Lowbie sidekicked to a boosted 50 team: don't take more than you can chew. This means you'll want to dial back your normal playstyle so that you don't overrun the natural 50s (possible 50+1s).
Remember: you're not sidekicked to level 50...you're actually combat level 49, so you're already one level worse, and the higher the difficulty is, the less effective you are - even if you're running natural level content, if you boost your difficulty up you'll be less effective. That's just how the game works. But sidekicked up, you have an automatic one level deficiency versus doing your natural level content.
Pull back. Take a breath. Let someone else do the heavy lifting.
But most important: Have fun. Don't worry about not pulling all of your weight. It won't be noticed. -
Ultra: you should get your points by the end of the day, the script was started this morning to grant everyone's monthly PP if their billing date is Oct 1-10. There's an announcement thread for accounts with this issue. If you don't get your points by tomorrow morning, contact support.
Spad: you will get your points on the 20th with your billing date. -

Considering that a lot of these new players are playing these missions and experiencing the story behind them for the very first time ever, I seriously question whether XP has much to do with it. I know that the OP referred to XP, but it's possible that he is projecting what he thought the players were thinking onto them or that the new players were shy about admitting that they want to take a minute to read what they were doing instead of getting as far as, "The disturbance I have been sensing seems to spiral ever wider. The industrial complex--" MISSION COMPLETE!
Also, your last sentence? The OP didn't mean "speed run" as in "go as fast as possible" - the OP meant "stealth run" which is skipping some things that make a TF tedious, but not pushing some invisible timer. Your last sentence is completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand. -
Nope. In order to unlock a contact-locked TF on a character, you MUST do the contact. Via Ouroboros if you have to.

Which is fair enough, but 200-500 XP difference between boss and Elite boss doesn't seem right to me.
Lemkin was brought in line, that's all. -
Open Window menu (or ALT+W). See list at bottom of menu.

Explain that mission completion XP dwarfs any XP that trickles in when killing everything, and pretty much only the most stubborn XP-addicts will refuse to stealth some to make things less tedious.

SSA2 is showing up in the PMarket now. Not purchasable yet. (Guessing after patch.)

What purpose does this cult have in kidnapping Numinas father, and who exactly is behind the growing number of attacks against the Freedom Phalanx? -
Quote:Amazon is a false example. Amazon's wishlist is not "just like" Paragon Market's. Amazon allows other people to purchase off of your wishlist. In fact, most websites allow other people to purchase off your wishlist; that's the point of them most of the time.Originally Posted by Kioshi
This. Like, basically EVERY online store I buy from has a wishlist just like the one on Paragon Market. Amazon, Brazilian stores, Korean videogame ones, whatever.
Would love to use the PMarket wishlist in Amazon fashion. -
I saved some dude in Nadia's arc and he showed up later on in Noble Savage's story arc as a combat ally.
I'm playing through it on a second character and I killed him on that character. I haven't gotten to the appropriate mission yet on the second character, but I hope I get some flavor text in a nod to killing him - or maybe get a different combat ally, or something.
I really did do a double-take when my character stepped into the mission and the guy hailed me. "Hey! I remember that guy!" Loved it. -
Quote:Yes. Buying points is cumulative. How much you spend on it doesn't matter at all. The only thing that matters is how many points you end up with. Get 400 points ($5), get 400 points, get 400 points, and you get a token. Get 1320 points ($15) and you get a token (with 120 points leftover toward your next token). Get 4600 points ($50) and get 3 tokens (with 1000 points leftover toward your next token).Originally Posted by Shadowe
Because even Positron wasn't sure, when he was asked, IIRC.
Edit: Also, if a free player lays out $5 (getting them to Tier 2) and then later on eventually gets $40 worth of points, would that count as 3 more tokens (having spent $45 on points, total)?
Adding a box grants VIP time, which is all that is needed for a reward token. It doesn't matter how you get it. Even free time from refer-a-friend, "buy 12 months get 2 months free", and other stuff counts (which is why people's veteran dates doesn't necessarily match their billing dates).Quote:Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
And while I don't think it's been confirmed if adding a box gives you a token for the month of VIP, the first box on an account awards a bonus token. And you can frequently find an old retail box for less than $15 shipped ( so it would give 1 token, possibly 2 to new accounts), especially if you have something like a big lots nearby
Adding THE FIRST BOX to a new account would grant two tokens: 1 for having a retail code, and 1 for having one month of VIP time. (This will mean this new player would have 3 tokens total, since every account starts with 1 token.) -
Quote:The "total F2P" people will never work their way up the tiers. If they are truly "total F2P" that means they will never spend money on the game, and thus will never progress. Only people who spend money progress (via subscription, buying points, or both).Originally Posted by BrandX
Now the one's they're losing money on, are the total F2P, who will actually continue to play, and evr so slooowly work their way up the tier's (which what...4 years for tier 3?) , but for those, they're just wasting bandwidth, while giving their payingsubcribers a potential teammate, and making the servers look busier.
The ones you're referring to are "premiums" and "potential premiums" (freemies who are willing to spend money). -
Quote:This is not PER BOX. It is 1 for having one or more boxes. A maximum of one token is granted, even if you have every retail code they have ever put out (like me).Originally Posted by The_Spad_EU
1 per retail box code applied to your account (you can probably still find them cheap in stores or online)

You are, indeed, misreading Zwill.
Everyone who was active at Freedom launch (Sept 13) got an extra allotment of points on the 14th.
Players with October billing dates (regardless if your account will renew or not; EVERYONE has a monthly billing date) between October 1 and October 11 will have their points awarded on the 11th, and each month the points award date will scoot backward toward their actual billing date. This should be resolved by February according to a now-modded GM quote.
Players with October billing dates of October 12 through October 31 will not have their points dates futzed with and will get their points on their billing dates this month and in theory every month. -
It's correct. The token is for every 1200 points purchased, including bonuses, and it is cumulative.
Spending $100 gets you 9600 points (8000 pack + 1600 bonus), so that grants 8 tokens.
If you buy points in an amount that is not divisible by 1200, then the leftover points will count toward your next purchase; i.e. the $15 pack gets you 1320pp...you'll get a token for the 1200 and the 120 extra will "bank" toward your next token.

I love this bug.
And despite Zwilly's awesome GM powers, and his tendency to spawn random crap if he's visiting servers:

I have found out SOMETHING at least.
If you remove a non-50 slot, it is locked out from placing until going into Dynamic Mode.
If you remove a level 50 slot, you can replace it immediately, while still in LevelUp Mode.
If you remove a non-50 slot and a level 50 slot, you can replace both of them (it will place the lower slot first then the 50).
It's somehow interacting incorrectly with the level at which a build is set, which is 50 when all the powers are picked and slots have been placed.
Hmmmmm....curious. Continuing to poke. -
Still cannot reproduce the lag on my two Windows systems (XP with subpar video and CPU, and 7 with [newer but still not current generation] video and CPU). Having absolutely no issues clicking through any of the sets. Tried all kinds of things, including opening tons of resource-intensive programs to try and steal away computing power from Mids but still have no issues. I have no idea what to suggest!
I am, however, reproducing the LevelUp mode slot issue with the build you posted. I'm still poking around with that one to see if I can figure something out. -
@Redlynne: Reported already on the Titan forums, thanks for your input.
@Caulderone: Confirmed. Fly is .46/s on the live servers, 1/s in Mids 1.952.
@Emberly: Destiny issue was reported already on the Titan forums, thanks for your input. Cannot reproduce your issues with enhancements. Further details? -
AFAICT (this is based off second-hand information so may not be correct; I don't have any vigs/rogues on my Preemie account), you get to keep playing them, but not as a gray alignment. Vigilantes are considered Heroes and Rogues are considered Villains.

No, it will attempt to fire every time you use it.
