Zwillinger already posted on this, there is no name purge in the works. Part of the plan for I21 is to lure former subscribers/players back into the game. It would be a real jerk move for Paragon Studios to invite former players back to the game and for them to come back only to discover that their names have been wiped out of their accounts. So no name purge in the future, and not likely to see one happen.

Yet Ghost Widow is still around. Honestly if the remains had some kind of control or influence over Ghost Widow then MAGI would have used it along time ago. In Seer Marino's arc GW explains that she is anchored to the Arachnos Organization itself and can't be destroyed unless Arachnos itself was destroyed. So I really don't think her bones have any kind of power. I'd say that if a Shivian bound itself to her remains it would be like the ones found in Bloody Bay.

Hello developers. Please don't forget the inclusion of a Vanguard Titan Weapon later this year when you release the Titan Weapons set. Thanks!
Want an example? Here, I just made this!
, please Devs don't forget to include a Vanguard version of a Titan Weapon. Also for me, bAss_ackwards design reminds of Megatron's Sword from the Energon series.

I think it was mentioned that Time Manipulation would also buff/debuff other buff/debuffs. The only thing I can imagine is the it could make buffs last longer and debuff effects shorter.

First, thanks so much to the peeps transcribing from FB. Really, I owe you one.
No problem it was something to do while I was at work, and here's part 2 of today's CoH Freedom Q&A. This was better than the 1st one. Telling people what the topic of today's discussion was, The Paragon Points system, and trying to keep things on track as best as they could.
Q. VIPs will start earning points in July, what will we have to buy with them that won't already be included with being a VIP?
A. We haven't announced everything that will be in the Paragon Market at Freedom's launch, but you can get a good idea of some of the things to look forward to in Ghost Falcon's forum thread: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=264018 Also, players will be able to check out the Paragon Market later this year with the I21 beta!
Q. how will purchasing veteran rewards work? price wise, what's the increment you can buy them in, etc?
A. We'll be discussing more specifics about things you can purchase in the Paragon Market in the future.
Q. Will all purchases be solid unlocks or are you going the consumable route?
A. There will be both unlocks, as well as items that have a one-time use.
Q. Will unlocks be account wide, or will some be per character?
A. Certain items in the Paragon Market, such as costume pieces, will be account-wide. Other items will be single-character use.
Q. Is there a tread for what WILL be included for VIPs?
A. There is a side-by-side comparison that shows some of the things VIPs will get here: http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/fre...r_choices.html As the topic of this Freedom Friday is about Paragon Points, please note that starting this month, all VIP players (subscribers) will begin receiving a stipend of 400 Paragon Points per month!
Q. How much will say 100 paragon points buy? A costume piece? An emote? And what will say 1000 paragon points buy? A new power set or something really big and cool like such?
A. Currently, the target prices for something like a costume piece might be between 20-100 points. A bundle of costume pieces, such as the Magic Costume Set, might cost you 400 Paragon Points. The target price for an emote might be 40 Paragon Points. These are just examples, and prices are subject to change.
Q. do the 400 Paragon Points per month for VIPs expire at the end of the month or do they stack?
A. The points will stack, and you will never lose points--even if you switch to being a Premium player instead of a VIP player. Beginning this month subscribers can build up their Paragon Points before City of Heroes Freedom launches!
Q. How will the transition to F2P and tiered membership affect level pacting? E.G. I assume that VIP will be able to create and maintain with other VIP members, but what about Premium or Regular players. Will they be able to pact, and if not, will level pacts be broken if one account drops from a VIP status? (as in the way it works now) Also, will the max level for creating a pact be raised above 5?
A. Certain questions we can't answer right now because we're still rolling out information. We'll try and let you know what things we can and can not answer. For today's Freedom Friday, please try and keep all questions limited to Paragon Points.
Q. As there is quite a bit to read, did I read that paragon points start accumulating sometime this month? I know I saw a July date for something, I just cant remember what it was =)
A. That's right! Starting this month, subscribers will begin receiving their stipend of 400 Paragon Points per month. This way, when the Paragon Market goes live, you'll already have points built up!
CoH - Regarding the gifting suggestion, there are currently no plans for it, however we are aware that it's being requested.
Q. Will new Base Items be available for purchase with Paragon Points? Can we spend points to extend our VIP time? If we spend the points, could a character have all four Veteran Attack Powers? (Sands of Mu, Ghost Slaying Axe, Nemesis Staff, and Blackwand?)
A. At this time we are not planning on allowing customers to purchase VIP Subscription time with Paragon Points.
Q. Anything crazy planned? Like buying levels or in-game item packs (like a full IO set) ?
A. There are no plans at this time to allow customers to purchase levels, i.e. There are no plans to create an Instant Level 50 or Instant Level 25 character Microtransaction service.
Q.Is there plans to convert Paragon Points into something else? For example use saved up points to use for additional play time?
A.There are no plans to allow players to use Paragon Points to purchase VIP subsciption time.
Q. My concern is this will spell the end of free updates to the game for things like costumes, and emotes, as they will all get funneled into this new system. Is there anything you can do the waylay my concerns on this?
Q. my concern is that the trend will hit where most of the content released in an issue will be a couple adventures for each tier, the VIP Content (new trial or adventure) and then store content. They will panacea us with "well you got all this cool stuff already" or "use your paragon points from your VIP subscription!" but it will be in the end us purchasing the items from microtransaction. I dislike that idea for City whose primary attraction has always been the costume editor, and the ability to make your hero look as you please, but the pattern has been in place for awhile with booster packs, and unlockable content. I just want to know that we will still get costume updates, without having to microtransaction or grind our brains out...
A. With future Issues, Paragon plans to always support the introduction of free updates for VIP customers, because our VIP customers will always continue to be the cornerstone of our business. VIP Customers will receive a lot of various content at no additional cost including, but not limited to, Signature Story Arcs, Incarnate Content, new costume pieces and power sets.
City of Heroes Freedom not only allows players the Freedom to pick and choose items, powers and costumes that *they* want, but it also allows Paragon the Freedom to release items, powers and costume by themselves without having to create a thematic bundle.
For example, if we wanted to release a Towel Cape or a Panhandle helmet (NOTE: WE ARENT!! THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE!), Paragon would not have to create an accompanying thematic power to justify the release of a Towel Cape or Panhandle helmet.
Q. So aside from subscribing and having a credit card on file. What other ways can players purchase additional points? Can additional Paragon Points be purchased via PayPal transaction, check or money order purchase, or is it a straight up credit/debit card transaction for Paragon Point purchases?
A.We will be offering various ways to purchase Paragon Points, including credit/debit cards and PayPal.
Q. where will thes points accumulate,, in other words,, where can I see them?
A. You'll be able to see your point balance in the Paragon Market once Freedom launches. You'll have a chance to acquaint yourself with the Paragon Market layout during the I21 beta later this year!
Q. You all mentioned that we start earning points as of today. I understand that we cannot use them yet, but like this person's question, will be be able to see them once earned?
A. You will not be able to see your Paragon Points just yet. When the Paragon Market opens, you'll be able to see your balance.
Q. Is there a cap on how many Paragon Points an account can have?
A. No, there is no cap on how many Paragon Points you can have. -
Here's Part 1 of the Q&A that the CoH team answered.
Q. What was the big deal with 7/1? I thought something big was getting released today.
A. No releases today, but an update to Issue 20 was recently released on the live servers!
Q. Will there be any more maps?
A. City of Heroes Freedom will release with Issue 21: Convergence, which will have new zones, as well as some changes to existing maps!
Q. There has been hopeful speculation among players that the Paragon Points can be used to buy some of the new auras that came with i20.5 (Please note, not talking about the Ascension Armor Sets). Is this mere hoping from players or have you thought of also intergrating those auras/emotes/costume change emotes in the Paragon Store?
A. We’re not discussing a lot of specific examples aside from the ones we’ve already given in this thread here Well have a lot more details on the Paragon Market very soon and you’ll be able to check it out for yourself in Open Beta!
Q. For VIP members, will the paragon points stack each month? So we can save up if we don’t wish to buy extra?
A. Your Paragon Points will stack. Beginning this month, current subscribers will begin receiving 400 Paragon Points per month, which will continue to stack as long as you remain subscribed!
Also, just so you all know, your points will never expire, even if you’re not a VIP player. You’ll continue to receive a stipend of 400 points while you’re VIP, but if you become a Premium player, you KEEP those points you’re earned.
Q. Can Paragon Points be used to purchase badges… like the invention badge, etc.
Q. Will any existing badges be for sale with Paragon Points?
A. We do not plan on selling badges
Q. Oh, also: will character renames be purchasable with Paragon Points? If so, can you reveal how many?
A. We plan on making our current account services available in the Paragon Market, including renames.
Q. Wait, beginning this month… does that mean Paragon Points can be spent now???
A. Paragon Points are not spendable until we transition to Freedom. Consider them money in the bank for now
.
Q. Will the P-Points also interlock like poker chips? Because points that fall over are so terribly messy.
A. Depends… can you do poker chip tricks?
Q. Is there a place where I can just read about Paragon Points?
A. Jesse “Ghost Falcon” Caceres elaborated on Paragon Points and the Paragon Market in this forum thread
Q. Will there be a mechanism to either buy points and/or store points and gift them to other players?
A. We don’t’ currently have plans for “gifting” option, however we do know it’s a requested feature.
Q. If you subscribe to CoH in August will you be able to obtain Paragon Points the following month?
A. VIPs will receive Paragon Points every month as part of their subscription
Q. What are we, as VIP players going to get apart from what has been released (monthly story arc, 400 PP’s per month) in regards to eg. Content? Are we going to have to buy any and all new powersets that comes out with PP’s for instance?
A. One of our stated goals is for the VIP subscription to receive even more content than you currently do for your monthly sub. There’s going to be a ton of content included with a VIP sub, and yes there will be additional things available for purchase in the Paragon Market, which you can spend your 400 PP per month on.
Q. Are things that you buy with PP accountwide, or character specific? Costume pieces, ect
A. Most things you can purchase from the Paragon Market, such as costume pieces, will be account-wide. There will be character-specific items you can purchase in the Paragon Market, but many will be account-wide.
Q. What does Time Manipulation do?
A. Time Manipulation is a buff/debuff set for Controllers, Defenders, Corruptors, and Masterminds
Q. Thanks for the Answer Also, could you please enlighten us about how the Paragon Market Works with unlocking the veteran rewards? If for exampled I would want to unlock the 54 months veteran badge and the 63 month veteran badge, Would I be able to buy the 63 month badge and rewards first, or would I have to follow “chronically”? Or does it work a completely other way, where every veteran badge/reward can be bought independent of each other for a specific amount of points?
A. The Paragon Market is not the same as unlocking Veteran Rewards. That will be unlocked through the revamped Vet Rewards Program – The Paragon reward Program.
Please remember, today’s topic is Paragon Points! Thanks for helping us keep Freedom Friday on Topic!
Q, Will the free transfers start accumulating now along with the points?
A. Character Transfer Tokens will start accumulating when Freedom launches. The 400 Paragon Points per month is the only thing Players will be accruing up to City of Heroes Freedom’s launch.
Q. Will we be able to buy PPs using time cards, similar o buying NCoins for Exteel? Love the game, going annual again
A. Ghost Falcon is working on a post covering that question. We should have an answer for your soon
Q. Can you tell us more about Dual Weapons or Time Manipulation?
A. We’re discussing Paragon Points today. We’ll delve more into the new powersets in the future.
Q. Will it be possible to buy I.O. sets with paragon points??????
A. We’re not discussing specific examples of what will be for sale in the Paragon Market outside of what was already mentioned in thread
Q. In which direction does Paragon Point?
A. Towards lunch!
Q. Has there been a Paragon Point per dollar value set, for purchases above the monthly 400 points for the VIP members?
A. There will be bundles of Paragon Points that you can purchase. Please check Ghost Falcon’s thread here for more info!
Q. Will they get me a big-mac?? lol
A. 400 Paragon Points is about the cost of a Big Mac Meal
Q. Will VIPs have to spend Paragon Points for new powersets like the Free and Premium players?
A. While we’re not getting into specifics regarding it; While the VIP sub will have a ton of content included with it, there will be things that are not included with the VIP service (Just as the Super Boosters currently are). That’s what the monthly stipend is for! Those 400 points are yours to spend as you see fit.
Q. Is there anything that describes the Paragon Rewards system in a bit more detail?
A. We’ll be releasing more information on the Paragon Rewards Program in the coming weeks
Q. Do points expire?
A. Nope PP do not have a shelf life
Q. Will we be information on upcoming purchases in a reasonable amount of time (eg. So we can save up our monthly stiped before a purchase becomes available)?
A. Players will have access to the Paragon Market during the Beta Process. You’ll be able to get a gander as to what’s currently available and that should give you an idea for what could be coming down the road
Q. Are the 400 points I get each month for my sub going to be enough to get anything worth having every month, or am I going to have to save them to get something more expensive like, example the Nemesis Staff?
A. You can see an example of some items might appear in the Paragon Market, and a current estimate of how many Paragon Points they’d cost, in this thread
Q. Is there anyway to earn Paragon Points while playing the game. Like completing a really tough taskforce?
A. We have no current plans for this
Q. Are the 400 points I get each month for my sub going to be enough to get anything worth having every month, or am I going to have to save them to get something more expensive like, example the Nemesis Staff?
A. We’re confident you’ll find that your 400 points per month will afford you plenty of content. How you chose to spend them will be entirely up to you however
Q. Perhaps this has been discussed, but can you give us examples of things that WON’T be available for purchase via PPs? There was a great thread in the official forums, but I’m not talking about things like “Pie” or “Positron’s sanity”.
A. Sorry, we’re not discussing any specific examples of what will/won’t be in the Paragon Market aside from the examples given in Ghost Falcon’s thread
Q. What happens if I accidently purchase something off the paragon market? Is there a confirmation before purchase or a refund option for accidental purchases?
A. We’re looking to build a great user experience with the Paragon Market, taking usability concerns such as yours into account. Be sure to check it out once we open up the beat to a larger group of players.
Q. Roughly how many NEW (not already existing in-game or through current booster packs) costume pieces are planned to be in the store when CoH Freedom/I21 launches?
A. Roughly, more than a few.
Q. Can you guys tell us what season it will be when i21 comes out?
A. It will be one of the seasons later in the year.
Q. Any utility power stuff going into the store, like that 30 day jetpack?
A. As Freedom nears closer to release we’ll be talking more about which items will be available in the Paragon Market.
Q. Do the PPs have a general dollar equivalent? For example, 400PP will be equal $1 of purchasing power etc…
A. 400 Paragon Points are equivalent to $5.00 USD -
I'll believe it when I see it

Kind of have to agree here. He wasn't as front and center, but he was pulling strings, working the plan and if he wasn't injured, Sentinal Prime wouldn't have been able to cheap shot him at the end... I never saw him as a lackey in this movie ,just not at his full strength.
Sure Megs might have created the plan for the space bridge, and set things in motion but it was Sentinel Prime that was control of the whole thing. Sure I'll agree he wasn't at full strength and that's probably the reason why Sentinel smacked him around in that one scene. However during the Autobots assault in Chicago it was Sentinel that was commanding the Dececpticons troops, and where was Megatron? Was he in the heat of battle spilling Autobot fluid? Nope he was moping in an alleyway. Sorry but when you let some guy come on board your army and smack you around in front of your troops, and start giving commands, and holding a pity party in an alleyway. You've been reduced to lackey status. -

Hasbro seems want to make a fourth, with Megatron being wasted, unlike the novel puts them in a position where all popular or potential leader chaarcters for bad guys are gone. Shockwave was silent thug number 7, and probably should just been subbed with Sixshot and held off till later. I guess they needed a red herring villain to claim was the big bad for the trailers. Guess Thunderwing or Jhiaxus for part 4 heh?
-
So just came back from seeing an early showing of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and found myself liking this one and having a good time. It's a Michael Bay film, so it's going to have its faults but I feel that Dark of the Moon manages to hold up as an entertaining popcorn summer film.
Well the early showing was in 3D, and I was okay with it. The one thing that kind of made me enjoy the 3D version was supposedly that filming this movie in 3D forced Bay to ease up on his style of filming, which is shaky cam, ton of explosions, and lots of stuff moving fast in just about every direction possible. I was kind of shocked that I could follow the action of the movie.
Here are the issues that I had with Dark of the Moon.
Once again Megatron plays the role of lackey to the new big bad in the film. To me, in Transformers lore Megatron is the Big Bad 'Bot on the Block and plays lackey to no one. In this one he's just here to serve as a typical plot device in the final act, and oddly enough people in the theater cheered when it happened.
The final act also had Optimus Prime take on a tone that I just didn't agree with. Again to me, Optimus Prime has always been the guy to value life and show compassion, he would even show mercy to his enemies. To hear him say "They Must die" or "He must die" just didn't sit well with me. I guess someone can say with the events that happened kind of hardened him and made him realize that with war hard choices have to be made, but to me it's just not in Optimus Prime's nature.
As usual with this being a Michael Bay film he throws in some characters that have quirks to bring some comedy into the movie. There were new characters in the film like this and I honestly think the movie could have done without 2 of them. Also some continuity issues with the first film, but it's a Michael Bay film so what can you do, aside from ignoring it.
So overall I thought the move to be good, it's what you would expect from a summer popcorn flick and would recommend seeing in the theaters. -

Went back and copied all the questions that the CoH team answered, left out the ones that were answered by other people. So here's the list of questions answered by the CoH team for their first Freedom Friday Facebook Q&A.
Q. How many costume pieces are planned on being added to I21/Freedom's release? Just the old booster pack pieces or new ones?
A. There will be a new Defense costume set and an IDF costume set.
Q. With the new Paragon Points System, will we get respecs, or even better, powerset reselection as an availiable service
A. Respecs will be a part of the Paragon Rewards Program, and will also be available in the Paragon Store
Q. Can you give more information on the new Time Manipulation power?
A. Time Manipulation is a buff/debuff powerset for Controllers, Defenders, Corruptors, and Masterminds
Q. So if Premium players will continue to have access to GR due to already purchasing it, does that mean we can do tips or change alliance?
A. If you purchased Going Rogue, you have access to the Going Rogue content as a Premium Player
Q. What happens to unclaimed Veteran reward bonuses (Tailor sessions, respecs, pets, base items) when Freedom goes live? What happens to Unused extra character slots that haven't been assigned to specific server when Freedom goes live?
A. You will be able to claim all of your Veteran reward bonuses in the new system. Unused character slots will become Global Tokens that you can assign to serviers
CoH: For those of you wondering about pricing, a VIP subscription to City of Heroes Freedom is the same price as your current subscription
Q. Why are returning users, the "Premium Players" I should say, only get 2 character slots? I played/paid and just can't afford it anymore... I would like to keep all my characters/character options availiable.
A. Premium players will have two Global Slot Tokens, plus one token for every 12 months subscribed. If you have purchased Going Rogue before Freedom launches, you will receive 2 slots from that. You will also have tokens for any slots you've purchased.
Q. Second Measure just mentioned that unlocking Masterminds or Controllers on a free account will take the three year veteran reward. Can it also be purchased by a Premium player, ala carte?
A. Controllers and Masterminds are unlocked when you reach the requisite number of Paragon Reward Tokens -- about 3 years worth for veteran players. You will be able to purchase these archetypes through the Paragon Store.
Q. Will the monthly server change tokens given be stackable or use them or lose them like the new freespecs?
A. The monthly Character Transfer Tokens you acquire WILL stack. You're free to save them up!
Q. Let's say that I drop down to premium. I unlock my character slots. I then resubscribe, which of course unlocks everything again, and then I let my subscription lapse again. Do I go back to having the slots I previously unlocked, or do I rechoose after I've resubscribed and lapsed again?
A. If you drop down to Premium and unlock slots, resubscribe (become a VIP player), then decide to become a Premium player again, you get to rechoose.
Q. What if you already have a mastermind and paying for Sub??? It won't be like snatched from me right??
A. If you have a mastermind and are a VIP player (subscribling to City of Heroes Freedom), you will not lose your mastermind. If you are a VIP you have access to everything you currently have. (Plus more when Freedom launches!)
Q. ... so we ask questions?
A. Yes, please ask your questions about City of Heroes Freedom in the comments here
Q. Is there a link that explains all these new changes?
A. You can check out the overview of of City of Heroes Freedom here The overview talks about the new content, rewards, and choices in City of Heroes Freedom, as well as showing a side-by-side comparison of what Free, Premium, and VIP players have access to!
Q. When does it go live? did it already? I am soooo out of the loop!
A. City of Heroes Freedom launches later this year! Please look foward to it
Q. Any Info on the new Time power set?
A. Time manipulation is a buff/debuff set for Controllers, Defenders, Corruptors, and Masterminds
Q. There seems to be a misunderstanding on the content. Some people are thinking that you will get more for paying. in other words they seem to think you will be placing out more content then you already are at this point... Are you going to pump out more content then you are currently for payers of the game then you have in the past?
A. VIP subscribers will receive even more content than they currently do as part of their monthly subscription. One of our driving goals is to increase the value of the VIP subscription for our veteran players.
Q. I am a former subscriber, and hope to be again soon. I have 13 toons. AS A FREE PLAYER, which ones will be available for me to play?
A. As a Free Player, you will have access to two global slots -- two slots total that you can use on any server. PLUS any bonus global slots you might have earned as a veteran player (one per year), two global slots if you purchased Going Rogue befoer City of Heroes Freedom launches, and any character slots you have previously purchased. You will be able to assign any of your toons to these slots except for VEATs, EATs, Controllers and Masterminds, unless you have the requisite number of Paragon Reward Tokens, or have purchased these ATs in the Paragon Market
Q. Will there be any assistance for the returnning players to help them bridge the gap between when they left and the newer content? I struggled a bit when my son and I returned, but I at least had full use of the forums. What help will be there for returning vets?
A. All players will have access to the /help channel in game, which will allow them to receive support from their fellow players. Players will also have access to the City of Heroes Knowledge Base. VIP players will receive premium in-game customer support. We will be discussing this more in the future.
Q. Any word on a release/launch date?
A. City of Heroes Freedom will launch later this year!
Q. Exactly how many Paragon Reward tokens do you need to unlock VEATs, EATs, Controllers, and MM's. My husband and I played for between 3 1/2 to 5 years on our several accounts. Will this be enought time to unlock these???????????
A. Please check this url
Q. Is the new Galaxy City tutorial closed off or is it an open zone experience like Nova Praetoria? Will high level heroes and villains be able to return there after they leave?
A. The new tutorial is like Outbreak and Breakout: you don't go back once you leave.
Q. I have a Question about premium players and long time players of the game, I had a supergroup already with my main character, and premiums can't form, so will I still retain SG base and leadership of it?
A. The vast majority of Premium players should still be able to form Supergroups and maintain their bases.
Q. Is a life subscription model being looked at or even considered?
A. We're not currently considering the option of offering Lifetime Subscription
Q. The new "Tiered Download" system coming to help new players jump straight into the game will allow them to work on creating their characters(s) while the rest of the game downloads. Will we be finally get a standalone costume creator as part of this?
A. There are currently no plans for a standalone character creator at this time.
Q. WILL A SUPERLEADER OF AN SG BE ABLE TO KEEP THAT LEADERSHIP IF HE OR SHE DECIDES TO PLAY FOR FREE???
A. Many Subscribers who become Premium players will be able to form SGs beacuse of the Paragon Rewards benefits -
Quote:That problem can easily be resolved by listing what questions were already asked and answered by the CoH team. I'm hoping they do that on the next Friday Q&A. Surely it can't be hard to say "Here's what was already asked and our answers to them. Any new questions?"Originally Posted by Sapphire7
Part of the problem is that a lot of people are asking the same questions over and over. The Devs are answering the ones that they feel are the most important, and are causing the most stress. If people are continuing to ask questions that have already been answered, that means that question has obviously not been answered enough times...
