That's pretty harsh. The guy's just giving us a teaser. I got it immediately as did quite a few other people. And if you didn't get it right away, well, that's kind of the point of a teaser.

No need to criticize because you don't share his sense of humor. I'm glad that we have a community person who has a personality and has fun on the forums. <shrug>

Interesting. I didn't know that. What happens when you fill the tip mission bar and cannot do the alignment mission? No more tips drop?

I would expect that a character's alignment would be locked and they would no longer be able to get tip missions or use hero/villain merits.

With the exception of "as-is" items purchased on sale, I've found that I can return most anything if I do it soon after the purchase, even with reasons of "I don't like it' or "it's not what I wanted/expected".

I don't see a problem with getting points refunded for in-game purchases, within a reasonable time frame. Three days seems fair to me. Keep in mind, this is a points refund, not a cash refund. NCSoft will still have the buyer's money.

Fixed.

Just tested this and it's working. Thanks for fixing.

I've always viewed it as an excuse not to enforce the rules. Why not make forums for other catagories that are against the forum rules; Other Video Game Discussion Forum, Trolling Forum, /jranger Forum, etc?

I don't view Forum Games, but if I were trying to consolidate the boards, that would be one of the first things I'd get rid of.

Heya Curveball.

I don't think you were confused, sometime before launch us beta folks were advised to make new accounts for a reason that I don't recall. I did it too, leaving my old beta account inactive but under the same master account. Eventually, I activated it for a couple of years. Friday, it became a premium account and it works just fine.

Same here. I unslotted my working knockback protection enhancement a couple of times to see if that was causing the problem. It doesn't appear to be.

With only the karma enhancement purchased from the Paragon Market:

• Knockback Protection 0

With the IO recipe drop that I crafted:

• Knockback Protection 4

I removed the crafted IO again Wednesday and checked combat attributes. Still zero points of knockback protection from the Paragon Market enhancement.

Same here. I just tried my original CoH account from beta. It was active for about two years after launch. Account page says "free" and "playable" as well, but cannot log in. It's nice to see I'm not the only one.

Once that account becomes Premium, it will be my wife's account. Maybe this time she'll play for more than a week.

I guess you could say that, just like feminine intuition is an irrational female superstition thing.

It's about doing what's right even if it's difficult or painful.

Here's how I see it...

Keep characters that were mostly identified as "yours"; your concepts, primarily played by you, people assumed you were at the controls when they saw that character in the game, etc.

Delete characters that don't fit into that category.

I think it should be considered fair to remove any valuable enhancements from those characters before deleting them.

For a very long time CoH's endgame was to create a new character. Basically, there was no endgame content. Over the past few years, crafting and the incarnate trials were added.

Crafting is not as extensive as what you'll find in other games, but there are some crafting rewards that take a bit of effort to achieve. Playing the market and even creating enhancements for your other characters can be entertaining, if you like that kind of thing.

Incarnate trials were added within the past year and are similar to raids that other games have. They offer a form of alternate advancement. Your character can get new powers and become much more powerful by gathering items that only drop during these trials.

PvP is not very popular at this time. It used to have a very vocal group of players, but PvP nerfs a few years ago caused enthusiasm to wane.

Personally, I do crafting, incarnate trials, collect badges and take part in supergroup events. The sg I belong to holds a lot of costume contests. I also occasionally crank up mission difficulty and "farm" for rare recipe drops. I can turn these recipes into enhancements, give them away or sell them for hundreds of millions of influence. I also usually have one or two project alts that I'm working on. These tend to be power sets or ATs that I have not played much in the past.

I've been playing this game since the start of beta testing back in 2003 and find that there's plenty to do. I hope you find enough to keep your interest!
