While I agree with this in theory, the broker on my server is packed to the brim with items. I dropped all my stuff to 1s, and it's mostly blue/green gear over level 10, and it doesn't sell. Basically if it isnt a high end blue or decent yellow, it's very hard to sell things. Maybe the farmers flood the market? Not too sure.

Because there is no time limit.

Your Fubared zerg SS is a better indicator of why they picked unibody. None of those characters look the same. Thats been my experience so far as well.

I think the graphics in the game are beautiful. This is just a random "oh ok" screen shot with no prep or anything on balanced mode. ( I could push my rig more but then fps drops, so i'm fine with balanced until code optimization goes in, get on that)

17+ are you kidding me? As a ranger there was no way I could take on the lvl 20/21 3 dots solo until I was 21/22. Group 17's? Maybe for the beginning stuff if you know your shit.

Speaking of Skawlra Rock though, there's a few issues there:

1) The area around rope bridge on the southern side of the mountain is causing a tonne of hitching issues for me and some of my guildies, I'm guessing it's only seen on lower end systems. Going from 20fps to 3 fps to 20fps to 3fps every second, it's happened on 2 nights and relogs/reboots don't fix it. Walking out of that area fixes it.
2) CoH in that area, especially on the rope bridge, causes a fall through the bridge and a bit into the mountain/water, happened to several of us last night.
3) Some of the medium armour quest rewards aren't right. Light/heavy armour gives 9 of an attribute and 46hp, medium fighter armour gives 9 of an attribute and 1 hp.

Other than that it's a pretty good area, lots to do with a bit of challenge in the crater and everyone's happy with the quest rewards (apart from the bugged items). No general vendor there to repair gear plus no way to repair gear at Upside is a real pita though, travelling through the water in chunks caused a couple of deaths.

Speaking of Upside :P, the soul...investigator guy there is bugged we think, we got "a malevolant soul fragment" nearby that gives a quest to give to someone who knows about that sort of thing and we're guessing it's him but there's no response. The lizard dungeon to the north has a tonne of pathing issues too, even just at the first hole in the entrance. We've had mobs warping off and bringing back 9 others and mobs falling through the first hole at the entrance into the wall of the hole and been impossible to kill. That patch message about fixing warping didn't mean squat, it still happens all the time, we still get mobs vanishing when right in front of us. They're still there and we're unable to use chains etc on them but can auto attack them. The person with aggro moving back to make them move seems to correct the issue.

He is ? Why do we care about getting more vendor food? Does it really matter when you kill a mob if you get 20cp, or a green worth 20cp to a vendor that you'll sell (since its worthless on the broker), or a trash loot worth 20cp?

Personally I'd rather just take the coins, since it's less bag space.

Yeah but there is an item limit. I end up taking stuff off and vendering it since I need to sell more things.

Because I want to make enough money to cover my repair bills?
Because I would like to buy new Dip, crafting, and adv gear?
Because I would like to buy a house plot before the one I want is bought?
Because I would like to buy a new horse when i hit 20?
Because I would like to buy better bags?
Because I would like to buy better upgrades for my horse?

Was that even a serious question?

I guess nobody read my actual post or did and felt the 'lol zerg' line was worth repeating... 3 times. My group was actually helping that group with their adds because they weren't sharing the spawn (so we were trying to hurry up and get to our turn). Our strategy was simply mez adds, kill captain, loot, evac/run out with our levels it's really the best thing we had to do. They actually wiped on their turn once too. Nobody in that SS outside of my group is talisman.

Really? I mean the environments have always looked nice, but it looks like your character escaped from City of Heroes to come play VG

I actually helped a group the other day do it as well. ITs not a big deal though. He gets zerged down alot. We did 1 group it lastnight though Had other guildies needing the cloak.

Yeah, for some reason on our server yesterday there was like 50 people in the mine area alone with lists and everything; it was nuts.

Dude... You need to read the post I replied to. He was talkin about vendor trash. Vendor trash = money you get from selling vendor items.

My point is (and was), does it matter if you loot a trash item off a corpse worth 20copper, or simply get 20 copper in coins?
