    No and no. It *IS* "first purchase". Your first purchase of points gets you an extra bonus token. It makes no difference how many retail codes you have applied.
  2. Any chance the video card is overheating? i.e. Do you monitor the temperature?

    Also, though it likely has nothing to do with this problem, you should set the NCSoft Launcher to close after you start the game since it supposedly has a memory leak. It definitely uses excessive memory.

    Yeah, we have voice-overs in the tutorial. How about a song!

    umm... we concluded it's a mission door for a mission that's not active yet.

    From that, I would conclude that it's a popular topic and that people WANT to talk about it.
    Still not seeing a problem.
  6. Big turnout. We had two teams of seven without any recruiting from global channels.

    We discussed it a couple months ago, when it was first noticed.

    Although it was on a global channel, not the forums. Still, the helicopter has been there (on live) for quite some time.

    You're in the wrong mission. He most certainly does fight in the mission people are talking about. Maybe he doesn't fight in the VILLAIN version? I only ran the villain version once so I don't recall.
  9. Actually, I think we can overlook a lot of attitude if someone has valuable information. But when they have attitude and no clue, then watch out.

    The present spawns aren't the issue. They spawn based on the level of the zone. It's the enemies that the Winter Lord spawns personally. Those are based on the level of whoever he happens to be targeting. Babbage does this too.

    I knew someone who did. And he took a screenshot of it. He took Sally out with the Nuclear Blast.

    Ah, yes.... the peppers cultivated by the inmates of a Guatemalan prison for the criminally insane.
    As I recall, Johnny Cash played his spirit animal - a coyote.

    Hello...

    Actually, EVERYONE can post in certain sections - the ones marked as "ALL ACCESS".

    Also, they said they were going to turn on the yellow titles for all VIP players, whether you set that preference or not. However, this does not appear to have happened, since my name is not showing up in gold. Maybe that will happen later. Or maybe they changed their minds.

    Is that the first rule of competitive frog racing?

    (shrug) A big transaction could be a mortgage payment or a 55" television.

    By the same token, one should not be afraid to OVERSLOT if it is the most efficient way to get the build to where you want it.

    1) EVERY game design decision is made by an extreme minority - the Devs.
    2) It's beta. Every aspect of the systems on beta is subject to dramatic change, at any time, with no warning. That's how it works.

    1. A lot of people don't like the ski runs.
    2. It's been done before. Twice.

    I'd like to see something completely new and different. Maybe curling. Or snow forts and snowball fights. How about frostbite debuffs if you aren't wearing any costume parts with fur?

    I wouldn't expect that the 'different' Ouroboros would matter.
    Have you tried logging out in Cimerora?

    Yeah, I commented on this in another thread. I had created two characters about 2 months ago, maybe a week apart from each other. I logged into both yesterday. One had the trays cleared and the other did not.

    Unless there was a stealth change recently, this is wrong.
    If you run the mission to CHANGE to hero or villain, then you must run the full set AGAIN to CONFIRM your alignment.
