Quote:Do you mean the enhancements?Originally Posted by Clan_
I don't know if this issue has been raised before...but in real life when I see at item "on sale" - I don't necessarily purchase the item for immediate use now - but because I may need the item at a point in the future or even give the item as a gift to someone else. As it is, it appears that the ranged items currently "on sale" are character locked!!!
Why not make these items such that you can buy them now (while on sale) and then later on during the year give them to toons that you create, even if on a different account??
Don't know if I'm missing something here or not, but as it is I feel as though I'm not really totally benefiting from the "on sale" sale!
Last I checked they're not character locked. They are account bound though.
Basically, you make the purchase and then redeem them (individually if you purchase the set) via the Character Items tab in your in-game e-mail.
This does not mean that they can only be redeemed by the character you purchased them with, it just means that once a character redeems it, it will be gone.
Unlike items under the Account Items tab that can be redeemed by every single character you create (usually items earned through Paragon Rewards like the Reveal temp power for example). -

Im wondering if theres a way to figure out and manually activate an old char from the website. Or do i have to fish around until i hopfully find it?
You'll have to go to the server where the character is, find it, and then unlock it there. -

Pets- Buff and Vanity pets can now be used by Kheldians while shapeshifted, and now persist if summoned in Human form prior to a shapeshift.
This is on beta right now!
Thank you devs! -
My Beam/Poison Corruptor is sitting in Atlas too.
I was surprised that "Laser Beam" was not taken. -
Freebie is Web Grenade. We obviously know about Water Blast.
Character slots and Flying Disc are on sale.
And they added a new bundle called Booster Kit for 395 PP.
It includes XP Boosters, Amplifiers, the Self-rez power, the 30-day rocket pack, and a Warwolf Whistle (I could have missed something, but it about covers it). -
Quote:Servers being down on Tuesdays means they are adding something larger than usual to the Paragon Market.Originally Posted by PC_Ferret
When i go to the Server Status page today (Tuesday) I see this only:
What I am NOT seeing is the fact that you are doing maintence TODAY (Tuesday), nor how long that maintenance will take. Could you please update the Server Status page to show this in addition to the above when it's relevant?
Alternatively, can you please tell me where I can look to find out when the current maintenance is expected to be over?
Thank you!
In this case, Water Blast is being released today. They announced it was being released today.
Also, right below the area you quoted it states this:
Quote:Please note: while we are reserving that two-hour period for maintenance updates, they will not necessarily require the entire two hours and additional updates may be scheduled outside this time-period as needed. We may also perform maintenance on additional servers, such as the web servers, message boards, or login servers. -
Quote:Has not happened to me, but it is my understanding that you are correct and you should not be able to get the exact same enhancement you are converting.Originally Posted by Ryokoryu
I filed a petition, but in case anyone is having the same issue here it is. I had 8 enhancement converters, and 1 sephyre run/jump yadda yadda range endurance recipe. I figured ok make the enhancement, and I get 2 50/50 shots at getting the -kb version. First go get the exact same enhancement out of it. ok I figure 1/3 chance. Go again, and same enhancement. no change at all. statistically it should have changed. no change same enhancement. I thought it was supposed to exclude the enhancement you were using in the first place, and yes I double, and triple checked it was exactly the same. I realize the other one is very similar with all the travel types.
Did you take a screenshot by any chance?
And yes, filing a /petition or /bug was the correct choice. -
Quote:I made a blaster on beta a paired with electricity, but it was just to test it.Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
Facebook lol. That'd be why I haven't heard rumors of a date then. Will probably make another troller with Nature anyway; I still have no idea what to pair with Water blast.
New Super packs on Beta. I can't see those hitting before Nature, but what do I know.
I've made all of one blaster, and it was my first character.
It's still a level 28, energy/energy blaster. -
Happy super late birthday!

Quote:They said during Freedom Friday on Facebook that no release date has been announced for it yet.Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
Any word if Nature Affinity is going Live on Tuesday as well?
What I am wondering is though... New Super Packs? That'd be nice.
I played with Water Blast for all of 10 minutes on Beta, and it looks like lots of fun. -
Free hat! Free Hat!
On topic: Like this concept better. The whole Friday, not being on Friday everywhere made it odd. -
Overwhelming Force is a Universal Damage set.
Hurricane does not do damage, so it cannot be slotted. -

Getting people to farm the event is one of the possibilities i see too.
Still, to be fair, it could also be something completely different.
Does someone know if the rednames post anything about the background of the "no conversion" decision?
@Ironblade: Puh, i am so lucky not being in your reality :P ^^

Happened again last night.
Logged in to Sharkhead to find 3 other players engaging the Ghost of Scrapyard. I figured I'd jump in and help.
He started running all over the place, jumping from the docks onto ships.
I was on my Dual Pistols/Time Corruptor, and kept wasting Distortion Field because after the cast time was over, he was already too far away for it to have any effect on him. -
Good luck to all the contestants!

SHamster changed the VF MOTD.
New run will start on 07/11/12... that's all I remember from it though.
It did say to come to the forums for more details.
*looks for details* -
Was anything changed, maybe by mistake, during the last patch?
Yesterday I was part of a Summer Event team and the AVs would not stop running, they barely even stopped running to attack. It came to the point where they were jumping on the boxes to the supporting beams by the ceiling and we had to follow them.
Then, I joined a different team (of 4 as well, including me) to fight the Kraken in Perez Park... same thing. Started running all over the place, got on top of the trees and had to follow it all over the place.
I believe I understand what this mechanic is for... if there's a bunch of minions, someone nukes the group and one of them is left standing, then by all means... run away!
But when a team of 4 (lvl 29 for the event, and lvl 44 for the Kraken) are fighting AVs and Monsters, they shouldn't start running all over the place when have barely even put some damage on them. -
It's not a bug. A red name posted that this set cannot be converted at the moment and it is working as intended.
They have also said they are aware of the other 2 bugs and are working on fixing them in a future patch. -
Any news on the ability of being able to list the Overwhelming Force set in the Auction House?

Quote:How many points did you purchase? You get a token for your first purchase and then for every 1200 points purchased cumulatively.Originally Posted by Desi_Nova
I actually have a different "problem" regarding reward tokens. I purchased points on 6/8, got a token, My Renewal was 6/9, got a token around 6/13, which I thought was my monthly Token, 6/20 Purchased points, got a token, then I got a Token around 6/23, how did I get an extra token. Not that I'm complaining
From the wiki...
Quote:* VIP Players are granted one Reward Token for purchasing any amount of Paragon Points the first time any are purchased. The minimum purchase quantity is 400 Paragon Points.
* VIP Players are granted one Reward Token for every 1200 Paragon Points purchased. (Cumulative; it needn't be all purchased at once.)
- Bonus points from large point purchases are included in the formula, but not the monthly point stipend for being a VIP.
- Example: Buying 8000 PP for $100US gives 1600 bonus points, which results in 9600/1200=8 tokens. -
From what I read they are supposed to be sellable and it's just a bug that they are not at the moment.
But who knows, maybe it's an intended bug... I will certainly have an effect on the pricing once it's fixed since I'm sure more people will be enticed to play the event than having to wait for the bug to be fixed and see the set in the market.
It has been confirmed though that not being able to convert them is WAI. -

I just got Beam Rifle when it was on sale. So I'd probably do Beam Rifle... something. I just don't know what yet.
