    I would go Willpower/Claws tanker. Your power as Santa is based on the willpower and belief that children across the globe have in you, and you also have Claus...or claws.

     

    I'm not OP, but I'm totally nabbing this for inspiration.  I feel some sort of mid-80s Marvel holiday issue Wolverine parody coming on...

    1. That's not an intentionally stupidly high bid, that's someone attempting to type 2,000,000 (i.e. the same price as the rest of the set) and accidentally adding an extra 0.

    Nope.  As I already posted above, in this exact scenario I literally paid 20mil on purpose...  after trying 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3...19.5mil and getting nowhere.  Yes, I was being impatient as heck - but I have inf to burn and was honestly curious how high I'd have to bid to finally get the IO!  What's odd, to me, is that after my single purchase at 20mil the next few were back to normal prices... despite the available pool of IOs shrinking.  Guessing some serious server lag is to blame.

    I was just purchasing the "Hypersonic" flight IO set off the AH. As per my usual purchasing method, I bid 100,000 inf over the highest recent sell prices that are shown. In this case, the first three enhancements showed "recent" prices of 2,000,000, so I bid 2,100,000 for each one, and received them almost instantly.

     

    Then I got to the fourth enhancement of the set, and glanced at the "recent" prices: Two sales for 1,000,000, two sales for 1,500,000 ... and one sale for a whopping 20,000,000 inf.

     

    Well, I'm certainly not paying that much, so just bid 2,100,000 again, which was well over the other recent prices.

     

    And then I waited. And waited. And waited. The AH still hadn't sold it to me by the time I logged out.

     

    As I said at the beginning, this is not the first time I've seen this happen. An item showing one successful bid that is grossly higher than, and out of line with, all of the others, and it takes forever for my purchase to go through when my bid is lower than that one ridiculous bid.

     

    So what's happening here? Is it the AH seeing that one person--possibly accidentally--severely over-bid, and deciding for itself that anything less than that bid should have to wait a while? Or are subsequent sellers looking at the outlier and deciding that they should now charge that much?

     

    EDIT: Actually raised my bid to 3,100,000 before I logged out. Logged in again after I posted this, and still hadn't gotten it.

     

     

    LOL, that was me.  It was not an accident, I literally kept increasing my bid by 500k at a time, until I finally got the dang IO I needed.  Yes, I was waiting a few minutes here and there, in case the system was lagging.  No idea WHY the damn thing cost 20mil in the end!  Even worse, a few hours later an older bid for 2mil finally popped.  I relisted that at cost.

    For some people it has already reached that point. And for those that it has, they don't post or play anymore. But I doubt the empathy or even interest from some present. In fact, I expect some to be happy about it.

    Except for the people who "stopped playing" and go as far as changing their sig to let everyone know "they're out of here" yet still post here constantly?  Those people?  I have a hard time believing *anyone* really quits.

    Soloing City of Heroes

    When you Solo something you solo it. One character. Not with a second character from a second account. That's a duo.

    Damn right!

     

    I've only soloed a few of the TFs so far, and a few GMs, but when *I* say I soloed something I mean with ONE character working alone!

    You only do well in being able to outfit characters in this game if you have an outfitted 50 or better yet an outfitted idealized farmer, and you understand the system, as in how to leverage what you have on the market or build that farmer who can rake in millions per minute

    Respectfully disagree.  Just by casually playing the market *as I leveled up* my very first character was fully kitted out with set IOs well before level 50, and fully ready to swap in purples/catalyze ATOs when he finally dinged 50.  Yes, since then he has made my other alts lives easier - as in they rarely even bother with the market - but it's certainly doable as you level up.

    @Galactron, chiming in - too many alts to list them all, but I mostly played Galactron and Utahraptor as a member of The Galactic Defenders.
