I completed both badge requirements as a rogue without needing to change again.

I found a way to keep track of progress: every delivery you make, you get either an arrow of jealousy or an arrow of romance, five charges each time. Just keep track of how many charges you have. When you get to 35 of one or the other you should have a badge. After that, work on the other.

A badge and market tracker that could be consulted offline would be a Christmas miracle!

Makes sense. Thanks!

True. But unless you are planning on doing lots of crafting, I think you'd get enough just playing and vendoring. Maybe not, though.

Question: Why sell anything if you can't buy anything? By that I mean, what do you need influence for? I saw a snippet that you might (or did) convert cash to merits but wouldn't that violate the no-buying rule? This isn't a criticism. You play as you want and set whatever rules you want. I'm just trying to understand what your rules are.

Off the top of my head, Frosty Bite adds a cold damage proc to attacks, and Aegis provides Fire/Cold defense and resist.

I averaged 1.26 WIOs/pack on my first 50 packs. I was surprised at how quickly the prices of individual WIOs went down, but I think that's good news. To me it means that a lot of people had the same idea and a lot of other people got cheap(er) things to polish off their builds. Win-win. I'm not sure if the prices will go up as fast as they came down. My expectations is that the price will go up slower, but then again I was surprised at the speed going down. Soooo . . . Oh, and just about every character I make has between 2 to 5 sets of WIOs. They give crazy good enhancement value, some really good bonuses, and then both go over the roof once you make them Superior. I'm just banking all these WIOs for now. And leaving them in character e-mail makes it easy for a new level 10 to grab a set while waiting on the next DFB or Positron TF to start.

*Takes the pennies . . . runs!*

If influence is removed now, there will be a revolution. And I will happily handout torches, pitchforks, and AKs.

Fleas ruin everything!

While things like the picture above frequently are display glitches, I think that this is a different kind of glitch. I don't want to publish my theory for fear that it will become the norm, but if Jimmy or some other power-that-be wants me to share my theory, I'd be happy to.

Something no one has touched on yet is a frequent and recurring problem with the market interface. When a player first looks up an item the numbers in the info box that lists the last five sales, the number of the item for sale, and the number of open bids is sometimes blank or is showing incorrect numbers, perhaps from a different item. If you double click on that box the numbers will frequently populate. If you place a bid on the item and then click on the item in your "Bidding" tab it will always refresh and populate. While I can understand your frustration at not being able to buy what you want when you want it, the problem may rest with the interface and not with player supply and demand. Even if it is a problem of supply and demand I would not want seeded items. That just creates an artificial price set by the devs and that price may become the floor price for some items, the ceiling price for others, and perhaps the de facto price for some things. For example, think about what would happen to the price of some highly desirable recipes like LotG +recharge as well as "throwaway" recipes like anything from the snipe set Exploit Weakness if the market was seeded at 1 million . . . or how about 10 million.

I know this much is . . . . TROOOOO-OOO

Hi Sister London!

I wish we could live in a world where bugs were no longer hunted. Humans are savages!

If you play with time Than you have to mind There's no healing alphas . . . whoops! Pain is all he'll find

You can be upset about whatever you want.

So you got banned from one of several servers but still get to play on the others, including the one you like best . . . *shrug*

I've always played with the "bad word" filter on, from the time I discovered it on live until now. I get enough of that in real life and prefer not to see it while I'm trying to unwind. So I'm sure Cox/g is not for Flea.

Fair enough. But I honestly lost track of what your point was. I saw your video and some of the Reddit and Discord comments about it. I'm glad you found a home you are happy with.

I've lost track of what point you are trying to make, Sylar. Is it that CoX/g isn't that bad? Is it that HC is bad? Or something else?

Ummm . . . maybe that was my fault. When BAF was first on the test server, I was one of a few dozen folks invited to test it. This was before anyone had any I-powers, other than perhaps a low tier alpha. My first strategy was to fight the spawns on the roof of the small building in front of the tennis courts. The AVs could barely make it up but all their other robot friends could not. Next patch everyone got a boost to their jump!

Part of the problem is part of the beauty of this game . . . the city itself. There are so many zones on the blue side, and then add on the red side, and the gold side, and you've just dispersed the population into just shy of sixty different zones. And then it seems like most players are either in Atlas Park or Peregrine Island, but that's just the Alpha and Omega -- the beginning and the end. God knows I'm not suggesting it, because I've grown attached to all the zones and their little quirks and bits of personality, but if we had less zones the city would seem more alive.
