    Already!? Sweet!
  2. I'd be happy to send some referrals out as well, but I think that goes without saying for most of the community.

    Just send us a PM!

    The rifle will be under weapons if the toon has the beam rifle powerset.
    The back piece is under back details.
    This isn't true at all. As Bosstone said, the game actually has an in-game checklist that automatically fills itself out for you. I had mine open when I opened my packs.

    That's not what is happening here. F2P players are just restricted as to what they can spend their merit currencies on.

    This is the pack I picked up, with my free stipend points. By the eleventh pack, I had every costume piece, nearly 700 merits, and a bunch of perk swag. I'm happy. Like Fabulous said:

    I bought 24 of these, and in there I got.

    1 full costume set by my 7th, which is cheaper than the normal bundles.

    675 merits

    11 ATOs

    68 enhancement boosters

    countless dual inspirations, prestige/ inf / xp boosters

    Honestly, I think I got a damn good deal.
    I'm very happy with my purchase.

    By all means, let's get some wildly useless analogies in here to keep things sane.

    1 Black Wolf O_O
    2 or 3 assorted consumeables I'll never use
    ... and a pretty nice little pile of Merits.

    Merits made up the bulk of the "not very interesting" cards I received.
    Another first-run Black Wolf. Nice.

    Just opened all 24 packs and I got the entire Elemental Order costume set, the Black Wolf pet and 2 sets of ATO's that I can use without converting them.

    Kudos Devs and Marketing! Good job! I R Happeee!!!
    This is what I want to see when I get home.

    That's not what I was responding to, and I rather thought I was perfectly clear about it.

    If you would like me to address your post, however, I can do that. It won't be hard, self-control is very easy.

    ZWILLINGER IS HERE RIGHT NOW, HE HAS A GUN, HE SAYS I HAVE TO BUY ONE BILLION COSTUME PACKS. PLEASE HELP!



    Wow, man, just...wow.
  13. So what's the better market, ATIO sales, or Converter speculation?

    Absolute Amazement and Coercive Persuasions have gone up in price by more than 300%.

    I can't disagree with that. But you can probably see how it is a deliberate pack incentive for income.

    Ooh, I could see that. Like a hybridization of the costume pieces, just uniquely weighted. Hrm.

    This^^^^^^^^^^^.

    ANYWAYS. You get us some male carnival masks for the Carnie pack, and skirts, hats, and belts for the CoT pack, and you'll sell two more.

    If the Paragon Studio slave drivers let you.

    Botched ritual?

    And that's why they call it, "Throwing the idiot ball."
  17. My joke was dualed to death. >_>
  18. Keep the Arbiter's uniform, and use the new head. Recycling a unique and obvious signature character is just embarrassing.

    Costume packs are ten bucks. They always were. If you buy the super packs in bulk, they're .75 apiece. Which means, if you get all your costume pieces in under thirteen packs, you pay less for this costume set than ANY OTHER, and get free extra crap to boot. YMMV on the value of the free extra crap, but I'm sure there are plenty of people saying, "Crap, more stupid costume pieces? I wanted more merits!"

    Not that I am aware of. Catalysts and converters, yes--but not Super Packs.

    Congrats TA! I can't think of a more worthy guy to be able to say, "FIRST!" Maybe I can join you later today.
  20. This thread is wonderful.
