Quote:See, and now people are just going to think that I'm "Dumple-ThatGuyWhoRandomlyHatesZwillinger-Berry." That's not true. And neither is it true that Zwillinger only just started playing. Also, even though I don't get to experience the UStreams, thank you for getting up so early to keep everyone company, Zwill.Originally Posted by MaestroMavius
Well, he has been playing since Beta.
City of Heroes: Freedom Beta that is. :P -
Quote:Gods yes, please. And don't let Noble Savage trot out that bizarre gender trope again, either. You guys invented widows and waistcapes. You made the decision to cut them off for the male widows (or widowers, as Zwill would prefer). You can give them back to us.Originally Posted by Fennec
Now that you know Zwill, how's about slapping Jay around until we get buttcapes for the male Widows? Thanks!
Sorry, Zwill. I just don't believe that you've been playing this game for as long as you say you have.Quote:Originally Posted by warden_de_dios
and then left when WoW came out? -
Quote:How can you say that, and not know that ATs are not gender baked? I mean, seriously? If you've been around since beta, I would think you would have a better feel for the community as well. What's with all the rookie mistakes?Originally Posted by Zwillinger
Thanks...been around since Beta.

Zwill, you're making it sound like you don't play this game at all. How am I supposed to defend you now?Quote:Originally Posted by Xanatos

Quote:Again, I'm not asking you to have a level 50 of every possible powerset combo on every possible AT, I'm just questioning why you would think ATs might be gender-gated. If you had said origin, I would have agreed.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
I do actually play quite a bit, just not VEATs and EATs. Nothing against them, and I know several folks in the studio enjoy playing them, I just have enough alts as it is (3 50's, countless characters in their 20's and 30's).
When I'm playing on my own, I'm pretty tunnel visioned, i.e.; I'm reading global chat and focusing on what's going on inside my mission, on the AH, or whatever it is I'm currently working on.
There could be a Praetorian Invasion happening around me and I wouldn't know.
And really--you've never teamed with any VEATs before? They're pretty awesome, you should try it some time. -
Quote:Pretty much the same, here, too. And I'm not being lazy, I guess I'm just not reading it like you are.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
Me too. I think I even had one open slot on tier 8.
My shake is, I had half of Tier Eight unplugged when Freedom went Live. I got 1750 points. I filled in Tier Eight, the three VIP Nine slots, and have a token left over. It just seems kind of random that I would get the bonus 150 at all. I'm glad I've got it, because whoo-hey more costumes...but still, I'm wondering why I got it at all. -
Quote:So what tier awards them, and why don't I have the option to purchase them anyways? I've bought and paid for lots of stuff in the store, and I can still hit "Buy" for that. What's the difference?Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
Because you already have 'em unlocked (I believe based on reward tier).
-
I've used that many, many times. But that, I would argue, disagrees with you entirely. It clearly says:
"City of Heroes Going Rogue which includes:- Four Power Sets (Dual Pistols, Demon Summoning, Kinetic Melee, Electric Control)
- The Going Rogue Alignment System
- Access to the world of Praetoria and all of its zones"
-
Quote:Thank you.Originally Posted by TerraDraconis
If you have the actual old Going Rogue expansion then you have Praetoria and the alignment system. But if you don't have the expansion purchased on your account and are going to buy it separate then they are different thing.
IE if you buy Going Rogue(Praetoria) in the Paragon Market you only gain access to that and can't switch sides. If you buy the Alignment system you don't have access to create and play Praetorian's.
So it's $15 for the Alignment System and $15 for access to Praetoria. And these never unlock as a Perk? -
Quote:And yet, I got 1750. And 1750 before I'd even fully slotted my tiers.Originally Posted by Ironblade
Because you couldn't actually be Tier 9 before the system existed. Tier status was calculated when the system went live.
-
Why can't I buy the new IDF costume pieces? They're in the store, but with no "Purchase" button, just "Wishlist." Why bother putting them in there if they're not available?
-
Quote:Really, I'm kind of not surprised. I'm not expecting Zwill to be the expert on everything, but I think knowing that ATs are not gender-locked would be a pretty obvious thing. Zwill, you have to play more.Originally Posted by Captain-Electric
I didn't know that either!
Thanks for the transcribing Von Krieger.
Hey, that rhymed. -
Quote:So then why don't I have 2200 points?Originally Posted by Kinrad
If you are a Tier 9 VIP, you get an additional 150 points per month.
-
My question is, how did folks end up with 1750 points? 400+400+400+550?

Since we don't have a forum, I'm going to make a catch all thread. If it's just me in here asking, that's fine--so long as I get some answers. The short of it is, I have a bunch of old ex-players I'm trying to turn Premium. Some of them are even willing to pony up some cash to trick out/update their Premium accounts.
First question: The Paragon Market lists Going Rogue (Praetoria) and the Alignment System as separate items. I told them that this was just a marketing thing--multiple labels for the same product. That outside of the First Ward content (which was available for separate purchase), buying Going Rogue was the same as buying the Alignment System was the same as buying Praetoria.
Correct, or incorrect? Thanks! -

"There will be some changes to the forums made, including a revamp of the forum rules which will be posted ahead of time for community criticism and discussion."
I really don't know what else they could clamp down on. Hopefully all this alludes to is consolidation of lesser used subsections and maybe even a reversal on the no games ever ban.
City of Heroes!

There is a new option in your "User CP", under the "Networking" heading... check it out.

Also, why the hell would anyone want to pick something other than FORUM CARTEL as a group membership?

MARTy IS A COMPLETE SUCCESS. NO MORE XP FOR ANYONE.

Now, off to increase prices in the market, and add new items at ridiculously inflated prices. -
This just in, the forums still suck. They just suck differently from the old forums. Boy, could we do a list of bullet points.

It won't let you check out if you have something you've already purchased in your cart.
(Note that it WILL let you buy a costume bundle if you've purchased individual pieces.) -
So...I'm keeping a notepad of all the things I've bought in the store, because (thus far) nothing I've bought is indicated as such. Buy Beam weapons four times, and Barbarian Armor twice? No problem!

Quote:I'm confused...never fix or update anything ever again? Never any maintenance? Just let the servers slowly burn themselves out over the next several weeks?Originally Posted by Screwed38
Its s good one to, stop taking the servers down for "necessary maintenance as it never lasts the alloted time, i can understand if its like this week and its down for 12 hours because your upgrading hardware but when you "screw up" and something in the patch forces more downtime, just try and get it right the first time.
I know im probably going to get slated for posting this but it pisses me off as i dont have much game time as it is
Yeah....no thanks.
