Quote:I specifically bought $100 in points so that I would have the tokens for Celestial before they got rotated out (please note I am now sitting on like 8000 or whatever points, unused!). This was before they changed their story from "eventually they will be rotated back in (with the implication that everything stays T9VIP exclusive)" to "eventually they may not be T9VIP exclusive but available through other means" (with the possible implication that means it won't be T9VIP).Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
The real answers lie within the question: How many VIPs would shell out the excessive amount of dough to fly up the Tiers compared to how many sales of packs they have for popular costume packs? We'd have to factor in the useage of stipend points as well.
I seriously don't think a large contingent of people only subscribe for the costumes at Tier 9. And I don't think there'd be any mass exodus if the exclusivity of those costumes were "diminished".
If they had announced the latter when they talked about rotating Celestial out, I sure as hell wouldn't have bought those points. I would have been content to wait it out and get Celestial eventually by "some other means"...I waited until only a few weeks ago to get them anyway, another month or two wouldn't have hurt.
As it is, since I'm pretty much uninterested in the Incarnate system, if they give away the VIP rewards in such a way that doesn't require VIP to obtain, I will be unsubscribing and playing as a Preemie. Since they want to KEEP subscriptions (if you believe their repeated "subscriptions are our core focus" mantra), this sounds RESOUNDINGLY STUPID in a business sense. -

Never said I was 53
I specifically said: 50+3
But just like in the trials the baddies could be:
54+2 etc
I hope they never set the minimum level for baddies in DA at 54 and have the slider adjust from there. My incarnates would never get anywhere (I don't like iTrials much). If that's not what you're suggesting, then explain yourself a little more. -
Right-click City of Heroes on the Launcher screen and tell it to run a repair.

Yep I think you're right. I overlooked where he specifically said he was a Free player.

Is the store on beta OK? I know the two are separate, so maybe their uptime differs. Could just transfer there instead.

Mind, TGA files come out *HUGE* (up to 10MB each!!) so hopefully you've got a lot of space or use it sparingly.

Dechs must be sleeping. Someone link to his guide! I cannot find it easily on this stupid phone.

IIRC you can also hover your mouse over your levelup circle and get the details that way.

Point of clarification, because these numbers are ASTRONOMICALLY amazing: The three day tickets sold out in LESS THAN FIVE HOURS!!! The single day tickets sold out in less than 24 hours.
My fiance checked at noon and they weren't on sale yet. By five when our friend called to tell us the tickets were on sale, the three-days were already sold out, so we had to pay for fri/sat/sun separately, which is HORRIFIC on our pocket book ($35/day as opposed to $60/weekend, times two of us). PAX is already expensive enough a trip for us, and then our wedding is only a few weeks later. arghhhh -

All kidding aside, I sometimes think I hear the game sound effects at weird moments. I know I'm just HEARING things, but these SFX have really imbed themselves in my brain over the years.
Most (if not all) of the original ambient noises, beeps and blips, songs, etc. were available in a pay-for pack. I've heard some "CoH sounds" in commercials, other games, movies, etc. -
Sounds like the batteries may be going, or the sensor may be bad.
Mice don't have an unlimited lifetime, remember. And wireless mice even less life due to the batteries involved. -
Texas, California, and Washington I know for sure, because NCsoft has facilities in each of those. There may be more.

I know it is in British English for certain - that's what the rule was referring to.
Listen via the little sound symbol after "ate". It says "ait". It then says "primarily British" and says "et". Which is still not "at". -
Quote:What the heck? No, that is wrong.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I spotted somewhere someone explaining that the past tense of "eat" - "ate" is supposed to be pronounced "at" and not "ait" like one would think, and people who pronounce it as the latter are seen as uneducated for having deduced its pronunciation from seeing the word spelled as opposed to hearing it spoken.
"Ate" is pronounced like "plate" without the "pl" part (ait/ayt). It is not pronounced like "hat" without the "h" (not "at").
I don't know a single person who is not a redneck that says "I at some pizza last night." EVERYONE I know (who is not a redneck) says "I ayt some pizza last night."
Note that rednecks pronounce all kinds of words wrong, mostly because they don't know any better. -
Is it a wireless mouse?

Quote:At the normal costume price of 400pp/$5?Originally Posted by TrueMetal
So I hope the devs just put the rotated out costume sets in the market at the normal costume set price.
I spent the equivalent of up to $45 on them as a T9 VIP item (slightly less due to bulk points buying discount). I tell you what, I sure would be pissed if someone could then buy the whole thing for five bucks. No sir. -
There is a collection of them now that's parts 1-7 for $30. (So you save the cost of one episode. Not much of a discount for the whole collection, IMO.)
Keep in mind that if that VIP person ever goes Preemie, they don't take their SSAs with them. To keep playing them as a Preemie, they have to buy them. (And two of the rewards - the Incarnate bits - are unavailable. And one of the rewards - the AM - is unavailable if they don't also have GR/Alignment System. And one of the rewards - Reward Merits - is no use to someone under Tier 4 [8 reward tokens].) -
Quote:The game restricts them that way. Get some Praets involved in any holiday event (frinstance, Valentines Day event arcs, requiring a hero to run the arc and a villain to complete the mission, and the opposite) and the Resistance are stuck with the Heroes, and the Loyalists chum with the Villains.Originally Posted by Red_Raccoon
Secondly, I don't know that I agree with your equating of Resistance with Heroes and Loyalists with Villains--each faction seems to have its own heroic and villainous subfaction. Would you really considers crusaders "heroic?"

Sure would be awesome if the Prae Chaser stuck with you after your alignment choice. It should base itself off of an internal invisible badge that tells you what earth you originate from. -
Quote:*snorfle* I had to stop and think what ELSE an IUD would be. I finally figured out that Sam meant the bombs, not a contraceptive device.Originally Posted by CapnBarcode
It's probably a lot safer to just refer to them as "bombs". Everyone will know what you're talking about. Otherwise I start picturing a rain of glowing Dalkon Shields with timers on them, and I giggle uncontrollably.

If you don't have 13 reward tokens, or have not purchased MM from the Paragon Market, no you will not be able to continue playing your MM.

Being really, brutally honest?
I use adblock, so I have no background at all. It's nice and clean. I would love an option like that. I know theming is a part of marketing as much as anything else - but an "official" option that looks just like I have it now, with the COH logo up top and nothing else, would be lovely. -
Quote:This is what I do as well, with most of the powers I have popmenu'd. I have a tray tucked away on the right in a vertical strip that is full of popmenu'd powers. I don't have to worry about moving my mouse over there to do anything with them, because I just hit P then 1-9 (some numbers open a second submenu that requires another selection of 1-9, i.e. costume changes).Originally Posted by Bosstone
I'm with you that I'd prefer to see the powers charging. I stick all the powers I access with a two-key popmenu in a floating tray. That way I can see them charging, but I don't have to worry about being able to access that tray, whether by binds or by mouse.
Some powers I don't have on a tray at all, but that's because I use them so infrequently that I don't need them there, such as Self Destruction, base port, Pocket D port, etc.
