Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[CoX] In Bizarro World, Defenders Get Buffs

Only one hyphenated word for proof that WP > lol/Stone on a brute:
Trac-tor
does someone offer an alternate primary? WP is my secondary, fo sho
All the primaries are generally viable and fun enough, but SS shines above them all in terms of power. Perma-Rage (via invention sets) is really hard to beat, and all that knockdown in the set does wonders for defense.

War Mace/WP sounds pretty appealing.
They updated the Going Rogue website with information on Marauder (evil BABs) and The Syndicate. If yer interested
The LotG proc is going for 250 million redside. And it's been noted that every. Single. Pvp IO is going for 1-2 billion inf. 2 billion is actually the cap. If you go to the forums and dig around for a minute or two, it looks like people have started trading them off the market so that more than 2 billion inf can be paid.
Some people have said you can do it easier in the arena but :shrugs: no clue. I got a PvP IO once, I think it was worth 50k.
Dump all this on top of an already borked-to-hell market and well then.
EDIT: Ok so more digging it looks like the rate is either 1:2000 or 1:70. Depending. And the devs won't say for sure either way. So enjoy that also.
EDIT EDIT: Ahaha this is such a mess. So it is actual levels, so no running into RV on a 50 and slaughtering 40s who show up to play, which skews things, and just like normal IOs if you're on a team then the drop would of course go only to one of you. So with an 8 man team, you have a 1-in-8 chance of getting the PvP IO if it does happen to drop.
So, between the PvP rep timer, the level requirements, and the "teaming" thing, it really doesn't matter what the technical rate for the drops is, you have roughly a 1:2000 chance of actually getting a PvP IO from "normal" pvp gameplay. If we did all lose a really terrible bet and did start trying to farm them, then we would obviously control the variables quite a bit better so that rate would rise substantially.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Goddammit it is not "actual levels," that only applies to the arena, it is "current combat level" this is so stupid. This is the stupidest.
Jus' saying.
I've actually never tried the arena

PvP IOs can only be gotten from PvP. You can't get them with merits.
I was really impressed by the hero arc, though. If that's the kind of thing going rogue has in store, I won't regret my pre-purchase.

I know, but the original convo was about expensive invention enhancements.
The new arcs are something that are best done as the lead in so you can read everything and get the conversation options. From what I've heard of the hero arc it's got nothing on the red one. I screamed in rage and wanted to cry at the end of the red arc. I hope that skag is dead because there's no way any of my villains wouldn't have made damn sure of it.
Yes, granted it was Mercs/Traps.
I'm there!
I stopped feeling bad about duping these marks like....months ago. I legit feel like I'm pouring olive oil into a red bottle and calling it like..."Rikti Blood" or some shit. If someone buys it for...100 million? oh well.
