Snow Globe

How do you know if there isn't a limit of 40x$5 purchases, 14x$15 purchases, 4x$50 purchases, 2x$100 purchases in a month?

They are supposed to be different. The ones that landed in Bloody Bay were scouts and took on aspects of where they landed (assumed graves buried under the meteorites). They -are- the Coming Storm. I would expect to see more types of Shivans introduced as new issues come out.

Yes, but the tutorial/training process now extends to level 20 with the ongoing training missions. Didn't you read about those in the patch notes?

You are incapable of getting defeated in the new tutorial.

You didn't listen to the speaker telling you that you can change later, huh? Or pay any attention whatsoever about the last year of the game with Going Rogue, huh? You roleplay through the tip system.

The old tutorials are BORING, annoying, not fun, and yet if you prefer to do the old tutorial missions, the maps are still in the flashback system in the intro to Ouro arc.

Some people aren't grateful that (a) they'll never miss the tutorial badge on another character, and (b) that you don't have to delay getting into the game to hunt for badges.

Then the security measures aren't good enough.

If I recall correctly Positron stated on one of the Ustreams that they "had plans in place" to prevent people from purchasing from new to Tier 9 "right away".

Congratulations, you found the security to prevent people from buying Tier 9 in a week!

On a personal note, I'm thankful for that because (1) it protects Paragon Studios from potential fraud and (2) prevents someone with more money than brains from devaluing my past subscription time.

Use a Liberate before using rebirth should prevent that.

To get a list of your unlocks you can use the /mypurchases command.

Warning: it will spam your system message channel.

The easiest way to see it outside of the game is to:

• enable chat logging
• use the /mypurchases command
• close the game
• change the log file extension to .htm
• open the log file in a browser

This is exactly what the little lock means.

Edit:
Looking at the picture, I would guess the face part has been changed/moved.

Edit2:
You will be able to enter the tailor session, and look for the parts with price changes. You were given a free tailor token to fix the parts without cost to you. If you are not satisfied, you can back out without changing the costume.

The /mypurchases list these as:

• Aura Unlock - Account wide MTX unlock to access base Auras.
• Back Slot Unlock - Account wide MTX to access base "Capes"

So do I. I might get after Paragon Studios for some stuff, but they need to make the collector's stuff available.

You aren't talking about the same thing.

The 12 month veteran reward unlocks:

• Prestige Power Dash
• Prestige Power Quick
• Prestige Power Rush

It does NOT grant access to:

This. I'm pretty sure extortion would be considered griefing.

Something seems wrong.

Careful, some bite back.

This is the correct answer. PM Zwillinger, Avatea, Freitag, Beastyle, or 7deCoeur.

Look, for all I know, it could be the person holding this up is Positron himself. I do know that it caught Zwillinger by surprise, so even he didn't know the fundamental reason. Given the front line community rep didn't know I think that the expectation that any player, including myself, would know why is completely unreasonable.

I've told you the official answer, I've shown you where you can find the official answer from a senior developer at Paragon Studios, and I can't change the official answer.

Short of the person who is blocking this leaving, the CoH and CoV collector's goodies will not be available in the market.

Check out one of the recorded Ustreams from Tuesday morning:

Go to time Index 00:41:40 - 00:42:15 for your explanation. Positron said that some people will have to be not working at Paragon Studios for the power slide to be made available on the Paragon Market. I'm guessing there is a contractual obligation with an artist involved preventing them from releasing the Power Slide & Cape of the Four Winds.

The end result is the same. It will NOT be put on the market for the foreseeable future. It may never appear on the market, at least as far as Positron has said. I'll assume the same can be said about the CoV Collector's Edition.

Technically it is the beginning of your next month, not the end of the current month.

I did that with a text editor that supported regular expressions and a bit of common sense. The lack of a transaction history is, to be blunt, retarded. I seldom use the term retarded because I think the term is too much of an insult to mentally challenge people.

However retarded is also used as "to slow the growth or development of" something. That describes the market exactly.

And when I pointed this out to Clockwork 01, he said the situation was "less than ideal". His "less than ideal" is, in my opinion, a bunch of refuse that should be taken to a recycling facility to make something useful.

Yup.

I've done a more complex site (by myself) while I was in school (Art Institute), over the course of 4 weeks while doing other projects AND hand coding the Scoop. AJAX isn't needed for the current state of the Paragon Market. PHP/MySQL, yes.

I think that the standard code rant needs to be updated because of situations like this.

For those that want an easy to remember link:

And how many characters you get on a server isn't material. The store will not only be open to subscribers. If you are going to look at prices, you will have to take both extremes into account. So $10 for the player (subscriber or premium) that only plays one character vs $0.003 for the person with 768 characters (who is unlikely to get use out of all those slots). The average is still $5 per costume slot.

I've not looked at the character limit on that other game, but the same math applies. Only they are 1/4 the price of this game. And there isn't a limit as to how many characters you can have at the other game. There isn't a limit of 10 costume slots per character in that other game. Yes, you might start out with less characters, but given that they get a free character slot for each max level character, the value of their costume slots goes down far quicker than here.

Combined, the 1/4 the price and the no upper limit shows that the price for costume slots here is about as justified as the $90 monocle in Eve.

Ok, so I transposed costume slots to characters. Outside of using the test & beta servers, it is possible to have 768 characters. 192 characters is unlikely for most players. The same player getting use out of 960 costume slots is smaller still. Your theoretical limit is still bunk.

Because I know you won't put your money where your mouth is. You won't back up your position, and I'm calling you out on it.

No, it is really not relevant. However if I did want to discuss it, my cable company lets me buy channels individually in an a la carte process. Or they'll bundle channels if I choose. If I choose the bundles, I get a discount for more channels. I still get to pick which channels. I get a base set of channels as a part of my subscription, just like I get 12 character slots at each server. So I don't see any relevance to discussing Cable pricing.

I did 1 Underground and 2 BAFs last night. I'm positive I could have done 4 more BAFs in the time it took to form & do the one Underground. I might have been able to do a 5th BAF, but that would have been dependent on what kind of group I could have found.

I was thinking of posting a "DOOM! The world is ending in 800 months!" thread.

If anyone is still playing in 2077, I wonder if they will get an extension to those licences (there are a couple).

I think I caught everything at this point, feel free to let me know if I missed anything.

It shouldn't be possible to buy anything you have already unlocked. According to Clockwork 01, the best way to check costumes is through the tailor.

It should be noted that the Paragon Market sells only 1 Cyborg Aura, leading one to think that all are unlocked with the same 80 PP purchase.
