Back On Mac & My Market Prediction Coming True
Hi! I'm back playing thanks to the recently released Mac client for City of Heroes. It's a not a gaming machine, but after setting the graphics down the game plays well enough for soloing. It'd be nice to see a Linux client for CoX as well.
Remember when I predicted the price of Miracle +Recovery recipes was going to go up? Level 20 Miracle Uniques at the time were averaging 65 million or so. I got back in game recently and checked on the price: even with the Merit duping scandal creating a downward price pressure, the price of the Level 20 Miracle Unique has gone up to about 90 million. I'll bet it hasn't hit the demand cap yet, either.
What's causing this? Getting rid of random rolls, in my opinion. People are choosing to save up for the Miracle Uniques with Merits and using it rather than selling it. That's my theory, anyway.
The solution? Give Merits in addition to random rolls at the end of Task Forces. This will increase supply and drive prices down, making it easier to equip many alts. Will the devs do this? I'll guess no, but anything is possible.
