Ironblade

Well, I often run an mp3 player in the background and like to be able to hear both at reasonable levels. So . . .

Could be. It's pretty brutal. I soloed it this morning and it felt . . . weird going from a group of Ravenna that were wimps to the next group having three EB's. On a side note, just ran the ITF on Advanced Difficulty and, at one point, most of the team died and about five people had their games crash simultaneously. They filed bug reports.

It isn't. It's gone. Kaput. Expunged. Deleted.

Fun fact: there's no T in 'exemp' because it's short for 'exemplar'. 🙂 https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Sidekick#Exemplar.2FMalefactor

Right. But I take my time and do them when they're the weeklies and, if my math is right, that's 424 reward merits.

A task force would be nice. Blue has a task force that starts at level 8. Red has a strike force that starts at level 15. Gold has jack.

Anything you can email, you can email across shards. Also, I have a mule character specifically for carrying stuff between shards. Any other method of moving thousands of converters would be out of the question.

Same here. The only place I see them advertised is on Discord.

I wait until they're the weekly so that the reward is, in my opinion, high enough to justify running the tedious ones. Since I'm typically only leveling one character at any given time, I only have to run the annoying ones ONCE. The fun ones (Yin, Posi, Manti), I'll run multiple times when they're the weeklies. (Lots of 50's need Notices of the Well.) I thought of it as soon as I read the OP. Does that count? 😉

To be fair, people have actually studied this and estimate that between 5 and 10% of a games players actually visit the forums. It might be a little higher here, since you are compelled to create a forum account in order to create your game account.

Up until page 4, I only ran it when there were badges involved. Now they're adding a new currency from hard mode so I might run it more often (since you need the new currency to get badges).

Well I'm even older and grouchier now so whoever necro'ed this thread needs to get off my lawn!

Here's a much cooler looking naked mole rat. This is Rufus from the 'Kim Possible' cartoon.

You can't look at the numbers NOW. Some people have been panic-converting once this was announced. Looking at the numbers from 2 or 3 months ago and comparing with the past month would be interesting, though.

Some builds use a lot of END. Most of my characters take all the Leadership toggles. Toggle Man runs 18 toggles. When I 3-slot Stamina, I'll have the Performance Shifter proc, Perf Shifter endmod (so I get a set bonus) and an endmod common IO. The proc will be min level so I can slot it early, the other two pieces will be level 50 and (if I need it) boosted. On a related note, the Panacea proc gives you more END than any other single IO, including the Miracle +rec.

I have no strong opinion on the first question. On the second, I say absolutely not since that would facilitate gold farmers / RMT.

I speculate that they don't want to implement a rule that they have admitted they are unable to enforce.

I think a better question is how it affects YOUR economy. Some items should be dumped at the vendor because it's not worth your time to list them on the market. Some items will get you A LOT more inf if you list them on the market.

Absolutely brilliant. I just saw this thread because of a new post, loaded all the files, and ran thru Founders Falls to check it out. This is fantastic since you just need to hit a single key to go to the next item once you've loaded a zone. I have a keybind file that I automatically load on every character and I just bound this popmenu to one of the F keys.

Pshaw! Playing this game demonstrates less maturity than 'adult' games like golf or poker? 😛

They don't. I've verified this many times. Like while I was soloing the Yin TF three times last week.

It shouldn't be too hard. They apparently have the 'slidey' effect set up so that it can be applied to various surfaces. We've seen various frozen lakes we could slide around on.

Right. There's no guarantee or contract. Kind of like with crowdfunding. Oh look, Star Citizen has raised over $490 MILLION dollars and is still in alpha.

The situations are not really comparable. Back on live, we had 12 characters slots per shard unless we paid extra. Now, we have 1,000 per shard. That makes grabbing names that you 'might play some day' trivial, rather than using up valuable character slots. Edit: Also, it was never run again because the devs said it didn't free up many names. In this very thread, GM Impervium said: "But yes, under-leveled, unplayed characters are a huge deal, and I can guarantee a LOT of names are going to get freed up!"

I would turn that around a bit and say: To someone with a sense of entitlement, it seems like no one is listening to them. Which is, of course, crazy. Since they are OBVIOUSLY a knowledgeable expert and should be listened to. If no one is listening to their sage advice, it MUST be because there is some kind of conspiracy going on. No other explanation makes sense!
