Ok finally a definitive answer for the debt badge needed for High Pain. First, make sure you have patrol exp to cover it or the debt will stop when you hit the threshold of the next badge and you'll have to leave and kill things to clear it (experienced charges from super packs are handy here). If you're under level 45 go to monster island from the Grandville sub, turn off shields, run into monkey mobs, repeat til 200k debt is paid off. If you're level 50 go to the abyss from the same sub and let a giant monster kill you. It only takes 3 deaths to go from 0-200k debt in that scenario, with the tradeoff being no HPT til 50. But if you PL'd your toon it's perfect.

I usually leave BuildUp as my auto power, so it just goes off whenever it can. Sure, I might not be able to time things perfectly, but I figure that's outweighed by the number of times I'd forget to hit it otherwise. Am I screwing myself over by doing this? Is there a better use of the one auto power we get?
I'd probably not do it since I want build up recharged for a new mob but if it's working for you, why not.

Here's mine. Just got it accoladed and not level shifted yet but I like it more than the scrap I rerolled it from already. Kinda jealous of the third telenuke in builds above. My single target chain is basically all charged, chain, ass shock with the occasional jacob for good measure and because it also toggles hasten to auto.

Defense softcap is key. I just rerolled my elec/shield scrap (which was itself a reroll of a brute on live) into a stalker, which I'm happier with. Defense was never the biggest problem once the scrap was IOd out - it was pecking away at remaining bosses with no minions/lieuts left alive to charge against all odds enough that my single target powers weren't trash. I also had an elec/shield tank on live which obviously had the same problem. Stalker assassin's strike solves the single target problem nicely. With scrap I'd recommend running without bosses and let it be your large mob purple drop roll toon.

I've yet to see any personal attacks and my 'dismissive tone' earlier wasn't intended as such. But referring to people who disagree with you for perfectly good reasons as 'rabble coming out with pitchforks' and attributing their disagreements to their not being economists, rather than to their just thinking you're wrong w/r/t the actual game's economy, seems to be both dismissive and attacking.

Well, it is true, four GMs have responded here and are actively trying to understand what Mr. User is asking. Mind you, we're just GMs, we don't set economic policy, and I'm the only one of us who was even in the room when the market was seeded. We're not really looking at major policy changes, here, unless Mr. User really convinces me and I send it to Jimmy.
Tough project there, convincing someone to intervene in a market to correct a non-existent inflation.
-
In general it just seems like the OP is requesting unnecessary changes be made to the economy such that it conforms to a personal standard yet to be made entirely clear for reasons yet to be made entirely clear. I wonder if this isn't all more about the p.v.p. pen and paper stuff OP mentioned than any actual issues with HC - i.e. in a previous situation OP successfully adjusted a bad economy so now looks to adjust other economies in a similar manner whether they're broken or not? Hammers, nails, the whole bit?

Hah, yeah I'm not that bad. It's more a strong opener than a berserker rage as a lot of my survivability is built on a blaster-style "they can't kill me if they're already dead" attitude when my click powers are down. Also, I need to start off Hidden so I have to hang out for a few seconds. I'm not a selfish teammate, honest!
That did make me chuckle, though.
Hmm. I was wondering about this as I have it slotted in with the rest of the set for the bonuses and I wondered how the recharge would impact it.
recharge in the power doesn't matter since it's not a PPM

Yes, I can. That literally used to be my job. I can also tell you how much things would cost if our goal was to optimize for any of several scenarios. I would do this by using math to show you how much Influence someone earns through normal gameplay as they level a character, and how many Merit Rewards they usually "accidentally" find as they do so. Then I would show you what the guides and Archetype forums say a normal level 50 build looks like, then I would work backwards to see what reasonable builds in the 20-25 range and level 35-40 range look like. I would say: "This is your budget in this level range, that build should cost an amount that pays attention to your budget. You can set things so they have to come up sort if you want them to work harder, or you can set things so they have extra flexibility. Once you've set your standard anything higher is either because you want the players to have to work more, or is an inflationary market fluctuation you didn't account for. If you have inflation you need to address that with market intervention/controls."
In your job did you arbitrarily not count assets? Because you're continually speaking as if the standard of earning should be based on vendoring prices but the standard of purchasing should be based on buy it nao market prices. The 'inflationary market fluctuation' can work in your favor too if you don't just limit yourself because of idk, rp? I don't get this insistence that a standard be set either. From what I can gather from hearing about the pre-market days there was never really a standard - people couldn't even afford to fully SO their toons until they got a 50 and could farm to get them and fund alts. In general though I just don't see the problem you're having. This economy is closer to a chicken in every pot than anything you're likely to come across in an mmo, much less in the real world.
Also note re the cost to generic IO that with so many trying to get their crafting badges you can get a lot of the crafted IOs on the AH for cheaper than the cost of the recipe at the crafting table. Level 50 ones are like 300k.
-
Just noticed that even though this is a weird global sort of proc it still seems to depend on the power it's slotted in being available and used, like a normal proc. Had to yank it out of lightning rod to charged brawl to get it functioning in the insane way i'd grown accustomed to on my other stalker. I'm prolly the last to get the memo here but thought i'd mention it in case i wasn't.

OP needs to remember that the live devs also balanced the game around SOs so it was quite easy to have a build finalized by level 50 without touching the auction house. You can do that on HC too and have more leftover inf because you'll be getting more drops to vendor. You could probably even fully common IO yourself without AH on HC by 50. If you're at regular XP and only run merit-rewarding arcs/TFs you could probably have a pretty decent set build by 50 without touching the AH. If the live devs had any intention of people being able to finance full IO set builds without touching the AH by level 50 then they failed miserably somewhere.

I finally ran into something my bio couldn't handle without mad clicking and insp use - the hydra heads while trying to solo Apex. Oddly the person with the solo record on the speed tf thread is using bio so it might just be my build.

I must've sold 40 or 50 LotG 7.5 over the weekend. I threw them up for under 7 and they all sold in minutes at 7 or 8 so I must've missed the window where the ebil marketeer was able to corner them. I'm not sure who these supposed hoarding speculators are, but it seems to me there's been a general downward trend on prices across the board apart from purples and some of the ATOs and winter IOs. And as has been mentioned, converters, bucketing and merits give a de facto hard cap on everything. I'm willing to pay a bit more than merit/conversion cost for some things just to avoid the hassle but if market costs got out of hand i have thousands of untouched merits on alts.
Also if the OP is getting a purple drop an hour they're likely killing so much they don't need to worry about inf anyway.

I too try to keep things somewhat centered mainly because I have tunneled vision, so I only see what's in the middle of the screen.
I laughed when I saw that you had a macro for saying "Gratz". And how do you enable enemy health bars? I might want to try this out.
it's /optionset showvillainname 1 and /optionset showvillainbars 1

There are definitely better sellers than buyers, and I think there will be so long as it's one of the best ways to monetize merits. Like I've said early and often, converters are a really strange commodity, where people are dying to sell them to make inf, and people are dying to buy them to make even more inf.
A chicken in every pot, dogs and cats living together, quotations and metaphors mixing freely. It's paradise in our time.

I admit the 7 trays is excessive but some toons i have quite a few macros and temps thrown over there so i just let it be my base setup so i'd always have room. Generally it's 3 trays with one being my toggles, the far right for teleports and the square one above for things like fortune/mutation/insp and hybrid power. Also keep power icons up there for powers that have macros for location targeting so i can keep track of when they're up.
Also like to say anyone who doesn't leave their map up all the time is an irredeemable deviant who should be ostracized from civil society 😛

It's 9999, or at least it was on live. Had a friend who made it his mission to cap them.

Finished, thought it was great. Would go read the comical booklet but don't want to blow the cliffhanger. Now if someone would do Wanted closer to the comic it'd be a nice companion piece.

You forgot to include instructions on finding in-game coordinates (/loc or /showfps 3) or on how to click a hyperlink. So lazy 😛
Jokes aside, an addendum to my earlier posts re. kills for exp - my new wolf spider go-to is dr. shelly percey's 'Midas Touched' arc. 3 mishes, first two are mostly wolf spiders and a ghostable mish to protect a glowie as last mish.
-
That seems right, thanks. I have a tendency toward saving build up too much anyway and this just magnifies it. If you go check my inventory in single player games you'll probably find 99 basic potions in all of them too 😛

For the situation where the mark proc goes off while build up is active has anyone done the nerd math on hitting build up again vs waiting for first to end? Is the lost built up attack during the animation made up for by the double build up for the next few seconds? I've just been going by feel depending on how far into the original, what i'm targeting, etc., but it seems like the kind of thing some min/max lunatic would have a chart on already.

How do you trouble shoot when it's not working?
You can see where I put the file:
the file contents
I restarted the game
then in chat I did: /bind e popmenu chat
nothing happen when I hit the e key...
You're missing a carriage return at the start of the file. Also I think if you're going to bind it to 'e' you need to change the 'q' to an 'e' after the '&' but Zolgar would be better equipped to comment on that one. I've gotten the only one of these I've tried to work based off his/her inspiration stuff in one of the farming threads.

I give away a ton to friends. This is just helping save fingers while one friend works toward the same financial position i'm at. It's just nice to be able to make enough easily that I can pricey IO as I level on every alt plus throw money at friends' builds and some to new players in help for p2w powers and marketing startup. Much as I loved the live game I don't miss weeks of farming and marketing just to slot out one build with IOs that cost as much each as entire build today.

I've started buying off market from a friend who's making his money doing super packs. I just give him 100k each and he saves market fees and his fingers from clicking hundreds of times. Sitting on like 2700 right now that i need to use.
