All suggestions are welcome You just got to get used to the fact that they aren't always going to garner support. There will always be disagreement. -
It's not as simple as upping the limit. Bases start crashing when you place too many items.

I was hoping this one would be easier but it isn't. The only one I thought was icky was B. I want all the others.

Okay I think I'm stuck in a loop but why can't we have all these options in one pack?

Why can't we have all three in a Space Suit Pack?

I want all three in a Rocket Pack Pack!!!
If I can't have all three then I like B best.

Quote:I appreciate your assistance but I did know which weapons that were being referred to. My point was we don't "need" access to the weapons that weren't included in the pack to finish making a Roman themed character at level 1.

Think he means the Romulus Nictus sword.

I don't think this is how it works, though. When you go back to F2P, you don't have all your F2P slots still unlocked. You have to re-unlock them.
I think what has happened is either a) the OP doesn't understand that he can re-unlock the slots, and just has to do it, or b) the OP doesn't have enough slots on the new server, which has been mentioned.
So there should be at least 2 global slots to reassign. If a player moved a lot of toons, I'm guessing there's at least one or two more global slots. Beyond that, you have to have slots on the new server and choose to unlock them, or you have to buy some more slots. The unlocks on your old server don't transfer with the character; you should be able to go back to your old server and see that you still have the same number of unlocks available (but again you'll have to re-choose them).
I upgraded one of my F2P accounts with a VIP starter kit the last time they were on sale for $1.99 and when it expired I didn't have to unlock my characters again. Maybe that was a bug or maybe it happened because I didn't switch servers. I don't know. -

Well said.
How can you call it a roman costume bundle when the roman swords and axes are not part of it? -

But seriously, this 50 was fast for me because it's my third in seven years of game play. Yes, I have altitis and love it! ;->
Now with that background I can understand and agree with your point of view. I only have two 50's myself and it took me years to get my first hero to 50 and I was only motivated to do that because I got my villain to 50 and said to myself that I needed to get off my butt and finish leveling that defender.

I'd question this fact, since you are saying there would be no reward left for getting a reward. If you defeat 100 Romans you currently get a reward of the badge and the unlocked weapons. If they sold the unlocked weapons, killing 100 Romans would still reward you with a badge.Oh I agree that earning the badge in itself is part of the reward, but for many people who aren't concerned about badges the weapon unlocks are the sign of achievement they value.Quote:Originally Posted by Zortel
Firstly, thanks for that little joking dig at the top. I didn't realise that the Roman weapons and shields that aren't Romulus' aren't awarded with ITF completion, and I went and owned up to that and apologised.
But, I disagree with you saying there is no reward left for earning the badge.
There is. The badge.
There are lots of defeat badges that don't reward anything. Some people get them because they like the title, some because they're badgers, some just because they happen to defeat enough of X to be entitled to it.
If someone wants the Roman weapons from start enough to buy the pack if they were included, they'll buy the pack. If they didn't feel that strongly about them but wanted them on one or two characters, they'd go and earn the badge. For those that like to have as many costume options as open possible, they'd buy the pack. For those that don't mind? They won't.
That's why in the past I've said about having the Invention Wings and Boots for sale, so that when making a character if I find a combination works, I can get it from the get go and be happy. Otherwise I'm having to look up what the other wings look like, or the boots, and try and cobble imagination and what's on the screen together to see if its worth transfering the inf over to a new character to go to the market, buy the salvage and the recipe, assemble it, then head to a tailor to try it on and hope it's okay.
My preference is include the Centurion stuff and not the Romulus Shield/sword if something has to be excluded.
Edit: Oh and Zortel, that wasn't a dig at you in my other post. The dig was at the others who unlike you were/are in their self righteous rages still denying the things I listed. It was meant to be a friendly welcome to the side of reason.
Second Edit: I'm waiting for the "false advertising" accusations and "I'm gonna sue" posts that are so funny to read. -
Quote:Gonna agree with Ad Astra and the others on this. /unsignedOriginally Posted by Ad Astra
^^^^^^^
Both of these.
NC/Paragon would have zero control over what is on the other website, other than dedicating multiple employees - I would think at least one per shift to handle new issues as they come up, since the game is international and folks play at all hours.
I'm on some of the social media sites all day, but I never click on those side ads or take surveys simply because I have no way of determining whether I'm going to pick up something nasty once I leave the social media website.
I don't worry about that on the social media website itself or even on a couple of the game websites (like the big one that starts with a "Z") because I am more confident that they have controls in place to prevent nasty bugs passing through their own content.
OP, you have an awful lot of faith in the "kindness of strangers" if you can't acknowledge the problems that some have raised with your idea. Me, I'm way more skeptical about relying on an outside website provider..... -

Answer: Yes, yes it is indeed possible to level to 50 just by running the Death From Below trial. Click on thumbnail for the victory moment:
This screenshot was grabbed in the middle of a PuG today February 1, 2012. I was one happy player to get my third 50 so quickly, thank you Freedom!
Firessence was started on October 19, 2011 because this thread got me curious about if it was possible to earn levels only in DfB or if it would cause me to overdose on sewers. A Fire/Fire blaster was an obvious choice as it's all about damage and more damage from the start.
I was pleased that the XP curve stayed pretty good, though it did feel slow during levels 45 - 48. The three things that helped me through most of the DfB was interspersing playtime with other alts, listening to the Ustream community chats, and great PuGs players.
Next DfB: Monday with the Freedom Horde.
Congrats on your new 50 but since when did three months of playing become a quick trip to 50? I know many people that can get characters to 50 in a week and never set foot in the DfB. And they were doing it on a regular basis before Freedom launched.
Heck when CoV launched I got my first MM to the level cap (40) in two days, and then when they raised the level cap to equal blue side I got the last 10 levels in 6 hours.
And that was when it was actually hard to level characters. We didn't have patrol xp, exp booster temp powers. There were gaps in the content that had to be struggled thru, and there was no XP curve to make things easier, There were also no IO's that never expired once slotted. We had to constantly replace our TO's, DO's, and SO's.
On top of all that we had to walk 5 miles in the snow, up hill, during lightning storms, while carrying a metal pole just to log on to play the game. And we were grateful.

The base costume creator already includes a gladius, so you're in luck. If all you care about is "a" sword as opposed to "Romulus Augustus' sword" then you're clear to buy the Roman pack.
Don't confuse these guys with facts. Facts have no place in nerd rage posts. So we are supposed to ignore the following facts.
Fact: The basic Roman sword has always been available at level 1. See the Gladius.
Fact: The Roman costume pieces in the pack are unlocked by completing the ITF.
Fact: The devs have said they kept some items that are unlocked by completing the ITF (The Romulus Augustus and Nictus Swords) out of the Roman pack so there is still things to unlock in the ITF.
Fact: The Roman swords and axes that are being complained about were never unlocked by completing the ITF. They are unlocked by completing the Centurion badge which can be completed without ever running an ITF.
Fact: The shields in the Roman pack are also unlocked by earning the Centurion badge, but if the devs included the Swords and axes there would be no reward left for earning the badge.
This bundle is a fair compromise. Players can get shields, armor and a Roman sword at level 1, and the ITF and Centurion badges still have rewards that can be unlocked. -

OK... but this isn't that thread. So, you're attacking an argument which no one in this discussion is actually making, which is the definition of a strawman. Whether or not somebody somewhere else has at some point made that argument doesn't make it less of a strawman.
-
Quote:Not a strawman at all. You posted in the other thread where Ghost Falcon responded to Lothics post and confirmed she was right about why the weapons weren't included, so you also know that people complained that they don't like buying something that they can unlock for free in the game which is a complaint about the existence of the pack. They have also complained about a variety of other things on top of that.Originally Posted by Hopeling
Strawman much? I didn't see anyone complaining about the existence of the pack, only that the devs left the weapons out for no clear reason, which makes it feel like they just botched an attempt to fulfill what has been a frequent request since Freedom, if not much earlier. As customers, we have every right to voice our opinions (preferably calmly, as this thread has so far been) on the product we're purchasing. That is, after all, what the feedback thread is for.

Quote:Yeah. We definitely don't want the devs doing nice things for us during holiday events anymore. Bunch of jerks. Where do they get off giving us a chance to buy access to content that's normally gated behind the completion of a 35+ TF just because it has things in common with the Spring Fling event.Originally Posted by Xzero45
Better shot of being heard and hopefully preventing something like this from happening in the future.

Quote:Don't hold your breath waiting. Posi has flat out told us that they are against everything that would let us make creating solo SG's easier.Originally Posted by Border_line
I'm sorry, I'm just not a big social player but I like this game, and I'd like to be able to have a personal base between my characters to store things like those with SGs have.
Right now the best we could hope for is extremely restricted base features, and that is very unlikely considering the devs current policy on the subject.
Edit: The topic in question where we got Posi's response was about if they would consider adding a feature that let us send email invites to our offline characters, and we were told that if they ever were to add such a feature they would deliberately design it so we wouldn't be able to send email invites to characters on our own accounts. SG's were designed for group oriented content not to make solo SG's/bases.
I wish we could convince them otherwise.
