Risk vs Reward

nuff said.

Forgot to mention the "Volcanic Aura" that made its way into the Featured category

Just looked at the Paragon Picks > Featured section and there is a "Volcanic aura" listed at 80 points. There is no specific icon and the description is: "The Volcanic aura causes flame, smoke and bits of molten lava to burst sporadically from your character. Once purchased, this is available for all characters on your account. NOTE: THIS IS A ONE-TIME PURCHASE."

Is this a brandy-new aura or is it one from a pack that I just can't remember?

Shiver me timbers! It be Talk like a Pirate day! Yarrr!

I've been trying to run some Flashbacks via Ouro and the majority of missions don't seem to have the click-"target" set correctly. I've had to open all categories then slowly scroll up or down to find the "sweet spot" so that I can begin the missions.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

Solution:

Destroyed Galaxy given the designation "Tutorial Start Zone." Then while you level from 1-19, you complete the tutorial.

They replaced the tutorial and gave us 20 levels to get through. And it's not like they're hard to get through. You learn the system.

You complain that "in the old tutorial it was cut and dry, I can get through it, learn what "I" need to and bam, on my way into Atlas" (paraphrasing) But, you miss the point... 20 LEVELS you gain through the new tutorial. And it's not any longer than the original 20 levels. In fact, I believe you gain the 20 levels much faster now.

So it's not like you're wasting time doing the tutorial. You're doing something, learning and leveling as fast as ever.

Here's a gift horse. What are you going to do with it?

I don't see many people transferring level 5 alts in.

I had always assumed that everyone knew that to get a free rename you make an alt on the destination server with the same name, then transfer the alt in for the free rename token.

Also chiming in. What the posters above posted is correct. Also, getting to know who the heroes/villains are isn't part of the tutorial. You're not supposed to find out about them because they are not the focus of the tutorial. You are.

In the old tutorial, you did things as they came. Or you didn't. You could waste time killing baddies for a badge THEN you moved on. Well, the new tutorial is supposed to be fast paced. The world is being destroyed. You have to quickly decide on on what role you are going to play. Save the day and be a hero or jump in and reap the rewards of the shivans misdeeds?

Once you decide, THEN the tutorial starts.

The tutorial isn't meant, now, to be a wham-bam and them start the story of Paragon. The new tutorial lasts from 1-20'ish. You're taken from level to level learning the intricacies of the game rather than read a pop-up you click "OK" to exit. You're shown what to do in a situation. You're shown how the UI works. You're shown all of the things that might have taken you 2 months to figure out on your own. And during that time, you're leveling up and learning the new story of Paragon/Mercy and Galaxy.

I think this is much better than a quick intro and send you out on your own.

And, if you dont like all that, skip it! Once you're in Atlas/Mercy, you can run around, level up with or without the new story arcs, then continue on your merry way.

CoH Freedom really has the best of both worlds now.

Exalted is still new and unlike the 7 year old servers, there are still "OMG PLNTY" of names not taken. Yet people are running around on alts with a period or apostrophe at the end of their name?

I mean, we didn't start seeing that till about 4 years into the game. Now brand new alts, on a brand new server, are doing it? Am I missing something or is "." and " ' " the newest trend to hit MMO's?

I don't believe the idea of the thread should be "Hey, I snagged these names and I might be willing to make a deal and here are some names that I'm NOT willing to trade."

The idea was that if you found a name that was available and you didn't claim it for yourself, or that you had a name and are willing to give/trade it away, that you would post here.

See the Virtue Name Watch Thread for reference. It's grown to just about 13,000 posts of people sharing names. Not too bad for an RP server.

There are a few other name threads for bragging rights

Forum name color seems, at least to me, back to white.

Went to change my avatar and it wont accept any new avatars regardless of the format. >: (

*Edit*
Ok, that was weird. The Avatar didn't save on the Edit Avatar screen. Went and edited my profile and the avatar appeared

lol, it basically is a rick roll. As a goof, I applied and made up all kinds of stuff and submitted it. A day later I received an email saying that I was over qualified. Then at the very bottom of the email was something like:
