Quote:Which is exactly why the devs chose the 20 hour timer so players couldn't exploit the system contrary to how the devs want the timers to work.Originally Posted by Zortel
I'd guess this is the reason:
Do 5 tip missions before Midnight.
Limit Resets
Do 5 tip missions after midnight and Morality.
Congratulations, you've changed alignment in 2-4 hours. -
Quote:When buying from Amazon be very careful. Only buy a game if it has these important words advertised by the seller.Originally Posted by Robotech_Master
Why get it from eBay? You can get it new from Amazon for $5 plus another $5 or so shipping.
BRAND NEW FACTORY SEALED. -
Spines is Melee. I want a Banana Blaster set with a nose banana blast and a Banana AoE where people crossing it keep slipping on Bananas and falling down. I also want Banana costume pieces like Banana Armor, Hair, Ears, Mustache, and Gloves. Oh and a Banana flight travel power.
Heck instead of an entire power set just make a Banana Booster pack. -
I really really want this.

It includes any and all Incarnate slotted abilities, and by extension the level shift and incarnate shifts as well.

This is the third thread he's started in three days where he's complaining about dead servers, and one thread someone else started.

Any way? I am really... frustrated. I rolled on a dead server to play with some friends who are not praetorians. I rolled a defender... it's slow. Please give me a way out that doesn't involve rerolling or getting to 20.Quote:Originally Posted by Nox__Fatalis
I only ever see a few people in my level range. Literally right now 2 others as I try to level here.
Is everyone 50, or is there a time of day when people actually play here?And what's going on that has the OP upset?Quote:Originally Posted by Nox__Fatalis
This forum is practically dead, the union forums are practically dead, and I've never seen Union with 2 dots since I started up a week ago. It's depressing.
NCsoft, just merge some servers or something please...
Well he created a Praetorian on an EU server to play with his friends but . . .
1. None of his friends have Praetorians.
2. None of his friends are online or are willing to power level him up to 20 so he can leave Praetoria.
3. He's not playing during peak EU hours.
4. For whatever reason he refuses to make a character that is the same faction as his friends.
Needless to say the OP has earned the Ultimate Japanese Schoolgirl Karate Facepalm.

Quote:Your subscription pays for server access for 24 hours a day for the full month. NOT just when you decide to log on.Originally Posted by Nox__Fatalis
Except this particular period of time could constitute any % of your normal playing routine, well probably no more than 25%, but if this was your one day you liked to play per week, that's 4 dollars, not 4 cents.
I believe that's a better way to think about it, even if it's not perfect. Acting like people play 24 hours a day, 30 days a month only serves to strawman the issue.
Personally I don't care about the downtime, but I do get annoyed easily by bad arguments. -
Quote:Not to everyone. Of the hundred+ characters I have on two accounts less than 50 use IO's.Originally Posted by Gemini_2099
I disagree.
Loss of IO usage is a big one.
I am fine with VIP's only having access to Incarnate, but IO's need to be accessed with a lower threshold for qualifying premium status. -
Quote:Out of curiosity, does that include the stuff that is supposed to be usable when a 50 exemps down to 45?Originally Posted by Garielle
Actually if you drop to Premium, your Incarnate Powers will become greyed out. No incarnate access at all for non-VIPs.

I thought this was gonna be another merge the servers complaint.

And I don't think "I'm giving you all my regenerations (but what I actually mean is my ability to regenerate" is simpler than "I'm giving you my ability to regenerate". I think if they had meant that they would have just said it, but then it could just end up being a plot hole if they ever decide to address the Doctor's throw-away line from SJA on the main show.I was under the impression that Time Ladies didn't have any restrictions on the number of times they can regenerate. I distinctly remember Romana going thru half a dozen regenerations in the space of ten minutes, trying on new bodies/species for the Doctors approval before finally settling on the Lalla Ward version of Romana.Quote:Originally Posted by Lord_Nightblade
I dunno. I figure it was just simpler for the writers to say she'd used up her regens. Maybe they'll elaborate later down the road, or they'll just leave it be and let the fans speculate.
Whatever the case, it's a moot point considering what eventually happened to River. -

Swift

Now the two of you may have only use three of the powers on a regular basis but you certainly don't speak for everyone. All my characters that don't use travel powers use all 4 fitness powers. -
Quote:Positron's post had nothing to do with content. You don't earn Incarnate Trials, you earn the rewards. And it's the rewards you keep if your account drops to Premium.Originally Posted by Grouchybeast
So Positron made a mistake, Positron didn't express what he meant entirely clearly, or the exact content that would be available to Premium subscribers was changed after he made the comment.
Mistakes happen and things change. Some people are acting like Positron has personally jilted them at the altar over this. And yet, people also complain that the devs don't talk to the players enough and that marketing exert too much control over dev interaction. Gosh, I can't imagine why that might be. -
Quote:You can try to twist the meaning of Posi's answer all you want but the truth still remains clear for all to see.Originally Posted by Quasadu
Positron's words: "will ALWAYS have access to it and its features."
Access. His word was access. Not "keep."
It's exactly what he said. It's quoted directly from his post.
I don't know why you guys feel the need to twist it to try to cover up the mistake and say "oh he didn't mean Incarnates" or "he meant it wouldn't be deleted, not that you'd have access." He specifically quoted and responded to a question about Incarnates. He specifically said you will keep access.
He said something that was not accurate - he made a mistake. I'm fine with that, he's a human being and sometimes we get our facts wrong - or maybe plans changed between then and now. It was corrected and clarified and now we know for sure what's true. But what he said originally was incorrect. That's it. I don't know why anyone has a problem with that.
The player asked him about keeping the rewards he earned from running Incarnate Trials, and Posi answered that he would always keep what he earned.
Quote:Player's Question: What happens if I choose a toon that is fully incarnated out, as I purchased GR, ran trials, etc...? Do I still get those powers since I purchased GR and did that content, or are the incarnate goodies unavailable b/c I'm on F2P/Premium?
Posi's Answer: If you purchased GR on an account it will ALWAYS have access to it and its features.
Anything you earned or bought for your account will ALWAYS be available to that account, whether it's VIP or Premium.
The first sentence of Posi's answer deals specifically with Going Rogue and has nothing to do with Incarnate content.
The second sentence answers the players question about the Incarnate rewards.

Quote:I'm sorry that you have a problem understanding what the devs have said, but what you are interpreting is not what Posi posted.Originally Posted by Quasadu
You seem to be confused, too, then. Because what we're saying is that we DON'T have access to those powers.
Go back. READ what he said. You "will ALWAYS have access to it and its features."
We don't have access to Incarnates. The question being asked was about Incarnates, and nothing else.
If you don't see how that is a contradiction of current facts, well... the imperfection is yours.
Exactly.Quote:Originally Posted by Texas Justice
Keeping != Access. If you go Premium and don't have enough Paragon Rewards, you lose access to MM's and Controllers. You still have them, but you can't access them until you've unlocked that access. The only way to unlock access to Incarnate powers is to subscribe. The powers are still there, you just don't have access to them. -
NO!
IT'S A COMIC BOOK!
For those that will automatically assume anything
starting with the word Twilight is about thparkly vampires. -
I'm sorry but I don't see what's confusing about what Posi said.
He was asked if a fully slotted Incarnate character would get to keep the rewards he slotted and Posi confirmed that players will get to keep any Incarnate slots and enhancements that have already been earned when Freedom launches.
He said nothing about being able to access Incarnate content.
What I do see is people making assumptions and not paying attention to what was said.
I made that same exact mistake when they first made the Freedom announcement and I read about the new VIP server. I assumed that they were dropping to just two servers and decided I wanted to all my characters on the VIP server. I made the mistake because I wasn't paying attention to what was actually posted. Once I realized they weren't getting rid of any servers I quickly admitted my mistake and dropped all thoughts of transferring characters to the VIP server. -
Quote:Going Rogue was Issue 18. The Incarnate content was released with Issue 19. So no one bought Incarnate content. All we bought with Going Rogue was the ability to use the Incarnate System when it finally was released.Originally Posted by Quasadu
Actually, I thank you for finding that quote. It was one I was staring to think I'd misremembered. Because it seems that what Positron said there is not actually true. The player asking the question is talking about Incarnate powers (which are a feature of Going Rogue, as I recall), and Posi's comment implies that Incarnate powers will remain accessible as a Premium if you bought Going Rogue. Current evidence from Beta seems to contradict that, however, and it appears you will not have Incarnate access as a premium player under any circumstances. I would really appreciate it if the Devs would clarify that apparent contradiction.

Quote:So how do you explain this then?Originally Posted by Gemini_2099
Whatever you paid for you should be able to keep. That is the trend with other F2P models, so why CoX isn't following that approach I don't understand.

Anything you bought or earned will always be available to your account whether it's VIP or Premium. How is that different from other F2P MMO's? -
Quote:Yep. Here it is.Originally Posted by Eric Nelson
There's a red name post out there (by Zwill, I believe) stating that the devs are not going to be running a name-freeing script around I21/Freedom, and furthermore that they currently have no plan to do so in the future (someone more passionate about this topic than I am can go hunt down the post if desired).
That said, there's a whole server full of free names being made available when Exalted server launches.
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...&postcount=221
He made the post a few weeks before they announced the game was going F2P. Obviously the devs don't want any returning players offended by finding their names genericed.
Oh and I didn't hunt down the post. When he made it I saved it because I figured there'd be more threads like this one when whatever he couldn't discuss got announced.

Quote:Actually I live near a Little Ceasars that has an everyday offer to walk-ins of a large pepperoni or sausage pizza for $5 bucks. While it's not great pizza, every time I've stopped there they are busy trying to keep up with the all the customers.Originally Posted by Captain_Photon
I was about to say, "Either your local pizzeria is the pizzeria of the gods or they are ripping you the hell off," but then I remembered that it is, in fact, no longer 1991 outside my head, where the price of a large pizza remains around $8 and comic books are still worth buying. It's hard living with a permanently timeshifted consciousness.

Bingo.
This was very much a case of "I'm right, nothing you say will convince me otherwise, and you're all stupid for not seeing how right I am."
And it got every bit of derision it deserved.
The last sentence was the best because he doesn't realize that what he's doing is describing how he himself has been acting.Quote:Originally Posted by T_Immortalus
you idiots from that thread obviously couldn't resist opening up with the standard fanboy "can I have your stuff" and "this is all gumdrop dreams and candy coated reality" instead of objectively looking at it while also trying to be real customers trying to get as much value for your money as you can.
