A bit of helpful info on the wiki here.

Quote:Soon to be level 14, however.Originally Posted by gameboy1234
It was pointed out on another thread that Ouroboros provides the means to do your missions on hard mode and get badges for it. However that doesn't happen until level 25.

...but what about Jailbird and Isolator? Will those now be impossible to get?

Ignoring the desire for more storage at the moment, if your only reason for buying the points right away is reward tokens, have you considered a multi-month subscription? You get all your Rewards up front (though Points are still monthly), and even if you're already on a multi-month, you can pay early through PayPal. That's what I'll be doing to get myself to T9 as soon after release as possible.
And the only reason for buying that many isn't the Reward Tokens -- it's also all the cool shiny new stuff those PPs will buy me. -

I stand corrected. This is indeed what happens.

I like the idea of "stars", but I still wish they were linked with friends list.

All of it. Every damn thing. I plan on buying a metric ton of PPs right off the bat so as to earn bonus Reward Tokens, and this is how I'll likely use a lot of them. I love the idea of increased storage on my toons.

Quote:Have you downloaded and installed the Beta client?Originally Posted by Struder
Hmm been plsying this game for 72 months straight and I can only log into test server no BETA to click, any one else have this issue?
-
Quote:Make sure you're logging into the BETA server, and not the TEST server. Others have reported getting in with no issues over the past 30 minutes.Originally Posted by Restrainer
I'm trying to access the Beta server for city of heroes but it says that my account doesn't have access and access is restricted for the public. I only re-subbed to the game this morning, do you think that's why? Or do I have to set my account up for it somewhere?

Quote:No, these are the Test patch notes. Which may end up being identical to the Live build, but until official Live patch notes are posted we won't know for sure. As of now, today's Live patch notes have yet to be posted on the main website.Originally Posted by Tyger42
Wait for what? That was the notes...

Quote:If you have a hero or villain above level 20, the appropriate EAT is accessible.Originally Posted by Effigy
If you already had characters above 20th level, are the epic archetypes unlocked? Or does one have to do it with a brand new character?
It was, but was lowered to a more attainable requirement of 20 a few issues back.Quote:Originally Posted by Effigy
This is all news to me, as I've come back after a long hiatus. I recall having to get to 50th to unlock these... -
Quote:Actually, Zwill indicated that we will have 10,000 PPs to use for test purchases, and they hope to have it available later today when the open beta begins (a little less than 2 hours from now).Originally Posted by TerraDraconis
Well I know that some of the power sets are locked until you buy them and they aren't giving us points to test with for a few days.

Quote:And there is your issue -- you MUST level one of the hero ATs up as a hero (meaning NOT as a Praetorian).Originally Posted by DogTags
That is the ONLY thing I have not done. My gosh I really enjoy praetoria to.

Quote:It's a game mechanic...I think you're over-analyzing.Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven
I do... those events, for any new characters... are not IN your past at all. As such, you can't (logically) go back to them.
-
Quote:Generally speaking, you can't (other than of course Ouroboros, where doing so uses the TF/SF interface, which works, but does not allow you to invite people along mid-run). You CAN, of course, still hit up any of your high-level contacts that you haven't finished, but what I think is being referred to here is that you can "save" a particular mission that works well as a farm and play and reset it over and over by doing some of the content but not completing it. Then all toons exit the map and you "reset" it by selecting another mission and then back to the farm.Originally Posted by Mashuguna
I did not know you could go back to old contacts after 50 and run missions more than once.

No way in heck could I stand to sit there and do EITHER method for very long in a solid stretch of time.

Quote:They do NOW (and did at first for a short time IIRC)...but they were single-character only credit for the longest time...Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
The reason is, again, that Pillboxes count for everyone on your team, while Heavies only count for you.

Quote:Feel free to go do it the less repugnant way, then come back and let us know how long it takes for you to switch to the more "efficient" way.Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven
I guess passive was the wrong word. I guess what I meant was, I am not actually playing the game using that method... in fact, I am using the fact that I am not IN the game to acquire an easier route to a reward.
But, I suppose the same issue was raised with Day Jobs... but at least those were INTENDED to be earned in that way.
Le sigh.

Quote:Good point (I use the "/buycoh" command myself).Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Slightly modified. Gets it to 35-40 seconds per heavy.
-
Go in, grab Heavy, leave zone. Lather, rinse repeat.
It's tedious, but there it is. (Used to be you could release and re-control the Heavies, but that loophole was closed up a long time ago.) -
Quote:I don't see any reason they'd remove them.Originally Posted by Nericus
For the purposes of getting Isolator and Jailbird, will the old tutorials still be part of the ouroborus training arc?
-
Quote:I hear ya.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Of course. Just bored at work and nitpicking that the game usE's the term "Soldiers of Arachnos" to refer to both Arachnos soldiers and Arachnos widows.

Quote:A) Define "starting area". There are 2 with I21 -- Atlas and Mercy. 1 Tutorial leading into each. VEATs/HEATs skip it entirely.Originally Posted by Roderick
Eric, with i21, there won't BE any starting point other than Galaxy. I'm not even sure if we'll have the option to skip the tutorial. And like I said before, the devs specifically made mention of starting a VEAT in Atlas (but like I said, I'm pretty sure it was during a uStream, and I don't really have the several hours to devote to re-watching them all).
B) Regardless of what anyone's said, VEATs/HEATs do NOT have the ability to go anywhere other than their usual starting locations (i.e., HEATS > Atlas, VEATs > Mercy). As I said, of course, that's subject to change (but makes little sense to me if they do change it).
