Quote:And when you tire of playing the character, get it refunded again? No. It has to be deletion or nothing.Originally Posted by Shubbie
Locked would make more sense since they have the technology to do so and it doesnt come with the connotations of deletion.
Also if someone later changes their mind or the powerset is changed to be better, you could purchase again and it could be unlocked. -
Quote:And yet, it's a common practice in many industries. There are plenty of situations where you can only get a refund if a product is actually defective.Originally Posted by Shubbie
Like it or not, leaving customers unhappy with their purchase with no recourse.
ITS NOT GOOD BUSINESS!!! -
Quote:The OP had a lot of bluster and incorrect 'facts', but I do agree that some things should be refundable. Of course, if you want a refund of a powerset, it should give you warning that any character using that set will be flat-out DELETED from your account.Originally Posted by SpittingTrashcan
I can't believe I'm saying this, but OP has a point.
That would be the only way a refund could work but I can anticipate people not paying attention and ending up screaming bloody murder on the forums about toons being deleted, or it was carrying a lot of inf, etc, etc.
The question is: which is the worse can of worms: having refunds, or not having them? -
Quote:There was no reason for it to go back on test - it WORKED. Changing a few numeric values would not require a second round of testing.Originally Posted by Shubbie
The set was changed from the time it came off beta but before live, and did not go back on test.
Your sentence seems deceptive, because it is FALSE.Quote:There was no way to view the real stats before purchasing, so again I feel this was a somewhat deceptive.
1) You could have gone to the test server and checked out every detail.
2) Typing the power name into the chat window will bring up the power details for ANY power in the game. Try typing [Dry Heave] in the chat line.
I disagree with the first sentence since beta is to test FUNCTIONALITY, not if you 'like' something. As for the second sentence, this is why the test server exists.Quote:Originally Posted by CactusBrawler
You probably have grounds to ask for a refund then, especially if the set you beta tested was not the set you bought.
Paragon Really do need to allow people to try before they buy when it comes to powersets. -
Quote:I would go the LotG route. Here's one good reason: you're looking at the prices NOW. What if 'hardcore' players stockpile their A-Merits for the PvP recipes and crash those prices just as you're about to sell yours?Originally Posted by MaestroMavius
So, I debated saving up A-Merits to get a Glad and become a billionaire for the 1st time. Or, just cashing in every 2 for a LotG along the way. Which of the two would you pick?
FYI, I currently have about 35 A-Merits stockpiled from doing the SSA, spread out across about 18 characters. I really can't imagine that I'm the only person doing this. -
Quote:Are you sure? It didn't work that way when I transferred a toon. (This was prior to Issue 21.) I transferred a character with a deliberately unusual name and it was available on the destination server. No rename token, no change to the name.Originally Posted by MaestroMavius
You will get a rename when you transfer even if the name is available.
When you transfer it'll come up with the name and a 1 at the end. All you have to do to keep your name if it's free is remove the 1. -
With the option to buy more on a server. VIPs can have a maximum of 48 characters per server. Non-VIPs can have 36.

Cool. That's eight but, since the SF only needs 4 to start, we can do two teams if we get anyone else. For example, Gata is likely to show up unannounced and Rasset will probably be lurking about.

The outfit is okay, but it doesn't feel right for Jor-El to be so . . so . . . scruffy-looking.

Fixed an issue which could cause gender deformation during Ultra Tailor sessions for players with weapon based powersets.

Quote:I never slot the proc. I slot the other 5 pieces plus a recharge IO - the Positron's set has nowhere near enough recharge in it.Originally Posted by Young_Tutor
IO wise I now have Positron's Blast 5 slotted with a level 25 common damage IO in the 6th slot. I had two bids out for the proc,

Quote:Yeah, yeah. . . just like when they had something you could only get through a specific vendor. Deal with it. It's a very common practice.Originally Posted by Justice Blues
And thank you so much for locking part of your player base out of this, for no reason whatsoever.

Quote:Math alert: 60 hours.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
Ah, makes sense... just a warning, there's a 20 hour timer after you purchase anything with a-merits before you can make another purchase! So at a minimum, that'd take 80 hours (/4 days-ish) to blow through them all.
Spend 2.
Wait 20 hours.

Since you start and finish with the spending events, you only have to wait for the timer 3 times. -

6. Any other info a old returning player should know?Particularly, go to the Issues page. All the issue releases are listed in chronological order and it links to each one telling you what was introduced or changed in that issue. This is useful to anyone who has been gone a while.Quote:Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
6) Check out ParagonWiki, it's a great resource. Other than that, welcome back! And feel free to ask any questions you may have!

Quote:Someone posted a bunch of screenshots in another thread to show off the celestial pieces. One shot had a character holding a rifle with a glowing circle on it. Could it be in the celestial set?Originally Posted by Captain_Photon
it looked a little like the Vanguard rifle, but shorter and with a nifty circular glowy bit on the side panel.

Well, I guess they're willing to jump through a few extra hoops when we're talking about $1500 of computer hardware vs the chump change for an online game.

Quote:The ending bonus is variable and based on the TF length. It can be from 1/3 to 1/2 a level.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
Plus, there's all the lower level SF/TFs... especially the WTF, which gives 5 bars of XP upon completion as well!
All but one. In order to get the Nictus Sword you have to defeat Romulus 5 times. You can only defeat him 4 times in one run of the TF.Quote:Originally Posted by Arbegla
Yep, after your first run of the ITF, you unlock all the roman costume pieces. Which i think even includes the weapons and shields. -
It's believed that the Launcher has its own memory leak. Do you have the Launcher set to exit when you start the game?
-
And has the base been consistently in use? If it lies dormant for a few months, it can . . . well, 'turn off' and take a couple days or GM intervention to get it working again.

Quote:Wow, that IS sad. Of course, when I used to get up early on Sunday mornings to hunt badges in Recluse's Victory while it was empty, that was just common sense.Originally Posted by Voidstalker
Anyway, I got up a bit earlier than I need to this morning so I could log on to do some invention badges (yes, I am that sad),

Quote:That's just the way it is. This industry suffers from rampant credit card fraud. Supposedly, a big factor is RMT companies illegally using credit card info that people give them to buy game currency. I have no idea if that's true.Originally Posted by General_CoH
Lots of stuff can trigger it. Problem is you never know what the problem is, and they won't tell you.
Same thing with computer parts. The first major purchase I made from NewEgg, I had to jump through lots of hoops. Once everything was verified (they actually called the credit card issuer to confirm the phone number where they reached me appears on file), it has been smooth sailing ever since. -
Quote:Yes, they do. That's how my badge hunter, who was already a level 50 hero before Going Rogue launched, got all the villain-side mission badges.Originally Posted by artphobia
yet I was wondering if there was ever going to be a solve for letting heroes/villains get the Accomplishment Badges they missed? Such as Agent, or Pwnz. I mean can play those missions but yet they dont award the badges that some of us missed...
Yep. Specifically, it means you have the SOUVENIR for that arc. There are a handful of arcs that are bugged and don't award the souvenir. These arcs will never get the star next to them (until it gets fixed).Quote:Originally Posted by artphobia
Okay different question why do some have stars with a yellow title? That just mean the arcs I have completed at one point or time? -
Quote:This issue, yes. It lists the last zone you were logged into, not the current location of the specific character. I felt this was so trivial I didn't even bother bugging it. It will get fixed some day.Originally Posted by AnimeWarrior252
It shows, when I click on one of my created characters, that is a hero, that it is in a red-side city, or a villain, is in a part of Paragon City!
I have not bought any character slots since Freedom launched. -
This week we have another SF that tops out at 40 - Mortimer Kal. This is one of the newest TFs/SFs. This SF grants a temporary (?) power called The Flames of Prometheus. It's a minor buff but, once you hit 50, you can trade it in for a Notice of the Well. So it's not very temporary at all. You can benefit from it for 30 levels and you can actually keep it indefinitely - it just doesn't buff you any more once you hit 50.
Mortimer Kal SF
Saturday, October 8 at 1PM EDT
Level 20+
Requires 4 players.
Contact is in Sharkhead Isle
1. Ironblade - probably Ironblade since I'm not sure I have the contact unlocked with anyone else.
2. Errant - something with a high coefficient of faceplant
3. Elllls - Atavism
4.
5. Doctor A Science - blaster
6. Sir Thorn - Timm Gunn - blaster
7. AngelicaVenger - Skittlebot, perhaps
8. Sorak - Sorak -

I just hope that 200MB patches aren't going to be a weekly thing to add new game assets that can be bought at the store.
