  1. The "doohicky" being the account server/database and the "whatchamacallit" being the market server/database.

    I could be wrong about all that. Just trying to let the OP know what they might or might not get.
    You are correct. GR gave 2 character slots before Freedom (Issue 21). It no longer does. They announced this change before Freedom went live, most likely to allow people time to get and apply GR to their accounts that they wanted extra slots on.

    This is correct. Since CoH first launched in 2004 you could never use two codes of the same game type/version.

    Jeez, I have no idea how you people read the forums at such tiny page lengths. 100 ppp (posts per page!), thanks very much! Can't imagine clicking around that darn much. Haven't even hit page 2 yet, boy howdy.

    I would be pretty sure that they would realize you'd have excess tokens at the same time as creating the tree, and thus the consumables were not an afterthought or reaction, but an actual design step.

    Please note that global name changes are like freespecs: if you don't use it before they give another one out, you lost it.

    Edit: or did they change that to a lower level? either way if you had a max level toon, then they're unlocked.
    Epics require purchase on a premium account even if you have applicable level characters. Freedom changed that.

    Is like they are kidding or just ignoring the feedback.
    Regarding sashes...

    At PAX 2011's costume panel (PAX, not PAX east), I was the first one in line for Q&A/suggestions, and asked for sashes. There was some chuckling from everyone (including in the audience), which may or may not have been because of my enthusiastic IMMEDIATE jump up and scuttle to the microphone, but I think it was also because they were expecting it. (There were some of "those" glances going between the devs. Like "uh huh, who had "first suggestion" in the betting pool?" kind of looks. lol)





    (yes, I did scuttle. it was darn near Zoidberg woob woob woob scuttling.)

    Ah, okay. If that is what the OP means (I honestly have NO IDEA), then yes.

    Stage 1 allows character creator play. Stage 1 must complete in order to enter the tutorial.

    Stage 2 allows tutorial play. Stage 2 must complete in order to leave the tutorial or skip it.

    Stage 3 allows Atlas Park/Mercy Island play (including instanced missions). Stage 3 must complete in order to go anywhere else in the game.

    Stage 4 allows access to the rest of the game. From what I've seen, Stage 4 is always very fast for some reason. I'm wondering if it's all the level restricted content which a new player wouldn't need access to.

    Word.





    I put a lot of time, effort, and love into my TOONS. I never assume whether or not you put any time, effort, and love into your toons. Why do you care what I call them? It's not like it changes how much time, effort, and love you've put into them. I've got bigger fish to fry than your feelings on a term used in a pretendy fun time game.

    I also call them chars and characters, but I never call them avatars. For some reason, "avatar" sounds pretentious. lol

    This made me lol. Expecting better UI design out of the recent UI changes might be expecting more than they can deliver. Almost every new or "updated" (cough cough) UI in the last few years has been atrocious, from both a usability standpoint and from an aesthetics standpoint.

    The only thing I was actually impressed with was the Incarnate UI, which while *still* not being a GREAT UI, was certainly a *LOT* better than I was expecting them to put out.

    Can you reword this with some different words? I can't make heads or tails of that part of the sentence.
  15. Yes. Aggelakis is my main character in any game I play. Sometimes she mutates (by reroll or creating multiple versions) but she's always my main.
  16. Balsafer is a premium player, so I was answering his premium player question.
  17. To have MMs unlocked, you need 13 reward tokens. If you don't have 13 reward tokens, you won't have MMs unlocked and need to either obtain more reward tokens (every 1200 paragon points you buy grants a reward token, or you can go VIP and subscribe until you have enough tokens from the monthly award) or purchase the account unlock on the Paragon Market.

    Epic ATs being unlocked without purchase is a rare bug.
  18. SI has two applications of defense - if you are not in combat, you get both; if you are in combat, you only get the first one. It's the same with Stealth from the Concealment pool, and a lot of other stealth or defense powers that talk about "suppress in combat".

    Need Help.

    They answered my F2P account's AAQ petition about a stuck mission.

    You can't submit a /petition ingame and get a response. (They'll tell you it's only for VIPs, which is hysterical because THEY TAKE TIME TO WRITE YOU instead of just turning off /petition for freebies/preemies.) You can submit an AAQ and get a response, which is what I did.
  20. If you use a global slot token, it turns into a server slot token. Server slot tokens can only be used on that server, they cannot be moved elsewhere. So you can unlock however many characters (or empty slots) are on however many servers that you have server slot unlocks on, and then however many global slot tokens you have, that's how many characters (or empty slots) you can unlock anywhere you choose (except Exalted).
  21. Try logging out and back in to jog the database connection. Might simply be a miscommunication between the servers. Also, check in Account Management > Billing Summary. At the bottom is a history of points award dates. Should see two allotments there.

    Fixed for great justice. There are very few UI introductions in the last couple years that are well designed.

    I'm not sure whether you mean Dark Melee or Dark Armor, but Dark Miasma is a support set not a melee/armor set. :x
