs, more like HOs? then I guess they work regardless. you can't buy them with reward merits or astral merits without currently being a VIP subscriber and they have a 4-day cooldown timer on each purchase, so that's sorta ehhh
glad the stalker changes are going in or they would've been balancing the gimpy stalker AT around a required IO proc. If that works in an AOE and checks on each enemy that gets hit instead of just a single chance on activation then slotting it into something like KM's Burst that would be good times good times, having a 100% area crit from hide that could almost guarantee a placate...ha.
ATOs work no matter if you're a level 1 Preem or a ViP. They are not tied to the Invention System.

'Just got the bits I wanted for not all that bad a price. Now, if only I had catalysts.

Indeed.

Anyone know if Synapse's fixes for the scrapper proc have gone in yet?

Well frak. I probably won't be able to log into the game for another 9 hours yet. Darn you kids who can play all day and don't have to work! lol
At merit vendors...400/500 merits +25 mil
At Astral Whatsherface for 50/70 A merits + 25 mil

(The MM set has +dam as the first Stat? Utter Fail devs. Cant see many people bothering with any but the unique MM one.)
((Oh, and can only get ONE per 4 days from a vendor? It should have a disclaimer saying how greedy this is.))
