    Another reason why one can claim rather confidently that those two badges will not be zero-cost badges in the new tutorial.

    I am not in Closed Beta. My previous time in other Closed Betas did include the new tutorial. My statement is not based on Closed Beta information.

    You make spurious claims of someone I think should no longer be allowed to post on the forums.

    That system message tells you the number of free and earned respecs, not just the free ones. It's just the free ones that don't stack.

    They have a Helpdesk?

    You could infer from that which two badges they could be and further, that the tutorial would point people to them for the purpose of educating about the store.

    Those two badges will not be the zero-cost badges in the Tutorial's store tutorial.
  7. Ummm, hey folks. Before you all get worked up into a frothy NERDRAGE (on both side of the argument), maybe you want to check that this is WAI and not just a bug?

    Cause, you know, the KIR is relatively new to Live and from being in the pre-Beta that tested it, I don't remember any discussion about the establishment of minimum number. Twelve may have been just a placeholder that never got revisited.

    So, let's find out if 12 is a hard minimum, a bug, or a placeholder that never got set properly.

    If it's the first, then proceed with the justifiable nerdrage.

    That is the truth in cheekiness.

    I'm all for either increasing the reward OR allowing all 3 shifts to work, but not both: That's a bit OP, especially since Temp Powers work in the TFs.

    I prefer the former. And I'd like to see all the major level 50 TFs have an "Incarnate Mode" that makes all the foes Level 54 and allow Threads to drop and 2 Astral Merits on the reward table (an Empyrean Merit with Temp Powers disabled).
  9. Someone do all the Shard TFs just in case it's on of those.
  10. It seemed for a while all base portals had their draw distance drastically reduced but then that got fixed, except for the few that it didn't mentioned in this thread.

    Seems to be a bug that's been popping up recently. The server lost track of one of you. A Teleport or zoning will fix that.

    Put her and a doppelganger on either side of Ben Vereen and you got a Bob Fosse number.
  14. Not to mention the cutscene bomber who wasn't stealthed enough meaning that Marauder 'saw' him and so he ran *out* of the courtyard with Marauder in tow and thus auto-failing the whole iTrial for everyone.
  15. <Votes to kick the Tanker/Scrapper/Brute who runs up to Nightstar or Siege who *is already being successfully pulled* and then slows them down with a Taunt, cause, you know, THEY HAVE RANGED ATTACKS AND WILL **STOP** TO ATTACK YOU!!!>

    <Votes to kick the Ranged Attacker who hits Marauder from a distance to 'pull him' while we're all buffing up causing his entire spawn to stretch out across the entire courtyard ensuring a lengthy and chaotic battle instead of INSTA-KILLING THE WHOLE FREAKIN' SPAWN WITH 24 JUDGEMENT ATTACKS IN 2 SECONDS!!!>

    Maybe the question was: Can I edit my posts?

My question is if you are only allowed 2 heroes to play on the free option how is it determined which two you get to play. I play entirely on Freedom and I don't feel like re-rolling a hero on another server and going thru the grind all over again. Any ideas or has anybody heard how this will be implemented ???
    You will get at least 2 Global Character Slot Unlock tokens to apply to any two slots. If it's a slot with a toon already created, you get to play that toon. If it's an empty slot, you get to roll a new toon. (That's 2 Slots *total*, not per server.)

    In addition to the 2 base slots, you also get extra Global Character Slots if you were ever granted Slot Unlocks from Vet Rewards (1/yr), buying Going Rogue (2 more), or previously purchasing any with real money.

    You will also be able to purchase Global Character Slots unlocks with Paragon Point. You already have 400 PP for being subbed during July, that can buy you one more. Or, you can purchase more PPs for more Global Unlocks.

    If you ever re-sub, even for a month, during that time of subscription you revert back to VIP status and the 12 per server unlock status, plus any others you earned or purchased.

    And if you re-revert to Premium (freebie) status, you go back to the 2+ Global unlock tokens.

    That may be the case. But likewise, it is highly unlikely he was saying "it will be October."

    As for the October or later date - that's being inferred from a comment to someone in a chat about will the player get a certain veteran reward that the current system has out in October for him.
    I linked to that comment above. Clockwork O1 said "well before October."

    But no it really sucks that people criticize artists who just go for the easy cheesecake design. It's feminists who are the real sexists, blah blah.

    Log onto an alt whose set up is correct, then save Window set-up to default file and save Chat set-up to default file (buttons are on the bottom of General Tab in Menu > Options).

    Then log onto the toon that lost it and use the Load buttons.


    Or, right click empty space on chat window and Add Tab and rebuild it.

    You know, most gaming companies *want* home brew streams like yours to advertise their game.

    Now, if you got secret footage of an epic cutscene which totally spoils Issue 23 and put that on YouTube... watch out.

    But you know, they could have sued you over that and NCSoft would have won damages anyway. This is adding a criminal penalty. This is a boon for smaller companies that don't have the means to sue people for damages over copyright infringement. They can now alert the authorities and let the criminal system stop it.

    You're not supposed to infringe on copyright materials already. What you should or should not have been doing will not change. The penalty gets worse.

    And what you have been doing could have been stopped a long time ago with a letter from NCSoft. So, for you, nothing will change.

    Accepted? By whom?

    That's my point. From my Paragon Studios tea-reading abilities, which are rather uncanny, the ones who originally threw out 'October' and got everyone 'accepting' it were and are very wrong.

    If there are people in Closed Beta who have for the past week been playing the new tutorial and ewwing and ahhing over the revised Atlas Park, then October means one heck of a long Beta. Especially since the Devs have been saying that they've been working on Freedom for the past year.

    Zombie Man says September. /naruto
