Quote:Troll Tunnels are better for Trolls.Originally Posted by Dark_RespiteTroll bosses: Skyway City
Gearsmasher: Do the Synapse TF and you'll have it in no time
Lost bosses: do laps around Perez Park (inside the walls of the park), or else hit Terra Volta.
Skulls/Hellions: Perez.
Paragon Protectors: Eden.
Fake Nems/Overseers: Shadow Shard, try Point Sierra.
CoT mages: the Hollows near Skyway's entrance.
Igneous bosses: turn on your AoE spam and hit the middle of the Hollows.

BP masks - Talos Island (Argo Highway area), Bloody Bay and Dark Astoria
Shivans - Bloody Bay
Toxic Tarantulas - RWZ/Siren's Call
better place for Gears - Boomtown
DE emanators - Eden
Prisoners - Brickstown
better place for Rikti Monkeys - Monkey Island
CoT Mages... Anywhere. They spawn most levels, there is always another CoT mission around. The Demon farms also count...
Family and Warrios bosses, I'd go Striga.
Shivans, red side Echo Through the Aeons arc, Bloody Bay, or the Intro to Ouroborus arcs.
Toxic Tarantulas, Statesmen Task Force, Khan Task Force.
DE emanators, the outside east wall of Terra Volta
Monkeys, on top of the buildings in Crey's Folly, LGTF, or any Rikti arc.
BP masks only spawn during game night. Bring 3+ friends to have more spawn.
Tsoo Sorcerers, I hunt around Spanky's Boardwalk.
Also people might want to look at the following guide:

I've been running my 50 scrapper to get as many CoV badges as I can before returning to Hero status.
I have a progress bar for 3 0f 100 Cold Demons on Thorn Isle. I've running around Thorn Isle hitting Succubuses for CoT badge but haven't seen any cold demons (Hellfrosts?)
Any help? -
Quote:Actually, that is possible now.Originally Posted by medic57
Oh, I forgot one more "wish". A shared bank so that toons can trade things without having to get a 3rd person.
If you (in-game) email to your global name, you can get Inf or most items on another character. You can do this with up to 20 items at a time. -
Quote:According to the developers, once you got the reward table you had a chance to get common<->very rare on a weighted random roll. Players have guessed those weights to be around:Originally Posted by Samhain
Are the commons, uncommons, rares and very rares still based on participation? Did it get any tweaking?
- Very Rare : Rate = 5% (Natural 20 on a D20)
- Rare : Rate = 20% (16-19 on a D20)
- Uncommon : Rate = 50% (6-15 on a D20)
- Common : Rate = 25% (1 - 5 on a D20)
They did lower the participation metric so that more people would qualify for that random roll. While it is still possible to get the thread table, it is hard to do if you are participating. -
Quote:I put links to the strategies on the MoKeyes page linked above.Originally Posted by Vanden
When I posted that link the strategies were written on the individual badge pages, but they got moved to their own pages since then. If someone could come up with a good way to link to the strategies pages on the MoKI badge page that'd be nice. I don't know any of the wiki's fancy formatting codes, all I can do is write content.

Quote:As far as has been revealed, XP Boosters, Windfall, Unslotters, and Enhancement boosters are available for purchase on the Paragon Market by everyone. Yes, Tier 9 players (both VIP and Premium) can get them with Reward Tokens.Originally Posted by Gunbunny
Thanks for the quote from paragonwiki. It sure makes things more clearly then the picture did.
A bit surprised by the small difference between tier 9 and tier 9 vip.
However, the differences bewteen Tier 9 (vip or otherwise) and the lower tiers is big.
Most of the other tiers are already filled with existing Veteran Rewards. Newer VIP players actually get those rewards 3x Faster (if not more). If they buy more stuff from the Paragon Market. Next week I'll have the 78 month Vet Reward badge. A new player can get the same rewards I get currently after 24 months (24 months subscription + 2 year tokens) if they don't buy any Paragon Points. If they DO buy Paragon Points, they will accelerate their Paragon Rewards.Quote:Originally Posted by Gunbunny
This is not the way I would have prefered to see things implemented. I would have prefered that every VIP had been given the same access. Of course longterm players would have had more goodies to start with but every VIP should have the same opportunities to get the new shinies. So for now, I will remain negative about this part of the F2P transition.
In other words, new players have more, not less, opportunities to get the new shinies faster than I did, and only spend 1/3 as much as I did.
Every VIP (and premium account that buys enough) will have access to reward tiers 1-9. The only "walled-off" area is the Tier 9 VIP where you have to be a VIP to access. -

The status page updates every 10 minutes, and does not load ANY data from the Official Server status page/XML. It attempts to connect to the game servers directly so a server my show as up on my page, but not be fully up, or accessible at the time. -
Quote:No, it was removed due to some beta testers' complaints that there wasn't any content to go with the Incarnates System. Instead of unlocking via Ramiel's arc, you had to do one of the following:Originally Posted by Lost Ninja
I wonder if the removal of Incarnate stuff from GR pre-launch was because that was the point the finalised their internal plans for Freedom
- Cathedral of Pain
- ITF
- LGTF
- STF
- RSF
- Khan TF
- Cuda SF
- 250 Vanguard Merits
- Some kind of PVP unlock.
- I can't remember the amount, but there was an Alignment Merit unlock and a Reward Merit unlock as well.

Quote:My Going Rogue: Complete Collection retail box lists:Originally Posted by Mega_Jamie
So that whole "not loosing access to things you have purchased" line doesn't quite hold out then?
- Alpha- and Omega-themed auras
- Alpha- and Omega-themed costume sets
- Four new stance emotes
- The Shadowy Presence invisibility power
It does mention moral choices (tips and alignment missions) and Praetoria, but not the Incarnate System. -
Quote:Yes, it was my dyslexia that transposed the two. However, if he had done this:Originally Posted by Mandu
I understood it perfectly well. It's not the fault of the op that you read it as "a 15 month" rather than "15 a month".
"I can't seem to find a way to subscribe to the game... Do they not do $15 a month plan any more? Do they just take game time cards and such now?"
See? Very clear. At any rate I did answer his question in the first post. -

Quote:The time before this one wasn't cross-marketing, as I got a french advertisement for EU players. While I'm Canadian, I'm from the west coast. Some go-getter on the Aion staff got a hold of the master newsletter list and hit "send all". The fact that I got a duplicate within minutes suggests that they said to themselves "whoops" and tried to do the typical "I don't know how this email thing works" and tried to call it back. Instead they sent another copy. Yes, I've dealt with this type of office worker before.Originally Posted by Captain_Photon
I doubt it's a blunder. That kind of thing is classic cross-marketing. You May Also Like...
Note that I make no warranty as to whether it's a good idea; but I bet it's entirely on purpose. -

Quote:The Associate Producer, Clockwork 01, said no. The front-line Community Rep, Zwillinger, has told us that HE has been told to tell us that it isn't going to happen. I've provided links to where they said it above.Originally Posted by Grouchybeast
Although I could also see the devs deciding to give access to the Alpha slot as a taster to encourage people to pony up for a sub.
In fact, that would actually be a good reason for the shards/threads split between the Alpha and the other incarnate slots.
I don't know how much clearer the statement can be:
If you are NOT a subscriber you will NOT be able to access the Incarnate System. -
Quote:It is the webstaff including non-Aion subscribers. While I'm not discounting the PlayNC master account is vulnerable (Arcanaville has a strong professional opinion on that subject), this just seems the typical blunder of the PlayNC staff.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
I thought Aion was the game where accounts got hacked. I don't know if NCSoft thinks I'm an Aion player, or if my PlayNC master account is vulnerable.

Depends on how much vet status you've earned, or if you buy access. Your post suggest multiple years of subscription time, so I'm not sure you have anything to worry about.
Edit:
The closest answer I've seen is this:

It is only slower the first time, after that, all you need to do to restore is to type:
/chatload -
Go to another of your characters enter the following:
/chatsave
Go back to the character with the messed up chat and enter the following:
