    I have a grav/storm in range, depends on the timing.



    Edit: I would like it if people had specific examples to point to, because otherwise it seems it's all going on when I'm not around, or people are just blowing things out of proportion. I mean, I take for granted that s3rial will complain about anything, but if this is a bigger issue it seems I should know about it.
    No need to be like that, Scoot. Just because we don't agree about CoH very often doesn't mean I'm complaining about everything.

    As for specific examples, truth be told, I'm just not interested in putting in the effort. The core problem is that we've got a whole mess of new people at once (which isn't really a problem, per se), and several of them feel that PA chat is there for no other reason than typing out every single thing that crosses their mind.

    It's not so much that any one person has been bad, it's that we've got a few who are just relentlessly chatty, even if they have to have conversations with themselves.

    Ya know, the more I type, the more I realize that I just can't one-up Grove's post. He said it best.

    I know things that sold for 5000 to the vendor... will only fetch about 500-600 on the Auction place.

    Okey... but would the thing I can possibly make out of the rare salvage thing be good?
    Actually sounds like I could probably use the Inf from selling the stuff to buy better Training Enchs.

    I know some random person gave my first character some sort of recipe, which I promptly sold for 7000 Inf. Helped me buy a bunch of lvl10 Training Enchs I wanted.

    I think I actually saw a list of recipe things on that paragon wiki site. Which at least tells me what the salvage makes.

    As a general rule, I really wouldn't worry about crafting IO enhancements until you are at least around level twenty unless you are sitting on tons of influence. Even then, I would suggest waiting until you can use level 30-35 IOs, because 1) they are the same bonus as a good SO, and 2)The salvage used to make them goes for much cheaper on the CH/BM.

    Up until then pretty much all of the salvage and recipes you get can be sold on auction and will go a long way in funding a developing hero or villain. There some rare salvage pieces you may wish to hold onto if you get them however. These include Pangean Soil, Hamidon Goo, Soul Trapped Gems, Mu Vestments and some others. These salvage pieces usually go for at least 1-2 million influence (for the cheapest, Soil goes for 3-5 million) so if you plan on getting into IO sets later on in the game you may be better off holding onto them if you happen to get some, since any money made selling will just be lost when you have to buy another Hamidon Goo or whatever.

    Most often it isn't necessary to plan ahead when making IO enhancements. I usually purchase a recipe from an auction, see what I need to make it, and then pick up the salvage from the auction house at the same time.

    EDIT: It's also worth noting that you can earn badges by selling items on the auction houses. These badges can reward you with extra spaces on your auction menu and (I believe, but I may be wrong here) extra room in your invention salvage inventory. There's no real good reason to sell to vendors just to make more influence. As a character gets into the higher levels, you start to deal with tens of thousands of influence, and eventually millions of influence. Selling a piece of salvage for 500 influence or 5,000 influence doesn't make much difference.

    And my comment on the chat issue: You can be a dick in PA Chat, but by god, you'd better be an entertaining dick and not an annonying one. Spamming chat is the latter, not the former.

    Also, if someone is really being a douchebag and there's chat ops on, we can always give them a time out with ye olde silence button. But we're pretty much a discipline free group.

    The new subscription data from NCSoft's report to stockholders for CoX is out:

    cohsubsaugust2007.jpg


    It looks like I9 has increased the total subscribers a little, but not hugely. The monthly access boost is huge though, considering the previous number, from March was one of the lowest monthly access numbers the game had had. Which leads to all sorts of "zomg, merge teh servarssss!" crap on the official forums.

    I still think this game could have had solid 200K+ numbers if the developers hadn't completely squandered the momentum from CoV's launch (October 31 2005 for those looking at the chart). Taking six months from CoV Launch for I7 to hit, and then another six months for I8 to hit was a huge blunder. Fortunately, the developers seem to have learned, the hard way, that smaller, more frequent Issue updates are better than big huge issues that take forever to come out.

    Do most of you play heroes or villains? I've read that CoV is a heck of a lot more graphic intensive and/or laggy than CoH therefore more people play heroes?

    More people play heroes also because they have more, higher level hero dudes because CoH came out first.

    However, CoV is a graphically more intense environment, that is true.

    Me, I tend to play heroes over villains, although lately with HARM I've been playing a villain more.

    I tend to play Heroes mostly, because I prefer the hero environments and stories. As well, hero zones tend to be smaller and less cluttered, which is easier on older systems like mine. If your system is not so hot, CoV may require you to lower more graphic settings then CoH. CoV has less zones then CoH, but those zones are much larger and more densley populated with items, creatures and polygons.
