  1. Depends on what you claimed.

    The Unslotters, you drag a slotted enhancement down to your tray in the Manage screen.

    The Boosters, you click a power in your Manage screen, pull an enhancement down into the combine circle, and the booster automatically goes into the second circle.

    The other bits and bobs are all temporary powers, and can be found in temporary powers.

    If you do not have access to the Inventions system (via license or rewards unlock), nothing in the invention system works. No enhancement value, no set bonuses, no salvage/recipe drops, no crafting, no slotting.

    It sounds like you're actually trying to RUN the file from the site (which has write issues, since your temporary file store doesn't typically have access to outside of it), instead of downloading the file to disk and then running the downloaded item.
  4. For completeness sake:

    The first two powers in all power pools open up at 4 now (previously 6).

    The third power in travel power pools also open up at 4 (previously 14), and have no prerequirement. The third power in all other power pools open up at 14 (same as previously) and require one previous power.

    The fourth power in all power pools opens up at 14 now (previously 20). The fourth power requires two previous powers.

    The fifth power in travel power pools is new, and opens up at 14. The other power pools did not get a fifth power (yet?). The fifth power requires two previous powers.
  5. Do you have the badge, Member of Vanguard? If so, you just have terrible luck or are bugged. If not, you need to do the "Join the Vanguard" arc from Levantera.

    Actually, it went more like this:

    Seller: I have something that may change before release!
    Buyer: I'll buy it anyway!
    Seller: Well, things changed before release.

    By the way, there were plenty of people that got their pre-purchase money back when the Alpha peek was removed from GR. It was all over the forums. If you (general you, not CactusBrawler specifically) didn't get your money back, then you accepted what you purchased changed before release.

  8. They aren't going to remove it. Vanden is an idjit and showing you just how easy it is to troll the forums.
  9. Without knowing her status Pre-I21, we cannot say for certain what she should have currently. She should have 2 (all F2P get them) + 2 (GR) for certain, then a variable number after that depending on previous subscription time and previously purchased slots.

    No, you are not correct about Inventions. You can access and play characters who have IOs slotted, even if you don't have access to the Invention System (via 30-day license or permanent unlock). Your IOs simply don't work; you don't get any enhancement value from them, procs/globals don't work, and set bonuses don't work.

    GR has dropped to $15 which is the pricing of the alignment switch alone. Needed for those brutes with low END that need access to the Energy Mastery set.
    Brutes get access to Energy Mastery even if they are villains who have never switched...

    http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Auction_House#Inactivity
    If you read the page, it says "The definition of "inactive" now refers to an account whose subscription is no longer paid for. Yet there is still some question as to whether the consignment item deletion for inactive accounts also has the 60 day grace period."

    This means no one confirmed whether or not that's the case, so you can't use the wiki as your source material. (The wiki isn't always right, sad to say.)

    Then it got confusing, something from the devs that they were misinformed about how the rewards worked. I never figured out how it's supposed to work now.
    We were supposed to get all reward tokens up front, but the devs couldn't get it to function (not that they were misinformed), so reward tokens should now award alongside your pp monthly on your billing date.

    If you trigger MARTy, your rewards will be throttled for a certain amount of time, and after the throttle is finished your rewards are as normal. Yes, it is likely recording a log of it's activities for the Developers to look over, but you aren't on "a list".

    MARTy doesn't keep affecting you after the throttling is ended unless you trigger it again and a new throttle is applied.

    You really should look into how something works before you start trying to blame it for things it doesn't do.
    And for further data points, the longest I've heard MARTy throttling is 10 minutes. There was a bug for a couple hours where people would get throttled as soon as they logged on (triggered by the XP bar filling up, LOL!) and the longest reported time was 10 minutes. During throttling, you get nothing - no inspirations, no influence, no XP, no recipes, no salvage, NADA. So if you're getting anything at all, you're not being throttled.

    (Keep in mind that MA maps have a variable ticket cap, but there is a system message when you're at the cap and you should have gotten tickets. That is separate from MARTy and has been around a long time.)
  14. I haven't seen any difference.

    Remember, like Kitsune says, perception bias remembers bad streaks more clearly than good streaks.
  15. Not rare at all. If you haven't done 5 tips, you will continue to get tip drops until completing your 5th tip. So you can have your 5th tip and 2 more tips. Then you can get 2 morality tips.

    Then you can get the Halloween tip, and if you're a villain, you can get the Mortimer Kal tip.

    Lots of tips! lol

    Man, I'd stand in it all day long if it handed out tokens. Free stuff! What do the tokens do? Nothing. But hey! Free stuff!

    It's more than you get with most mtx zones. Most games don't even let you into the zone to poke around.

If this is true, then a Premium character would still have access to First Ward itself, but would be unable to access any of the contacts/arcs there. Has anyone tested to see if this is the case?
    Yes, sorry, I meant First Ward content. You can wander around the zone and kill dudes on the street and kill the Seed of Hamidon, but you can't actually do any interesting story-stuff in there.

    The repeatable contacts are nothing fancy. They're just radio missions for First Ward, pretty much. The actual story of First Ward is in the story arcs.

    edit. and VIP person who drops to premium and boughed GR vs getting GR with new system?
    Player A bought GR and goes premium: they have access to everything in GR (sans Incarnates), though some bits require separate unlocks (e.g. MM/Troller).

    Player B has never bought GR and goes premium: they lose access to everything in GR, including characters made with GR powersets, Alignment, Praetoria, etc.
  21. So instead of subscribing for two months, buy 2400 PP and unlock them. They're now unlocked forever, and you never have to pay another penny to play them (including subscribing). To go along with those PP you just bought, you get two Reward Tokens to bump you further up the tiers.
  22. AFAICT, there is no way to create a new account yet. The "Creat New Account" button on the login screen says "COMING SOON".

    An account with no games in it means you don't have access to any games.
  23. 1a. It's only a 2% (3% with Delayed) chance to be held, so it's not unlikely for a dude to run around in DF until he's dead and never get held.
    1b. Enemies continue moving at their normal speed until the server sends an update on where they should be moving. The easiest way to see this is to stun a runner - they'll continue running at normal speed while under the stun animation until the server updates where they should be moving to next.
    2. There are plenty of enemies in the game that have slow resistance. Likewise, all patches that don't have some sort of above-ground effect (e.g. rains) are ignored by flyers (including flying players).
