Tidbit

Now it's a party. Welcome! Or maybe you're welcoming the rest of HC! Do I smell a plot?

On Excel I don't find it too difficult. Quite few people already have this down, and it doesn't seem to take long to get new players up to speed with some basic info. On quieter servers, I'd imagine it would be more difficult as I think people who are exclusive to those servers aren't as familiar. Running a new event like this with a lot of new people can be taxing. But I find if you script out your instructions, and perhaps announce them in the request channel, it might help. I don't know that I'd be up for changes to the current mechanics if that time can be spent on fleshing out the zone more. Maybe new secret rooms, more maps, and so forth.

Thanks. Are there 5 other doors like this? Or 3 other, since there are 5 different Minotaur types?

Oddly enough, when I follow those coordinates from the lobby, it takes me to the yellow Praetorian warehouse where I can click, and it says "A badacious bovine shaped sign hangs on the warehouse door here: Entry is restricted to Minotaurs only! If you are not a Minotaur, take beef to management." Come to realize that any orange coordinates (that I've checked) lead to that door. There is an orange Praetorian warehouse, and at [-4062.4 -151.7 -370.2] there is another sign that reads "A cute cow-shaped sign hangs on the warehouse door here: Entry is restricted to Minotaurs only. If you are not a Minotaur, please moo've along." Has this been called out anywhere? Is this just for fun? Edit - and now I'm just realizing the text of the sign matches the color map. So probably 5 more signs to find. Maybe lead to the mini-pets?

Someone had told me therewas no orange secret room. Anyone know if that is true? I believe was discuseed on Dicord.

It also has the P2W vendor that you can access during TFs. And it was how rogues and vigilantes could go from red side to blue and back, before we could put beacons in sg bases, or have fancy teleportation.

Wow. I have a daughter who is 19. I can't even imagine . . . My condolences to family and friends.

I remember him from the live forums and had teamed with him once or twice here. So sorry to hear this.

Sharing my thoughts as I try to plan for this year. It is possible they will reduce the actual price to what the other super packs are going for. Doubtful, but still a possibility. Otherwise: I will have to stock up and keep everything I buy for future use. I will buy up a lot and sell it off. It will probably be a couple years before I am able to make a profit. Especially if everyone knows this may be the last year, they'll be stocking up, too. But at some point they'll run out, or new players will join that don't have a stockpile. I will do something in between - stock up for myself and buy up a supply to sell when the buying price is at a comfortable level. Decisions, decisions.

If I'm going to work up a character, as opposed to PLing, I prefer to have them earn their keep. But if they do a lot of teaming I'll usually send them enough to buy the TPs, which are helpful.

What is today?

I thought salvage had been seeded in the auction house by the devs?

I spend them almost exclusively on enhancement boosters. I get enough unslotters from superpacks, converters from the market and catalysts from farming.

It all fluctuates. For awhile I was buying the Achilles' Heel special recipe for half a mil, crafting (takes common and uncommon), and selling the crafted piece for 5 million plus. The recipe has gone up, but still might be worth a look.

Assuming the sale happens again next year, there will probably be a bigger glut on the market afterwards as I think more people will take advantage. For me, I'll just be resupplying my personal stock. Now if we can get a special rate on the ATOs . . . 🙂

I have to admit I was a little nervous that this would blow up in my face. I even thought I might have to wait a couple months before I could start selling. It will be interesting to see what happens next year.

I bought 1900 during the sale. I plan to open 400 of them and have been selling the rest back at $25 mil. Over halfway done with that.

That was the best! I kept trying to find my character in the video, but he was a little guy and melee so lost in the thick of it all. But I did see a warning or two in red for him. Thanks for the video!

Yep, this is a great feature. But be careful you don't do this when you are already in a TF or flashback. You'll drop out of it. I've done this a couple times :(. Another useful tip - if you started a TF and you get a last minute request to join, instead of everyone dropping, the leader just needs to use the LFG and everyone will TP to the TF contact, team will be intact, and you will be starting over.

If you want something, you either find/make it yourself, or you buy it (or you have a generous benefactor). If you don't like the price, don't buy it. If I take the time and trouble to make something, or I'm lucky to find something, why shouldn't I ask what I want for it? Why should others benefit by forcing me to sell at their price?

Were you capped?

I think you can buy the crafting table power from the P2W vendor. Edit: It's called Portable Workbench and you can buy it for 10 mill. inf. at P2W or earn it the old fashioned way by getting the Field Crafter Accolade. The table is on a timer, but recharges quickly enough. And I find if I keep the recipe/crafting window open, even when the table does go away I can still craft.

Why not one of each? See how it goes. With accelerated leveling you'll soon have a good feel for which is better. Everyone has a different play style so what works for one may not work for you. Have fun!

Maybe a Market section? And maybe a teaming section to organize activities in each server, like planned costume contests, incarnate trials, etc.
