You'll get the token for the month's subscription time at the end of the month. -
There shouldn't be a problem, that I know of.

has anyone heard anything about a fix for the yearly badges and character slot yet?
Instead, you should get an extra Paragon Reward Token. -

Dark One: You can verify whether or not you got two batches of points by looking at the Billing section of the Account Management page. That, at least, they seem to be able to keep a correct log of. I haven't ever heard of that being wrong from the large number (possibly a hundred, possibly more) of people I've talked to about it.
My billing day is the 7th. Specifically it was December 7th, 2011. Yet I got my Paragon Points on the 8th for both December and January. I got my Paragon Reward Token on December 23rd, and I still haven't got the first clue as to why the dates are 15 days apart. -

Well, apparently the CC tool doesn't work. So they evidently don't want this tested by anyone.

Section 1: Trial Badges.
Section 1a: Dilemma Diabolique
Master of Dilemma Diabolique.- Hint text - Earn the following special achievements during the Dilemma Diabolique Incarnate Trial: Rescued and Recovered, Sentinel Smasher, Sacrificial Lamb and Life and Death.
- Completion text - You have mastered the Incarnate Trial: Dilemma Diabolique.
- Death Denied
- Hint text - None.
- Completion text - You have completed the Incarnate Trial: Dilemma Diabolique.
- Gate Crasher (H) / Gate Crashed (V)
- Hint text - Destroy all four Repulsive Spines maintaining the protective barrier around Mot within one minute of each other during the initial assault in Dilemma Diabolique, and then complete the trial.
- Completion text - In beginning your assault on Mot during Dilemma Diabolique, you and your league did not think it sufficient to merely destroy the Repulsive Spines and bring down the protective barrier around Mot's plateau. Instead, you wanted to send a message. You wanted to bring down all the Repulsive Spines at once.... and succeeded.
- Sentinel Smasher
- How to get - Rescue the following heroes: ( Positron OR Valkyrie ), ( Manticore OR Aurora Borealis ), ( Synapse OR Ms. Liberty ), and ( Back Alley Brawler OR Mynx )
- Hint text - During Dilemma Diabolique, defeat the Sentinel with the following three powers acquired from controlled heroes: Aura of Decay (from Numina/Swan), Touch of Death (from Luminary/Sister Psyche) and Grasp of Death (from Citadel/Infernal), and then complete the trial
- Completion text - Diabolique thought she had ensured that the Sentinel could be prepared for any situation simply by absorbing the powers of the heroes she had captured. In a display of confidence or hubris, you decided to make a point by giving the Sentinel its best possible chance of defeating your league. Even in this dangerous state, you achieved victory over the Sentinel during Dilemma Diabolique.
- Sacrificial Lamb
- Hint text - During the final battle of Dilemma Diabolique, defeat Diabolique without defeating the two heroes under her control and allowing her to receive their benefits for the entire battle.
- Completion text - Though two heroes remained captured and indentured to Diabolique, you chose to ignore them during the final battle and focused instead on Diabolique. In spite of the extra complications that this choice brought to your battle against Diabolique, you still prevailed against her and put an end to her mad scheme to become Death Incarnate during Dilemma Diabolique.
- Life and Death
- Hint text - During the final battle of Dilemma Diabolique, defeat Diabolique without allowing her to heal from a single Lifegiving Essence.
- Completion text - For a woman so obsessed with becoming Death Incarnate, Diabolique sure spent a lot of energy making sure that she had a ready supply of Lifegiving Essences to keep her alive during your final battle in Dilemma Diabolique. In the end, though, they proved to be little more than an inconvenience for your league, as you did not allow a single one to successfully be used to heal her.
Section 1B: Drowning in Blood
Badges:- Sibling Rivalry

- Completion text - You have completed the Challenge Trial: Drowning in Blood.
- Brotherly Love

Section 2: Other Badges by Category.
Exploration- Dark Astoria: Accolade - Free Among the Dead
- Folly's Victim - (2228.0, 176.0001, 4895.5)
- Ever watchful of the sleeping god Mot, the Circle of Thorns have stood vigil on these grounds since its imprisonment. Even as the last of Mot's bonds were shattered, the Circle sought to contain its terrible power. Fools or heroes, the Circle's casualties were tremendous as they defied the wrath of the resurgent deity. It is said that the Demon-Prince Stolas was the first to confront the manifestations of Mot. When the Demon-Prince was broken and devoured, the ranks of his minions broke and fled into the streets of Dark Astoria.
- Palace of Stone Leaves - (4160.002, -42.0, 719.996)
- Even with every man, woman and child in Dark Astoria slaughtered, the city never ceased to be a thriving metropolis. The bonds that held Mot in its torpor also prevented the spirits of the slain from passing on. Forced to remain as ghosts among the empty remnants of their city, the citizens of Dark Astoria did their best to resume a semblance of normality. Founded by a powerful Tsoo ancestor spirit, the Palace of Stone Leaves was the nerve center of this ghostly community. Now a refuge protected vigorously by its living Tsoo guardians, it houses the few remaining spirits that were lucky enough to not be swept away and consumed when Mot first stirred from its slumber.
- Auspice Avernus - (1015.0, 114.5811, 2370.496)
- As Mot rose again into the world of the living, the very earth was sundered in the passing. The offal of its millennial imprisonment rose with it, a mephitic concoction of the most vile nature. From weeping sores and gaping maws flows a fluid of reconstitution, flushing down its titanic mass and forming pools amongst the pockets of flesh and shattered earth. Here, Mot's followers flock, intoxicating themselves on the potent fumes and ecstatically receiving visions of Mot's glory.
- Death's Head Supplicant - (1727.0, 233.2501, 904.996)
- Behold! Before you lies the glory of Mot. In this place its true body lies exposed; a vast expanse of reconstituting flesh and yawning maws, feasting on life so it can be resuscitated as it perpetually dies and rots anew. Mot's capacity for consumption does not yet equal its appetites, for much of the body is desiccated by centuries of imprisonment or is still bound in ways both arcane and metaphysical. The many mouths that scar its horrid form are, as of yet, still stifled and immature compared to their glory in antiquity. Only one has fully extended to its full voraciousness, but that one is enough to drag all of Dark Astoria into crushing oblivion.
- Walker on the Profane Ascent - (2828.502, 193.0881, 792.996)
- This was once Moth Cemetery, the hallowed ground within which Mot was sealed. As Mot's titanic will battered against the bonds that have held it for centuries, the very soil of the cemetery has roiled in revolt at the emerging presence of this vile behemoth. The seismic devastation of its passing causes the terrain to bloat, crack and surge skyward as it struggles to stand from below the ensnaring earthen edifice. As appropriate offerings to the all-consuming manifestation of Death, the vainglorious memorials have been churned down into the earth, pulverized against its corrupting flesh, as it twists and writhes to free himself; Mot abides no vanity but its own.
- Witness of Oaths - (2909.002, 191.1071, 4573.5)
- Many false heroes over the years have claimed vindication over the events that transpired in Dark Astoria, unaware that their hollow words would one day be called to account. Screaming and pleading, many have been dragged into the ruined city by the Talons of Vengeance to pay the ultimate price for oath breaking.
- Life Out of Death - (6196.5, 117.1341, 2443.996)
- Mot's hunger is insatiable and its power to feast upon life is prodigious. For sustenance, many innocent people have been spirited away into the haunted streets of Dark Astoria. Not all who have been abducted have met their end, surviving against all odds.
- Of Things Unclean - (935.50, -0.8967, 4320.50)
- The dead have always cavorted through the streets of Dark Astoria, praying and making sacrifice to their mute master, and for good reason. Even after its fall, Mot's shadow has terrorized the dreams of mankind through all of history, for it is the embodiment of all that is unnatural and vile; death most unclean.
- Folly's Victim - (2228.0, 176.0001, 4895.5)
- None.

Thanks to everyone that helped to compile this information. I'll continue to update this list on a daily basis with whatever new information is found.
Some information will not be found in the rest of this thread. Questions about the source of this information will be met with silence.
By the way, if you read past this point, you'll get huge spoilers.
It will be your own fault if you ruin the "surprize".

Ascension pieces are level 50 only, everything else is able to be used by level 1-50. Not character creation, but as soon as you are out of the tutorial or the character creator (you can't modify a costume inside the tutorial).
Any account unlocks purchased from an Incarnate Vendor act like a purchase from the Paragon Market and are yours as long as the account exists. -

The other weapons are not being represented well. Broadsword, Dual Blades and Mace have a lot of options. Axe is lagging and Katana and Claws get the least options. Even when completely obvious opportunities are available, they aren't taken.

The character is still level 50. The developers picked the bass-ackward way the Incarnate Trials are set up, not the players. They <censored> up if they wanted players to progress through the trials.Quote:Originally Posted by Golden Girl
And the reward levels are exactly the same - we've gone from fighting purples to fighting yellows and oranges - in the 1-50 game, this has an effect on the XP - on the Trials, it doesn't.
If they wanted "progression" of the trials, then they should have done this:- APEX & Tin Mage should be level 51 critters with level 54+1 AVs. Requires Alpha level shift.
- BAF & Lambda should be level 52 critters with level 54+1 AVs. Having a Tier 3 Interface OR Judgement should have granted a level shift.
- Keyes and Underground should be level 53 with level 54+2 AVs. Having a Tier 3 Lore OR Destiny should have granted a level shift.
- TPN and MoM shouldn't been released without Hybrid and Genesis slots, and should be level 54 with level 54+3 AVs. Having a Tier 3 Hybrid or Genesis should grant a level shift.

Quote:I challenge any player to name one point, any point, where anything in BAF/Lambda/Keyes/UGT/TPN/MoM are grey conning to a player.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
It's grading rewards by difficulty, just like the 1-50 game does - once you start fighting grays, you stop getting any form of progress, so you have to find tougher enemies to continue your progress - or do you still rage when you hit level 10 in Atlas Park, and the evil devs force you to move to another zone to fight tougher enemeis if you want to progress further by taking away all ther ewards from the Atlas Park enemies?
At this point the absolute lowest critter anyone faces is +1 minions. At worst, it is +3 AVs. -
