o.0 No offense, but how can you possibly believe that going from "no place to spend significant quantities of Inf" to "lots of really cool stuff to spend Inf on" would have no effect on the desirability of ways to acquire Inf? Economically speaking, that's the equivalent of believing 2+2=3. Which should lead to thinking about why, if all the "old" Inf (accumulated over a period of three years) was gone, did prices continue to rise? (Especially in a game with steadily declining population.) That can only happen if Inf continues to flow into the system, and does so at ever increasing rates.

I also think a lot of people vastly underestimated the amount of time and effort it would take to create a new game from scratch. There were multiple confident predictions that we'd all be back in a new (spiritual successor) within a year. Here we are seven years later, and the biggest effort with the most sustained support... Is only just now releasing a beta of the costume creator.

Not entirely irrelevant. The Day One prices (actually IIRC the first month or so as the unleashed torrents of Inf sloshed through the system) helped set the bar and contributed to farming's rise in popularity.

It's hardly considered not-stupid to have a beef with reality. I was there, I saw the insane prices for all but the crappiest IO's. I can't tell if you're exaggerating or putting the finishing touches on a strawman, either way, you're dead wrong. There was a tremendous amount of inf piled up in the wallets of thousands of characters, and when the auction house opened for business, prices did soar to the moon and beyond. Desirable IO's (Such as the Numina unique) sold for hundreds of millions of inf. Desirable common salvage (such as that used in End Rec IO's) sometimes went for 1k+. (And could and did spike much higher on occasion.)

I was looking at that today... how animation time affected the damage bonus. It's dominated by recharge at the moment, but that will change. (I skipped Frost Breath for concept reasons.)

Leveling an ice/ice blaster, and even at lvl 9 I'm finding she's pretty fun to play. (Those controls are sweet when solo.) Anyhow, what are the key powers in the sets? What should I avoid, what should I be sure and not miss taking? What are the combos/tactics available? Generally, I'm a hoverblaster... Blapping is only for emergencies or finishers.

Sounds more to me like they have a bunch of once-in-a-blue-moon situational powers that they want visible and available 100% of the time. Or, in other words, the very edgiest of edge cases.

It's mostly long forgotten now... But the early attempts to create a replacement for OG CoX were... Well, riddled with spectacular explosions and implosions. There was a ton of disagreement on practically every facet of every revival effort. Just keeping track, let alone trying to understand them, of the various efforts and schisms was practically a full time job.

Indeed. And the unpleasantness and ill will generated in such forums (unless very heavily moderated, and sometimes even then) will invariably spill out into the rest of the forum. I've seen power kegs lit in an off topic forum explode and take down the entire forum... (And that was before the current political environment.) It's a lot of work for a mod team to keep a lid on, and can (and probably will) generate a lot of ill will between users and users and users and mods. So, yeah, I'd be highly tempted to /jranger this idea too. What you gain is not worth the the cost.

Yeah. No feedback happening here, just the same people arguing in the same well worn circles.

(Orchestral piece, no lyrics.)

As I said back on the first page, the trails that used to lead to the Hollows were blocked off when they revamped the zone.

Only if you're a total [censored]head and and have the mental capacity of the average cabbage - and feel that you're less of a person unless you're getting an advantage from your inherent. In other words, nah. You're massively over-reacting.

*Consider*, I think, being the appropriate word... I'm reminded of something BaBs said back on Live - "The best thing a developer can do is listen to the playerbase. The worst thing a developer can do is listen to the playerbase."

Thanks!

Earth control... Remind me, if I put acc and dmg enh in slots on my pets, do they or don't they affect the pet?

Though scraping is kinda dickish.... There's the server status page. (in the toolbar at the top of the screen.)

If I have one regular set IO, and and one attuned set IO (both from the same set and in the same power)... Will I still get the set bonus?

I wouldn't say "nothing". There's quite a few hunt missions, and several door missions. And the Council War Walker event...

/buildfile exports your character's build. You can save your costume at Icon or Facemaker.

Thanks for looking into this! build.txt

Grab the "House Hunter" badge badge in Night Ward. That grants you entrance to the Midnight Club.

It's the directions given by crytilis just a few weeks ago.

I used the /buildfile command in game.

Importing a build file... I get an error, and while it gets the powers correct, the slots are empty and the full inventory of slots does not show up. (In the picture below, Stamina should be three slotted.) It also acts as though I'm a level 2 in terms of adding slots.
