^ Forgive my stupidity, but why not?
Generally something has to be on beta for at least 6 weeks before release. Water Blast has been there for about 4.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the set, just that it's highly unlikely to release prior to the producers' schedule. -

Quote:You assume they'll EVER give away something equivalent to 800 Paragon Points. If they did decide to offer a random choice of, say, 10 possible items, they'd probably make all of them of equal monetary value (like 40PP). Then nobody's getting anything of higher value than anyone else.Originally Posted by Dark One
Just because there is no purchase doesn't mean it isn't a lottery. If they're giving away randomized things of 'value', then some people would most likely get nothing, while some get things like a powerset. It could very well be deemed a lottery of sorts (especially if someone keeps getting nothing of worth).
But this is a moot point unless they actually start randomizing the Freebie Friday offers, and is even MORE moot since we don't know for sure that Freebie Fridays will be coming back. -
Quote:It's not random at all. The producers and/or marketing guys choose one item and everyone gets the same thing. (Or they did back during the trial... Freebie Fridays is offline until further notice.)Originally Posted by Beggly
I'm just wondering if it is truly random or if it's a fudged random?
It's whatever the people in charge decide on. The most expensive thing that was put up for free was worth 100 points.Quote:Is it possible to get really expensive stuff, or is it all cheap stuff?
It was choking the servers. Pets are very resource-intensive for servers to process (which is why Masterminds were chosen to be a premium AT). Players with a ton of pets could intentionally slow down or crash players with poor connections, or could feasibly group together and crash an entire map.Quote:Another question I had that is totally off topic here. Why did the devs make the vanity pets all the same slot summoning wise? Why not allow more than one? I had fun running around with three vanity pets at a time. I miss being able to do that. -
Didn't make the cut in the first contest and had to work during the second. That Friggin Hipster would be sad, but emotions are too mainstream.

Welp, they walked right me, saying "Oh, he's AFK", as I typed frantically and all of my text showed up on my screen but none of it showed up in the video on Twitch TV until Zwill was long past me.

Quote:... I listen to that and hear "YES, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE SUPER PACK #2 WITH REWARD TOKENS, JUST NOT UNTIL THE NEXT PUBLISH FOLLOWING THEIR RELEASE." Because that's pretty much what they say.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Given that it was Zwilligner that said that, I'm taking it as true.

I don't get how someone thinks they're saying that they're discontinuing purchase via Reward Tokens.

Quote:Technically they are... those events are specifically tied to turning in Halloween costume salvage for the bonus costume slot. So anybody who's been hanging on to extra and turns it in has a chance of starting one of the associated zone events.Originally Posted by Xzero45
Somewhat unrelated, but since this new event, along with the Spring Fling and Holidays, are gated behind a specific season, any chance of doing the same for the Zombie and Banner events from Halloween?

It's Tuesday again, which of course means NEW STUFFS DAY!
Today on the Paragon Market (or "Parket," if you prefer) we see the release of Performance Amplifiers.

Quote:Reinstalling the game isn't going to fix anything that just verifying the files won't do.Originally Posted by Imapiccolo
Can't I just re downloade the game
Your problem is either a bad internet connection (which is true lag, and there's less you can do about that), OR you have your video settings set higher than your hardware allows (which means you're getting low FPS--frames per second--that make the game seem choppy, NOT lag). And even with good hardware, a bad or old video driver package could cause graphics slowdown.
Reading your other posts (such as the one where you talk about "having that software that makes your computer 50% faster"), I'm guessing you have a ton of useless crap and spyware on your machine that's slowing it down. I'd like to recommend you clean off your system legitimately, but it seems pretty apparent that you have no idea what you're doing, so you should probably pay a professional to do it for you. -

Neither Paragon nor NCsoft will be at SDCC this year. This also means that there won't be a meet and greet.
(Second was a tie between meeting (and getting hugged by) both Maurice LaMarche and Chris Sanders, on separate occassions.)

I am curious; is there any particular reason that the individual Apocalypse and Ragnarok enhancements aren't 50% off like the other purples were when they were added to the store?
-
It's Tuesday again... that means NEW STUFFS DAY!
Today's offerings in the Paragon Market are the Apocalypse (Ranged Damage) and Ragnarok (Targeted AoE) Very Rare Store Bought Enhancement sets. Their standard prices are 2000 per set (or 400 per individual enhancement), but are on sale for 50% off during their release week.
Other items returning to the store are the Unbreakable Constraint (Hold) and the Soulbound Allegiance (Pet Damage) Very Rare Enhancement Sets, as well as Who Will Die?: Complete Collection Ep. 1-7, all at standard prices.
For sales this week, we've got the following:- Enhancement Unslotters for 25% off
- Unslotter x1 -- 90PP
- Unslotter x3 -- 225PP
- Unslotter x5 -- 338PP

Will update spreadsheet and OP shortly. - Enhancement Unslotters for 25% off

Just remember to subtract 1 from the number you think your costume slot is--they use programming numerology, so they count from 0 to 9 (instead of 1 to 10).
But yeah, you want to do a simple costume change?
/bind [key] "cc #"
EXAMPLE: /bind numpad1 "cc 0"
To put a costume change emote in there, do this:
/bind [key] "cce # [cc_emote_name]"
EXAMPLE: /bind numpad1 "cce 0 ccbackflip" -

Quote:First guess is that those newer games are probably DirectX based, while CoH is OpenGL based... making it an issue with not your hardware, but the specific drivers your video card is using.Originally Posted by New Dawn
Thats the thing, if it is with me and my network then why dont I crash on my other games?
They are newer games, potentially more demanding I would of thought.
That said, everyone else has been right... CoH is by no means optimized the way an OpenGL game from a larger studio (like Diablo III) would be. A lot of the groundwork for the game was hacked together by people who had little idea what they were doing and no care whatsoever for the programmers who would follow behind them. (Supergroup Bases, for example, are a mess of spaghetti code that was not commented... that's a big reason that bases haven't gotten much added in the way of functionality over the last 6 years.) -

Went to go make "Why Not Zoidberg?" and it was taken. So was "Condescending Wonka."

You may want to retract that bit about selling in-game items for real money from the OP, since that's a serious infraction of the forum rules and all...
