    Complete edition does not include prepurchase perk of early powerset access. Complete edition also does not include the option *TO PREPURCHASE AT ALL*.

    But if you're thinking it'll include the previous microtransaction packs (Good vs. Evil, Mac, Wedding, Cyborg, Magic, Super Science and Martial Arts), absolutely not. Nor should it for that low a price.
    The post you quoted never said anything like that.
  2. $30 Expansion (pre-purchasable)
    early access to new powersets
    $10 Item Pack (basing price on previous item pack costs, subject to change)
    $15 month of gameplay
    = $55

    $40 Complete Edition (not pre-purchasable)
    no early powerset access
    free item pack
    free month
    = $40

    They're looking to seriously cash in on the pre-purchasable perk of early powerset access. It's kinda disgusting.

    No, you wont have to by both for a total price of $70. You can buy the pre-order, then buy the upgrade when it becomes available... but you wont get any free game time (which you wouldn't get even if you waited and bought the standard retail anyway).

    The standard retail does not come with any game time regardless if you buy it early or wait. Only the Complete edition retail comes with the extra game time, and wont be available through the item pack upgrade.

    Note that this means you are paying more by pre-ordering the normal expansion and then buying the item pack, since neither one comes with a $15 value free month.

    $30 Expansion
    $10 Item Pack (assumed price, going off previous item pack prices)
    $15 month
    = $55 (pre-orderable)

    $40 Complete Edition
    free item pack
    free month
    = $40 (not pre-orderable)

    They are looking to seriously cash in on the inflated prices for pre-ordering. It's kind of disgusting.

    I think McC is confusing the level20 costume slot mission (defeat a bunch of Tsoo) with the cape mission (talk to some people, do some missions with Lost/Rikti).

    Yes. Any time that you have access to the pet window.

    You might want to research the show "V". (Or go even a little further back.)

    Ooh. That might be it. It might not let you buy codes until you're in a paid month. I am not sure on that one!

    help plz

    Put a petition in for support to take a look at your account. I just now purchased a booster pack for my second account with no issues, so it may be a lock on your account or something.

    Also, make sure you're not at/above your monthly spending limit (which IIRC includes your subscription). You can find that under Billing in your master account.

    Aah, I love it when people don't read the whole thread... even when it's only four posts long...

  12. Find static teams in the Player Events forum. Find SGs that are recruiting in the SG Forum.
  13. You don't need to start over with another archetype (aka "class") - it sounds like you picked either Tanker or Scrapper - those are both great starting-out archetypes.

    However, if you start over, you may want to select another ORIGIN ("magic", "science", etc.) so that you get easier enemies to fight initially. Choosing SCIENCE is what is giving you most of the problems, so just switch that one up and see if it works.

    (Although, as a SERIOUS altoholic, I recommend making multiples of each archetype, try out a BUNCH of different characters! This game rewards alts!)

    So, to clarify... you mean it does NOT give you a placement reticle?
    Correct, you summon Lightning Storm on click, no reticle.

    I would link you to City of Data, but it seems RedTomax's site is having a brain fart. (errors all over the place). If it were working, you can look here:
    http://www.redtomax.com/data/powers/
    Powers that are automatically placed have different data points than ones that require a reticle click. But since CoD is down, I have no idea what those differences are.

    However, he might keep saying the same thing. But that's not deja vu.
    Thank you, Captain Obvious! Your input is appreciated and completely unnecessary. I KNOW what deja vu is, that is why I asked F'Xmas if he had written the post before, or if my brain was on the blink.
  17. Congratulations on making your very first character choose the origin with the very hardest low-level dudes!

    I recommend trying another origin (natural is nice, Council and such, pretty easy dudes) to learn the tricks of the game. The Vahzilok and their zombies just...well...they suck when you don't have the resources to deal with them.

    No, I meant exactly what I said. I had serious deja vu reading your post, like "YOU" had said it, verbatim, before.
  19. Don't forget ambient occlusion, which is a bigger deal even than detailed shadows!
  20. Note: today is Tuesday for you. (It's still Monday for me, I'm west coast USA.) Not Sunday.

    Tuesday is a typical patch day, so it's possible you've got something going on over there. No idea until more Euro-players weigh in.
  21. F'Xmas, have you posted that, verbatim, before? Because I am having serious deja vu reading that, through the whole thing. O.o
  22. -tohit is "fake defense". 1% of -tohit basically is 1% of defense. This is AFTER all of the calculations are done, though...some enemies resist tohit debuffs, etc.
