    Correct -- over 50 million Prestige behind 6th currently.

    I (and I believe many others) have found that this occurs regardless of player behavior.

    Still, all it does is lengthen the time it takes to get all people the badge -- you just keep at it until everyone who wants it has it.
  3. Congrats!

    Same here, happy to help subsidize if needed. Nice idea, 23 -- even if you only end up helping out the two people that have asked so far.

    You've sure posted quite a few times over this "non-issue".

    You can't, and it's not.

    Indeed. However, if the devs are ever in need of a little cash, they know who to come to...

    Ditto that.

    I'm just exploring it now, and the bags of money hanging over the pyre particularly cracked me up.

    Swap them in and out as desired, retaining them all at all times (with the restriction that only one can be slotted at a time, and there's a 5-minute cooldown enforced between slottings IIRC).

    Remember, the mechanic used here is similar to an enhancement, in that you build the Boost and then "slot" it into the appropriate, well, slot. So in my mind, the execution ends up being very similar to enhancement slots that allow you to detach and swap enhancements at will (except for the above restrictions).

    I20 at the earliest is a logical conclusion, I think. If I'm not mistaken, that's when the Incarnate system floodgates may be opened and the rest of it rolled out.

    Congrats! That screenshot surely IS awful, in a most mesmerizing way, +2 billion for that!

    Keep in mind, too (not that you're seriously considering it, apparently), that if you chose two random rolls, you'd have to purchase them 20 hours apart, since you can only make one A-Merit purchase during that period.
  16. Thanks a ton to @Canadian Medbot, who got me in tonight. I celebrated by burning a quick billion, and it looks like (for the moment) we're back to #13 again. Woohoo! The toasty warmth of burning inf is so comforting on a cold Autumn evening!

    My favorite proc of ALL TIME.

    I have a couple of toons where I put one into every single attack that I could -- it's fun to see the holds pop up all the time.

    Thanks, NG! I did try that Tuesday evening, but while there were people in the channel at the time, apparently nobody that was able to invite. I'll keep trying, though.

    As Snow confirmed, you are of course correct -- I was confused between the two mechanics.

Maybe some people will even try to offer them up to the highest bidders for badges until next Halloween comes around...
    Are you sure it's deleted, as opposed to what usually happens to Tips (being put into "escrow" until the appropriate alignment is again achieved)?

  22. Okay, I've been on the fence about joining up and burning off my (not-so-)hard-earned inf (because I'm just greedy like that), but reading that other thread just did it for me. If you guys'll have me, I'll create a Virtue toon (or transfer one there from my home server) and funnel as much inf as I can over for destruction.

    Like Dumple, I simply cannot wait to see the inevitable march to the top and (much more entertainingly) the accompanying cries of "Dirty rotten exploiters!" from some quarters.

    Imperial City, and yes, the entrance to PD is within Studio 55.
