Snow Globe

I thought you were only testing the new Titan Sentinel with an extremely limited amount of people...

The badge hit-box for the location circled above is missing, under the water/ground plane, or completely inactive on the Nova Praetoria side. I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a bug when every other bridge that spans a zone boundary qualifies on both sides.

I was talking to one player last night that couldn't access their Premium account (due to lack of payment), but could get on their VIP account.

Didn't you already enter the game on the 23rd? At least I assume that it was you that made this post:
Or how about this post:
If you did log in before yesterday, you qualified your entire game account for the badge.

While a mission is set, the mission holder gets mentoring credit. While a mission is not set, the team leader is the one that has the star, and they get mentoring credit.

The head start period was September 13-26. If you haven't logged in during that time, I'm forced to assume you missed out. It is an account wide badge.

Guide: Premium Accounts and Paragon Rewards.

Has the info you seek.

Wrong.

The Player Guides section and Paragon Wiki frequently do NOT have the info that is in the badge section. In some cases the badge information is not even in the Beta sections (which get deleted).

Frequently badge questions get asked that go back 4+ issues.

Your assessment of the section cannot be further from the truth.

Additionally, like the AT sections, it is a focus section, and it has mainly served its purpose: keeping the badge discussions in one section of the forums. If eliminated, then badge discussions would be all over the forums and would be impossible to keep track of.

At most, Gladiators should be removed because no one actually uses the Badges and Gladiators section to talk about gladiators, and haven't for years. I think most people aren't aware they still exist.

This is another reason to keep the badge section.

Actually, my presumption is that they are using the downtime to enable premium accounts. The reason there are so many downtimes is to not have the servers go down for 24+ hours in one shot.

I tend to have my graphics settings turned way down during trials to minimize the chances of crashing.

Screenshot? Is it a particle effect?

Actually, even I don't know exactly what to look for as far as status effects about the WotE. Probably because I -can't- see most of the effects.

I do see when I'm targeted, as I can see "targeted" under my health bar.

This brings up a point that affects both Keyes and Underground though: Graphic Effects and the atrociously poor handling of visual cues in them.

Let's start with the league interface: Targeted players need to be highlighted in the league/team window. Have the player's health bar change color. It doesn't matter if the player is the target of disintegration, one of the War Walkers, or the Avatar. The player name should highlight when they are in range of a demolition charge (within the proximity).

The following auras/attacks are incredibly hard to see:

• Alpha Entanglement
• Beta Entanglement
• Disintegration
• Obliteration beam (fuzzy green aura on the ground or above the player is hard to see)
• Will of the Earth
• Any of the War Walker attacks
• Lichen Regeneration area

Sometimes even Apex suffers from this in the final battle with Battle Maiden.

And no one has brought forth a valid receipt for their purchase that shows that they've:
A) Bought it.
B) That it includes the Incarnate System.

Until such a time that ANYONE, and I do mean anyone, can provide a valid receipt that shows they bought access to the Incarnate System, they have NO BASIS FOR MAKING THAT CLAIM. If they TRY to make that claim, then they are wrong and are trying to get something for nothing because everything found says they could not possibly have bought the pre-sale GR with a statement that it included the Incarnate System.

No one here has to DISPROVE a claim that someone bought the Incarnate System with the pre-sale of Going Rogue. The person making that claim has to prove they did.

That you insist on asking for proof the pre-sales page didn't have the Incarnate System on it is completely irrational and pointless. You should be demanding people making the claim show you a receipt where the Incarnate System was included. If they can't provide that, then don't listen to them.

All the locations:



There is a problem bridge though. It is the one circled below:



Get it from the Imperial City side.

Badges and Gladiators gets purged on a more frequent basis than other sections, which is why there are less threads there. In a lot of cases there should be more purging elsewhere as well.

Both these reasons are why I subscribe to sections and access the forums mainly from my User CP. This gives me a personalized forums that is tailored to my interests.

I wish I could subscribe to the Admin and Community Team digests there and have the character copy tool accessible from that page as well.

This I would have to agree with.

Forum games serves a purpose. It is there to make sure the silliness is mostly contained there and not spread out over the forums in general. If you don't like it, don't go to it.

No fracken way. It is hard enough to find the guide you want sometimes as it is. That is also one section that rarely gets purged for a reason: Players use it.

The only way reason to remove the Player Guides section would be if Paragon Studios were to buy paragonwiki from the Titan group.

Where do you draw the line? Besides which it was probably easier just to program all the Incarnate Powers to turn off if premium.

Why don't they have to prove that, against all documentation, they are owed something?

Why don't they have to prove that they got a notice that they were buying a preview of the Incarnate System before it was announced? The announcement of Going Rogue Pre-Orders dated back to Feb 18th, 2010. Pre-Orders went on sale the first week in March 2010. It wasn't until March 26 to March 28, 2010 with PAX East that the Incarnate System was announced. Logic dictates that any pre-sales before PAX East did not include any mention of the Incarnate System.

Even if it DID include mention of the Incarnate System, it would have said it was a preview. So a demo. The limited demo was removed from Issue 18 during beta. It was added to beta in around the beginning of June 2010 and removed in July 2010.

The EULA clearly states the game is subject to change.

So anyone saying that the Incarnate System was included in Going Rogue needs to show proof that:

• The Incarnate System was a part of the pre-sales before it was officially announced.
• The Incarnate System was not a feature that was tested and subsequently removed during Issue 18/GR beta.

Until such time as they can offer any proof of the above, they don't have anything to back up their claims. On the flip side, the document trail clearly shows that the Incarnate System was announced a month after pre-sales started which means that the people saying it wasn't included have shown their proof and are waiting for someone to prove them wrong.

You can't waltz in here and say that someone making an outrageous claim shouldn't have to back up their claims. Of course they do. I could claim that I am the current President of the United States, despite the fact that I'm a white guy from Canada. A lot of people wouldn't take me seriously if I did though. Even the people that did take me seriously would demand proof (and rightfully so).

So where is your proof that the Incarnate System was put into the pre-sales package a month before it was announced at PAX East?

The Alpha Slot wasn't in Issue 18 Beta until late May-Early June, and was stripped out mid-July.

I'm certain that they are working on content that will cost active subscribers Paragon Points. I can only speculate on whether that content is a new bought Trial or a "Super Signature Arc" with voice acting.

That slope is already plenty slippery at the moment and it looks to be getting faster.

You bought something, it wasn't a bug.

It depends on the aura.

The following auras are individual purchases:

• Alpha Aura
• Omega Aura
• Runes Aura
• Tarot Cards Aura
• Toxic Vapor Aura
• Bio Plasma Aura
• Leaves Aura
• Thunderhead Aura
• Atomic Aura
• Cryogenic Aura
• Steamjets Aura
• Sparks Aura
• Cyborg Auras
• Fleas Aura
• Beastly Rage Aura
• Victorian Decor Aura
• Clunker Aura
• Volcanic Aura

Think of it this way, you paid 2x what you would pay for a single aura (single auras are 80 PP) and got access to 16 auras before level 30 across the one account (Electricity, Fiery, Fireflies, Flies, Gaseous, Glow, Glowing Aura, Rocky Crumble, Smoky, Smoldering, Snow, Sparkles, Starburst Glow, Tendrils, Vaporous).

Fireflies is a basic aura. Unlocking that unlocks all basic auras. You paid 160 Paragon Points. You can do the aura missions at level 30 on your second account, but you don't need to.

This is why it is important to read the description of what you were buying. The aura you unlocked was for all basic auras account wide.

I really wish I could find more of the first group on Triumph.

Keyes can be either incredibly fun or an exercise in frustration. Yes, the learning curve is far too steep for Keyes. For some parts of the Underground (SRWW, LIWW, and Avatar Fight), it is the same.

I blame them for a lot of things in Keyes, things that I pointed out in beta. I also blame them for dismissing feedback on both Underground and Keyes. They had too many of group 1 and not enough of group 2 during the Issue 20 pre-beta. When a few of us pointed out that wasn't the always the case, the developers pretty much said that people would learn.

They didn't learn, they just stopped playing the content. So group 1 is been through Keyes and are looking for the next challenge while group 2 is either still struggling or just ignoring Keyes.

Or "move away from the group if you are targeted". Then again, I had one player that only talked on team chat on that Underground last night. An experienced player, no less.

After 3 calls to regroup at the hospital, I still had to teleport 3 players away from Hami during that trial. I probably should put them on a permanent "no-invite" list, because I'm tired of this crap.

The problem is that the person screwing up usually doesn't take the punishment.

The Going Rogue pre-purchase was announced 1 month before the Incarnates were announced in the PAX video. Given that the Pax Panel announced the Incarnate System, that means logically that the Incarnate System could not be a selling point for the pre-purchase. It also means that I can say with certainty that the pre-purchase store listing did not include the Incarnate System.

Therefore your position is without merit.

No, you are asking the wrong people to prove things. The people you NEED to ask to prove their position are the people claiming that the Incarnate System was included. And when people are showing that all documentation points to the exact opposite, you are claiming that it "isn't enough". At that point you step beyond expressing curiosity and cross the line to accusing the people trying to show that all the documentation points the other way are being false.

Basically: You are doing it wrong.
