First I would recommend you do the Praetorian tutorial because there is a badge you can get there that you won't be able to get until completing an incarnate trial way later. http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Avid_Reader_Badge
If you want to complete as many stories as you can you'll need to turn off earning experience at certain levels. For the Nova Praetoria zone it would be level 10, Imperial city level 15, and Neutropolis is level 20.
Here is a small guide I found http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Tyger%27...tent_Run_Guide
As someone suggested, it is a good idea to use a character that can solo content fairly easily. What wasn't mentioned is one reason for this is the fact that Praetoria is pretty much dead in terms of player population. I could spend a whole day on a character there and see maybe 3-4 different players throughout the day. (I'm guessing the reason for the low population is the fact that Praetoria (Going Rogue) is only level 1-20 content.)
Hope this helps you get started.

Correction: Premium players can get salvage and recipe drops if they have purchased a 30 day invention license from the shop or are tier 7 in paragon rewards which earns them a permanent invention license.
If you are asking whether the drop rates are increased for a player that has access to the invention system while teamed with a player who doesn't, I would have to say no.
I believe how it works is that each player on the team has a set percentage on how often they receive items. Most likely an equal percentage and with the more players on the team, the less the percentage is for each player. It is a roll of the dice so-to-speak. If a player who happens to be assigned a salvage/recipe drop that they can not receive due to not having access to the invention system, then for that particular item, nobody receives anything. If they could, then a player who does have access to the invention system could make a whole team with all other players who don't, thus increasing that 1 player's chances of getting even more items. Would not be fair in my opinion. -

I have had my credit card renewed so I have first hand knowledge.
1. all of your characters become locked, you have to unlock them using your "global unlocks" that any "free" or VIP player can use. you can unlock an existing character or create a new one.
2. IOs and ATOs or any crafted IO will no longer work for you as if your slot was empty.
3. you can't email, AH, AE or use your SG base. not sure if you can trade anything but I know that nothing you can't use can be traded/gifted with you.
when you do finally put a new credit card on, your characters still look locked but when you try to unlock them it doesn't ask you if you want to use one of your global unlocks anymore and then you can play them as usual.
1. (I've never been VIP so I do not know how the character slot deal works when your sub lapses)
2. ATOs are NOT crafted. They will work whether or not you are VIP. IOs will work if you have purchased a 30 day invention license from the paragon market or have paragon reward tier 7 maxed out which gives you a permanent invention license. At the very least a new free player never subscribed can purchase paragon points and spend them on super packs in the paragon market and, if they are lucky, get ATOs. No invention license, or VIP membership, is required to use ATOs or enhancements you purchase from the paragon market. They are called 'Attuned' enhancements.
3. Not quite correct. If a VIP stops paying their subscription, at the very LEAST they will be reward tier 2 premium. At reward tier 2 premium you can use in game email, join a super group, or if you are the leader keep leadership and still be able to enter the base but a VIP SG member needs to pay base upkeep to my understanding, and yes you can even trade and receive/give gifts with other players, and play missions in AE but without any xp/inf/ticket rewards. Tier 4 premium gives you a lifetime auction license and allows you to earn inf/xp/ticket rewards in AE, tier 6 premium gives you a lifetime license access to everything about AE which includes creating your own stories/missions. (sadly there is no 30 day AE license to purchase from the paragon market)
To the OP, the whole point, as someone else said, about a VIP server is that you need to be VIP to access it. Do not worry though. I'm pretty sure your characters will still be there, you just can't play on them. But as pointed out, if you have any free server transfer tokens from your VIP membership you may be able to transfer them (come to Freedom if you can, we have cookies
). Or you can purchase a server transfer from the paragon market, but that is kinda pricy and if you can't pay your subscription I doubt you will have the funds to purchase a transfer for each character (unless a transfer token is on sale, it costs 800 paragon points, which would be about $10, and for $5 more you could just resub 
).
(Note to anybody that does not know: If you have spent any amount of money, either by subscribing for 1 month or more and your subscription lapsed, or purchased $5 or more in paragon points, you will automatically become a premium member permanently. The tier in paragon rewards you are at is determined by how long you subscribed (1 token each month) and/or for every 1200 paragon points you accumulate when purchasing (the free points you get from buying larger bundles do count).)

Quote:I'm well aware I may be selling it for less than what a vendor would give me. But I sell cheap because I want to give people a fair price and because someone else can use it. Your figures on what the prices "should" be are inaccurate in some situations. Some common salvage sells for way way too much, in my opinion. Luck Charms, Ancient Artifact, etc. Selling for 50k each on the low end, up to 400k or even 500k, just for some commons. I don't care what the player or vendor value is, I'm not going to rip people off like that. So what I sell it at is my choice. It's not always about the money.Originally Posted by Father Xmas
Since the Consignment House sells lowest ask to highest bid, posting salvage at 1 is one strategy. Of course this isn't effective if the bids are uniformly under the store's buying price (stores don't sell salvage, they buy, but I know what you meant).
Now if you want to earn minimally as much as if you simply dumped it at the store, then you should post commons at 277, uncommon at 1111 and rare salvage at 5555. -
Quote:I have a character with the word Xandra in it, but no idea what you mean by sp. I didn't realize the OP's character was that old lol.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Nope, it's just an ooooold character, Xandra (sp?) It is one of the few times they changed power orders once something made it live; to alleviate soloing/damage issues, the Tanker Tier4 four power (formerly Taunt) was swapped with an attack to help with damage chains.

Quote:Found the info and you are right about Attuned enhancements. http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/AttunedOriginally Posted by Rajani Isa
I seem to recall something like hitting +\- on the keypad while hovering over an enhancement to boost it.
And boosters work only on IOs - Attuned enhancements cannot be boosted.
As for your suggestion of the -/+, in Mids, it didn't work but thanks.
Edit: Talk about a coincidence. I clicked Help&Support in Mids in the top right and selected Go to Support/Discussion Forums. Once there I found that yesterday, prior to my post today, someone had asked the same question that I did. http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index....ic,4687.0.html
Someone had an answer that worked. Your suggestion was not quite correct but pretty close. OK. As per their suggestion for Mids, right click the slot to bring up the enhancement choice window. With your mouse over the enhancement you wish to add to the slot press the -/+ key to decrease/increase it. Then left click the enhancement to place it in the slot on the power.
Edit 2: I confirmed that ATOs can NOT be combined with enhancement boosters. When in the combine window, ATOs are greyed out and can not be placed in the bottom left slot to be combined. Others that I do have that can't be boosted either would be the Steadfast Protection Knockback Protection and Winter's gift as, I'm guessing, they count as 'procs' and procs can't be boosted. However, if it has another stat that can normally be boosted, that stat will be boosted but not the proc part. Example: you can use a booster on the LoTG Def/global recharge. The defense part will be boosted but the global recharge won't. -
Quote:*Open mouth, insert foot*Originally Posted by gameboy1234
The old GC and DA were previously accessible by Rogues, but not any more. Which is the issue.
OK my mistake. By way of Pocket D/Underground Imperial to get to Talos you could access old Dark Astoria, and by way of Pocket D you could access King's Row to get to old Galaxy City as a rogue. I checked around on the wiki and found this out. I believe I started playing since a couple days after the game went free-to-play so forgive the lack of knowledge. I was not here before Galaxy was destroyed.
The suggestion does make a lot of sense though. I see no reason why there is no Echo: Galaxy/DA in the villain Ouroborus. -
Quote:Is there a way in Mids I can set individual enhancements to +5? All I can see is clicking 'Slots/Enhancements' at the top then 'Set all relative levels to...' but that would set ALL enhancements to +5 at once. And I think it would be useless (if it could even be done) to use 5 boosters on enhancements such as the Steadfast Protection Def/Res and the Winter's Gift: Slow resistance since these seem to be a fixed percentage that does not change. I think even the level 10 versions are the same percentage as the max lever ones if I'm not mistaken.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
Okay, you're going to want more than just S/L defense and resistance. Energy defense in particular is VERY important to Willpower.
I'll explain why: You have very little Energy resistance, so any Energy attacks that hit you are going to hurt. A lot. Also, Willpower, as far as I'm aware, doesn't get any end drain resistance, which means any Electric attacks are going to drain your end bar dry in short order.
To that end, I would do a couple things with your build.
1) Split the Brute ATO between 2 different powers and use Catalysts on all of them for a whopping 10% S/L defense bonus between the two sets.
2) If the powers you put the ATOs in are Foot Stomp and Hurl (which I recommend), you can fill out the other 3 slots in each power with Eradication and Thunderstrike respectively for some more E/N defense.
3) Replace the full set of Gaussian's you have in Rage with 2 Rectified Reticle and 1 or 2 generic Recharge IOs. It will get you slightly more S/L defense and it will be recharging faster than with the full set of Gaussian's in there (Gaussian's seems designed more for toggle powers, due to it's low recharge enhancement and relatively high end reduction enhancement)
4) Swap the slotting of Health and Fast Healing. Fast Healing gives you more regen than Health does, so you're going to want it enhanced. The 3 uniques you have in there currently don't actually do anything to enhance the power itself. 2 generic Heal IOs that have been boosted 5 times should get you right to the ED cap on healing enhancement.
5) Take the slots you pulled out of Rage and put them in Mind Over Body. Then put 4 Reactive Armor in there and the Steadfast Res/Def. You don't need the KB protection or the set bonuses from all 3 Steadfast Protections, and your resistance will be much much higher with the Reactive Armor.
6) If you followed my advice in point 1, Put another 4 Kinetic Combats in KO Blow, and round out the power with 2 Basilisk's Gaze (use the ones that boost accuracy). That will give you a little more E/N defense.
Hope that helps a little bit. The rest of your build looks pretty solid to me.
Also, would it hurt to use 5 enhancement boosters on all enhancements I can boost? I have never used boosters before but I'm sitting on over 700 unclaimed boosters in character email from super packs.
P.S. I like your suggestions a lot. Boosts my resistance and defense quite a bit.
Edit: When I do select to have all enhancements set to +5 the ATOs are even set to that. Can boosters even be used on ATOs? -

Quote:I fail to understand that problem. Attuned set enhancements you buy in the paragon market are account bound and can be emailed to yourself but not traded or placed in the auction house. So "there's no way to account bind salvage" is a crock if you ask me. If they can do it with shop purchased enhancements, they should be able to do it with salvage.Originally Posted by Doctor Roswell
The devs are looking into what can be done. Last I heard, the "frontrunner" of all ideas being discussed was to allow us to at least transfer them to other characters on the same account... unfortunately, there's no way to account-bind salvage (it can only be marked as "untradable"), so the workaround will likely be to let us turn it in to incarnate merit vendors in Ouroboros and have a new one sent to us via global email.
But none of that is confirmed or promised yet, just what's sounding like the most likely action. -
First of all, Rogues and Villains can not enter hero side Ouroborus. Period. Second, Galaxy City and the old Dark Astoria were previously only accessible by heroes.

The latest version of Mids is 1.954. Are you using a much older version?
It also depends on your power set. For example: Taunt is available for the tanker power set Axe mastery at level 10 but for Ice melee it's available at level 4.
Is it possible you had the wrong build/power sets loaded in Mids? -
I have noticed that too but never thought much of it. Sometimes salvage I put in will take a while to sell so I always assumed it's because people are either too cheap to pay 10 inf each or nobody wants that particular salvage.
Edit: Corrected typo. -
Might be a corrupted game file. Open the NC Soft launcher, right click City of Heroes in the list in the left, or click the little arrow on the bar, and select Repair (consistency check). See if that helps.

I did that not too long ago. Switched a hero to rogue then villain so I could get the patron power pools unlocked for him, then switched back to hero. When you are rogue or villain while in a hero super group, you can't be in SG mode to earn prestige, or even enter the SG base. But the nice thing is you don't lose any prestige you accumulated before you switched, it just freezes. If you switch back you can reenter SG mode and continue to gain prestige.
Note: While being a rogue or villain in a hero super group, your character name turns red in the SG window. Everyone else shows up as blue text still. -

Basically what I'm going for is decent s/l defense/resitence, decent regen, decent recovery, definitely perma rage which I have achieved with hasten not running. Currently even without all the IOs from this build and no IOs slotted in some things Rage recharges before it expires without hasten running. I prefer to keep my patron pool in the build because I found I like the Elec Fence to immob+dot+end drain>ball lightning more dot+more end drain>then footstomp for an awesome combo.
What I'm going for is difficulty set to +0x3 or even +0x4 for basic missions. Would this build be viable for that? Suggestions are appreciated.
Edit: I prefer to stick with the powers I have chosen. I love the knockdown animation of Air Superiority and Fly+Afterburner is great for getting around (fly for theme. Costumes with wings wouldn't be the same otherwise. and Air Superiority instead of Hover because I can't use Footstomp or Hurl unless on the ground, and it meets the requirement to take Afterburner)

That *is* a rule and one they do enforce for everybody, VIP and F2P alike. No worries, you just didn't know about it. I'm sure no one will object to getting build advice here, the rules aren't like that.
(BTW, I did send a PM to Z-man, and he replied, basically, that he would consider it.)
BTW, did Zwill mention anything about the All Access Paragon Market section that he/she promised when they opened some of the forums to everybody back in December as I pointed out? -

Did I guess right? This was from the freedom /help channel about a SS/WP brute right? I'm sure if you post up a mids chunk people would be willing to critique it for you. I doubt the mods are going to make a big deal over having it here.
If it's really that big an issue you can post the mids info, I'll copy and paste it into the build forum and you can edit your post, then I'll just direct people to this thread to offer you feedback. Really though, I don't think the mods will do anything.

Quote:I have to agree with you guys. Recently on a forum post a mod had edited it and I received an email/message that, basically, it was against the rules to post a response I received in a support ticket. That is why I am asking what the rules are here so I don't get in trouble for posting somewhere or something that I shouldn't.Originally Posted by gameboy1234

You have a valid point; I'll PM Zwill in a moment and suggest that the Build Forum also be given all player access.
Nope, I vote for not against the rules in any way. It's a question, post away.
Don't forget to use Mids if you can: http://www.cohplanner.com/
I came to the player questions section because I told players in the help channel in game I wasn't VIP and asked if there was a section on the forums I could post my Mids build to get advice and ideas from experienced players and they suggested I post in the All Access: Player Questions section. But I didn't see any posts here with Mids builds and , although I think it would be a valid ask for help and a question, I didn't want to chance getting in trouble.
I really appreciate if anybody does suggest to a mod/dev to have an All Access section for posting builds but I doubt it will do any good at all as they seem to not care, in my opinion, about anybody BUT VIP players.
Take this for example: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=280403
Dated December 16, 2011. To quote Zwillinger: "Additionally, when we open the new Paragon Market forum it will be All Access". It's been almost 4 months now and I'm still waiting on that. As a person who buys a lot from the paragon market, I was looking forward to posting my suggestions and all on the forums relating to the market.
I have no desire to become VIP and get special/favorable/self entitled treatment, but have spent a lot of money/willing to spend more on paragon points. -
I am not VIP so I am not able to post my build in the Archetype forums section, which I think kinda stinks. I was wondering if it was against forum rules to post my build in this section to get advice from experienced players. I am a max tier premium player with a total of 79 paragon reward tokens, so I think I should be able to get help with my builds somewhere on the forums. I just don't want to take a chance of violating the forum rules by posting it in the wrong section. A red name pointing me in the right direction would be great. Thank you for your time.
Edit: Just realized a big typo there. The thread title is suppose to be: Posting builds. lol oops. -
Have you tried opening the NC Soft Launcher, clicking the arrow next to CoH or right clicking CoH in the list, and selecting Repair (Consistency check)? When I first started playing, almost every patch I would have problems. Sometimes crashing, but mostly constant mapserves. I found that doing a repair after the game updates the problem for me goes away. So now every time the game patches I do that and haven't had a problem for a while. It might not solve your problem, but it couldn't hurt to try. Only takes at most a few minutes to complete the consistency check.

Quote:That's exactly what I was saying is happening to me. Your idea is a good possibility and I never thought of that. It's annoying for me because I have purchased all costume pieces/bundles, except some auras, and it can goof up my costume until I uncheck the box, exit the tailor, then reenter the tailor window because some pieces I have purchased/unlocked won't show up at all when they should while the box is checked.Originally Posted by T_Immortalus
Ok, there is a pattern.
This option is checked every time I go to the tailor for the first time on a character during that play session.
If I log out, I have to uncheck the box at the tailor when I first visit after logging in.
I assume it is because of my account status as Premium/Free that explains why VIPs do not see this.
Either way, it's annoying. -

You're perfectly free to do whatever you want. I know NCsoft and Paragon studios are doing the best they absolutely can to help resolve issues with their player base. The whole reason of having a free system is for people to experience the game before they sub, not the other way around. If you choose to do it backwards that is your business. As far as only missing out on the incarnate stuff. You will also be missing out on the new content that only incarnates will be able to complete. Sure, it isn't here now, but with the revamp of Dark Astoria it is starting. At some point that will be a huge piece of the game as it is already becoming.
If you're not interested in that then, again, that is your choice. If we're going to resort to name calling then my part in this thread has concluded. If people can't be civil and differentiate between an argument and a discussion then I want no part in it. As for the OP to get his thread back on track. Keep pestering support over your issue. Unless they discover user error you're entitled a refund for being overcharged. An issue such as this probably will not be resolved ASAP so you need to keep on them about it and be very clear about what is going on. Hope you get it resolved one way or another.

Went to create a new character today and had same problem in the costume creation window during creation: the "show only free costumes" was checked already. Seems I am the only player with this problem judging by other posts here.
For me it isn't random. It is every single time I enter the costume creation window the box is already checked at first. Although it seems to stay unchecked for the duration I play on the character after unchecking it, but when I log back in or switch characters it's checked again. Very annoying.
