    There are days that I go through those 1,000 converters.  I am glad that I can help the market economy with my purchases. 

    You must get them some other way, maybe via reward merits. I mostly get them through cards and so they go into my email and have to be retrieved one painful click at a time. And sometimes the claim button comes right back, sometimes it takes 5 or even 10 seconds.

  2. My market playing is making items and listing them. First, I'll just forge anything I have all the ingredients for and throw it in the ah. Sometimes I'll buy a ton of cards and open them and sell the proceeds. This is very good, but a lot more painful since getting things out of email was throttled. Takes forever to get 1,000 converters, for instance. I used to have a macro that just sat and clicked the mouse but that doesn't work so well now 😞

  3. When I'm feeling mischievous I'll log onto my kin defender who has speed boost slotted with max +running. This puts them at max run speed for all regular movements. Most people aren't used to that and have a difficult time controlling their toon. Too much of a good thing...

     

    Anyone else have anything they when feeling mischievous?

    • Kuji-In Retsu (the T9) seems to have a pretty decent use case on /Nin, giving you some hefty DDR in situations where you might otherwise be overwhelmed. Do you enjoy it? I was considering taking it, using the mule to save a slot, and dropping Super Jump (free slot would go to keep the slow resist IO elsewhere).

    It's a great power, making you super tough for 3 minutes (which is quite a long time). The crash is not ideal, but I can't remember ever not finishing off my antagonists before it ran out. I only use it in tough situations, but it allows me to jump into a large group of 54 bosses and survive.

    Ditto Kuji-In Retsu, it's just a mule for the LotG IO. 

     

     

    You are totally missing out then. Kuji-in Retsu is an amazing power that lets you fight pretty much anything. Yes, the crash is a problem, but you have 3 minutes to defeat whatever you are up against, and that's a huge amount of time. I also one-slot it, but I think if you start using it you'll find it's a very nice power.

    So i just got my ^^^^.

     

    Im looking for a guide on....general things i should or should not be doing.  I understand this is vague.

     

    Ive got my alpha slot and looked up leveling it up and such, and where that salvage comes from, so ITFs, but should i avoid some as a not tricked out level 50?   should i aim for doing something specific for a while then build up to "higher ITFs"? 

     

    apologies for not being exactly specific, as i dont have much knowledge besides what i can find on here for guides to things and having little luck with the googles so far.

    Congrats!

    This is a vent post...and if this describes something you've done to others, I hope you stub your toe walking around the house this week.

     

    So, I run a bots mm that utilizes group fly. Bots are primarily ranged attackers, so I like to fly the team around and blast things from out of melee range...plus it just looks cool when the bots are using their thrusters. I'm practical...I won't use it in closed maps like caves.

     

    At any rate I'm in a TF and 75% of the way through the leader asks me to turn it off (in a open map no less) I refuse because others shouldn't be able to impose on my playstyle (when Null exists to solve that issue) and I get booted.

     

    As a casual gamer my time is very valuable to me and getting through most of the TF just to not get the rewards was super aggravating. Can GMs do nothing to these people if we report them?

    Look, I know I should go to null gull for every character and change it so that group fly doesn't affect me, but I haven't. Your using group fly in this way would annoy me as well.

     

    That said, I would assume responsibility and take a side trip to Pocket-D instead of asking you to change your playstyle.

  8. Maybe it's my settings but it's impossible to play in teams anymore let alone leagues. Everything is so bright with explosions and bubbles and color everywhere that I can't see a thing. I've been playing for over a decade and it's never been like this before. Below is an extremely typical image of an average fight. 

     

    Thoughts?

    At this point one of the teammates, a controller, yells at me for telling him how to play because he knows how to play, and I shouldn't give advice since I let two people die.

     

    Like i'm sonic/sonic, if you do something like run away from me and get yourself killed, that is on you.


    My recommendation is to just let them die and not tell them how to play. If they verbally get after you first, then it’s fine to defend yourself and point out what they are doing to contribute to their own deaths. 

  10. I don’t have Mids loaded so I can’t talk specifics to this build, but the general advice from @Maelwys looks strong. Procs are very helpful. 
     

    My one specific is that if you are going to do PBAOE then strongly slotting hot feet for slow makes a tremendous difference. You can’t hurt people if they run out of your radius. Without a good boost to the slow effect hot feet will simply drive everyone away. My very extensive experience in this shows that slow is far more valuable than damage on Hot Feet. 

  11. For a couple of years I was making thousands of trades a day. Even had a fair amount of automation going. But then the systems started to reject more and more transactions (with the note: "Please wait a moment."). At that point it stopped being worth it. 

     

    My gig was buying packs, opening them en mass, converting the enhancements until I got saleable ones. Rinse and repeat. Quite profitable. 5% if I just dumped the cargo. 50%+ if I used converters and priced things not too aggressively. ABIG added bonus is that I ended up with a thousands of useful things like team inspirations and amplifiers. (Here's an experiment. Stock up on team damage/accuracy enhancements. Get on a team fighting AVs. See how well the team is doing. After awhile, use enough of those inspirations to max everyone's damage. I usually go with 4 larges. Then watch what happens. Struggling teams instantly turn into romping teams. Surprising numbers of players never understand what changed. Inspirations are vastly under appreciated)

     

    I got so tired of the increasing "wait a moment" notes that I stopped supplying lots of great things to the market for cheap prices.

    Probably wasn't helped by the discovery/creation of the winter pack opening macroes either. Poor servers having to deal with a bunch of us spam opening hundreds of packs in seconds.

     

     

    I am so very, very guilty of this. I had things highly automated and would just buy, open, take from email, post to AH, rinse and repeat. Extremely profitable.

  13. When Homecoming became known to me I rolled a Storm/Ice defender for nostalgic reasons. I choose to take three rain powers: Blizzard, Ice Storm and Freezing Rain. I LOVE this toon and those rain powers are a good part of why.

     

    I tried looking around, including at City of Data 2.0, to see if there might be a build that could fit even more rain powers, but wasn't able to find any.

     

    I figured I'd tap into the collective knowledge here. Any thoughts?

    And, really, these guys, in particular the GMs, are every bit as good as the ones that were around during live. 


    a big +1 in this, even before adjusting for the size of their team and resources they have. They do a solid job with little money or support.
