    What, the Alpha slot? If that's what you're referring to, yes, all Incarnate-related content is accessible only for those who own GR (which will be all VIPs when I21 drops).
  2. Whatever, HEATs/VEATs, you all know what I meant.

    As for the various EATs -- NO, they may NOT "cross over" to the customarily opposite side. Of course if you have unlocked HEAT/VEAT access, you may start one in the tutorial, but you cannot take a VEAT to Atlas, nor a HEAT to Mercy. You are "locked" into following the traditional alignment starting path (until level 20, if you have access to the alignment system) with those toons.

    (All this is subject to change during the ongoing Beta effort, I'm sure.)
  3. Also, don't forget that once you unlock your Alpha slot (at 50, obviously), your toon has access to THREE total builds...
  4. The tutorial IS Galaxy City (i.e., GC is no longer a "normal" zone), and yes, you will be able to start ANY non-EAT (no Khelds or SoAs/Widows) in it. During the tutorial you decide via your in-game actions whether to be a villain or hero, regardless of the AT you chose, and then you will be ushered to the appropriate starting zone for your alignment (Atlas Park or Mercy).

    Praetoria is unchanged.
  5. Neat project, Organica, I'm following it with quite a bit of interest.

    Thought I'd mention for anyone who isn't aware, that you don't have to succeed on a Safeguard or Mayhem mission in order to have a contact offered to you afterward -- you just have to complete it (success OR fail, either one works).

I can't believe this wasn't a thought in their minds when creating rewards program!
    You probably should have read some of the posts then, since right above yours almost a month ago I pointed out that what you're saying will NOT be the case. It's been public for quite some time.
  7. Sounds like you are using the old updater, which was disabled August 4.

    See here for info on the replacement that you are now required to use.

Additionally you can spend money and convert the reward Merits you get from doing Task Forces and arcs into more Alignment Merits. Despite the money to convert that can quite often end up being more efficient than just getting recipes at the Merit Vendor or AH.
    Since nobody mentioned it, I wanted to add to this that you can only do what LL details here for Alignment Merits if you are a "pure" Hero or Villain alignment -- if you are a Vigilante or a Rogue, you can still do this, but instead of an AM, you receive 60 Reward Merits.

    (Also, the first time a Hero or Villain completes this mini-cycle, instead of an Alignment Merit, you receive 50 Reward Merits, but they can be "cashed in" with the appropriate Alignment Vendor in Fort Trident or The Crucible along with 20 million inf for 1 AM.)
  11. Between my 2 accounts I have 40 level 50 toons, and my best friend has 50+ over 2 accounts.

    /shrug

    So was your question really more along the lines of "will anyone ever have 48 level 50s on the same server?" (The answer is, of course, "yes", since there are people that currently have 36 or nearly so on one server, I'm sure.)

  14. This whole thread is a slap in the face.
  15. In fact, a Praetorian can even be level pacted with a non-Praetorian as long as you can meet up in the same zone to create the pact (like in Pocket D, for instance).

    Yeah, this. You never use the slash within the actual macro -- the game assumes it.

Or at least someone showing up. That is not "atrophy." That, like badging, like base building, like RP is a healthy subset of the community - that, frankly, could have kept going.
    I also play on Victory, and I have to agree with Bill here 100% -- that was EXACTLY the way it was prior to I13. Siren's Call, in particular (and to a lesser extent Warburg), was simply hopping many nights, with a changing group of players and toons warring one side vs. the other. It was a ton of fun -- and this is coming from a person who really does not enjoy most aspects of PvP at all. If, arguably, we have I13's PvP changes to primarily "thank" the end of zone PvP for, then it's a darn shame (and boy, were base raids fun too!).

    Yeah, that's where I am, too. When I first saw them the other day, it was somewhat jarring and I immediately had a negative recation. Now that I'm getting used to it, however, it isn't seeming so bad after all. (I will, however, say that I'm not a big fan of anything that has a "console-gamey" feel to it, and to me that's the way these icons come off.)

    I understand new players will perhaps need some more handholding to locate folks, but given the new 'teleport to contact feature', I was also hoping the arrows were a visual option. Maybe Null shuts them off? Just wondering.
    I didn't see that option, nor does Null appear to have any new functionality. And by the way, the arrows aren't always yellow -- they change based on the status of the contact (i.e., green for "has something for you", yellow for "in progress", etc.).

    Granted I didn't spend hours digging for the setting, but I don't think it's currently disableable (but perhaps it will be later on).

    Yes...and 400 is not "a bunch" (nor do you get them all at once, since the monthly stipend is only doled out monthly).
