This.
The dots before and after indicate more was said so go back and read the full post in context if you want but THIS
this is the main reason I haven't played the game in months. When I realized my efforts to make back
a small portion of the vast wealth I used to have on live were being actively thwarted
not by other players but by developer tools I was.... mad/sad/disheartened all of the above.
Don't get me wrong I still love it here and am thrilled to have the game available again.
I'm still doing all the stuff on the forums I did before (in the art section primarily) to try and grow the community.
Answering questions, helping people with costumes, hosting contests (cough see my sig cough cough),
giving away free art of peoples heroes, etc etc etc. but I haven't gotten past the costume
creator stage and made it into the actual game in a very long while.
If you had read farther down (linked below), you would have seen that GM Impervium said that it was on his regular account and no dev tools were used. I am fairly certain that other than seeding the market with set price salvage to keep the Luck Charm fiasco from happening again that the GM's are not using any dev tools to screw around with the market. Why am I certain? Because way too many of us make too much influence in the market for it to be fixed.
Making influence on Homecoming is absurdly easy. I made over 5 billion this month and I didn't spend more than ten minutes a day. If the dev's were jacking the market that wouldn't be possible. I know several folks in this forum make incredibly more than that in a week. I just dabble and I really don't try hard and it comes in hand over fist. There are tons of guides on how to do it. No need to start trying to raise up conspiracy theories that have no founding in truth just because a GM posted something funny that happens to all of us who play the market that gets taken out of context every time someone reads it without reading all of it.

Here is an older post that sounds similar. YMMV
-
Try /Netgraph 1 in game and see if it is all green and what kind of numbers you get there for latency. /Netgraph 0 will turn it back off.
Also updating your motherboard drivers probably wouldn't hurt along with moving to the new launcher.

I didn't read it that way at all. My initial reading, which I now think was wrong, was that they adjusted supply and demand by artificially using dev tools. On second look and after the OPs edit, it just looks like they thought that the HOs in question were too cheap, so they bought them all and put in a bunch of "fake" bids in order to try and fool people into believing there was actual demand. And then their bids got hit because there was no actual demand. Standard market manipulation, which we really can't stop, but I would have expected better from a GM. It's not like marketers have the best reputation to begin with, but a GM bragging about trying to trick people doesn't really help people trust the marketplace system.
Let me put it this way: I expect cops to run red lights while stopping/preventing crime, but I don't expect them to run red lights off duty to get to the donut shop faster.
You missed the sarcasm.
I didn't see it that way at all. GM's are players too after all. Heck, any one of us could be a GM and no one would ever know. Why should they be held to a different standard than we are? There are some pretty strict rules for GM's from what I understand from reading the post that was recently made asking for help. I really don't think this was done on a GM account even though it was posted on a GM account. Even if it were, trying to keep what happened on Live from happening here, IMHO is a good thing. I really don't want to spend a half million on a Luck Charm again.
The way I see it, a GM was telling something funny and it unfortunately ended up being misinterpreted. I hope this doesn't deter them from interacting with the player base. I rather enjoy it when they do.

Setting your monitor to a warmer color scheme helps a lot. I used to have eye strain every day even with blue block in my lenses. I set my monitors to a warmer tone and things improved quite a bit.

He said he was fixing the incorrect display price on all the items. I'm sure that is what I read.
I did something similar in WoW a long, long time ago. I was price fixing a commodity that someone was trying to force out all the players by undercutting. I had millions and millions of gold so I just bought up everything they put on sale. Worked great for a while. I forced them to move to greener pastures and enjoyed selling the thousands of items they had created at what was a normal price on the other servers, but still a significant markup to what I had bought them at. The bad part was I still had in hundreds of crazy lowball bids that I forgot to cancel. Some schmuck came in and did to me what I did to the other guy. I didn't mid too bad, I had more than tripled my initial stake so although I took a pounding, I still ended up way ahead.

Make sure all your drivers are up to date. Nvidia GeForece Now for graphics, Asus Armory Crate is the usual method for the laptop chipset, but be sure to also check your Windows Updates to see if you are missing anything there; Settings -> Updates & Security -> Check for Updates.

I've seen tat happen on a Task force back on Live. Quite frustrating, but as you discovered it seems to fix itself after some time.

AFK farming is using one of the maps that has roaming spawns such as Briggs Comic Con fire farm on the asteroid. Go stand in the middle of the map with burn on auto, Come back in about 5 minutes and switch to the next map.

I just did this and had no issues. I let all the dialogs complete before moving on though. Some of the talk scenes seem to be tied to things that happen later, so if there is a badge involved I always let them babble until the end.

I've never had an issue using it, but I defer to your knowledge. You do this a lot more than I do.

This is the cornbread recipe I grew up with so it's the standard by which I judge other cornbread. I have not made it in a while, but I've made it plenty of times and never been disappointed. It's got a little more texture to it, as opposed to what I consider cornbread-flavored cake, which I've run across a few times. In addition to making it in an 8 by 8 pan, I've also made it in a cast iron corncob baking mold that was my grandmother's (similar to this one) and it turns out great in those too.
3/4 cup corn meal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 egg, well beaten
2 Tbsp shortening, meltedMix and sift dry ingredients. Add milk, egg, and shortening. Bake in a shallow (8”x 8”) pan at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.
Only heathens put sugar in cornbread. 🙂 But this is the one I use as well without the sugar.

You can import from a chat log.
1. Get badges2500.txt from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~damerell/games/badges2500.txt
2. /bindloadfile "badges2500.txt"
3. Exit game
4. Click "Log Parser" On the Character screen.
5. Find your latest log file, C:\Games\Homecoming\accounts\"Your User Name"\logs is the default location with the new launcher
6. Click submit
Occasionally it will not import. The solution is to add one badge that you know you have for the character then do the Log Parser.

Malwarebytes has always reported it as malicious. It's not.

You can't use two attack powers in a macro. Only one will ever fire. What you can do is this:
blizzard-sleet1.txt
0 "powexec_location target Blizzard$$bindloadfile blizzard-sleet2.txt"
blizzard-sleet2.txt
0 "powexec_location target Sleet$$bindloadfile blizzard-sleet1.txt"
This makes it when you press "0" it fires off Blizzard and then loads a new power into the "0" location, Sleet. When pressed a second time it then fires Sleet and reloads the first file. It will toggle back and forth between the two files every time "0" is pressed.
Hope this helps.

There were two missions from Max that I had to do via Ouro to finish this badge. Took me a while to figure out what I was missing.

Very enjoyable read. I love it when folks post stuff like this. It has started making me think about how I approach my alts. Thanks Yomo for taking time to write this!
-
Yep, this was reported quite a while ago. Dual monitors break the gamma settings. Be nice if it was fixed so everything wouldn't be so dark that I can't see.

Tried that. Took the difficulty to -1/1 just by myself. Still died every time I tried it. Going to make getting the Patron arc badges difficult, which is where I am right at the moment.

That's all I can ask. Thanks!!!!

Running this mission through Ouro. Longbow killed the operatives before they could be rescued. Is this a bug @Piecemeal?
Edit: This definitely seems bugged or at least not tuned right. I can't get to the second Operative before Longbow kills them. Four times running at different difficulty and no success. Mission will not complete due to the second operative being killed before I can reach them.

Good luck! I'm moving tectonically slow on the master of badges. As long as collecting remains fun, I'll keep at it.
Me too. I'm up almost to 1400, but most of the rest are going to take teaming. Not a problem, just need to be able to stay awake past 9pm which is the new 2am for me.

Vandal/Anger Manager issue
in Badges
Posted
Pretty sure it is broke. I just did this a few weeks ago and had no progress either that I remember.
