I am not buying the technical difficulties line.
Obviously they can assign us tokens.
If they wanted, they could have assigned us the tokens we were due and then taken care of the accounting behind the scenes.
The only technology needed is a ledger book or one of its digital counterparts. W/e adjustments to the system could be made in the meantime and then adjusted accordingly to account for what has been handed out already.
They have just chosen to inconvenience us instead of themselves for w/e reason. Not saying that they didn't have a very good reason, mind, you--just that the very god reason isn't because it was technically unfeasible.

the observations you're making may be more informed than some others', but it's not hard to find examples of similar things which work much better than what we've been given. So, even the comparatively uninformed reach the same conclusions.
These assessments of the systems add to the sense of wonder about why we were given what we were given.
Was it just poor performance?
Is there some method or ulterior motive to the madness?
****-up before conspiracy, of course. But, one can't help but see the potential of the problems to milk the cash of the impatient. And seeing that, there's a certain compulsion to wonder if the problems are wai. I don't have access to any sales data of course. But I expect and suspect that a number of transactions occurred which may not have occurred if players had gotten their points and tokens closer to launch of Freedom.
This answers "cui bono?" but doesn't tell us if it's appropriate to ask that question.

The apparently different answers that been provided by staff to identical questions from players adds to a vague sense of suspicion of the company on the part of the players.
eg Do they know what they're going to do about these things? Why can't they communicate their plan internally well enough that it can be communicated externally? Are these things happening on purpose? etc

Idk what will happen on the part of the company nor on the part of the players. However, I suspect that the outcomes are not going to be as optimal as they could be. They may even end up being a net negative. idk.

I really enjoy CoV.

At McDonald's, if you're unhappy, you can go most anywhere and get an adequate subsititute.
But, there's not anywhere else you can go to play CoX.

Calling them for what exactly?
Points?
Tokens?
Or what?

Well, sooner is better than later and late is better than never

I forget where exactly I got my info. I think it was from a Zwil post or something. Iirc, They're due on the day before your bill date.

Who the hell knows?

I remember because that's the date I got each of my vet rewards for the past few years. My date hasn't changed since I started.

It does give one pause, don' it. A pause in which we may wonder, "Why?"

From there, it seems natural to be tempted to wonder if the complicatedness was brought into existence for some purpose.

tokens aren't coming until November
fyi

it said soft cap or equivalent

I am not one of them, but...

WP is nice because it's easy. Set it and forget it.

A layered defense is less likely to have some sort of cascading failure or some sort of mob that just does them in by exploiting the set's weakness.
So WP is decent in several aspects which leads to it being pretty good in general.
Even though the def and res numbers are higher for other sets, the regen and HP of WP allow it to make up for that deficit. The regeneration helps against all damage types.

Once you start adding IO bonuses, having all that HP and regen underneath really, really makes a difference.
Softcap is great. Softcap w/ awesome regen is even better.

LOL
They will have been up for how long at that point?
30 days?
You may well be right.

I am not sure. I get plenty as a tier nine. (well I will be when my sub expires anyway)

We're left with incarnate content. Apparently some of the incarnate powers are not functional now though.

And access to Exalted.

Other than that, I am not sure what benefit there is to remaining a subscriber.
If I want more points as a premium, I can drop some cash AND GET ALL OF POINTS AND TOKENS IN AN INSTANT.

I can't really change anything on my account until my sub expires anyway, so I have that long to see what will happen on their end.

Yes, until they began to try and sell us stuff. Idk about MMOs in general, ut I think most other businesses, it's been demonstrated that allowing your customers to view a catalog is a good idea for promoting sales.

I didn't think it was so bad until I started trying to give them my money.

It's weird to have company trying to sell me things and not making it easy. totally unused to that.

Too bad there's not a catalog of the merchandise that they're trying to sell.

I wish it were easier to give them my money.
