Quote:No, if you buy the Alpha Slot unlock and claim that on your new 50, you do not have to run Ramiel's arc. You can if you want to. There are 3 ways to unlock Alpha. Ramiel's arc, The Voucher, and Running trials. If you haven't unlocked Alpha, and get in on a BAF, then all iXP goes to Alpha first.1.) Ok, I am about to get another level 50 Brute and I want to unlock the Alpha Slot on that char. I already got another level 50 Brute that has all 5 incarnate slots open with abilities that are up to tier 4 and though I plan to start buying that armor that Astral Christy and Empyrean Mike sell in Ouroboros as well wanting a tier 4 Victoria MK VI with a battle orb to swap with my Storm Elementals as I please, I still have a ton of Astral Merits and can afford to spend 5 of those toward the Alpha Slot Voucher and send it to the brute that needs the Alpha Slot. Do I still have to run the Mender Ramiel Story Arc?
Quote:2.) Speaking of pet swapping, I want the Storm Elementals for BAFs so they can get aggressive and shoot the escaping resistance fighters, I don't use pets on the other trials right now unless asked by my leaders to avoid costing the league any badges like on Keyes, where the pets get caught by positrons hold powers and cost the league some kind of badge they want. But I want the Tier 4 Victoria MK VI with a Battle Orb to help me kill Elite Bosses or to play with outside of Incarnate Trials because of it's buffs and the fact that Vicky hides and stays out of my way. Plus they cool. But I won't destroy any pets if I unslot and switch them, will I?
Quote:3.) On some IO enhancement sets, I notice they come with buffs that last for like 2 minutes, like the recovery on Miracle for example, Can those be slotted in auto powers and what happens they get slotted in an auto power? Does it just do a roll to see if it shoots off once every hour or something? I have seen a lot post with replies talking about this, but not seen anything specific on what happens when you do this. -
Heard this same argument before when AE came out. The slew of 'AE Babies' threads were mind boggling. People complaining about level 50s that didn't even know how to slot enhancements, or who didn't know that they could train up with anyone other than Ms Liberty cause that was the only trainer they were introduced to, and many many more.
Prior to that it was the broadcast spam in PI for farms and PLing, and bridges.
The point is, it doesn't matter what device people use for fast XP, they'll find a way. Nerfing DFB won't stop you from running into high level characters that have no clue what exists beyond Atlas Park.
In short...

Quote:Why is it broken to be able to get A-Merits at 14? Hell prior to this patch you could get them via the SSA at 10. And again, how is that broken? I think you've just misunderstood that because a-merits can be earned(Not bought) after running the morality missions which you can only get after level 20, that you think only level 20+ characters should be able to get them.Being able to get an A-Merit at level 14 was obviously broken and had to be fixed.
Like someone else said you can still buy them at any level so long as you've got the inf, reward merits, and are either hero or villain. -
As long as I can disable the message, and I'd like to disable the one from Pocket D, and all the other transition zones. I know when I'm switching sides, but I understand not everyone can keep track of it, or forget.

I could be wrong, but I'd bet that any proc slotted in Distortion field would only have a chance of firing when it's activated, not when the chance to hold fires.
On the chance I am wrong, this is what I got off from Mids'
5.95 second hold(Mag 3) to Target (2% chance after 0.25 seconds, to Critters if not delayed) -
Quote:It doesn't bother me in the least.Redraw is a constant thorn in the side of anyone who plays weapon sets, be they melee or ranged.
It's been said before by the devs(Most recently in the Street Justice discussion on Ustream with Synapse) that redraw is part of the weapon sets balance. Right now as part of that balance for weapon sets having redraw is that they get a better base accuracy than power sets that do not use weapons and therefore have no redraw. -

It's not that hard to change your difficulty settings. -
Huh, guess I was wrong. I rarely exemp, and I rarely use enhancement drops, so I guess I just never noticed that they weren't dropping. Good to know though.

Quote:The reward from the Death from Below(Sewer) trial is a temporary auto power that lasts until you hit level 21. Also, they do not stack when you select the same one. So if you run the trial 4 times, and every time you select Accuracy, you're only benefiting from 1. But if you run it 4 times and select each reward separately, then you benefit from all four.So I played in a number of teamed story arcs and Task Forces over the weekend and I noticed that no matter what enhancement reward I clicked on at the end, I never recieved it (I always chose the Accuracy enhancement, but one never dropped into my tray). What's going on?
Quote:I also noticed that I did not recieve a single enhancement drop the entire time I was doing the Positron TF (both parts). Is this because I was exemplar'ed down under the TF's level cap?
Added in <wrong> tags as Catwhoorg and StarGeek hoisted me on my own petard. -
Street Justice should be available on the market soon... I'm anticipating in about 15 minutes.

Quote:This I agree with and can get behind. With Task forces being 18 hours(Or is it 21? I forget) it's easy to remember 'Oh yeah, I ran the ITF on this alt yesterday, I should be good to run it again if I feel like it." But seven days, and even with the minimum of 12 alts, it's hard to keep track!1) Restart the timer on Tuesday, just as the WST is done. Personally I think this is the cleanest answer from a customer perspective.
Quote:2) Give the player the relevant information needed to know whether or not they can claim a reward. Perhaps this can be another dialog with the contact. Personally I don't really care what the implementation details would be, I just care that players get access to the information they need to know whether they are wasting their time when running the SSA.
Quote:A note to fellow players - I am not interested in manual work-arounds, so you can spare the effort of typing them out. There needs to be an in-game solution, not a user's manual work-around. -
Quote:A good rule of thumb is don't post angry. Or in the case of this thread don't post boiling mad. Type up your post, re-read it, wait til you've calmed down, and then edit the anger out.Look, people, the reason that I mostly only post what seems to be rants, is because I usually only have something to rant about, or else when I try to sometimes post a thread with a simple request for help, which I have, in the past? Somehow, it comes out sounding like a rant, and, sometimes I am just plain confused about things! Please understand, that I am trying to do my best, but, I am only a casual gamer?

So instead of beating this dead horse he could beat the dead horse laying over there?

Right now in the Search window we can filter through various things like levels, maps and even Archtypes. We can search by name, even partial names. But we can't search through the search comments.
Why would this be good? Well for instance, say you're setting up to run a Posi TF. You hit up local, and global channels, even search for anyone who might want to run it, but through either using all your filters, or not using any at all, you can't find that person who's search comments say "Will do anything for Posi 1!!!!!"
Same could be said for those needing certain Safeguard, or Mayhem missions that they've out leveled, but still need the badges. -

I'll start by saying I am in America, but this down time, and many others cut into my play time. I work over nights, and usually get home around 6 to 7 AM central, which means when the regular maintenance goes up at 8am central, I don't get much time for play after taking a shower, and eating. By the time -this- downtime is over, I'll have gone to sleep, and when I wake up I get to go right to work. So I am effectively loosing an entire days worth of play. I have been hit just as much as the EU players in the last two months with the downtimes.
Now... if you really want to quibble over compensation for these down times, then you need to get real. This is a GAME. Sure it sucks not being able to play it whenever you want, but you pay that monthly sub knowing that it's not going to be up 24/7. This game is paid for in months. When you suffer a month of downtime then ask for compensation. And for those asking for free paragon points, you're getting 400 every month, regardless of if you play during that month or not.
Some folks have brought up the cable going out, asking for credit argument. Do you ask for extra compensation from your cable company because not only did they charge you for your cable that you couldn't use during that time, but you also couldn't play your online games, get access to your social medias, or update your resume on CareerBuilder which made you miss out on an interview for a new job? Might as well, since the cable going out cost you all that time too. Let me know how well that goes over.
To all the "EU players are getting treated like second class citizens" posts, I'm not comment on -all- of those points, since they don't all affect me. Just the downtimes, because they do affect me.
You're upset, and you want to be heard, you have that right. But demanding free stuff(Or laughably threatening a law suit) only makes you look like opportunists. Rather than simply providing feedback, you provide hyperbole. Posts that while might be read by those who make the decisions on when downtime will be, think that you're just aggro and want free stuff. Not a consumer of their product who's dissatisfied. -
Quote:With that being said I'll toss in my $0.02, and say that even at that sale price, it's way too expensive. Personally I wouldn't pay more than 50 PP for any of the NPC costume powers. But that's just my opinion.Hi,
Ghost Falcon here, and I would like to thank everyone for providing comments on our Talk Like a Pirate Day - Spectral Pirate Costume Power promotion.
We are actively monitoring this thread and the sales data of this item. Both will be used in designing and altering future promotions.
Please note that at the end of this sale, the Spectral Pirate Costume will be removed, and will not be available for sale in the Paragon Market again in the near future.
For additional clarification, this is an account-wide "Permanent" NPC Costume Power, and not a Temporary Power.
I want to thank everyone again for their input.
Thanks,

Ok, logged onto an alt, and tried to use the barbarian bottoms on it, and it gave me no problems, switched back to original toon, and everything is working fine now. Not sure what caused the glitch, but it seems fixed now.

Quote:http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...0-13-05-35.jpgDoes it look that way if you step away from the furniture? The first image is hard to tell any detail in (due to size/distance) except that it appears as if you are too close to the furniture and it is clipping through your body.
The second could be the same issue, but it's a bit difficult to tell due to the size/distance.
http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...0-13-05-41.jpg
Here's a couple more with her standing on the tram platform in Talos. So yeah, it's not a furniture clipping issue. Also the Barbarian bottoms is the only costume piece I've found so far that's doing this. I didn't have this problem at all yesterday. -
When I did a server transfer, and the name had been taken already, I was a bit upset I didn't get the rename token, but when I logged in the character, a UI popped up telling me to rename her there. After selecting the new name, nothing appeared to have changed, but then when I did a /quit and the timer showed up next to her name, it changed to the new name.

Gah, sorry, it's not the skirt, it's the 'bottoms' that look like leather panties.
Edit: I did ask someone in game, and they said I look whole, so this might be something on my end...
