  1. My last place of employment holds sales contests from time to time, with some rather large prizes. Things like paying your mortgage for a year, free big screen TVs and such, and a few times they gave away cars. To qualify, you just had to meet a sales quota. A friend of mine won the car. He was a horrible salesman. In fact, he just managed to get a single entry into the months long contest.

    I bet the company owes everyone who got dozens and hundreds of entries in that contest a car too.

    Hehe. Analogies are fun! Let's do another!

    Nope, read that. Just though it was a little vague so I asked if anyone knew a more specific time. But um... thanks. You've been helpful.

    Ah, I was hoping it was something more distinctive. We seem to have a lot of star emblems and one of them already kind of looks like Statesman's star. Oh well. It's not like I use the 7th anniversary star much either.
  4. But for those who are getting them... when is delivery?

    Also, anyone know what the non-combat pet or chest emblem are gonna look like? I'm assuming the pet's gonna look like the guy in the middle of the promo pic, but not sure about the chest emblem and other stuff.
  5. Um... Wow.

    Let's just chalk this up to "you get what you pay for" in a most literal sense. If you didn't pay for what the free extras comes with, then you don't get the free extras. If I get a free t-shirt with the purchase of a 12 pack of Enriche, and a 12 pack of Enriche costs $60, but instead I spend $600 on other stuff at the Enriche store, I don't get a free t-shirt, because I didn't buy what the free t-shirt comes with.

    Now, I can see some concern over those who still want the freedom to purchase the free extras a la carte. After all, from what I can tell those who want to do this buy pretty much EVERYTHING associated with the game a la carte. Well, unfortunately these aren't a la carte items.

    Really? I knew you could receive and accept an invite, but thought you had to be VIP to invite others in. Good to know.
  7. I'm a little confused about how this is a fix of an exploit. Don't you have to also be level 10 to email converted enhancements back?

    I suppose you could drop them off in SG storage, but then you'd also need a spare VIP account or a tremendously cooperative buddy to keep inviting the new toons in. Or an accomplice who just happens to want to swap out pairs of converter toons at the same time you do. Just seems like too much work. It'd be easier, or just as easy, to find a team to speed run a few TFs for 20 merits and a 1/2 million inf in the same amount of time.

    This was all explained in the MotD. But I hear you need the decoder ring souvenir you get from the Dr Aeon TF to read it.
  8. What happens if you do stab Tielekku?

    As this is an arc that is available to all players surely it needs to not send people to a VIP area .

    Hopefully this problem won't happen on TFs.
    Being VIP myself, I didn't know non VIPs couldn't enter the new DA. I kinda figures only a VIP could run the arcs there but I thought anyone could enter.
  10. Well, just checked the Flashback missions, and all the DA arcs 1-6 seem to be there, including personal story arcs for the contacts. So my friend must either be blind, or his toon bugged, as he can't find any but arc 6.

    If there is any confirmation on that thread Heather Townsend's arc is available via Flashback, I can't find it. I'm about to log in so I'll check the pillar myself to see if it's there.

    A friend of mine tried this (the flashback) and said he couldn't find it in the list of Flashback missions. Does he have to complete some other mission before it's available there, or is this just a bug?

    Okay, cool. I was worried it wouldn't work if the duplicate name was on my account rather than another. I have a level 42 "Dust Raven" sitting on one server that I don't play on anymore and would like to move him to the server I do play on, but which also has a Dust Raven (different AT, no need to get too redundant ). I didn't want to have to use a character transfer token only to find I also needed to pay for a rename too.

    Thanks!
  14. If I transfer a character (with the name Dust Raven) from one server to another where I already have a character with the same name (Dust Raven), what happens? Do I get to rename the character for free as I would if it was someone else who had that name, or something else?

    Best. Day. Ever!

  16. This is awesome and something I've been waiting for since Freedom launched.

    Not all of the "newcomers" are new after all.

    I'm considering jumping there myself as if I miss this window I'll have to wait an unknown time to have another shot at this set.

    I'm assuming if you get this set, but then downgrade from VIP to f2p, you can still use it? It's probably a dumb question, but if I dish out the extra cash for points, then I can't use that cash to pay for my subscription.

    Well, the "good" news is you receive reward tokens for spending real money on paragon points. I wouldn't recommend it unless you definitely had something you wanted to spend those points on though, otherwise you'd be spending between $150-$200 just for a handful of (awesome) costume pieces.
  19. That looks pretty damn awesome actually!

    That back piece is... interesting, though the wing type things seen in the samples Oliin suggested look really good. I might have to pick this up. Not too sure if it's worth spending extra real money to buy the extra reward tokens I'll need to get it right away, but it's something to think about.

    Thanks!

    The rest of t9 rewards can be purchased more than once, so you can just buy more of that. The VIP T9 items are suppose to rotate through every few months or so, from what I understand. Right now I want to know of the Celestial Costumes are better than, say, 8 more Windfall or XP Boosters.
  21. I see this as an exclusive reward available only to VIPers. Could someone please post pics of the various pieces. I have no idea what they look like and would rather not spend points on something I'll end up hating. I'm pretty sure I'll love it, I just want to see it all first.

    I'm having the same problem. I have for some time now, and it's each time I've restarted my comp. Once I've ended the startup process it launches fine.

    Although the startup I can't load properly does download and install patches just fine. Just can't launch the game until I end it then restart.

    Yes, it will mean you are screwed out of all the free stuff the rest of us are getting. This exact thing happened with my wife's account for last loyalty badge. This time we're not taking any chances and have paid in advance for both of our accounts to cover the entire duration.
