Happy about this, a little less happy that it's shoving Parks & Rec out of its timeslot. They're both great shows and should remain on the lineup at once. If NBC has to cut any shows and if they knew what was good for them (SPOILER ALERT! they don't) they'd let The Office and 30 Rock go, both shows that are still decent but have definitely run their respective courses.

I have only been in this game since Christmas. They are new to me. I've searched the Paragon Wiki, this Forum and the Vidiotmaps site before making my post. None mention it in any way. I've taken the liberty of making a page for it on the Paragon Wiki, if there ever is another hapless soul like me who can't figure it out.
I actually did see the article on the wiki before making my post, but I assumed it was made by someone else who saw your post.
Come to think of it, I think they may not have always been called Board Transit. Back in the day, it used to be Board Train, or Board Ferry redside, but at some point (want to say after they merged the ferry/train lines) they changed it, hence the current confusion. -
By the way, Board Transit missions are not new to the Valentine's Day event, they've been in the game for ages (possibly since the beginning, not sure about that though). I would guess that the CTA doesn't count because I don't think there are any such missions in Praetoria.

Not only are the sound effects underwhelming, they're timed very poorly with the animations.

If I had to guess, I'd say it was updating automatically from a list of enemy groups currently existing in the game.

Ah, so you've confirmed that you are not actually reading my posts.
Yeah I'm done with you. -

I did read it, and I chose to ignore it because the odds of getting what you want from the packs are better than the odds trading in AE tickets and Brainstorms as far as I'm concerned.

Whose obfuscating things? The devs told us exactly how the packs would work long before they were added to the game, and the price for each pack is clearly posted.
The random draws in the packs are no different than spending AE tickets to get random draws, or the random draws we get when we convert Brainstorms.
Random rewards have been an established feature in this game for years. -
Quote:Yeah, and I'm not okay with "buying randomness". (In before "then don't buy them".) I have no intention of buying them, and if there were no exclusive items to the packs I'd be content to ignore them entirely, but it still bothers me that they're trying to draw people into buying them with this sort of thing. It's almost as if they know people wouldn't bother with them if there was nothing locked behind them.Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
Uhm each pack is 80 points. I know exactly what I am getting when I buy them...a chance to "play" the super packs and receive random rewards. Same as I know when I click on a random gold recipe using my AE tickets...I am getting a random gold recipe. So you see people KNOW what they are buying they just don't know what they will get when they open the packs...you are buying the possibility..the randomness..the surprise.

They're stored in Hammerspace.

What? Are you serious? The devs never advertised that the Super Packs contained 5 random draws from a pre-determined list of items? And the Super Packs have no price listed on the market, so people don't know how much they will cost before they buy them?
If that's true then that's totally messed up, but I'd swear I not only saw a dscription on how the packs worked somewhere but I also saw player compiled lists of what they got from the packs here on the open forums. I believe I also saw that the packs were being sold for 80 points each on my market interface, but maybe that's a bug.
A person who wants the Elemental Order costume set (and is not interested in any other items available in the packs, or at least not the consumables) needs to buy X Super Packs costing $Y each in order to obtain the full set, for an effective total of $Z. Each pack contains [A,B,C,D,E]. Y is known. X and Z are not. [A,B,C,D,E] have known ranges, but the combination present in a given pack is not known. That's too many unknowns for me.
Is that clearer for you, or should I break it down into monosyllabic grunts? -
Quote:The difference is that when you bought those you knew what you were getting and you knew how much it cost. Not the case anymore.Originally Posted by ThatGuyThere
The Magic, Science, Good Vs. Evil, and Mutant packs, plus the Pocket D VIP Pass, all disagree with you.
There's always been "pay to play" features.
You might mean powers. In which case, Ninja Run, Beast Run, Mystic Fortune, Secondary Mutation, steampunk jump-jet, and GvE Jetpack all disagree. -
Would need a fairly severe cooldown in order to keep it from being exploited like a [REDACTED], but actually kind of a neat idea. The Incarnate Trials actually already operate like this since you still get an extra Astral Merit by completing one of the challenge tasks, regardless of whether or not you already have the badge.
I can't understand what kind of jerk would refuse to do either of the DFB challenges for just one person on the team though, it's not like they take any meaningful effort. -

Anyone know if the XP booster is effected by this at all? Is it Nulled? Doubled? Or just stacks?

He will be removed from the game as a whole, starting in Issue 23. This is a furtherance of the game storyline, not just the "level progression timeline". All content related to Statesman being alive will get a rewrite.
The contest the devs said they'll be holding is interesting, but it makes me wonder what happens to the winning character. Certainly they can't allow the winner to keep playing that character. -
Two weeks after my weekend vacation, by which time my new work schedule will have me working half-days on Fridays.

Egads! I thought the remnants of the Third Reich escaped in captured UFO's to a secret base in Antarctica?
Oh wait, no.
Apparently not...
Those devious Soviet retreated to the Southern Pole of Inaccessibility in Antarctica!

That would require Rick Moranis to come out of acting retirement. He retired in 1997. Good luck.

I'm guessing the people who don't like these things also don't like, or never collected trading cards, because that's the closest, most obvious analog I can think of to these superpacks.
That said, I fully support this week's Paragon Market "offerings", since it's yet another thing I have no interest in using my stipend on (and I'm sure not gonna buy points for them).
Yes, all non-consumables (costume pieces, ATIOs too I believe?) are removed from your drop pool when you get them.Quote:Originally Posted by mousedroid
I assume there is a mechanism in place that prevents you from getting the same costume piece more than once? -
Quote:Man, DarkGob for the lose, that was pretty blatantly obvious.Originally Posted by Roderick
Those aren't overall percentages. Those are percentages within a bracket.
Each card is randomly selected to be Common/Uncommon/Rare/VR. Once its rarity is determined, it rolls on that rarity's table.
Very Rares just have higher numbers because there's fewer items on their list. -
Am I missing something or are rares the most common? (Minus the Black Wolf.)

Not only that, her plan to mellow Recluse out by bringing his love lost back from the dead turned out to be a complete failure when it turns out that her return only serves to ignite the frankly recently-dormant flame of his villainy.

Quote:Weren't they occasionally shown hovering in Classic Who?Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Cybermen never phased me, but then neither do the Borg. And the Daleks? Sorry can't help but laugh at any race of interstellar conquerors that are easily defeated by steps.
Yes I know in the new series they can fly.
The Borg assimilate technology as well as flesh, and they're perfectly capable of penetrating armor in order to do it. (Daleks might be another matter since they're heavily fortified with force shields as well as dalekanium armor. We will adapt.)Quote:Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Uhm. The borg assimilate people by injecting their flesh with nanobots. Cybermen don't have flesh. They are a head/brain encased in armor, the body is robotic. There isn't anyplace for the nanobots to be injected. Same reason the Daleks can't be assimilated. The Borg can't get thru the armored chassis without killing the organic control center.
