    Oh, and a hearty "IN BEFORE 'ONLY TAKES JAY A DAY OR TWO TO MAKE A NEW TAIL." Should've kept that part mum.

    Which is kind of sad, considering how the pack matched up to people's requests. Mind you, the costumes it contains are pretty sweet--they're just not what people asked for. This isn't the core game you're talking about, this is a paid perk you want to SELL to people. And it has been consistently advertised as being the answer to all the animal costume requests.

    It should have been what people asked for, and were told, that they were getting...or people should have been told otherwise. The reason why there was the disconnect wasn't entirely because of the content, it was because of what they were told what the content be in advance, when it wasn't.

    I don't care about this stuff, so I don't even have a dog in this fight...I'm just saying from the point of view of someone who doesn't care about the dog tail either way.
  3. Hey, look at that.


    Paging...um...everyone who has ever requested a wolf/fox/dog tail!

    Nothing quite makes a villain feel powerful to me, like dropping out of the sky into a parking ramp and reducing every car to a smoking wreck just by landing.
  5. If you outlevel a contact, it should introduce you to the next one in line. Your contacts should continue to do this, until you reach the ones that are appropriate to your level.

    Bar that, your characters can get a newspaper (for villains, from a broker) or a radio (for heroes, from a detective) that will give you random, quick, and basic missions. Complete three to five of them and you'll be presented with a special mission (mayhem for villains, safeguard for heroes). Complete that and the broker/detective that gave you the mission will let you pick the contact you want.

    How does the system handle outleveling contacts through the Architect system? Do I have to start wherever I left off and work through a bunch of "I have nothing for your security level" and getting new contacts?

    The architect determines your level based on the mission. You'll scale to the appropriate level automatically, and will never outlevel anything in the architect. The wiki can be found here, this first link directs you to an overview of the invention system.

    Absolutely possible. There is probably enough content that you could do it on several characters, and never see the same thing twice. Any cautions? Avoid the junk, enjoy the good--easy to say, hard to do.

    When do I need to start getting Invention Enhancements as opposed to single-origin? Does it matter?
    After level ten, you'll have the opportunity to run a tutorial in Steel Canyon. Salvage and recipes start dropping around level five-ish, though I'm sure I'm off by a bit. The wiki can help you.

    Are there any RP hotspots on Virtue, like the old Park gatherings in Atlas (Skyway, maybe? I don't remember.) where the irish chick used to perch on the rock and then made everyone cry by perma-dying? I hear Pocket D is maybe bleagh nowadays?
    Pocket D is a hotspot, otherwise you'll have to find or make your own. There's still the same amount of RP around, if not more--the good stuff is just hiding from the bad stuff. Gemini Park is dead, even though Ireland Love came back to life.

    How is the health of the consignment place nowadays? Inflated or reasonable for a new/non-influence-stockpiled character?
    The villain markets suck, but overall both have the chance to make any low-level or casual characters billionaires by just buying/selling wisely. Purple enhancements went through a price correction (by the players) and are now five to ten times what they used to cost (heroside) and lol-expensive villainside. Hope this helps, welcome back.

  9. Seeing as how Marcian is actually at E3, I'm sure he (or other player-attendees) would have let us know if anything was happening. I rather took it from the lack of information that there was a minimal, if any, NCSoft presence there (let alone Paragon Studios).

    As for the Devs, watch their post counts. If their post count goes up, and you can't find where they are posting...

    I think it's safe to say that Marcus killed Stefan before Stefan drank from the well. Because killing the incarnation of a god is probably more difficult than just snuffing some dude.

    Don't confuse the patch with the Booster Set.

  14. My money is on the wishy-washy-unlocked Alpha or Omega idea. Though I don't know why the OP wouldn't just show what pieces they selected and, of course...take a picture that isn't black on black.

    Why?

    Now I'm certain we aren't playing the same game.

    Link since the new site is confusing.

    Edit: Oh thrills, you now need to register to get them. Well that made them 1000% less useful.
    I would PM Beef Cake, this is probably an oversight from the new website redesign.

    Bummer. That makes it difficult to get the gold badge.

    I've been working on the Refrained badge, which is No Travel Powers.

    I'm actually working on a multi-mish arc right now on a hunch.
    And therein lies the challenge. No one-off missions work, only the story arcs will do. There are guides that suggest which arcs are easier to run for which badges.

    For example, maybe the VEATs could get a version of the PPD Radio where they're "assigned" to handle specific situations in their official capacity as an Arachnos Soldier.

    The Kheldians could get missions specific to their origin: tracking down supplies of quantum rifles, putting down rogue Kheldians, that sort of thing.
    VEATs are not excluded from the Newspaper.

    HEATs, by far, have their own unique and over-arching epic storyline that no other ATs get to experience.

    Unless you give us details, it is very unlikely that we will be able to help you solve your problem. First, what are you running from--the updater? A bypass? What, exactly, is the error message you see?

    WUT?


    Seriously...are you...for real?
  22. Unless Mr. N can outright say, "The next pack is Super Booster VI: Beasts and Animals," I'm not sure his presence here will do much to allay concerns. (Outside of the missing tails.)
