Tutelary

Luckily threads cannot make you go bald. That would be a bold move by the OP to try and make such a thread though.

I was going to say that was the avatar I remembered.

Enjoy the Stalker changes. So good, my stalker that was languishing in the 30s for a couple years is now only a level away from 50. Also, I don't think I saw anyone mention it but did you read about Staff Fighting coming out next Tuesday? I envy all the choices you have ahead of you. The one good thing about going away for a while is having so many new shinies when you return.

I just about pulled the trigger back then with 4 slots still available and had asked myself the same question. Glad I waited. Got another 5 so I'm set on slots for awhile now.

Just waiting for storage sales now.

tldr; people are reading way too much into the suggestion. It is simply informing PS what I'm willing to pay for as a Premium player.

Believe me, I've tried broadcasting, sending tells, etc for hours. I found one person, didn't expect them to stay in the SG but they did but now he hasn't shown up for a couple months and is on hide. I know this because I saw him in one of my global channels yet not on global friends list. We barely talked so either he decided he didn't want to pay base upkeep anymore or just doesn't care. Anyways, it is not as easy as some make it out to be.

The reason I never posted on the forums was that I wasn't sure PS wanted me saying "hey, would someone mind paying my upkeep on my existing base?" I feel like I am asking to help avoid the $15/month, which I am. I'm just not interested in Incarnates or the other freebies enough to pay the monthly fee and there is something about the appeal of buying once and having permanent access. But I would be willing to pay a smaller monthly license fee like AE and Inventions.

Since many thought this game would never go f2p and have a cash shop, I will keep asking from time to time for microtransactions more suited to me. I may eventually shell out for the extra storage for characters but right now, I can't justify what I consider exorbitant prices. I like bases and they are fun, but not $15 fun. You may consider that nothing but I enjoy the free play even though I shelled out $65 in points since Freedom started. Yes, I could have bought a few months play but I doubt there is a way I could make anyone in this thread understand my choices.

I'm not trying to argue or rally against others wishes which is what it feels like when reading the reply of some very vocal forumites. If others like to make snarky comments or imply I'm stupid in some way, can't ask for help, etc and the message gets lost then there is not much I can do about it except to continue letting a business know where I will open my wallet from time to time. I appreciate the VIP value argument as well but hopefully it clarifies where I'm coming from. I don't see this so much as a subscription game anymore.

Thanks for the reply and helpful info, Texas Justice. I'm assuming the place to post the request is in Player Help since I do not have access to the server forums?

And thanks Obsidian Light, I did send you a tell.

I'd rather see this than Steelclaw's suggestion. No offense to his suggestion as it was well thought out but it is not how I would personally like to see temp powers evolve. I'd rather get the variety proposed above.

I think it brings up a good point. If we continue to see some of these powers change after a few months, it may cause some players to hesitate and not buy an item. This is only in regards to changes where we might be left scratching our head at why such a minor power needs to be modified. At that point, we have to research why a change was made in hopes we understand why it was done, accept it and move on. That is, if we can even find that info. Otherwise, you are just PO'd because that was not what you initially paid for and may have not bought it. I never read an official dev post on the changes to Inner Inspiration and the buff pets so it was all second hand player info.

Yep, that's the one. I can't post in that thread though. But I agree with Rigel Kent. Not sure why this change was implemented or how people were abusing it. Just like the change to the inherent buff pets to a toggle, it seems unnecessary. But keep punishing the majority of your players for the acts of a few.

I can't complain too much though since I'm playing for free so will just let my character time-out after using Inner Inspiration as RK suggested.

This is why I buy very little in the store. I look at the price of just one item, compare it to what I got in City of Villains and Going Rogue, each around $40, and I just can't bring myself to buy much(SSAs at $5 each? no thank you). Powersets are about the only thing I buy. For the price of 5 or 6 items, I might as well go buy another game or subscribe for a couple months to another, more recent MMO.

But, to anyone having fun with all these new items and buying a lot, thank you very much. I'm very happy to be a Premium player.

Cool artwork on the alignment token though.

Found it. Thank you.

yes, I bought a pack and got the facemask and chest pieces. the only one I can't find now is the facemask.

Thank you, I was wondering about that. I didn't claim it but that is good to know.
