Well, not to sound rude in my reply, but I'm correct in my post. Rank means nothing. You can test this yourself if you'd like.

Grab any map you wish, change difficulty so that you are fighting bosses then proceed to grab agro on 1 or 2 groups depending on your team size. Then once you have agro cap, go to another group, then stand there and wait for the previous 17 to come to you. Punch one of the Minions, or LT thats are just standing there doing nothing. You will see that you will gain their agro and one of the previous you had agroed will walk away from you. Then punch another standing there and watch it repeat itself.

What most people may be seeing including yourself is a damage aura actually hitting one of the bosses thus making you think that the Boss take priority over the lower ranked enemies in that group.

It's no different then someone power leveling a character. Someone such as myself who power levels my next alt, doesn't play the low weaker levels anyway. Honestly, I could care less if this feature was added, no matter how I look at things, I will just power level my specific AT and powersets I want, no need for paying to do a power respec for "me"

So what's the difference if I play a weaker set up to 50 and then do the power respec? I've still played it up. And like I said previously, only allow the power respec at level 50 and to VIPs only.

I've never seen that happen either and I do a lot of farming.

Well keeping my fingers crossed in hopes they do

You and I both. Then again, it may not be as bad once all the trials are out. And hopefully with the new upcoming Incrnate missions tht were mentioned will reward us in some way.

Don't be upset, not everyone can play the game as much as some. But I feel your pain, a friend of mine can't afford to play as much either and he barely has enough to get maybe 1-2 pieces when it goes live.

It would be nice if they made just the iTrials cross server, but I know that's not on the horizon anytime soon. But something we may see eventually.

With the new Paragon Reward system coming with i21, you can get the reveal power which will solve your issue

I have enough on my main to get all of it and with plenty astrals and e merits to spare

So by purchasing a subscription it seems you get Reward Tokens which can be used in the new reward system. And by purchasing Paragon Points you earn Reward Tokens. So putting the subscription aside, just by purchasing Paragon Points earning the bonus Reward Tokens allows you to unlock the rewards thus giving you the badges,

So yes, you can indirectly purchase the Veteran Badges, but you can't just buy them from the Paragon Market. And I'm totally fine with this. I'm not upset nor depressed about it. I actually like the idea that you can do this, now people can get caught up if they so chose and can get what perks they want by unlocking the badge. Now unless you can get the perk without unlocking the badge then that's even better

Well, I guess that answers our question.

Thanks for the quote linking to that information Dr_Darkspeed.

You know, we've heard this story many times before and we managed to all get along and do our thing. They moaned about this about people asking for Power leveling teams in PI, we got along, then many missions that were bugged giving large amounts of XP, people were forming Power Leveling teams, and yet we managed to get along. Then came the AE and we've been Power leveling since day 1 and yet we all still managed to get along and play the game.

This is called a Super Group, they've been here for many years. We still have them to this day and they do exactly what you mentioned, yet not all SGs are considered elitism. Even small niches of people play together on a daily basis everyday and they aren't in the same SG, but yet they do exactly what you mention, but people still get along.

If not for some of these so called Elitism Groups a lot of the end game would be stagnant. I hate to pat my group on the back, but if not for y group Pinnacle wouldn't be doing Hami Raids every 2 weeks. We set the pace for how the Lambda and BAF trials our run on our server. So in a sense group such as mine are very liked and welcomed to many servers, and other people appreciate tight close groups like ours.

The point is I see power leveling on a daily basis and yet none of this comes to mind at all. It may be true to an extent, but it's not the main reason why this wouldn't happen, far from it to be honest. And besides, if this feature was only available to subbed players on characters that are only level 50 is would solve the little problem you mentioned.

Yeah, since they are building a new Paragon market, it would be nice if they add a shopping cart to the system. It be nice to purchase more than 1 thing per day.

Wow you beat me to it.

But I will agree with that statement. As you see my statement above was pretty much what you think

I wasn't being a jerk, but I could see how that could come across as being snippy. It wasn't intended that way at all. But thanks for the vote of confidence.


The reason I said what I said was because, there are many opinions out there and no one can provide a link with definitive information. A simple yes or no statement would suffice. But no one has shown a redname say that the vet badges can or can not be purchased. We have people mentioning they "think" they heard something on uStream, but I've watched every uStream cast, and I've yet to hear this mentioned like others claim they have.

I've yet to see a redname say yes, you can or no you can't. It's all speculation, just like I speculate that you will be able to buy them either directly or indirectly with the Paragon Points and or the Reward Tokens. But from what I've gathered is, no one has the answer to this as of yet. So I will sit here and wait for that answer from a redname.

But please, if you can provide a direct link to a redname stating you can not directly or indirectly purchase these badges, please provide me and everyone else the link. I think many of us would like to know.

Is this your opinion or fact? I would prefer facts at this point. Speculation means jack squat.

Seconded!

Thanks to the both of you, that's what I wanted to know

I've logged on test and bought a few things and yes, they did get removed from the list. Which is great. As I planned on using multiple characters to buy what was available and i was not wanting to buy things twice, so that works out.

So is it safe to say all costume pieces are global and will be removed once I purchase one of the pieces. So we know what is global and what isn't?

This and the ability to buy the Passport badge. Or finally tie the badge to a server transfer purchase w/ Passport badge and sell it a bit more than a standard server transfer.

Example:

Server Transfer - 100 Paragon Points
Server Transfer w/ Passport badge - 250 Paragon Points

Something like that, of course with different values to the devs liking.
