From what I remember of the ustream, yes.

The consumables are one-shots for tiers below tier 9. I suspect you can buy more with Paragon Points though.

The unlimited one will not go away (if you bought it). So I gather you get 5 more times with the second.

That is why I asked Positron, but yeah, it is like getting the Arachnos Helmets.

Do you intend to stop being a VIP once Issue 21 goes live? If not, then you'll have access to everything you have now. That is including existing Vet Rewards. Heck, if you didn't have Going Rogue, then you get that for free with your monthly subscription.

Any future Paragon Rewards you get to choose from the available options for that tier, if you continue to subscribe. If not, you lose out of the items from the upper tiers you haven't got.

Yes, that is the assumption that myself and others have embedded in calculations.

The slides have errors, and was taken from the initial feedback months ago. Things change. Positron today said the formula is (N/3)+((N/3)/4) where N is the largest vet reward badge you have.

Yes, that is what Positron said. Additionally from what he said, already earned rewards are pre-bought with the initial allotment of Reward Points. Given the limited choices in each tier, and the fact that they match with existing vet rewards means that you aren't losing anything.

Yes... I specifically asked about that in two different ways (paraphrased):

Question 1:
My primary account already has the GR Pre-order Enhancements, do I get another choice?

Answer:
You've been able to use them for a year before anyone else and you don't get another pick instead of it.

Question 2:
I have the GR Pre-order Enhancements on my second account that has less than a year's status, do I keep them?

Answer:
Yes.

From what was said, you have to qualify for the Tier 9 rewards and be a current VIP subscriber.

Not one bit. I might purchase controllers/MMs on my second account, but that is about it.

Thank you, that is what I was asking for.

What is your source? That is what citation mean. Cite your source for the information.

Citation needed.

Then they can. Paragon Studios is giving them a huge "thank you for your past subscription dollars".

If they want the rewards, then they can either buy piecemeal from that point.

No. Stop beating the dead horse. Same goes for bases. They will fix both when they are able to.

They can't buy off all the restrictions. For instance they can't use Incarnate Powers.

The points will be "pre-spent" with your existing Vet Rewards. Any future rewards are your choice.

Actually, Tier 6, with 4 more reward tokens to get to tier 7.

The thing is that you are jump started 17 months into the system. To get to Tier 9 just by subscribing, you need to subscribe for another 17 months (13 reward tokens a year) until you catch up. OR you could accelerate that by 1 token per 1200 points ($15) to get to that point sooner. If a NEW player starts with Issue 21, they have to wait 3 years, or purchase a lot of Paragon Points.

The thing is that 33 or 36 months is for new subscribers. For existing/returning subscribers they get a jump start. At 36 months you'll probably be in Tier 6.

It means that you can choose the order on the stuff you haven't been rewarded for. The stuff you have been rewarded for vet status will be already selected for you.


See the above image.

Um, you don't have to unlock Tier 9... I suspect that the new powersets will not be reward choices.

Positron said in the ustream chat that there will be a certain amount of "you might not like it, but you'll have to take it" with the new system, just like the Vet Rewards program.

It may be slightly off due to some rounding issues, but it should be a good approximation of what to expect for Freedom Launch.

Edit:
Here is a table to see where you stand as far as tiers goes:

Find your Vet Reward Status in the table. In the case of year badges, look at the red version.

Sad-face

You are forgetting the 400 free Paragon Points/Month. So you seem to get 4 Reward Tokens every 3 months, and 17 Reward Tokens every year (12 months + 1 per year + 4,800 Paragon Points, if used).

Positron said that existing Vets will have what they got auto-filled in the program.

At an educated guess (I'm not in the I21 beta): Both.

I expect that things like the dual/team inspirations, XP boosts, etc will not only be in the rewards program, but also in-store.

Other things will likely be gated exclusively through rewards (Celestial Costumes), but access to MMs/Controllers might be purchasable directly.

(24/3)+((24/3)/4)
8+(8/4)
8+(2)

10 Tokens.

Which, from the pictures looks like a 24 month vet would be Tier 5. Ie. MMs & Controllers unlocked, at a guess.

That should be 35 tokens, which would place it at Tier 9.

Apparently I forgot a couple of words in my post that you quoted. The various posts that mention modifications "do not" discuss changing the program files themselves.

Not one of the mentioned modifications change the .pigg files.

Two points.

FigurePrints already has most (all?) of the 3D data it needs from Blizzard to recreate all the items/characters.

The "snapshots" are like City of Heroes' costume files.

Edit:
Ooh, this topic has been repeatedly mentioned since 2006.

Arcanaville at one point posted what the figures would probably look like:
She goes on to say in another post:
And when she hedges what she is saying she does a good job at it:

Simple distinction: What you want to do is change the actual game code, the other things do not. All the other changes mentioned do not change the files themselves.

In every other case the the game files are intact. What you are asking for is to be able to change how the game functions.

Because one contains active code(bin) and pointers to other internal resources, the other group (maps, icons, help, popmenus) doesn't.

They are not the same. What you are asking for actually is more embedded than most developers have access to.

The difference is not in the effect, the difference is what is (or is not) being changed. What you are asking for isn't possible to do with an override.

Edit:
As to your actual problem: make a single tab with all global channels in it and hide it on one of the tab windows. Then /chatsave. Go through all your characters and /chat load. Every time you add a global channel, add it to the tab, then /chatsave, and when you log into your other toons, /chatload.
