    Yeah, I listed those NPC Allies for their notoriety in being Ranged fighters, which means their AI goes: "I have a ranged attack ready, so, let me run to the full range of the attack and use it." And that full range just so happens to be standing in the middle of the next foe spawn.

    I wonder if Synapse can aggro 5 groups in 3 seconds.

This is more than they can do currrently without resorting to credit card fraud (not that I think they have anything against it).
    No cost but time? Time *is* money. And there are more productive ways to earn money than caretake 100 free accounts over the course of 25 days.

    Besides, we don't know if just one tiny purchase is enough to become Premium. And if it is, it may well be still a very limited account.

    Besides, if the bar for becoming Premium is that low, then the RMTs will spend the $5 to become Premium immediately to do all the things you think they can get away with as a Premium account and then earn $20 for each account they invested $5 in.

    You mean like Day Job Badges and Day Job Powers?

    One more thing: if this thing is very time consuming it will be seen as a grind on top of being infinitesimal. But if it doesn't take a lot of time, since points can buy consumables I can sign up for a hundred free accounts and earn a ton of points across those accounts, bypassing the time gates.
    First, I'd like you to explain how you got past the account-sharing gate. Sure, you might be able to buy a pass along a Point-bought inspiration from one free account to another. But how are you going to get your other free accounts to unlock AE access on your main accounts since I'm assuming you can't gleemail Paragon Points?

    You were told correctly.

    I'm telling you something different because of the addition of a time gate.

    Missing with full Momentum should be a self-knockback.
  6. After being sexually abused by a vampire, I hope she becomes a Vampire Hunter!
  7. I'd love to see how some of the emotes play with the Titan Weapons out.

  9. Well, you actually *could* reward Freeks and Preems with Paragon Points for doing stuff in the game if you gate the Points per day.

    So, let's say the Preems can do something that earns a Point, and there's the usual 20 hour cool down before they can earn another point. They'll be earning on average 30 points per month. That's about 7.5% the rate of a VIP, plus they have to do stuff, so, if they skip a day, they don't get it.

    It will whet their appetite. When they get 35 Points and they have their eyes on the 50 Point item, they'll break down and buy Points. Their glacial accumulation will cause them to buy points or subscribe for the 'free' 400 Points/mo.
  10. The AE Edition was a 'celebration' of the AE, not access to it.

    I have some good news and some bad news for you.

    The good news is that you get 100 Points for playing with Freeks and Preems. The bad news is that cootie shots cost 150 points.

  13. It has started to get staggeringly high ratings once they included the laser dot jumping around in the background.
  14. I call upon the ancients for the mighty power of COPY AND PASTE AND DRAG SELECTION!!!!

  18. What was tested previously starting almost a year ago were the Incarnate Trials: BAF, Lamda, Keyes, and The Underground.

    That was a separate Closed Beta track from the Closed Beta for Issues, for they still had separate Closed and Open Betas for Issues 19 and 20.

    I would imagine that right now the folks that were part of the in-person focus group are giving feedback to how the devs are implementing CoH:Freedom as well as what's available for Issue 21.

    About the third or fourth 'wave' of Closed Beta, they start inviting long-time Vets and random picks. We still see people who have never been in Beta before, or even on the Test Server get into Closed Beta early. They like to have a wide range of view for input.
