Quote:The market interface is not conductive to making pricing notes.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
There should have been some significant price changes...maybe not to the *specific* items you were looking at, however check items such as some of the costume pieces and the Enhancement Boosters. -
I know myself (on both my accounts) and two other players that are having the same problem.

Unfortunately, no. I won't spend $500 to get shiny wings. I want them badly, but not enough to spend the equivalent of the cost of a new computer on them. So, I won't pay. They won't receive the additional revenue they otherwise would if I (and others like me) were allowed to pay them for the new costumes.
- pay cash up front to get to Tier 9 VIP
- pay for a subscription over time to get to Tier 9 VIP
- do a combination of the two to get to Tier 9 VIP
Now, in the interest of moving this conversation along, what is your vet reward status? I can tell you how close you will be to your goal. -

And NCSoft pays the price by refusing to accept my money as payment for these new features.
Approximately you'll pay:
Tier 1: $0
Tier 2: Variable. Owning a Retail Code, or first purchase of Paragon Points.
Tier 3: $45 above Tier 2.
Tier 4: $90 above Tier 2.
Tier 5: $165 above Tier 2.
Tier 6: $270 above Tier 2.
Tier 7: $375 above Tier 2.
Tier 8: $480 above Tier 2.
Or you'll have to pay in time. Either way you pay. -
Quote:Great! You are monitoring/throttling rewards (MARTy) at the same time as trying to convince players to be more efficient at getting the rewards (Incarnate Reward Tables).Originally Posted by Zwillinger
As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that City of Heroes remains an environment where everyone enjoys a safe and fun online experience we will be introducing a new anti exploit detection measure in Issue 21. Wed like to take a few moments of your time to answer some questions about this new system, MARTy.
What is MARTy?
MARTy stands for Metric Activated Reward Throttle (Y? Because exploits are bad!)
Good job at sending mixed signals! -

I had a good laugh which was then followed by confusion. Is this a Canadian thing? Why is there a math bonus question on the Winners Form? Someone explain this to me please because I am amused/confused and need an "OHhhhhh, THATS why!" moment...for closure.

Quote:There is only one thing I can say to that:Originally Posted by Zwillinger
Since announcing City of Heroes Freedom we’ve been extremely excited to share all of the new features coming with Issue 21, one of the most exciting being the Paragon Rewards Program.
We’ve fielded several questions over the last several weeks about the Paragon Rewards Program, one of which being about how Paragon Reward Tokens are awarded for players who purchase Multiple Month Subscription plans. Our original design, and what we’ve been sharing, is that VIP players who purchased multi month subscription plans would be awarded all Paragon Reward Tokens at the time of purchase. Unfortunately due to technical limitations that we have been unable to overcome, this will not be the case. Instead, VIP players who purchase multiple month subscription plans will receive their Paragon Rewards Token each month on their billing cycle, at the same time they receive their monthly allotment of Paragon Points. Please note that Paragon Reward Tokens granted by the purchase of Paragon Points will grant at the time of purchase.
We do sincerely apologize that we were not able to launch Issue 21 with this feature and will continue to endeavor to implement it in the future.
Pancake!
I would have gotten the Celestial set day one, now I'll have to wait 3 months, as I can't afford to buy any points beyond my subscription. -
Quote:No, you can skip the Tier 9 consumables for the Tier 9 VIP options.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Question; Do you have to ALSO get the Tier 9 rewards BEFORE the VIP tier 9, or are they all part of the same tier? The stacking of them confused me.

Quote:Why? Nothing I've read indicates any alignment restricted badges for Issue 21.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Reminder: If you want to still be 'done' shortly after I21 goes Live (excepting the Day Jobs), you'll need to switch sides again. So, start tilting your alignment the other way and be just one Morality Mission away from switching.

Quote:My second account was due to get its 3 month Veteran Reward on September 20th.Originally Posted by Ultimus
Seen a few people talk about this and wanted to share it with everyone. The new Token system awards a token for every Veteran badge you have with the yearly badges giving two. The 13th of September is when Issue 21 goes live.
Here's the problem: People that were very close to receiving a new Veteran badge, let alone a yearly token, get a short end of the stick.
It would be nice to get an extra token, but I don't expect it.

Quote:You know, I'll go one step further than the others: Your argument doesn't hold water to our monthly subscription. We're paying real money (at least I hope we are) for virtual items that we will never own/touch/see/smell in the physical, real world. Same goes for any expansions (CoV, Good Vs. Evil, Going Rogue, and any of the boosters).Originally Posted by Zsadix
So basically, aside from our monthly subscription payments, we are going to be paying real money for virtual items that we will never own/touch/see/smell in the physical, real world? Unless of course, we have enough of these special VIP points.

After much grief, I'm in the "done club" until Tuesday.
I don't have Bug Hunter, Passport, and 3 Vet Badges. -
Well, the core group + PUG Keyes on Triumph has finally got some players the MoKeyes.
This group got "Loves a Challenge" tonight.
The somewhat core group: White Succubus (myself), -Michael, War Witch, Lady Arcana, Caravan, Blondeshell, HotPepper, and Scarlet Evans.
We did 1 badge per run over almost 30 runs. Anywhere between 3-9 Keyes every weekend (split between Saturday and Sunday nights).
This particular set of runs we had only team 1 attacking Anti-Matter. Team 2 had hospital duty, with HotPepper calling out AM's health & obliteration beam times. Team 3's only duty was to heal anyone disintegrating or getting hurt and to NOT attack AM.
We didn't restrict people from flying, though those flying did so fairly low. Without the full league, it was easier to see the obliteration beam (though some players did get caught in it).
Edit:
There are a number of people I've done some of these badges with since the beginning of August, I intend to keep doing Keyes badge runs until they get the badges as well. -
I wasn't intending to. Sayaki was running these.
Team 1 was the only ones attacking AM. Team 3 were healing only. Team 2 were in the hospital, with HotPepper/Smexy calling out the obliteration beams (5 seconds before they dropped).
Team 3 stayed out of sight to avoid getting caught in the initial attack from AM (the cause of the first run's failure). -
Thanks to this group, Triumph has finally got people with the Master of Keyes badge.
For those that haven't got the badges, I (and others from this group) will help out.
Thanks all for the last 2 months at these attempts. -
Posted this in your other thread, and didn't see this one, but:
In February 2005, they had a buddy code give-away that new players could use instead of a retail purchase of CoH to start an account (15 days free, could continue to subscribe without a retail box).

Forumer's name? Sheesh.Quote:Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
If you're at least tier 8 VIP, you get 550 PP free every month. Check out <insert forumer's name here>'s guide to the reward levels. Long as you're not interested in the powers, it's definitely a net win... even if you're not interested in some of the powers but are in others (i.e. I already have the GvE Jump Pack... I don't really need a second!)
