_NOPE_

The solution is simple. Don't "get" teams. Start them. Then you can play whatever you want, whenever you want. On the lowest population server right now, there's 54 villains, right now, during a "low" time: I'm certain that you can convince seven of them to team with you if you want a full team. With the fantastic way that the sidekicking/exemplaring system works, they're still making their XP/Influence no matter what (https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Sidekick), so... if there's a problem, it's not with the game.

That's why you make an ASP. NET website that has a downloadable offline version that shares the same code base/logic ;)

This has been my personal method to slow, but virtually guaranteed, wealth: [*]Buy uncommon set recipes from the market at level 20 (to minimize crafting fees), that have ZERO rare salvage to craft. It doesn't really matter what it is, as long as it requires no rare salvage. I usually pay about 3500 for each piece of salvage, because I'm impatient to get crafting, but surely you can pay less than a thousand each. I buy the recipes for 10K Inf... so Cost: 20.5-34K Inf [*]Craft them. Cost: 34.5K Influence [*]Convert them to another random Uncommon, doesn't matter which. Cost: 1 converter (100K Inf) [*]Convert them to within their set... 75/80% of the time, it will automatically up-convert them to Rare. Cost: 200K Inf-400K Inf depending on if it takes one or two converters to convert to a rare. If it take more, ugh you might have to eat that one. [*]Post on the market for 500K, to ensure that you make a decent profit (Cost: 25K Posting fee) [*]Wait. Cost: 0 Inf [*]Pick up your winnings! Cost: Profit!!! [*]If, for some reason, you got a crap rare enhancement that's selling on the market for like 200K or less inf or something, you'll either have to repost it for 1 inf and get what you can (call it a lost), or play roulette with converters and hope you get something good to recoup your losses. Total Cost: 380-594K Influence Average Sale price: 500K-2M Inf Average profit range: -100K to 1.62M Inf, usually you make a couple hundred thousand per on average really The law of averages works in your favor here, and you very slowly will gain the monies. You won't get super rich super fast, but you'll slowly and steadily accrue funds. If you're willing to wait and sit and see if things sell, you'll even be able to sell some of the "junk" eventually.

The point of the poll/thread, is to find out why people don't want to play Redside. Dont have a reason.

There's something that makes the little bubbler inside me giddy with the idea of a signature hero having Repulsion Field on at all times...

Galaxy City.... ... oh wait... nvm... :o

There is a seamless way - Null the Gull in Pocket D.

+1 Inf for the cheeky attitude. All guides should hope to read like this one does.

Ah.... "Object reference not set to an instance of an object", the BANE of my existence as a programmer.

Or... alternatively... bring back the old Galaxy City? I wonder if the code is still in there somewhere.... this is a new server, so damn the story implications. I always like the old GC better anyways than AP.

Man I know the last line is a paraphrase of something I've read before but I can't remember what. Was this something on the original CoH forums? It seems like it was some forums, but it makes me think of the ooooooold WoW boards so IDK. Google "UniqueDragon".

Sounds like a program that I could make fairly easily, hmm.......

Here's the primary reason why I could never play redside.

this what happened in the last game i played runners ruined it for everyone skeedattlin all ova and just anything to grief there no extened maintenance there trying to catch the Rommys and we dont pay for it so unless people don't let GM'S know of dum AI's in the game it we ruin it and there we not be a COH IT WELL BE GONE TO THE PRAETORIANS!!!!!!!

I, for one, would be proud to be called a Sloth, if it means "one who enjoys the whole, slow, journey from 1-50". Just call me Flash, Flash, Hundred Yard Dash!

More like this hairstyle Healix, like in my avatar, but with Holland's less douchy face attached to it:

I wasn't talking /tell, though everyone else seems to be.

Just don't use it. One of the best things HC did was make double xp opt-in via the P2W boosts rather than forcing it on everyone. +1

YES. I have Sudden Acceleration KB/KD proc slotted into RF right now. It's glorious for keeping the baddies next to me for Short Circuit pulses. If I was to start teaming? I'd immediately unslot it though. Yes, I realize that's backwards from they way "most people" would do things... but I think VERY tactically and always use my knockback CAREFULLY and strategically.

The endurance cost of Repulsion Field is really NOT that much, to be honest, it's pretty much on par with Force Bubble, and it's MUCH more tactical, since the "tohit bubble" is INFINITELY smaller. Add to that the fact that when enemies are either knocked down or knocked back, they are NOT firing on you.... which doesn't happen with Force Bubble, they still can use their ranged attacks while they're being pushed away. Now, that being said, on my personal journey playing FF 100% SOLO from 1-50 (NO teaming whatsoever), I've actually found it much more useful to have Force Bubble most of the time, and keep all minions at distance, so I pretty much have it always on now, and deal with the bosses in a more expedient manner. But then again, I ALSO usually have BOTH Force Bubble AND Repulsion Field on when facing Elite Bosses/AVs, because the KB/KD hits appear to "stack" and push past their resistance more often than not. So, of course I'd be a proponent of both, just to have both. But hey, it's your build.

Well, since the in-game cap is 2 billion influence (unless you cheat by posting bids for non-existent items on the marketplace or e-mailing yourself influence), I'd say... 2 billion? Honestly, after your first 200 million, anything more doesn't do much for you, I've found personally.

Nothing wrong with people exploring different playstyles. Search for "Turtle Man" on these forums for a fun idea. +1 Inf.

No Repulsion Field??? Do you just keep Force Bubble on at all times, or what?
