PUSHED THE RED BUTTON
Stupid AE badge farmers. -
Paragon Points - The things you buy stuff in the Paragon Market with. Other than the initial issue with the Lump Grant in September and the delay it caused for some people (which should be completely gone now) in the first week and a half of the month, they seem to be awarding fine, aside from case-specific glitches, for VIPs. Never had any issue with them
Transfer Tokens - Tokens that let you transfer to another server. VIPs get one on the first of the month, I don't think anyone has had any issues witht hem
Rewards Tokens - the ones that get you things like costume sets and other bonuses, awarded at the end of the month for VIP subs when working right, and every 1200 points (NOT every $15 dollars, although it can frequently match up) - the ones for buy points seem to show up fine (requiring at most a log in/out or a couple minutes wait for the server to refresh) it's only the sub ones that have issues. And that's because of the legacy systems in the account system and NCSoft not rushing in and making crazy changes to it. -
Quote:Here is the flip side - if something is on Beta and not going live, they generally give us a heads up.Yeah, it's entirely probable that it was stated in a ustream, and I didn't catch it, especially since multiple people agree. I just like to have the source when possible, but I guess the Beta reality is pretty convincing at this point.
They've said nothing about anything being wrong with the shrub. -
Note that any powerset that shows up in the Paragon market with "VIP Content" in it's description will require a separate purchase to use as a premium (such as Demon Summoning or Time manipulation).
Demon Summoning and the other three Going Rogue powersets are already yours if you have added a GR box code to your account. -
Quote:They said a little while back - due to the issue with Rewards tokens awarding on the "Veteran Rewards" badge date and not up front with the start of the sub time, they are going to have Celestial stick around for at least a little bit to make up for that.They already have the next costume set that'll "replace" Celestial Armor out on the Beta server now. Thing is it looks like they are toying with the idea of just adding 3 new slots next to the Celestial Armor ones so it's not all together certain yet if the new set will strictly replace Celestial Armor or not.
As for a "Tier 10" I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon if ever. -
One - I found it fairly simple on how many tokens I was supposed to have at the transfer, but, YMMV.
Second, are you talking Paragon POINTS or Paragon REWARDS TOKENS? -
My bad, that is 36 ("There IS a fetish for <topic>"), not 34. Although 34 states that there are videos of people indulging in 36, basically.
-
Reminds me of the sliders episode (women with facial hair!!) where they slide after seeing a murder, to a world (no women with facial hair!!) running about a minute behind but otherwise identical.
-
Hmm, yes, good point - all "short term" click stealth is gone once broken, including the defense (the only long term one I can think of would be if there is one fro the SG base empowerment station)
-
The bit about the points works with what I said
If they were not subbed, then when they added the box code would become their renewal date. -
i don't know if the ability to purchase the IO license on live with merits ever worked - it was a leak from something they were thinking of in beta.
Unless you were already subbed, you should of got the points right away - the transfer tokens come at the first of the month regardless of when you subbed, and while some people who have had an uninterrupted sub since pre-Freedom seem to be having occasionally odd timings on it, the Reward token should be at the end of the month (based on how they have been awarding). -
A large number of stealth-granting powers, if they grant defense at all, will list them that way. The only ones I can think of that don't do the half defense in combat bit are all in armor sets like Dark Armor or Energy Aura.
-
IIRC, any global slots you assigned to a server when you were premium will remain locked to that server (haven't done prem-VIP-prem myself yet) but they will be be place-able within the server.
As you have noticed, when you go VIP again it will give you 12 server based slots per server to use to unlock slots.
Just note that if you don't have a character uses a powerset or archetype you do not have unlocked as a premium (controller and Mastermind for low-level premiums, Epic ATs no matter what) it will let you unlock the slot but the character itself will still be locked. -
Quote:I don't recall them saying always, but the did state that Celestial will be along side Fire and Ice for a small while at least. The reason being how the system isn't awarding long-time subs upfront with their rewards tokens.Sounds like they must have re-thought it. Going purely from memory, someone (Posi? Black Scorpion? I forget) said that basically, once a second set is released, there will always be two available -- a "new" one and an "old" one.
And like I said, as of yesterday, that's what the Beta server is showing, too -- Celestial and Fire and Ice at VIP tier 9. -
My thought on the thread title was "Whatever I attack next after using a yellow inspiration".
And Captain Elec - that's Rule #34 -
Go and update the question via the website - even if if it is just "Still waiting" - it will auto-close after 72 hours.
-
Was that in-game support or via the website support?
And as long as the code adds something o your account other than time, it will work. So if you add a CoH or CoV CE, then try to add a normal CoH or CoV code, it won't work. -
By the way, you do not need the alpha unlocked in order to run the trials.

Quote:Who said the devs thought it our expectation?Devs need to check with players a bit more often about what our expectations are and not rely on what they "think" they might be because in doing so they are ALWAYS going to be wrong at some level.
This is an end game system - and it's not one where you are (without breakdown or respec) locked forever into a choice.
I personally never expected them to allow breakdown of the crafted powers. Nor do I now. -
The KB powers will get "impact" IIRC - kinda like containment but set by the target having KB protection (might only work with the set's own KB-protection producing powers, but still nice)
-
Where would the "Two businesses, names nearly the same, same type of restaurant, phone numbers only differing by one digit that is easy to fat-finger as the other's" phenomena go?
-
What was needed was the bizarre, freaky, yet strangely awesome SEMICOLON!

Quote:To be fair with the Zephyr nerf...lol yeah id almost forgotten that one. the age of way to easy to get soft cap def for all. Id never even touched those IO sets at the time and still dont really ever go for set def, more a global recharge guy myself. Now if they ever nerf LOTG 7.5 specials down to like 5% there will be hell to pay I tell you HELL!
Those were extremely odd builds from this - which was the main reason the devs set the bonus that high on a 3-piece bonus.
