    Greetings Fansy. On behalf of Paragon Studios, I'd like to offer you the follow tidbits:
    • You will be sad to find that we have a lack of Sand Giants roaming the streets of Paragon City, the Rogue Isles and Praetoria.
    • Please be mindful of the roaming Jerk Hackers or else you may find yourself gone to the Americans.
    • Go.Hunt.Kill Skuls.
    That is all.

    -Z

    I've forwarded this one up the chain yet again.

    I feel supremely confident in making the following statement:

    Issue 21 will not launch this weekend on live servers.

    By the way, Phil's Intrepid Informer article is up in the News and Announcements section. Still have some issues with publishing it to the website unfortunately .

    Re: space at the Meet & Greet - We've got the Billiards Room and the Study Area on hold for that night, additionally we're going to have more space blocked off.

    When thinking about Soon™, keep this in mind:

    We will be releasing new content on a weekly basis in the Paragon Market.

    It's not alive .

    The dish is called Odori-Don (Japanese cuisine ftw!). When you pour Soy Sauce on the squid, the sodium activates the neurons, causing it to "dance".

    For some reason when you said "Kheldian Surprise" I thought of this...

    We're experiencing some issues that are affecting the Paragon Market, the Paragon Rewards Program and VIP status. Please bear with us as we work to resolve this.

    Thanks!

    Please be patient as the log in server is most likely getting hammered right now.

    We have forward those of you who are reporting inability to access the Beta server.

    Thanks!

    Currently the Mac Client has some critical issues when attempting to access the Issue 21 Beta.
    • Mac players are able to the play I21 Beta if they create Praetorian characters or transfer their characters from live to beta.
    • Mac players will get a crash when they try to access the Paragon Market. Mac players are unable to complete the neutral tutorial because one of the missions is to purchase the Knowledgeable badge from the Paragon Market.
    We're working with Transgaming to resolve these critical issues, however we do not currently have an ETA for when these will be resolved. We'll keep you all updated and let you know just as soon as we have more information!

    Thanks and our sincere apologies for this inconvenience.

    I come bearing tidings of good news:

    For the purposes of the VIP Beta (and the VIP Beta only, so no, you can't keep them when we go live ), we will be seeding all currently active accounts with 10,000 Paragon Points, so you can spend to your hearts desire in the Paragon Market.

    This will be live when Beta comes up tonight (fingers crossed, knock on wood, spin around in a circle and spit over your left shoulder).

    I'd save that for tomorrow

    You never know what's going to happen on day one of open beta.

    We'll have Beta forums open when the server opens, along with patch notes.

    For the duration.

    Can we combine three others to get it?

    Do the upper level version grant a discount or something?
    It's actually a free floating, round button (movable by the player). It feels pretty unobtrusive to me.

    You're welcome.
    FWIW, this icon will be changing.

    And no, it doesn't take up a slot in your inspiration tray

    You'll be able to test Street Justice, for a very limited time, once we allocate points. Time Manipulation and Beam Rifle should be available as well. I can't confirm that 100% as Clockwork O1 has gone home for the evening.

    We'll be issue Paragon Points at some point during the beta, but I don't believe we'll have them available with tomorrow's launch. For now, enjoy the Issue 21 content and have fun window shopping in the store!

    All current subscribers, i.e.; anyone who would be VIP when Freedom launches .

    Freedom Friday should be a reveal day where they reveal something small to medium regarding Freedom...

    Just my two orange cents!
    This has never been the intent of Freedom Friday. The intent of Freedom Friday has always been to answer questions from folks who otherwise wouldn't have their questions answered.

    Freedom Friday is another way of reaching out to players outside of the forums. The forums hit a limited segment of our Community and Facebook has broad reach. This combines with the fact that a considerable number of folks who follow us on Facebook are not current subscribers to the game, as evidenced by many of the comments.

    Not everything has to be a reveal. We've been doing quite a bit of revealing as of late .
