Pretty much all of the "answer" (versus the "request clarification") posts in this thread are saying just that. Free users do not have access to inventions, period. Ever. Premiums only have access to inventions with either a) a $2 license that lasts one month, or b) a bunch of vet tokens.

Insults aside? I didn't insult you at all. Don't take away anything from my posts that isn't there. I said you may not be able to parse CoD (this is not an insult, and is a common occurrence that I've seen here and on the Titan forums) or that you may not be able to read (which is an obvious joke because you're posting on a text-based forum).

According to the costume panel, the clipping they're talking about is how a back-item jetpack would clip with a temporary-power jetpack (e.g. GvE Jump Pack, Raptor Pack, Steamjet, etc.) They have no way to make the temporary-power jetpack not show up and animate alongside/inside/overtop of the back-item. And thus it looks really bad.

Although to be honest, the back items we have now look really bad with temporary-power jetpacks. They're just not competing for the same animation "style" (e.g. two flight packs, vs a backpack and a flight pack).

Giant is correct. If a Premium account has the $2/mo license, they can access Inventions unlimited. If a Preemie account has 27 reward tokens (fill up Tier 7), they can access Inventions unlimited. If neither of these are true, a Preemie cannot access anything to do with Inventions. (Same as a Freemie.)

I linked there in the second post in this thread -- and the OP either cannot parse CoD (somewhat common, the first time I saw CoD it made my eyes cross), or simply cannot read (less likely, considering he's posting on a text-based forum [ignoring blindness accessibility for a crass joke]).

My first link goes to Scrapper Burn - nowhere in it does it say fear or avoid.
My second link goes to Pets_Burn, which is the pseudo pet that Scrapper Burn summons, in addition to Tanker, Brute, and Blaster Burn...in addition to a couple other sources. So there is literally no way for the pseudo pet that Scrapper Burn summons to be different from the pseudo pets that Tanker or Brute Burn summon. They are the same thing.

You realize that almost nobody cares what they're officially called, right?

The devs told a funny story at the PAX panel about the Awesome buttons, that during some kind of secret preview with no cameras/filming, people wearing Awesome buttons (which have a tiny little red blinking light, quite like the recording light of a camcorder) would trigger the camera police to swoop in with the "naughty!" finger-shake, only to leave frustrated and confused.

At the costume panel, I was the first in line during the costume suggestion part and I asked for Kheldian sashes. Second Measure wrote it down. I saw him do it! *squinty stare in California's direction* I saw him do it!

Hehe, speaking of things that "will never be looked into" - I21 removes interruption from Gun Drone. Additionally, the defiance bonus from it will be increased.

That's not counting marathon play dates (especially common in DXP!) which reduces the "x a day every day" number, nor does it factor in AFK farming for badges (damage and healing were/are the most common AFK farming). Plus there are surveys and polls all over the net that say there is a rather large slice of the gaming community that *DOES* *INDEED* play for many hours, every day (or at least most days).

I would not be surprised at all to see some people coming in over that, especially folks with multiple badging toons, extra especially if they got the AFK farming badges before they were made easier.

Just curious, what post are you reading? Because it certainly isn't mine. It doesn't imply a darn thing about what people will be when Freedom launches. It says "everyone subscribing right now is a VIP without being called a VIP" (paraphrase), with nary a hint at "after "right now"".

The devs' stance is "no replacing old powers" (this is called the "cottage rule") unless it's replaced with something substantially the same but better (see: Conserve Power -> Energize). They have never, ever said "no updating old powers, only create new". The devs regularly go back and tweak old sets/powers; in addition to the above listed changes, PBs and WSs are getting updates in I21.

Several powers and sometimes whole sets - sometimes whole ATs! - have gotten changed over the last couple years. (Ignoring the standard balancing tweaks that always come with newly released sets, even!)

Specifically in regards to the FF comments at the panel (I was there), they said they would look at how FF performs (considering it has several powers that do almost exactly the same thing) in the later levels. But they also said they wouldn't guarantee anything would come of it.

Sure does.

/silly/ But with the introduction of Day Job Badges, he's not blacking out, he's just going "On Patrol"! Or he's doing his duty as a "Vanguard Recruit"! /silly/
