I believe that premiums can access the zone, and the repeatable contacts. The arc contacts are off limits.Quote:Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Premiums can access anything not under Regular Contacts on the Night Ward article. That's why the flag is only under Regular Contacts. If Night Ward as a whole was VIP, the flag would be at the top.
You can click on the contacts names and it'll have a flag up top that indicates VIP. If it doesn't have the VIP flag, it's not VIP.Quote:Originally Posted by Agent White
Freemies have access to:
The Zone Itself
Fireball (range 30-50)
Trilogy (range 30-50)
Sir Lionel (Range 30-39)
Atherton Cromwell (Range 30-39).
Anything else requires a VIP subscription.
Thanks for all the detailed info, it clears up a lot for me, and the OP.
The devs move in mysterious an frustrating ways.Quote:As for why there's no Night Ward pack yet. Honestly don't know. First Ward I believe was for sale as soon as it went live. And nothing about the zone was ever advertised as 'VIP Exclusive', so it's actually a surprise it hasn't been put on the market yet.

Not sure if that's correct - I seem to recall Premiums being able to play, and not have to pay.

We all understand you want it to work like the Kheldian forms, but the onus is still on you to put forth a complete suggestion. Posting a list of words isn't a complete suggestion for a new archetype. All you have done is vaguely sketch out a skeleton of an idea. We need a lot more details before we can share in your vision.
The best I can figure your doing is cherry picking "forms" by looking at the pre-existing pets that currently exist in the game and trying to cobble an AT/Power Sets out of them.
Oh by the way you aren't going to get "growth" The devs have already explained in the many "growth" power set suggestions over the years that the game engine will not support it. -

Q: Did my tanks get nerfed?
A: No. -
If I'm reading the wiki right the Night Ward requires a VIP subscription.
http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Night_Ward
Regular Contacts
Requires a VIP subscription.
If I'm reading that right then you can't do subscription restricted content unless you are subscribed. The "license" is the subscription. No sub no access. Prems and Freems can't join VIP teams doing sub restricted content either. All team members must be subscribers. -

No, your tanks didn't get nerfed. Unless you are Johnny Butane.
Our devs secretly developed a sentient program called the "Johnny Butane Code" that seeks out only his characters and stealth nerfs them while simultaneously buffing his opponents. -
I love this Doctor Who anime made by one fan.

How is this "figured out"?
Machines - What does this mean? The character turn into a toaster oven? A washing machine? What type of machines are you imagining and what can they do? Please be specific.
Animals - We only have skeletons and animations for Wolves and large Cats. So once again if you want something else please be specific.
Dinosaurs - See Animals except that we don't have any skeletons or animations on hand.
Creatures - I'm sorry but what does this mean? Bipedal, quadripedal, humanoid, arthropoid? Could you be any more vague?
Structures - See Machines. Are you asking to turn into a building? A salt dome, a beaver dam. Please be more specific about what you have in mind and what it can do.
Vehicles - While this is certainly possible you'll be restricted to flyers for the same reasons we don't have ground vehicles as a travel power. (see any previous vehicle travel power suggestion for those reasons)
Disguise - Do you mean like the Halloween temp disguise powers shown at the link below?
http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Halloween_Event/Trick_or_Treat
Sure but you do realize that they don't come with any inherent powers.
Or do you mean a disguise like the one in Mike Habashy's story arc that turns you into a Hellion? Forget that, the devs aren't going to give you an unlimited power that lets you stealth missions with impunity.
Or do you mean duplicating another players costume? While possible not every player has the same costume pieces unlocked on their accounts, and the devs won't let us get access to other power sets if that's what you had in mind.
Sorry without a lot more specific details put into this I don't see the devs giving this the slightest bit of consideration. -
Quote:So use the existing ingame tools the devs added to block blind invites.Originally Posted by Soul Trapped Burrito
Me? I don't care if people do dfb. Sorta related I guess, but I do not like getting random group requests in Atlas though.
Either set your Search flag to red which blocks invites, or type in /hide and select 1. Hide and block all Invite Options.
Whenyou are ready to join a team you can reset your flag or unselect /hide. -

Not especially opposed to the idea ... but it probably wouldn't work. The people who abuse the help channel do so because they know they have the "entire" audience, and a captive audience to boot, unless you want to turn the help channel off. So, they would probably continue using it.

These people were abusing the Help channel before the game went F2P and they had access to every channel, adding a new channel won't stop them. -

Thinking about it, I think it's an interesting idea, just having a 10,000 storage inventory available to anyone inside the markets and each would be different storage for each zone. (I guess villains might get an extra one thrown in one of the vault buildings or something).
Personally, I think the real problem would be trolls stuffing the limited everybody-fleamarket-storage with 1 kind of thingy...like taking up all the space with Inanimate Carbon Rods. Why the hell are you stuffing the slots with rods like that!? No one could ever possibly take and use that many rods. And when someone wants to put up some Demonic Blood, the slots are full with rods! WTH?
Someone needs to find this troll and shove those rods right back where he got them, although maybe that's why he put them there...he gets off to lynch mobs shoving inanimate rods into him out of anger...
...hmm, what were we talking about again? -
Quote:Then you don't need to be concerned with this thread. You already have a solution that works for you.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
You know what's a lot easier?
Deleting junk and not messing around dragging it into the market window to see if someone out there is bored enough to place vendor-bait bids on stuff.
Because everyone else doesn't use the market by your narrow interpretation of how it should be used.Quote:Why?
No one cares how you spend your influence.Quote:I just converted several billion inf into prestige because someone passed the Crazy 88's as the "#1" supergroup on Virtue.
Yes because the only meaningful way to use the market is the way set forth by Saint Nethergoat the Market Messiah. No one could possibly be successful on the market otherwise.Quote:Vendor prices for anything in the game are literally meaningless to me, as they are for anyone who engages the market in a meaningful way- "meaningful" here defines as regularly selling your good drops for market prices. Little teasing there.
Funny I do it all the time, so your opinion of nobody doing it is wrong.Quote:You're missing my point.
Nobody is going to bother listing or vendoring garbage recipes regardless of how convenient it is.
The few seconds it takes to sell off extra items when I'm upgrading enhancements at a vendor are always worth my time. So once again you don't speak for everyone.Quote:The sums involved don't make it worth anyone's time.
Except for the people that would camp the bins to grab stuff as fast as it entered. Yeah that couldn't possibly be abused by anyone.Quote:A recycling bin would be a fun mini game that would re purpose all that junk the community has declared "garbage".

No one has ever said that they couldn't get to level 50 doing DfB's.
Players can also get to level 50 by doing only zone events, Rikti Mothership Raids, AE Missions, streetsweeping, etc.
So what. -
Quote:The market tells you if there are any bids on a recipe (or any other item for that matter) so it's impossible to tie up a slot with what you personally deem a "garbage" recipe. Everything sells immediately when the price is 1 inf, or 5 inf if you are afraid that someone might bid under 5 and the 1-4 inf loss will bankrupt you.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
I'm not going to tie up a valuable market slot for a garbage recipe- neither am I going to bother vendoring something for a few hundred or thousand inf- my game time is too valuable for that.
The stuff that has no bids simply vendor at an NPC store, which could be made easier by adding an NPC vendor at the AH/BM as I suggested.
The only people that get slots tied up are the ones that choose to overprice their recipes/etc and get ignored by buyers not desperate enough to pay those prices. -
Quote:Cool. Just wanted to make sure we were on the same page cuz more than once we've had someone point to a dev stating one thing and trying to claim it means they siad it would "never" happen. I think Power/Weapon customization is the most frequently misquoted feature.Originally Posted by Evil_Legacy
oh I know I'm talking about responses on the post. People come up with ideas, and usually within the first couple of posts, there is one, that comes and say "the devs will never do this or that." "or this or that will never happen" and lo and behold it happens and same people act like they was behind the idea the whole time. Unless the dev specifically come out and says "We aint never ever going to do that, ever." then never say never and even then for those small cases, its not 100% certain.
Quote:Originally Posted by Evil_Legacy
A light bulb just went off not sure why I didnt think of that. Now that would seem easy to do, wont take much work and will be relatively out the way. and save the hassle of reclaiming everything that didnt sell back in the slots, assuming they are still there and not filled with useful stuff to just run across town to the nearest npc store.
On the other hand wish there was more easier way to trade items/email. to players who can use my junk instead of the one by one thing/ Like would like to be able to send say I have this recipe going in the trash but some poor sap is looking for those recipes. I would like to be able to bundle them up into one email and send it over.
Yeah I don't think any player would object to the email attachments being improved. -
Quote:I thought that's what the Auction House/Black Market and NPC stores are for. Nothing stopping anyone from selling what they think of as "garbage" for 1 inf on the market and if there's no interest there sell it to an NPC store.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
easy enough to delete the garbage as I go.
what I would like is a 'recycling bin' at various locations throughout the game where people could drop off their unwanted recipes and other players could root through looking for usable stuff....but that isn't very practical either.
Just add an NPC store at the AH/BM for convenience. -
Quote:Please don't confuse what players misinterpret being said with what the devs actually said. The number of things the devs have actually said would never happen is very small.Originally Posted by Evil_Legacy
hell even the number of ehancement storage was said never was goign to happen. now you can buy up to 50 slots.
The closest the devs ever came to saying anything about increasing the number of enhancement trays was when they told us we were lucky they decided to allow us to pull 10 enhancements off of a build during a respec when it was first designed. -

And that's not what the OP asked. He was asking if we would lose access to items already purchased.
I believe all of that information is stored local to each server, and not on a central separate server now. That's why there's an extra pause when you connect to a server: "Retreiving Information From XXXXXXX Server" or words to that effect.
If it does occur it will be because it was an unanticipated bug they don't remotely expect to happen otherwise they'd have included a warning.
Unexpected bugs are unexpected. We could sit here all day thinking of things that "could" happen when the store is taken offline.
"Could" we lose access to previous purchases? Sure, it's possible, but we "could" also find all our previous purchases have been credited to our accounts a second time. One's just as likely or unlikely as the other. -
Have you seen this suggestion then Wendy?
Quote:Now the person making this suggestion insists it's serious suggestion so I can only surmise he either thinks the DfB is too hard, or he doesn't want to play a game where the opponents can fight back.Quote:I think we need special places we can go where we exemplar/malefactor to level 3 and fight level 2 cows that respawn quickly.

Please note that during these maintenance periods, it will still be possible to purchase Paragon Points. However, your Paragon Point total will not be updated to reflect purchases of Paragon Points until the respective maintenance has been completed. To reiterate, it will not be possible to purchase anything in the Paragon Market during this time, even though Paragon Points can be bought.
Thank you for patience and understanding in this matter. -
I heard the devs said that doing anything with the base code was like playing Jenga on Ellen.
