10 % inf buff? for 800 points? ahahahaha
Yeah he dies pretty easily too, 800 PP is pretty steep in my opinion as well.

Thanks but no thanks.

The inf buffs on the market only last an hour, then you have to buy another. So if you are someone that uses those buffs a lot it won't be long before you've exceeded the price of the leprechaun.
Personally I'd think it'd be a better deal if the little bugger acted as extra storage/Inf bank.
So the little guy is as weak as the Vet pets? Eek...
So, for 800p, I get a 10% influence boost off the 1 minion that falls, since it'll be dead from the AoE's in the alpha immediatly following that.
Yeah, no thanks.

Hol' up, hol' up!!! It dies?! I'm not spending 800p for a 10% Inf bonus if it has the life expectancy of an ice cube in a raging fire!!!|

He should be unkillable .
I don't think a non perma 10% inf buff is worth that price, even if he was unkillable.Do you, the ones setting the prices.. realise how small 10% actually is? I don't like the fact that this is just feeling insulting now (I'm having my entitlement moment). I'm struggling with annoying game bugs that are disrupting my QOL, from MM bugs, supposed memory leak bugs to LFG bugs that can't seem to get high priority. Then these things go on sale.
I was actually gonna get this when it was released. I figured by the time it hit Live, he'd either be untouchable or be priced so low, I'd be hardpressed not to make a purchase. I was wrong. Again.
I'm just gonna get my lowbie, do some missions an forget this ever happened.

Haha I still got it as I am a self professed mark for Coh in support of them but 800PP is downright silly...|

So did they have anything else new on the market this week?
Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.
Didn't see anything else.
Yeah, looks like we've finally found an item I won't buy. Well, I suppose I didn't buy the Halloween costumes (PPD hardsuit, carnies, etc.), but yeah, this isn't even remotely useful to me at that price, or even half of it.

800 PP?
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
I saw it, and decided I wouldn't be buying it.
Then I saw the price, and decided I definitely wouldn't be buying it.
Then I read the description, saw it had a real, tangible, long-term benefit to every single one of my characters, and decided I very well might be buying it.
Then I read this thread, found out the little bugger can be killed, and decided I made the right decision the first time. And the second time.
Ten bucks for half a spawn's worth of boosted inf plus the embarrassment of having the Mayor of Munchkinland prance around behind me is ludicrous.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
Ahahahaha
Is Gabe Newell in charge of marketing over there or something? Ten dollars for this?
Hahahahahahahahano. /pass

If it was unkillable, I'd pay 600 points for it.
If it really does have the durability of the Vet Buff Pets, then it'll be totally useless - it'll be nothing more than an UGLY vanity pet that despawns every time you get into a fight.
@Roderick
They sure do make it easy to save points. Hopefully one day they'll put something on the market that I might want to buy. As it stands, most of the stuff theyve been peddling, I wouldnt use even if it were free.

In all seriousness, though -- we have a Leprechaun Pet on the Market as of today for the price of 800 points.
I'm not one to freak out over price but seriously? It's the equal price of a powerset.
Did someone misplace a 0?
