    For every 1200pp you PURCHASE, you get one reward token. It has nothing to do with what you spend, and your 400 (550 for Tier9) VIP points don't count since you don't purchase them.

    What the heck does having extra pp have to do with your VIP rewards???? Either you didn't say what you meant, or I'm totally missing the point of that statement.

    Bioluminescence?

    In addition to ShadowMoka's comment: You must select a bright color for the secondary color option, and be in the dark. It's more glow-in-the-dark than glowy.

  5. That is a terrible secondary for blasters, but doesn't look bad for dominators.
  6. http://sgspaces.net/server_status/index.php

    servers list as all up on the (reliable, player-made) status page

    It's entirely possible that the public wifi has certain ports blocked, though i don't know anymore what the ports are since switching over to the launcher

    On the contrary, you can trade some of the stuff.

    LOL And I *didn't* get that one. Three copies of Paragon Press, late, and not a single one of the TW announcement.

    ParagonWiki was first a standalone service. Then ParagonWiki joined Wikia because the load was too stressful for TonyV's tiny host. Then Wikia went crazy and ParagonWiki joined the Titan Network.

    We keep both URLs around because people use both. (Also: for workers, it's often the case that one is blocked but the other is not.)
  11. A lot of purchased items/powers/things mysteriously disappear from your account. Quitting to desktop and restarting seems to fix this most of the time.

    I had this happen with Beam Rifle, two characters on two different servers had BR locked out but a character on a third server wasn't. lulz

    Emberly spoke my answer better than I was going to.

    Zwillinger said on one of the Ustreams that they hope to have it fixed before I22 closed beta, but didn't give a guarantee. Kind of typical of the PS web team, really.

    You just got done saying you are Tier 7. Assuming some of that comes from Pre-Freedom Veteran Rewards, if not most of it, then you have access to more than 2 character slots. Just FYI. Also, "X character slots ever" is wrong too - you can purchase slots.

    EDIT: If you're knocking $5 off our monthly fee for getting "free" points, then my monthly subscription costs me a bit over five bucks a month.

    Ouroboros Access

    http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Entrusted_with_the_Secret

    Quickest and easiest ways to get it: Ask someone to throw down an oportal and get the badge at the top of the gnommon (the spire thingy). {{OR}} wait two levels and get an exploration badge from Recluse's Victory (PVP zone 40-50).

    Yes. Yes. Yes.

    Choosing the titles for pretty colors is not its intended use. Shame on people doing that. Get to a high enough vet level and you can do that with regular titles.
  17. Not only did I get it late, I got three copies of it late.

    They are also spent for you if you have enough to fully fill a specific tier. For instance, it takes 20 tokens to fill Tier 6...if you have 21 tokens, all of Tiers 1-6 will be filled for you...the last one would be filled in in Tier 7 if you already had one of the old rewards under the Veteran Rewards system, or you would have the last one unused if you didn't have any under the Veteran Rewards.

    Paragon Rewards is a stepped process. You must fill Tier 2 to advance to Tier 3, and so on all the way up. You can't pick and choose ONLY what you want (lol, how many people would skip Greek letters?), but you can choose in what order a certain selection of rewards will come to you.

    There was a REASON old defiance got changed; it was ****. Terrible. It encouraged sucking.

    You're basically asking for a set that half-neuters a Blaster and...

    Yeah. Sorry, but no. The Balance on this just seems non-existent. And that's not even from a number point of view.
    Old Defiance was pretty darn awesome. I actually played my blasters then. Being able to flirt with death while KILLINATING things to death was amazingly fun, and seriously kept me on my toes.

    With Defiance 2.0, I don't even play my blasters anymore. I can do similar damage with my corruptors, and they get fun fiddly bits in their secondaries.

    I support a secondary that gives some of that crazy Old Defiance feel back, though whether it looks like the OP or not, does not matter to me.
  20. I really hate to belittle anyone, but a large number of the fanmade comics are really bad in one way or another...it's like AE, I don't want to wade through so much chaff to get to the good ones. So I don't even look anymore.

So apparently there's a bug in vBB that makes it specifically incompatible with City of Heroes. How astronomically unlucky for us.
    Why am I *so* not surprised to find this out? City is the redheaded stepchild of NCsoft.

    Vet question

    Yes, you get a character slot every year of vet time. At 48, you should have four free global slot tokens from four years.

    On the top left of your character select screen, there's a listing for global slot tokens and server slot tokens. If you have any global slot tokens available, they can be placed on any server that doesn't have the max number of slots used. If you have any server slot tokens available (these will only show up when you're on a server that has slots available; Justice server slots will not show when looking at Freedom's character list), they can be placed ON THAT SERVER ONLY up to the max number of slots used.

    If you have both, a server slot will be used before a global slot, IIRC, but it's been a while since I've done it so I can't remember 100% for sure.
  24. There's some way to force a program to always run in Admin mode, but I have no idea how to do that since I'm still on WinXP and the Win7 machine is being monopolized.
