Jetpack

3 first runs - 2 commons, 1 uncommon

My Fire Armor/EM tank is my favorite character of all time in CoX. But that has nothing to do with EM.

She's tremendous fun to roleplay. She's purpled and IO'd out the wazoo. Burn, Blazing Aura, Fireball help out tons.

I'd love EM improvement, as my spouse just hates it on her Ice tank now, but I don't expect it.

So, just worked on a DA arc with my spouse with a lvl 41 controller. Her arc, of course.

The arc completed, and I, to my surprise, had a reward table pop up. Naturally not being lvl 50, I had the choice of the regular merits or super inspiration. Then it hit me.

Did I just miss out on my chance for an incarnate component for first completing that arc when I do it myself at lvl 50 later? If so, not a big deal, but I clearly need to make sure that I don't do that again in the future.

Skip it.

Currently a Tier 8 Premium, and wondering if purple recipes will drop for a lvl 50 Premium.

My experiences from this weekend say no, after about 8 farm runs in BM at x8 with none, but could just be lousy luck. Didn't see this addressed in a search or on Paragon Wiki.

Not a big deal, but just curious. Thanks!

Yes, patrol XP. Sorry, bad habit to refer to it as rest XP.

Thank you both. I know that in another game I've played, the rest XP is a sub only feature, so it just surprised me.

Thanks!

So, I played some CoX for the first time in a few months, now as a premium, and I noticed that I'm gaining Rest XP when logged off. That really shocked me, as I figured that was a VIP only perk.

Is that working as intended?

I also wondered if that is something unlocked for purchase time, such as controllers...

This thread got my attention, as I'm currently playing that game.

I reallllly miss Recall Friend, Mission Teleporters and Flight. The travel is crazy. I also miss sidekicking. Having to keep a pair close in level is just irritating. Not to mention the level pacts - did CoX ever bring those back?

What I will say, is the the story in that game is typically far superior to what I've seen in Cox. Now, there were the moments of glory in Cox's story, but that other game has, IMO, a better storyline overall.

My other big problem is that with it existing, I'm afraid that my wife has hit a breaking point with CoX, and I'm not sure she'll ever come back. While I like the other game, my time over there I think is convincing me that CoX is overall a better, more convenient game. Unfortunately, not playing with my wife trumps that. I'd rather play that other MMO with her, then CoX without her.

It's an interesting issue and I'm not sure what the answer is, as there is only so much time to play any MMO.

When the day comes that we fire CoX back up, we'll have to get the gunslinger pack for certain. Have a pair of female gunslingers who will desperately need it.

Haven't been in on a couple of months, but my best estimate is I'm a C and my wife is a D.

Happy Holidays!

I can almost taste the lambburgers....mmmm.

Nice to see prems can post now.

I still don't like the basic super pack idea, but at least there are other ways to get them.

Thanks for all of the information, folks.

I love my Banes, but I can live without them.

I want to make sure I have this correct.

As a Tier 9 VIP currently, if I drop to Premium, I'll lose the following:

Sig. story arcs.
First Ward contacts
Incarnate trials
Ability to craft Incarnate powers
Ability to use current Incarnate powers that are slotted
Level pacts will be broken
550 Paragon Points a month
Character slots available (in total, not per server) will drop to 2 + 2 for COV + whatever slots I've purchased

Is there anything else that I'm not thinking of?

From that list, I think I've done trials with 3 of your characters.

That is some really impressive numbers. I remember all of those uncommons at the start, ugh.

Nice work on this.
