    Did you pay for the points you used to unlock the super tailor? Or did you get them, and hence the super tailor, for free?

    They didn't pay their subs and got bumped back to premium Dev, which is the equivilant of VIP.

    Also, short circuiting the entire question you cannot sell an enhancer once it has been boosted.

    So it looks like inf stored in market transactions for level 51+ IOs is safe from boosted IOs.
    So it works like our 50 +3 levels from Incarnate stuff? Also, I assume then it doesn't effect Exemplaring down? So a level 30+1 enh would still work at 25?

    Nope, but the incarnates is under Game Info.


    While I can see where you are coming from I don't entirely agree with the stance. As GR is a prerequisite you had to buy it to access Incarnate content. Regardless as to whether it was included or not.

    Unless there is another way to access incarnate content without buying GR Incarnate access was something you have to pay for. It came as part of the bundle.

    Ummm, whut? I'm saying that you have to have GR to access the incarnate system, therefore have paid for it. And therefor disputing the Dev's assertion that you don't lose access to anything you paid for.

    And to offset the comments about wanting everything for free, I have 2 accounts and will be keeping them VIP. I just think it's a bit rich. Best option to me would be allow access to the system, but charge for the individual power slots and or trials.

    Right. So, there goes any reasonable hope in hell I have of getting the three Celestial rewards before they 'rotate' out.

    While a far from ideal solution, and depends on how far off you are on tokens, but is paying for some extra points on the market an option?

    So what? I mean really? So what? Yes, if you didn't subscibe you didn't get anything... we all know this.

    However, if you paid your subscription but didn't buy GR you didn't get access to the incarnates. If you wanted to use the incarnate system you HAD to buy GR. Hence you PAID real money for the incarnate system. Saying otherwise is an outright lie. Whether it was released at the same time, as planned mind, or not you still HAD to pay for it extra to your sub.

    Edit: Also, for anyone saying the incarnates aren't part of GR, can you find me a link to official information on the incarnate system that ISN'T on the GR page? Because the only place I can find the incarnate info is there.

    Look, I'm not against Freedom, but they said users wouldn't lose access to anything they paid for. And, in buying Going Rogue, you paid for access to the Incarnate system. Can you honestly say that's not a little bit rich?

    How would you feel if you bought the cyborg pack, but if you dropped to premium you lost access to it?

    Probably the easiest place to start would be with a granite tanker, but you won't have any Psi protection from that.

    Except, without GR you can't access it.

    With Freedom, if you bought GR, and are going Premium you can't access it. Despite having bough GR for access to it.

    There really is a double standard there.

    And where is the false advertising here? They are making it clear what is and isn't available.

    I like your theory, although not sure I agree with your understanding as subtle. He said it, outright.

    Bit late on this Tony but I believe that the $2 is a monthly fee for IO's. And I think the Auction House is the same. You 'rent' the use really.

    Really? Because one power caused knock back and another makes it go further? Wow, you really dislike knockback.

    I found the KB in Power Thrust very useful at low levels as mitigation. A KB'd foe isn't causing damage, and as I'm ranged and they are currently targeted they aren't causing anyone any issues.

    Actually, it doesn't cost you anything if you don't buy any points over your 400 a month. It's actually free.

    The dot's represent load, not population. The dev's have said one person, doing the wrong thing in the wrong place, can significantly up the load on a server. They unfortunatly won't tell us what or where though.

    The rule of 5 applies to the value and type of the bonus, not to the sets. I don't think all the purple sets have the same bonuses so you are probably OK to slot as many as you want.
  24. If you set the bind to begin chat and put the petsay all into the chat window and hit 'enter' after your bind key it usually works.
