    However...this option doesn't also net you a bunch of Paragon Points to spend on top of the bonus Tokens, so I'm with Neuronia on this one.
  2. Welcome back!

    The best way these days is to find your server's most active Global channel(s) and hang out there. Usually you can find them in the server's forum below.

    Good luck!

    I use Sprint for the +Stealth proc specifically so I can elect to disable most of the stealth at will (of course SS gives some, but it's not too bad by itself) while still being able to move quickly.

    You're right, pretty much any stealth-giving power added to the proc gives full invisibility or beyond (for me, the Speed pool offers more upside than the Stealth pool, but of course YMMV).

    I think what you're missing is the "in our new Paragon Rewards Program" phrase. Right now there IS no program (it won't exist until I21 hits) and, so, no awards until then.

    That's the logical read on that as far as I'm concerned, anyway.

    I prefer Stealth IO in Sprint + Super Speed. That gives full invisibility (actually 65').

    They do, but not while in Praetoria. Currently, you can only advance to level 20 in Praetoria by doing the content that is there (of course someone could level pact or street hunt or otherwise grind up to 50, but not via normal mission content, so it's really not done commonly) and are then directed either to the Rogue Isles or Paragon City. Once there, your toon would then advance to 50 and experience the PPPs or EPPs as normal.

    If one of your motivations is earning additional PRP credit -- then I'd say yes.

    Tried that, using TJ's Global (since my own is only one word), and I got what TJ got on his test -- no inf change, no error message returned.
  9. You will use Paragon Points to buy everything in the store -- you won't directly buy anything. So I believe the answer to your question is "yes". (The booster packs will be sold in pieces, by the way.)

    However, there is no credit earned on any of this until I21/Freedom goes live later in the year.

    And the monthly stipend of 400 PPs (or 550 for some veterans) does NOT count toward "bought" PPs for credit for additional Paragon Rewards Program tokens.

    Exactly correct, Forbin. There was a time, with Items of Power, where the system was supposed to be set so that you had raiding "windows" where other SGs could raid and steal the IoP, but it was never fully realized. The base raids that existed were only for fun/PvP practice/bragging rights and had to be purposely scheduled between SGs.
  11. Or they've been boosted by the Enhancement Boosters. Nobody knows yet.

    Not recipes, apparently, but pre-crafted IOs. Not that it will really make much difference for uncommons anyway.

    Yes, generally.
  14. Glad to hear it sounds like you guys are all having fun, Tia! At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.
  15. This was fixed with the 6/28/11 patch.

    Interface Procs as used in location targeted and toggle powers should once again be capable of applying their proc to all characters hit by the AOE when the Interface power is otherwise allowed to proc.

    Who knows? Maybe we'll see stuff similar to that available for purchase in the Paragon Market.

    In large part due to the complaints from Galaxy City RPers I believe (not that it fully addresses all their concerns, but it was a nice gesture).
  22. I didn't see it mentioned, but currently Ouroboros access is gated at level 25 (although this seems to be changing downward to at least 14 with the release of CoH: Freedom from what we've been told so far).

    So you'd have to level up at least that far without consistent Flashback access (lowbie Flashback via base access, the viability of which people disagree on, notwithstanding).

    Agge is right, 14 was the latest number I saw mentioned by a redname.
