  1. One is correct. You get one token per month of VIP time. The VIP starter kit doesn't count as a retail code, so you don't get a second token.

    This is my problem with NCsoft's supposed "web team".

    Apparently they are in Seattle. I personally know SEVERAL incredibly knowledgeable people who are currently looking for jobs in the area. Hint.
  3. The only thing I can think of is to edit the database to change one of the temporary powers in the Temp Powers window to add recharge.

    The fact that so much stuff is coming out so quickly means you guys are severely lacking in the quality control department. Either slow down or bulk up your bugfinder group. Because there's some serious crap that's coming down the line, and most of it you're expecting us to pay for.

    I also don't like that no one in support has any idea what's going on with VIP rewards, and so copy-pastes a bunch of stuff that's old and wrong -- if they even bother to reply at all. It's pathetic that something so easy should be so screwed up. The only reward that's functioning properly is the server transfer token granted each first of the month. Why complicate things when you could tie the other two rewards to that functioning script? If the person is subscribed on the first, grant them three rewards, a) transfer, b) points, c) token. If the person is not subscribed on the first, grant them nothing. VIP rewards is not rocket science.

    I also detest most of the prices in the paragon market. I've bought very, very little there precisely because everything is so overly expensive. It's ridiculous. $20 for 10 extra enhancement slots? Give me a break. That's half the cost of a new game!

    What can we do to add even more value to our VIP subscription?
    Obviously, include more for free in our subscription...either by increasing the stipend or by reducing points prices or by just giving VIPs free access to more stuff (that we would still have to pay for if we dropped sub).

    Titan Weapons

    They do. Making a miniature character means you get miniature titan weapons, and they're not very titanic.
  6. I think they said either at the Pummit or on one of the UStreams that the next slot, or next couple slots, won't include new currencies. I wish I could find the statement. Search fail.

    In 14 months:
    • If you don't change the billing again, after the renewal, you'll be billed another $143 (or whatever) for another 12 months.
    • If you DO change the billing back to month to month, you'll be billed the $15/month again.
    The holiday deal doesn't actually change your subscription plan. It's a purchase completely separate from your subscription plan. It's like adding a month through a retail code.

    You'd be wrong.
  9. Yes, it is. If a freebie or preemie logs in, they can get into the character list and all of the slots are labeled something like "unlockable for VIP".

    This is the same for Beta (there's two servers for Beta...the Beta VIP server is inaccessible to the public, non-devs cannot log on)
  10. If the answer to 1 is no, the answer to 2 is "of course not".

    Incarnate merits are salvage items.

    Wiki says 30 minutes in-game time, not two hours.

    Trying to do it with shard-level components is the "Hope you have a few years to spare" way around.

    If you're lucky, you'll rack up maybe 10-20 shards a day.
    You can convert that into 10-15 threads.
    And once a week you can pick up a Notice on the WTF.

    To T4 everything out will take something on the order of 1400 threads and several hundred million inf.

    Good luck.
    Or you can do task forces, which severely reduces that number. http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Incarnate_Components
  15. I haven't heard of anyone getting their yearly badges since the changeover. So much is broken right now with the subscription rewards.
  16. My main, an emp/archery/power defender, could get by with two powers, if she could somehow perma them both:

    Rain of Arrows (RAIN OF PWNIES!!!!!)
    Explosive Arrow

    I could run around exploding things and raining death from above for easily days on end, cackling gleefully the entire time.

    Oh, and Rest because those two powers are pretty end-expensive.
  17. Keep in mind that you have to get actually to the City login window in order to launch the second instance. Just having the loading banner up won't be enough. Trying to load two instances always fails for me if I am too trigger-happy.
  18. Looks like your graphics card/chip is trying to poop. Post up a CoH Helper log, please:

    Proof of perqs?

    VIPs don't get a list of the unlocks in the popups, since they are granted all of those unlocks for free by being a VIP.

    Open a free or premium account to see all of the things Paragon Rewards actually unlocks from within the game.

    I think it's kind of stupid for them not to show on the VIP popups, since those things are still unlocked by being Tier X, regardless that you're currently subscribed (they should not assume that you will never unsubscribe).

    Most of which end with "...and the Seattle web team doesn't want to maintain it."

    Even if you did this, there is actually enough supply for everyone's bids to fill and MORE THAN enough demand for everyone's sales to sell. It'll take a little longer, but Coyote's would deplete first, then Mike's, then mine... meanwhile, sales will also take a little longer, but they'll eventually all sell. Luck Charms move fast.
  22. Correct. And a purple damage boosted five times increases over 13%. Kind of mind-boggling.
  23. If you have your posts-per-page set higher than 100, long threads will error out because our forum software sucks. Drop your PPP to 100 or less.
  24. Your server transfer was credited on November 1 (and October 1 and one with/soon after Head Start). You'll get another one on December 1.

    Points is anyone's guess at this point. Throw something at a dartboard and you might get close to the target.
  25. There is nothing against the EULA to setting up multiple free accounts, and IIRC during the announcement phase of Freedom one of the rednames suggested just that if you feel restricted. Just keep in mind that purchases are account specific so you'd have to purchase something for every account if you want all of them to have it.
