    Nope. Once he's out of Praetoria, he's fine.

    No problem. He'll be stuck at whatever alignment, but you can still access the character.


    Of course, both of these conditions assume that the character is not a restricted AT (like mastermind, controller, kheldian, etc) or using a powerset that you have not purchased (like Street Justice).

    To make overachievers happy.

    And those glowies are the SMALLEST glowies ever seen. In terms of game scale, they are probably about 10-12 inches tall and quite narrow. It's very easy to overlook them.
  4. Actually, some locations do have draconian restrictions. In NY City, you can return anything within 3 days for no reason whatsoever.
    They can have a thousand signs saying "All Sales Final" and the law takes precedence.

    Oh, let's not debate it. He made the whole thing up. Or maybe it happens to be the law in the specific location he is in, since these restrictions are set by state and local governments. For example, New York City (where I live) has much stricter requirements than the rest of the state. But his post was utter fantasy as far as applying to the NCSoft store.

    It states very plainly that it CAN be applied to an existing account, but only a FREE account (not Premium, not VIP).

    Don't hold your breath. I haven't bothered to update my beta or test installs since they broke the damn copy tool.

    It's "random". And when I say 'random', I mean:

    - If you have completely controlled circumstances with no items initially for sale and a group of coordinated bidders to test the system, then it's not really random and you can reproduce the results.

    - Under normal circumstances, with bids and sales going in constantly, it's EFFECTIVELY random.

    Well, any chance you can find someone who goes around earning the healing badges for other SGs out of the goodness of their heart? I can't be the only person who does it. So far, I have earned the healing badges for 41 different SGs.

    If your SG is on Infinity or Triumph, drop me a PM.

    Not initially. If you start as a hero and do the 10 tips and a Hero morality mission, the FIRST time you get 50 Reward Merits. After that you get A-Merits.

    If you don't start as a hero, you have to do the 10 tips and morality mission to become a hero and receive NOTHING (the alignment change is the reward). Then another set of 10 gets you the Reward Merits noted above.

    As explained, it's working correctly and as intended. Now you know how the market works. Use this knowledge for good.

    My main character has earned over 4 million prestige. None of it was bought and he spent a lot of time out of SG mode back when the final influence badge was for earning 2 billion inf. I have several other toons over 1 million prestige with none of it bought.

    So.... yes.

    On a side note, I also have a solo storage SG where I bought the prestige.

    Additionally, I bought an entire VG with 2.5 million prestige in the bank for a lot less than it would have cost to convert from inf. This was back in the day before we could send stuff cross-faction, so I needed a VG for storage.

    bio of Staff Sgt Frost (ice/SS tank)
    Secret identities are for wusses. Staff Sergeant Daniel Frost is a soldier's soldier. He was with a team of Army Rangers on a covert operation in Central America. Intel said the base was a terrorist training camp. Intel was wrong. It was a Crey installation. Most of the Rangers were killed. Several were captured.

    The Crey scientists decided to use the soldiers in their experiments. They had several research projects ongoing and, based on his name, decided to subject Sgt Frost to the 'popsicle project'. He was given the ability to freeze the water in and around his body, and the strength to move his frozen limbs. But they made him a little too strong, and he was able to break free of the restraints and do a little re-decorating - first the lab, then the scientists faces.

    Given an honorable discharge, Staff Sgt Frost isn't finished serving his country.

    To be precise, they will all be AVAILABLE to be unlocked and you will have to unlock each one. You'll get them all back at no cost but, due to the way the system works, you have to go through the nuisance of unlocking them all (just once, unless your subscription lapses again).

    You'd think something this straightforward would work correctly. It's a bit simpler than an incarnate trial.....

    A blanket statement like that is ridiculous. Sometimes the reasoning can be perfectly sound. Not to mention, the leader can be stupid and/or incompetent.

    Yes. Both the forums and playerbase in general. The lack of large-scale 'raid' content has long been perceived, *BY PLAYERS*, as a shortcoming. And before anyone starts putting words in my mouth, I'm not saying that MOST people want it. I doubt that 'most' people care about farming, the market, soloing, PvP, etc, etc. But SOME people care about *ALL* of these things so it is wise to include as large a variety as possible.

    P.S. Speaking for myself, yes, I want the big raid content.
  24. Next up is the Synapse TF. I'm sure the TF has an actual name, but I can't be bothered to look it up. It's something about the Clockwork King.
