    You're welcome. After all, you asked.

    If you haven't already exhausted the freebie you have right now (and it's worth checking because they often reset it), you could always contact CS and ask. Make sure you have a good reason for doing so.

    Naw, mostly you just cut a lit bit off of all the other legs and try again.

    It's so scenic this time of year.

    Aya.

    I get that it's nearly a moot point this close to the Paragon Rewards going live, but still...

They may not even be a problem. The overall feel of these need-for-RP posts was that people were sick of godmoding, 'holier than thou' argument-based characters, angsty wangsty teens, emo darkity-darks, terrible "I am canon" concepts and other aforementioned wing-dang-diddly.
    I just mean that a lot of this is subjective. Sure, there will be some trolls who deliberately grief, but a lot of what you've laid out comes down to personal preference and playstyle. Different people have different definitions of what does and does not constitute what you've identified.

    Avatea just pointed that out to me.

    Me: "Hey, are we going to put the patch note up for today?"
    Avatea: "It's already up..."
    Me: "I knew that..." (stumbles off to find caffeine)
    Haha!

    No, that was up yesterday. /vault

  10. It was definitely in there around Auto Assault/Exteel.

    Something, something, something, coder, coder, coder, magic, *waving of hands*, engineering speak.

    We'll get a note up regarding it soon.
    You have a note up already. Are you not paying attention?

    You mean Positron? He's the one that said it. I'm sure NS could whip up some sweet looking Blue Suede Frankensteins for us.

On the other hand, if you want to go in and drop $500 on a game to get all of them, that't your prerogative and the developers won't mind the extra cash one bit.
    You pay $15 bucks a month, and get a token per month.

    Or, when you feel like it, you drop $15 bucks...and you still get a token. I think, if anything, it's a parity/fairness issue. Either way, it'll satisfy the OP, and it won't cost $500 to do it.

    • A need to argue.
    • A bad attitude.
    • Netspeak.
    • Wangst.
    • Emo garbage.
    Will you be policing this for everyone?

    I can't forget that funny taste in my mouth.
  18. Powers selection are a part of the Character Creator, and the new Character Creator clearly allows people to look at and try things that are locked/exclusive for various reasons. I don't see how people couldn't at least experience the names and animations in the market.

    If you're asking for, "How does it feel when I play it to level 50," well then too bad.

    For whatever reason, they nuked the splash. Disappointing, but there it is. Also:

  20. As folks have explained, you don't get to change your first costume. Well, much, at least. Your other four (five [nine {ten}]) are a different story.
  21. Outside of the temporary effect of this quirky little bug, it's never been possible to combine the Crab harness with any other back details.

    ty!
    The whole point of the Paragon Market/Paragon Reward system is that you can pay to catch up. Every $15 or so you spend advances you another month/token in the system. And if you buy Paragon Points in bulk, they're likely to be cheaper.
