Unless there was a bug in the Comic Con build (which is entirely feasible--they may have broken something trying to show off level 4 travel power access), Tough was definitely available at level 4 with no prerequisites. Weave still required 2 prereqs.

I THINK it's for everything. It may have been a bug--like they were trying to show off travel powers at 4 and broke the other pools as well--or it may have been intended, but the other pools I was looking at said that the T3 was available at level 4 with no prerequisite. I specifically asked a guy who was playing on a dev-created character and respeccing him to try out the new travel powers to check the Fighting pool, and Tough was available at 4.

I also know that the T4 & T5 in the Flight pool unlocked at 14 instead of 20, but required 2 prerequisites. Can't remember for the non-travel pools if they unlocked at 14 as well, but I know that Weave still required 2 prereqs.

EDIT: Just found out last night, the other pools being available at level 4 was unintended. Oh well...

Is there a reason people can't make a Facebook profile to get one?

I don't particularly like social networking, either, but if you want something and the only way to get it is to sign up for such a site (for free, mind you), then you either do it and get the prize or don't and have no leg to stand on in the argument. If you're not trying simply because you don't want to be on Facebook, then the only one you can blame is yourself.

Now, for the people who can't get the code to load (gave me some trouble on my girlfriend's account), you truly have my sympathies--it's a pain in the butt when it just doesn't work out of the box. In the end, I had to go to her Facebook settings, disable secure browsing and restart the browser to view the code.

(Once I got it for her, I went back and turned the secure browsing setting back on.)

Yes. Or at least, supposedly. They've said anything that isn't a consumeable item should be global to all characters on your account.

I didn't specifically test this out... I was a little busy playing with Afterburner (WHOOOOOSH!), but I do know that it will allow you to teleport to any main city zone. I don't know if that includes places like Boomtown, Crey's Folly, Dark Astoria, Eden and the like, but definitely all the major zones.

I'm also not sure where in the zones it TPs you to, sorry.

According to the September issue of PC Gamer, we're getting them in the Paragon Market eventually... or at least, something very very similar.

I think the costumes can still work from the waist up if they make the hoods cover the faces a little more, for that whole mysterious, anonymous cult member look (remember, in the early game, you don't know the whole deal about the CoT being body-snatching spectres) and darken up the color schemes more so they're less garrish, especially in the early levels.

They need to do something a little more drastic with the lower body, because the tights do look a little silly on the generic low-level enemies. Perhaps baggy pants or a loincloth of some sort, as suggested in the other thread, would distract from the tights sufficiently. They actually do work pretty well for the mages later in the game, though--I saw an Ice Thorn Caster in Portal Court (while playing with Afterburner at Comic Con) and thought he looked pretty awesome.

I was told just after the panel at Comic Con (a friend of mine texted me about it while I was there, so I asked Black Pebble) that this is just the first round of facepalm codes. They will do the promotion again at a later time, to the point that anybody who wants one has a reasonable shot at getting one.

There are no plans to add it to the store at this time.

Oh hardy harr.

You're still unlocking your potential through technology and/or gadgets than through training, mutation, enhanced magicks or chemicals, or however you choose to roleplay (or not roleplay) your abilities. My point was basically that the game is supposed to be YOUR story, not Voltron's.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

They did do some minor zone revamps for Mercy, but the zone's only been there for about 5 years whereas Atlas Park is close to 9 years old (one of the first zones developed for the game) at this point. They've said they're going to go back and rework a lot of zones, but they're doing the oldest zones first, so the Rogue Isles have a bit of a wait.

Voodoo already pointed out that your assumptions about the sewer trial were incorrect.

And as for "bittwiddling a few missions," they've completely revamped the 1-20 content on both sides, so why don't you actually see what they've changed before passing judgment on it?

I'm not. Sounds like a lot of clutter to me.

I think you should be able to tell at a glance or, preferably, a click whether someone is subscribed or not. That's it.

As far as your complaints about people not having Alpha for Apex/Tin Mage, you can bring up the team window and see their buffs before you start. Alpha will show up there if they've got it.

Count me in on liking the gloves. I like the whole darn thing.
