You mean Large Inspirations, Single Origin Enhancements, and Archetype Enhancements are all nothing? No Freem or Prem ever uses them, even tho they can all be bought with Reward Merits and none of them requires an IO lisense?

And are you actually going to try to argue that no Prem player has unlocked the Lifetime Access to the Invention System Paragon Reward? You really don't have a clue as to how many players are 4, 5, 6 year vets that dropped to Prem to save some money.

No. I'm just more familiar with the game mechanics than you are.

Of course no Free or Prem has ever joined another persons team/trial and didn't have control of the mission difficulty, and has never been in a situation where they needed more "Awakens" than they were carrying, or been on a team that didn't have an Emp or someone with the Medicine pool. And no Free or Prem player has ever refused to hit the Hospital just because it was on the other side of the zone or in another zone altogether and it would take too long to get back to the mission.

Nope all Prem players are hardcore soloists.

Are you sure that Prem players are all experts at designing builds and never make mistakes. Also are you certain that the devs have never changed the way a power works so it becomes necessary to alter the enhancements that are slotted in it.

And you know for a fact that no Prem players have unlocked the Lifetime Access to the Invention System Paragon Reward. Not one had an account active long enough prior to Freedom launching to unlock that reward. Riiight.

You obviously have never been up against an AV, a GM, or in a PvP zone. None of which require access to Itrials and Incarnate content. You also seem to be completely unaware of how many players take pride in soloing AV's and GM's, and they do it by popping inspirations.

You seem awfully certain there are no Prem players that have unlocked the Lifetime Access to the Invention System Paragon Reward.

And there are plenty of Prems that do want those costume pieces.

That's only your opinion much like nearly everything else you have said.

Do you honestly think there are no SG's with multiple Prem players that would ever want to earn prestige faster.

I gotta ask, have you ever actually played this game? Cuz I find it hard to believe that you've never seen Prems running back to back DfB's, TF's, Farms, etc in order to level up as fast as possible.

And yet there are countless posts where both Prems and VIP's have been complaining about how hard it is to get the wolf.

Hate to burst your bubble but there are Astronaut badges for each branch of the military. A space force command would most likely draw elite personnel from each service.



The Army badge


The Naval/USMC/Coast Guard insignia


Only the Air Force doesn't have a badge/insignia for it's astronaut qualified personnel.

Ya know I think your right about the chaplains. I forgot about them completely.

Yes Delta Force has officers.

No there isn't a lot of information published about their Table of Organization and Equipment because it's classified by the Pentagon because it's the primary counter terrorism unit for the Army.

What we do know is that the unit (Delta Force) was created along the lines of the British SAS.


Yes Marines have their own officers. The only thing they don't have is medical personnel. All medical personnel are provided by the US Navy.

As I recall you bought the Going Rogue expansion, not the individual Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning Power sets that are currently on the market. The original expansion was never for sale on the paragon market, but if it were you'd be selling back everything you got with the original GR expansion.

I was only commenting that I thought that Electric Control fit the role of a electric themed support power set.

For all I know he never bought GR, or maybe he's a Prem that doesn't have access to controllers, or maybe he simply forgot about it.


Wait. I just remembered seeing him post earlier today in the comic hero/villain culture do he's a VIP. My bad for having a faulty memory.

So was I, even the fact that the devs went ambush happy didn't bother me as much as it does most people. The only thing that turned me off of Praetoria is that it's missions are even more linear than Villains. being alt happy I quickly get sick of doing the exact same missions over and over. Hero side gives me a much better illusion of variety. At least it did until they screwed up Atlas Park/Galaxy City by gutting the starting missions.

If you hadn't noticed the person I was quoting is acknowledging a distinction between F2P and Prem accounts. The poster means F2P = Freem.

The distinction between Free and Prem accounts is the only fact correct in that persons post. The rest is just that persons biased opinion.

Well to be perfectly honest it was intended to come across as mocking so I won't apologize for it, but out of respect for you I will attempt to reign it in. Being a self admitted jerk it can get away from me cuz it's instinctive.

Really? I hadn't heard that. Thanks for pointing out my error.

Okay. I just always thought Controllers and their sets were support characters. My bad.

We don't? What happened to Electric Control? Cuz it sure looks like an electric themed support set to me.

Electric Fence 1 Ranged, Moderate DoT(Energy), Foe Immobilize, -End, -Fly, -Knockback

Tesla Cage 1 Ranged, Moderate DMG(Energy), Foe Hold, -End

Chain Fences 2 Ranged AoE, Minor DMG(Energy), Foe Immobilize, -End, -Fly

Jolting Chain 6 Ranged Chain AoE, Minor DMG(Energy), Foe Knockdown, -End

Conductive Aura 8 Toggle: PBAoE, Foe -End, Self +Rec, +Regen

Static Field 12 Target (Location AoE), Foe Sleep, -End

Paralyzing Blast 18 Ranged AoE, Foe Hold, -End

Synaptic Overload 26 Ranged Chain AoE, Foe Confuse, -End

Gremlins 32 Summon Gremlins: Melee Minor DMG(Energy)

News flash. F2P players never spend a dime on the game so everything in the market is useless to them. DERP! They also can't buy

Only Prems and VIP's can use the items in super packs.

ROFMAO!

Reward Merits - Useless. No Prem ever uses merits
Resurrection temp powers - Useless. Prem characters never die.
Enhancement Unslotters - Useless. No Prem ever wants to remove an enhancement without burning an entire respec.
Inspirations - Useless. No Prem ever wants powerful buffs that help themselves and their teammates.
Enhancement Boosters - Useless. No Prem ever wants more powerful enhancements.
Catalysts - Useless. No Prem would want to enhance an ATO.
ATO's - Useless. No Prem would want to use ATO's or sell them on the market for millions of Inf.
Costume pieces - Useless. Everyone knows Prems like running around in the default generic costume.


Windfall temp power- Useless. No Prem wants a 25% increase on the influence they earn.
Prestige Booster - Useless. No Prem wants a 50% Prestige boost.
XP Booster - Useless. No Prem wants a 25% boost to the experience they earn.
Experienced temp power - Useless. No Prem wants to be able to claim half a level of Patrol XP.

Prems hate getting extra Inf, Prestige, and Exp so much that they have universally agreed that they are boycotting the Double XP weekend on the 16th because if they participated they'd be getting double the Inf, Prestige, and Exp they normally get.

Finally there's the Black Wolf non combat pet. Absolutely useless, and frelling uber rare to boot. Not one Prem or VIP has ever said that they wanted that stupid thing.


Oh and by the way, the Market License is only $2 dollars. Prem's don't "have" to spend $60 bucks to use it.

Please don't get discouraged if one idea doesn't get a lot of support. Everyone is always welcome to make suggestions. Just remember that the game is 8 years old and there isn't a lot that hasn't been gone over countless times, even tho those threads may be hard to find.

Looking forward to your next idea.

Gee as I remember it, before Praetoria various people were always complaining about how low level Hero/Villain content was boring because it was too easy and not challenging enough. Which is why they power leveled, farmed, whatever thru it as fast as possible.

Then GR was released with tougher critters and instead of being happy about getting new content that wasn't easy everyone was upset that the stuff was too hard.

I'll let your imagination speculate about what I did to create a character based on a girl that was bitten by the ghost of a radioactive steam locomotive (the British Mallard to be specific) while she was tied to the railroad tracks.

(I got that idea from reading another thread.)

I'm sorry to disagree with you but that is no longer true. I made over a billion influence selling ATO's. It took maybe 15 minutes to open the packs, claim them and sell them on the market.

Now if the ATO prices drop drastically that may change.

Not a problem. We've all miss phrased or could have quoted things better by accident. But I have also seen some outrageous arguments get made that are pure entertainment gold. Like the guy in November that tried to claim he couldn't afford things on the market because he only made 70k a year. (the thread ended up getting modsmacked into deletion), or the guy that argued that the Super Tailor feature in the Science booster was going to promote real life cross dressing in children.

My favorite tho was the guy that wanted the sub fee lowered because he couldn't afford a subscription here on top of what he paid monthly for (and he took the time to post a detailed list with how much he paid) a dozen other online games, maid service, gambling, adult entertainment, alcohol, restaurants, 4 types of insurance, video rentals, electronics, movie theatres, and groceries. He also implied that he's paying monthly on furniture and computer.

And when we suggested he simply cut back on what he spent on booze, adult entertainment, and gambling. Or he skip one movie or one meal at a restaurant he got mad and called everyone rich spoiled brats. (roflmao)

Furthermore you can't even be considered a candidate for several of the "Special Forces" unless you have already completed prior standard training, and time on active duty.

For example to become a Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman one needs to pass the following screening and training.

Male graduates of Field Medical Service School, hospitalman to hospital corpsman 2nd class (That's E-5), who are currently serving with a Marine Corps unit may attend the screening.

Candidates must have a current ASVAB general technical score of 100 or higher.
The last three physical fitness assessments and be able to achieve a first class swim qualification.
A commanding officer endorsement is also required.
No non-judicial punishments for 12 months and no court-martials for 24 months.

The extensive training requires a commitment to serve as a recon corpsman for a minimum of three years.

Qualified recon corpsmen are sent to a "Marines Awaiting Reconnaissance Training" (MART) platoon at Camp Pendleton, CA where they train continuously. Once a corpsman passes the screening criteria, he must attend the 13-week Basic Reconnaissance Course at Camp Pendleton, CA. After BRC, the corpsman must complete training schools that include the United States Marine Corps Combatant Diver Course, Army Basic Airborne School and Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman Course

Occupational Classification

After completion of Phase 1-6 listed below, corpsman holding the NEC 8404 will be awarded the NEC 8427. All other personnel will be able to perform as a qualified inside tender.

NEC 8404 Fleet Marine School graduate
Basic Reconnaissance School MOS (0321) (9 weeks)
Marine Combatant Dive School (7 weeks)
Amphibious Reconnaissance Course (3 weeks)
US Army Special Operations Combatant Medic course (36 weeks)
US Army Basic Airborne School (3 weeks). Sailors possessing NEC 8404 will be awarded NEC 8427.
US Army Special Operations Combat Medic ADSOCM (24 weeks). Sailors holding the NEC 8427 will be awarded NEC 8403.



The SARCs are a team of 22 senior corpsmen and seventy-two junior corpsmen (all of whom are non commissioned officers), trained and specialized in the same aspects of their Recon Marine counterparts, in amphibious, deep recon and direct action. They are also capable of conducting detailed underwater ship-bottom searches. During operational status, the teams will then be dispersed evenly throughout the Marine recon platoons; usually one amphibious recon corpsman per platoon.

SARCs have regularly acted as the point man, as sharp shooters, as the radio operator, or even the team leader in the Marine recon teams/platoons.

In the Navy

E-1 to E-2 only requires 9 months of active duty and the CO's approval on the Enlisted Performance Evaluation.

E-2 to E-3 only requires 9 additional months of active duty and the CO's approval on the Enlisted Performance Evaluation. (Commands have the option of giving an Apprenticeship examinations consist of 150 questions. 100 questions are on the specific apprenticeship (job) and 50 questions are on general military subjects. Even so, promotions to E-3 are not competitive. The exams are pass/fail. Those who achieve a passing score can be promoted, those who don't receive a passing score will have to try again.)

E-3 to E-4 requires 6 additional months of active duty, and passing whatever additional training is required for the specific rating, and the CO's approval on the Enlisted Performance Evaluation.

No we don't. We rarely ever disagree.





Damn I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

Uhm . . . Bad news Dark.

GG was RIGHT!!!

Gee. Here I've been blaming Rangle for all of that.

Oh get over it. It doesn't matter what time they publish it, the Earth is round and there will always be people in the timezones ahead of the chosen publish timezone.
