Question / Discussion: How much of an increase would it take to entice players to do more regular content?
nope. I’m not going to support any of you whiny kids who want moar. How much of a penalty should we enact on those who don’t do what we want? I’m hoping for 100%-

@Yomo Kimyata Anything you'd change in this?
my first thought is to change the title from Pretty Good to Pretty Damn Spectacular but I’ll take a look-

What about knockdown on scrappers?
I hate to give away obvious secrets, but this is, in fact, the way.

Fixed that for you. And, I strongly suspect there are about 10-20 players with more than yomo or me. I think there's a number of players who look at Yomo and think, "Is that all you have?"
Honestly, I don't have any idea of how much liquid inf I have anymore. Whoever is managing the PvP factory and/or the purple factory may well be in the mutilple trillions range, but I cannot imagine how much time it might take them per day in order to lock it up -- I generally just get involved there at weak points nowadays.

Yes. Actually at this point, somewhere in my gallery, I have someone with either a factory for making everything or have hundreds or thousands of things in storage. Generally, all of my alts self finance, and the only things I will consider emailing are lvl 53 HOs (and then only the expensive ones). Everything else I just buy and sell on the open market but since I am not in this business to give things away I will generally do things like buy ten things, use one and sell the other 9 for a 25% profit.

Also, thanks to the devs front-loading powers, I find that the levelling experience is more annoying pre-31 since I generally am wishing for the three enhancement slots than I am for getting my T9 at level 26 and then not having anything constructive to do with it until I level higher then exempt back down.

It's worthwhile noting that your playstyle will affect your perception on this. If I'm levelling a scrapper, I will up my difficulty and number of opponents as I move along. By the time I'm in my 40s, I'm probably running x5-x8 and that increases your experience rate like mad. Generally, my 40s are like a fever dream because they move by so quickly.

If I had to guess I'd say about level 42 which is a different outfit entirely.

Back to OP: you may not be aware of this but you can literally resummon your pets every five seconds. So if you aren’t using group fly to keep your personal experience at tip top, your team experience should be very similar in terms of what you are contributing

Is it PvP if we don't care? I've been getting less and less focused in getting the most profit. Noticed that when I outfitted a couple characters in a reckless manner, and I'm still richer than when I started them.
Personally, I don't think of Market PvP(lol) as buyer v. seller, but rather buyer v. buyer or seller v. seller. I think if you don't care then it's just plain P.

Half the people in this thread have been taking everyone to the cleaners and they don't even know it. 😄
I think that market PvP is really interesting, partly because I always think I'm winning, and I'll bet many of my counterparties think the same thing...

Why would Endurance be a bottleneck on a set with an endurance regain power?
Two reasons from my gameplay experience:1. War Mace is endurance heavy, even well slotted. Also consider you can slot three AOE with FF +rech and that is a never ending cavalcade of joy that sucks your blue bar dry.
2. Ninjitsu’s endurance regain power kind of sucks. Yeah, it’s a lot better than nothing, but it’s a click that only affects you and can at realistically best give you 60% of your endurance back every 25-30 seconds. Unless I want to assign five extra slots to health and stamina, which I do not!

Not sure I understand the build philosophy in taking the T9 + Shadow Meld. This isn't a Regen setup, you should be able to reach softcap without compromising. My past Nin build have taken neither and survived handily.
Nin is sort of good like that. It just does everything well enough. Except protecting you from KB in the early levels.
Also seeing Crit Strikes in Clobber makes me sad. That's the power you want to use when Crit Strikes procs. I've made the argument in the past it's good for a high proc rate and you go right into Crowd Control for a sweep of Crits but having played with both setups in the end I realized I was wrong. CC does well enough on it's own felling chaff. You want that big number for hard targets.
nods. All of it. -
Here are some initial thoughts, and I'll try a build over the next week:
I solo just about everything, so in general I want a ST rotation and an AoE rotation. For ST I'll go with some combo of Pulverize, Clobber, Shatter, and a snipe. For AoE I've got Whirling Mace, Shatter, Crowd Control. For WM I use Shatter as the holder for Critical Strikes proc to enhance crits for both ST and AoE. This also means I'll always lead out of "hide" with Shatter.
I usually three slot generic defense toggles with a LotG proc and 2x lvl 53 cytos. Saves me slots I put elsewhere since the bonuses for defense sets are pretty weak and I'm better off using those slots elsewhere.
I'm not really seeing the point in the T9. Yes, it doubles your DDR, but then again, I'm only going to need ANY DDR on a streak breaker. Even if the crash is manageable, I'd rather smash than manage.
Thinking power pools of Leaping (CJ), Fighting (Kick, Tough, Weave), and either 3 from Force of Will or 4 from Experimentation. I'm skipping Hasten because I find that 2-3 FF +rech keeps that +100 up most of the time.
Endurance will be a bottleneck, and I will probably need to use an epic pool to address it. Psionic Mastery gives me endurance help and a snipe. Done.

The combination War Mace - Ninjitsu is only available on Scrappers (I did not know this). So I am intrigued. Battle Ax too
Ninjitsu is only for scrappers and stalkers, so this isn’t some great conspiracy! Stalkers get Ninja Blade instead of Katana, and the powers that be feel (rightfully imo) that Battle Axe, War Mace, and Titan Weapons would be too powerful for stalkers without significant rebalancing.
Coincidentally I just started reinvestigating my WM/Nin who I took to 50 but didn’t love. I don’t have much experience with pure defense sets, but my hazy memory says that I remember him being significantly more fragile than I expected. That said it was an organic build in an unknown set to me so I’m sure I made errors. I’ll be back later on this one.

I am absolutely going to try to increase the graphical load on each of my characters.

This is me, but only to a point....depending on how many Catalysts I've stockpiled and/or the market price of Catalysts determines what I do on the level 50 respec. If I'm leveling slowly enough I may use the AH to catalyze, but I'm a little uneven about this.
When I turn 50, which I have done a bunch of times, I'm generally going to need about 20-25 catalysts. Usually I put in lowball bids for 30 or so a day or two before I hope to ding 50. but that said, so what if I go into the market and spend 25mm on catalysts? 25mm is a rounding error for me and I think for most experienced players. I've even clicked on the Character Items page to pull off catalysts from there, and we all know that's not worth our time!

I would have hoped that at this point, "Your mileage may vary" would be implied!
When I am playing a level 50, it's probably solo and I'm probably playing at +4/x8 and maybe with a Windfall active. It doesn't take many missions before I am full or salvage or recipes or enhancements, and I generally only do inventory management when I get a flash telling me that I'm full of something or other.
I cut off rare recipes because I don't choose to put in the effort to weed out the valuable ones. It's a higher return for me to get fifty common recipes that will net me 5mm inf than for me to get ten rares of which I will vendor 9 for 10k and spend 1mm on salvage and crafting for one LotG that happens to drop. Or better yet, if I feel like crafting on that character I'll buy fifty level 41 Red Fortunes and craft and convert them to LotG and make 100mm+ profit.

Wait am I missing something? Why is it beneficial to turn off rare recipes?
By the time I hit 50, there are very few rare recipes that are worth crafting or selling. Between the crafting cost and the rare salvage, you are already about 1mm inf in the hole. And rare recipes are only worth 10k to the vendor, so I just turn them off so I have more room for commons, PvP, and purples. It's a minor thing.
-
I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle.
-
I think it also worthwhile mentioning that when I ding 50 I turn off uncommon recipes and often rare recipes as well at the P2W. The crafting cost is close to a half million inf for a level 50 recipe and if I’m going to craft on that alt I see no need to add a half million to my cost basis. I keep commons, pvps, and rares active.

If you want to get around the rare salvage cost...there are SOME rare IO sets that have a yellow in its set.......you can craft these with cheap salvage and then convert within the same set to get the rare counterparts in its respective set......and if you choose, once, you have that rare in hand....you can convert for a different rare out of set or a certain IO type which may prove to be more lucrative.
Also, there are some uncommon IO sets that require a rare salvage to craft. Pretty sneaky, sis!

A to do list for level 50?

The OP is a real life friend of mine, and not only has he not played this game in over a year, I'm not sure he even knows how to use his computer anymore.
