Paragon Studios has no control over the online store, guys. It's run by NCSoft.
Check the PlayNC and/or NCSoft websites for details or to contact their support, rather than getting ticked off at the game developers. -
Quote:Already discussed this on page one of the thread...Originally Posted by Davenport
I live in New Jersey and I had no problem purchasing the Martial Arts $10.00 booster last night, so I don't see why my region would be a problem, or why they can't accept my order "at this time?"
I would appreciate any help with this-- I'm super-excited to start feeding people lead sandwiches.
Wait until at least 24 hours have passed since you purchased the Martial Arts Booster, then try again. Or, like I said earlier, try using a different credit card.Quote:Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
One PlayNC store purchase per credit card per day. So you either need to give it a different credit card, or wait until tomorrow. -

I thought DS was going to be tested separately?
And also, I can't access the test server either. Says public access is restricted.

Can someone PLEASE tell me if the i17 beta forums are up or not? I thought I'd be in it because of Loyalty.
I'm not going to sweat it today, though. They got started a little late in the afternoon, so I'm guessing they're still getting set up behind the scenes, and I'll know more in the morning.

Quote:It won't. The pre-purchase only available through the NCSoft online store.Originally Posted by Living_Lightning
Got what I feel is an intelligent question; any idea when the Going Rogue pre-purchase is going to be available via Best Buy? I'm all manner of broke and all I have to work with until I can get a new job are two Gift Cards. D=
Now a preorder is a different thing. If they have one, it'll probably become available sometime around the release of Issue 17 (as my best guess). Preordering it won't give you a code for early use of Dual Pistols or Demon Summoning. -
Quote:No. The $40 version will not be available for pre-purchase.Originally Posted by CapnGeist
The prepurchase order is only 30 dollars. Wasn't there also to be a 40 dollar version with bonuses? Is there any way to get those bonuses AND the Dual Pistols/Demon Summoning early releases?
There will be an item pack added when Going Rogue releases to upgrade your account and add the extra costume pieces, emotes and inherent stealth power. Presumably it will cost $10, like the other microtransaction packs. -

But I gotta ask, is there some limit on how many purchases we can make? I bought it for my wife's account and now it says I can't get it for mine.

You could also try to use System Restore to go back to a previous point, such as the day before you attempted to install AVG.

Can you? Yes.
Should you, personally? No.
Dude, you've been playing this game for less than a month. You still need to focus on how the game works and experiment with things on your own rather than just rushing to 50. You're going to burn yourself out. You're still a novice at the game, so take the time to run through as many different missions and content as you can the first time through, then worry about powerlevelling subsequent characters once you understand the game better.
There's nothing special waiting for you at level 50. No raids, no epic max-level content. And if you're just super interested in making a Soldier of Arachnos AT character, they're going to be available at level 20 starting in April. -
Quote:They have not said anything yet other than the fact that all starting Praetorians must leave to become a Hero or Villain at level 20.Originally Posted by ObiWan
OK, don't know if it's been gone over in the multi paged Going Rogue threads but have the devs stated whether Praetoria will eventually have the abilty to stay in it for all 50 levels? It sounds like the struggle going on there makes some really intresting stories.
It's generally assumed that there will be some 40 or 45-50 content in Praetoria as well for the new end-game content and system, but that's still just speculation right now. -
Quote:Going Rogue is also set at a price point that's $20 less than the equivalent versions of City of Villains ($50 regular version or $60 collector's edition at the time of release). Anybody who doesn't understand the lack of new ATs for the Going Rogue expansion either forgot the cost of CoV or joined the game so late that they never had to pay for it individually.Originally Posted by Talionis
If you compare what it sounds like we are getting in Going Rogue to what we got in City of Villains it seems vastly less. In CoV we got five or six new archetypes. Masterminds being completely original. We got all of the Rogue Isles for more content. I also think we got bases.
Also, you're crazy... who would want a Melee/Buff-Debuff character when you could play an Assault/Defense character!?!
(That's MY wish right there... )

The AE doesn't give double XP (nor does it allow you to use Patrol XP except to pay off debt). That's working as intended.

Quote:Day Jobs murdered my father and molested my dog.Originally Posted by Teeth
Is this serious, or sarcastic? I guess some day job accolades are useful, but I never see them breaking the game. Is your post intended to emphasize the current quality of the game by identifying something completely trivial as the most important problem in the game, or do you actually have something against Day Jobs?
No, really I just think they're a bad idea. I never liked the idea of rewarding people for not playing a game. Couple that with the idea that you have to log out in a certain place, for a total of 21 days to earn each badge, and you've got some players (like me) who feel that playing their badge character at all is counter-productive to the badging process. If there was one thing I could take out of the game, Day Jobs would be it.
I never said they were game breaking, but that's not what the OP asked. I just think they're mostly pointless and a waste of time. And anyway, given that they're so trivial (as you yourself mentioned), that should imply that other than this very small portion, I'm totally thrilled with the game--which I am.
(But I also understand that this is only my opinion, and other people feel differently. So I'll stop talking about Day Jobs. For now. >_>) -
Don't forget to push your Grav/Kin Controller up to 39, so you can take Fulcrum Shift and add three slots to it for 1 Accuracy and 3 Recharge enhancements. It's a whole new ballgame when you add Fulcrum Shift to a team...
Quote:You're going to be very hard-pressed for a build that can solo +4 enemies in the 20s and 30s. +1 is very doable once you can access SOs, and +2 is good for a challenge, but you'll pretty much need some IO sets to do +4s... and while there are plenty of good sets available at level 30, you're going to need the kind of cash that you can only earn on a level 50 character* and the drops they receive.Originally Posted by Blue_Fenix
Finally, I've been thinking about whether there's any solo-friendly builds that are truly Single-Target, that is to say, you'd rather run them on +4/X1 or X2, rather than the -1/X4 or +0/X3 or whatever I see myself doing in the mid levels most of the time with my aoe-centric characters. Is aoe just that much better to build for or what?
*unless you're crazy good at marketeering
I find that Stalkers are exceptional at soloing, though. You might want to try Energy Melee or Broadsword as the primary and Ninjutsu or Willpower as the secondary. Broadsword does good damage and has a couple small-arc AOE attacks, and Energy Melee offers pretty decent chances to stun enemies for mitigation. Willpower will have the best survivability if you just want to smash faces, while Ninjutsu has a few tricks (and a self heal) that can help you to keep large crowds at arm's length.
(I soloed most of the way to 50 on my Katana/SR Stalker on what was effectively +1/x2 using the old difficulty settings.)
Also, don't forget that the preorder for Going Rogue starts this week. If you preorder through the PlayNC website, then you'll get the new Dual Pistols powerset on the live servers to use by Double XP Weekend.

one more for now... Toxication, a Rad/DP Defender.
I dunno why, but I just can't think of any other powerset to pair with DP than Rad...

Awesome, glad to hear you're back up and running!

Well, you have to start your career in Pretoria, there are plenty of ways you could do the background to have a Primal Earth character start their career in Pretoria.

Just don't ignore it for too long, and shut down your PC when you go to bed.
Last summer, CoH started acting a little funny for me but I didn't really pay it any mind... Turned out that a stray tuft of dog fur got caught in the cooling fan on my video card, stopped the fan and caused the motor to burn out. By the time I realized what was happening, one of the capacitors on the video card had actually popped.
The stuff in your rig is more expensive than the video card I lost, and I'd hate to see you have to replace anything the way I did.

The first and most obvious step would be to take your side panel off and examine the heatsink and fan over your processor.
1) Is the fan spinning? If not, and it hasn't come unplugged, you need to buy a new one ASAP.
**Turn the PC off before going any further**
2) Is anything slowing the fan down, like a build up of dust or hair wrapped in the blades or anything? Clean all the dust off your components as best you can, as by spraying it with compressed air. Do this outside, unless you've got a vaccuum cleaner to catch the loosened debris.
3) Can you wiggle the brackets that hold the CPU fan down against the processor? If so, you may need to reseat the heatsink, which will probably require that you clean and reapply the thermal paste.
4) Check the fans on the graphics cards, and make sure they have adequate space in between them to allow for heat dissipation. They might be running hot too, but have a higher temperature tolerance than your CPU.
5) How large is your case versus how much stuff do you have crammed in there? If you're using a fairly small case, heat will build up fast... especially with two SLI video cards, a quad core processor and a few hard drives.
Other factors may come into play as well, such as: how much ventilation you have in your case (number of case fans), the location of and free space around your tower (should have a few inches between the case and the wall behind, on the left and in front for proper ventilation).
The number of programs you run at one time could have an effect, and you should check your motherboard documentation or the manufacturer's website to see if there is a fan control application that will let you increase the speed of the fans.
Keep the area around your PC clean (and raised off of a carpeted floor if possible), and dust and vaccuum around it often. -
Quote:If they were just now considering putting weapons in the game, I'd say yes, totally. But there's no reason to re-invent the wheel just because you're thinking of making a new car--there's no reason to invalidate the existing powersets because of an opportunity to do things better on a new one. It would lead to a lot of unnecessary work. Not that I'd complain if they went that route; Katana users have pretty limited options for new weapons, and I'd be thrilled to grab some of the Broadsword models and use that set's animations instead.Originally Posted by Leo_G
TLDR; version: If they're going to generalize pole weapons like that, might as well go the whole 9 yards and generalize all weapons. It's the same conceptual result, IMO.
Speaking of which, I posted this today in another thread: they should totally open all the Broadsword weapon models for the Battle Axe powerset and vice versa. It would save them effort on proliferating those sets, and give players the look they want. (Plus they already use the same animations...) -
Short but pointless reply to let people know that the poster is still reading this thread. Makes a comment arguing a point that was conceded four pages back, proving that the poster has not, in fact, been reading the thread.

The bottom left pic of Spell Slinger is my favorite, though. It looks like he's shooting the throwing knife out of the air.
