    Well, actually, Premiums players can post here, so yeah, we will have to put up with them.
  2. I had the same issue. I finally noticed the Barbarian set on the first page of Costume bundles, before you go into the Fantasy section, and was able to purchase it there.

    I certainly hope they meant monthly on your billing date, because if they actually mean at the end of my subscription, they are going to have a lot of really pissed off customers.

    Its the fishy smell I think, just sort of hangs there, never really goes away. Even the sewers can't cover it up.

    While I sorta agree with the idea of a Market forum, I don't think an Incarnate forum would work that well. Yes you could have a place for all discussions about the Incarnate powers and tactics for trials and such. But those discussions already fit into other sections of the board. There are threads in the AT sections on what what Incarnate powers to pick with particular powerset combos, tactic discussions on the Master of badges in the Badge section, and general guides on all of it in the Guides section.

    Having it all in one place might seem like it would be easier to find, but the reality is it would be spreading the experts out more. Some folks post all over the boards and are knowledgeable about many areas of the game. But others are more focused and only hit their area of interests. You would lose their knowledge because they are only interested in Incarnate stuff as a peripheral subset of their main focus.

    Many ways have been suggested, both in the beta forum and here in this very thread. And it seems that the Devs/Marketing have already decided on the method they will use. To gain access to Incarnate stuff, you just need to pay $12 - $15 a month for a subscription (Depending on length of subscription). They make money, the players get access to Incarnates. Everybody is happy.

    Yes, if you buy an 30 day IO license, you have access to the complete IO system.

I feel an example is in order to overcome my vague definitions.
    I don't know it any of that will work for you or not. I was pretty much just adding my experiences to the UI color change list. But I did notice last night while on a Manticore TF that my fog of war was acting up. Only parts of the various zones were cleared, and I know I have cleared all of them with Reveal when I got the added exploration badges in each zone.

    I started actually logging out of the forums, not just closing my browser or going to a different page. Since then it has been much better about keeping me logged in and taking me to new posts since my last visit.

    I use all 4 of the additional chat windows and have most of all the windows on my UI moved around. Usually once a play session, I will zone and it will all be reset to the standard UI.
    When you enter the mission map with no fog of war, are you on a team? If a teammate uses their reveal on a map before you enter the mission, it clears the mission for you too.

    I have 3 extra chat windows open, one for the Combat Monitor numbers, and from 1-3 extra power trays on all my characters. I have had the color changes I described earlier, but never had the entire set up revert to the standard UI.
  8. Subject to the SCR, I like it. Would make some things easier and open using costumes more on different characters.
  9. I haven't had the second problem so far, but I have heard others reporting it. For the first, I have been using the Options load button to get some setting across all of my characters as I have played them since I21 launched. After I have loaded the chat, windows, and options files, my UI is blue or red, depending on the side.

    Without changing anything else, the first time I zone it goes back to what I had on that character before. The options and other stuff stays the same, just the window color changes, and only to what I had it set at for that character. And I don't have a problem with it from then on. Something in the options set up is doing it, no idea why.

    This isn't EVE, we're not playing Spaceships & Spreadsheets. This is a casual, pick up and play MMO.
    The first time I ran Keyes, the only instructions I got were during the trial, the leader would shout out what needed done on each stage as we hit it. Detailed instructions aren't really necessary for any of the trials to succeed. For getting badges, yes, work out the details and give instructions before hitting the queue. But for succeeding at the trial in general, you just need people that will listen to what needs done as you go and will work together to do it. Not have 24 soloers as Arcanville points out.

    I am still betting on Wednesday at the earliest, to allow for problems showing up from the publish on Tuesday. Thursday wouldn't surprise me. But Friday would be too late, unless there were some big problems from the publish.

    Well, $15 worth of Points in the market can get you a license for IOs for about 8 months. And it would get you 2 more Reward Tokens, 1 for first Points purchase, 1 for 1200 points purchases. $5 in points would give you a couple months and 1 Token for your first purchase. Not that bad a price.

    About the other stuff, yes you should have 6 Global Unlocks for your slots, assuming you had not used any before you stopped subscribing. If you are missing any, you should contact Customer Support directly.

    The power not working sounds like a bug, you should /bug it in game or post in the Bug Report sub-forum here on the forums.

    Well, I will certainly concede it always applies for me any time I am talking about how the game works and changes it should have. But not so much when say Arcanaville is talking about how the defense system works and changes that should be made in it. It's all relative.

    I have found that I have received many perks for my many years of subscribing to this game. And I even used real money for those years of subscription. I will continue to get more perks for subscribing rather than dropping to Premium. So I guess the company has that idea down pretty well.

    Now on my second account, it doesn't have as many perks, because it only has a few months of subscription time. And as a Premium, it will not get the same kind of perks as my active account. And that seems to be working pretty much the way they want. If I want more perks for that account, that account has to spend money. The same way my main account got those perks.

    $15 in Points gets them 2 Reward tokens and around 8 months of the IO license. Versus 1 month of subscription and 1 Reward token.

  17. There isn't a bundle to purchase everything that was in GR at once. You need to purchase the Alignment system, the costume parts, emotes, auras, the powersets, and access to Praetoria all separately, The cost for all of that is much higher than the cost of a box. And the box would give you a month free and a Reward Token. If you only want a couple of things, like starting in Praetoria and the Alignment system, you can probably get them cheaper in the Market.

If there had been some kind of smile on it, it would have come across as a joke, but since there isn't, you apparently are serious about it, and therefore you are being insulting. Since you seem to feel strongly about personal insults, maybe you should apologize?

    Thus, hideous.
    Well, if you are using the Zombie skins, you can change it. Just add this in:

    Code:
    /* Change color and size for user name in a post */
         #posts a.bigusername > span {
           color: #95e65b !important;
           font-size: 15px !important;
          }
    and everyone will go back to the green color.

    No worries. It will be 641.8 years before it hears the summons, then another 641.8 before it can get here. I figure I will be dead and buried a good 50 or 60 years before that.

    And I like running both of them. Having a variety of trials is good. I would get bored stiff running nothing but BAFs and Lambdas. But having different challenges on the different trials means none fo them get stale for me.

    Unfortunately, in Ouro, you don't get a choice as to which contact you use. They just give you one. And for this mission, it is the wrong one. Probably the easiest way for them to fix it is to switch the contact to Tony or Paula.

    That is cruel. But I like it.

    Second, thanks for pointing out where it was. I was looking under system unlocks, which clearly wasn't correct and obviously other people have missed or had to spend some more time looking for it (like yourself).
    I just wanted to point out, you need to use a global unlock to open the slot, then you need to unlock the AT. Just having the AT license is not enough to play them without using the slot unlock. (I realize you probably know this, but I have already ran into people in game that didn't, so I wanted to spell it out.)
