Like you won't be looking at the store every week for new stuff to film anyway?

If it looks like a large blue box, we are so screwed.

That is interesting, but I guess not surprising when I think about it. Get you hooked on them with the free ones from the Rewards to suck you into buying them in the market.

Well, I was going to link to this post by Ghost Falcon, but Dr_Darkspeed beat me with the reference from todays Facebook Friday. And I remembered it incorrectly, it is additional PPs with bulk purchases. So 1200 would cost $15, but might get you an extra 200 PP, which may be even more encouraging toward bulk purchases, but still makes subscribing a much better deal.

Yes, you only get a Reward Token for buying 1200 PP. But that is what would encourage the bulk purchase. If I only had to buy 800 to go with my 400 free ones, I would obviously be less inclined to purchase the 1200. Which is one reason I bet they will have a bonus amount at the 1200 PP cut off.

And the Reward Tokens don't really give a fractional discount, they give you things you can't purchase in the store at all, whether the Tier 9 consumables, a Nemesis Staff, or the /auction house command. Even those of us starting out at Tier 9 have to decide, do I want that new costume set, or some of the enhancement booster? Wait, if I spend even another $5 a month, I can pick up more stuff with the PPs in the store, plus in 3 months, I can get an extra Reward Token. Of I can spend $15 and get that token right now, plus some extra PP, so I can pick up the the new powersets NOW rather than being patient.

That was from a space based game that recently started letting people walk around. And the price is kind of hidden, with exchanges through 2 different game currencies to get the $70 price. (I thought it was $50, but only read 1 story on it and haven't been online in that game for a month or so. Either way, it was quite outrageous.)

I was unemployed when several of them came out and had to catch up when I got a job. Otherwise that would have been how I handled it also.

Actually, it will encourage buying in bulk. Not bulk items, bulk currency. They have said that while the basic price is 400 PP for $5.00, buying more at once will get you discounts. With each 1200 PP getting you a Reward Token, I will be that you can pick up 1200 PP for say, $12.50 rather than $15.00. Not as good a deal as subscribing, but close.

Never knew about that command, thanks. I obviously don't spend enough time memorizing the slash commands. But it isn't that I want to have every temp power out. I actually only keep out a couple. I just had to laboriously go through and remove each one from the trays, then put all the powers I do want in the right places, like all the teleports in tray 9 on the right side of my screen. The only character I have 5 trays up for is my main, with the original 3, plus one for all of the Accolade powers and the teleporters.

Thanks for the info. It is really sad, I just spent a couple of hours on the wiki working on a PopMenu project and never though to check the command line options there.

My character has his primary as the jacket and secondary as the shirt in the number one slot. I thought they had added that option, because I remember him having a white shirt, but I could be misremembering, it has been a long 7 years. But there is no way to check since if I choose that slot in the tailor, the top just disappears. Or at least it did the last time I tried it a few years ago.

This! After 7 years here, with all the Booster Packs, the temp powers, and Vet powers, I dread doing a respec on my main. The last one I did, all nine trays were filled to overflowing. And the primary and secondary powers were almost the last ones placed in the trays. I spent way more time putting things back where they belonged than I did actually doing the respec. And the worst part is, I messed up on a power pick, and will have to do it all again!

I am assuming you mean in Beta, since the character I created a few days after launch didn't have that particular look. His current costume in slot 1 hasn't changed since they added auras, since I am not sure the parts to recreate it are in the system anymore. And I don't like the looks of the newer suit jackets much.

This sounds like a good idea, but while I know how to pass the command lines to the game, I don't know what they are, especially the ones for display options. Is there a thread around here that has that information?

The original business jacket with a tie was also removed completely. One piece, white shirt, primary color was the jacket and sleeves, secondary was the tie. No overlay. They have added something like it back in, but not quite the same.

They are still going to give out Vet badges, no details on how, when, etc.

36 slots per server. If you are already at that, then you will have to wait for the free transfers every month or purchase some for real money.

I got rid of my Facebook account (well, it took me almost a year to find out how to actually delete it, that part of the site is well hidden) right after they changed their terms of service to say that they owned the copyright to any pictures I uploaded. I know there was an uproar over that and they changed it again, but they continue to make those kinds of changes to their policies, always as quietly as possible to avoid notice. I won't use a service with that kind of attitude toward their users. It is the same reason I no longer have a Twitpic account, and that I do as little business with Walmart as possible.

Yes I could create a fake account to use for stuff like this. But that would require lying to them and agreeing to things I know I am not actually agreeing with. That is a bit too cynical for me.

Yes it is my choice not to sign up for Facebook in order to try and get this emote. And if they never have it available any other way, it will be my choice to not get it at all. And there are other companies that have done the same kind of thing that I have missed out on. But I am also able to tell them I do not appreciate it when they do this stuff, and that it makes me a disappointed customer, so they can have that feedback the next time they do a promotion.

Is that all? Here is my very first character. He made it to level 29 from 27 3 weeks ago. He was created on the first day the game was for sale. There is one other from that period that is level 30, the other 3 or 4 dozen from the pre-Issue 1 era are just getting into their 20s. Well, most of them. But they will get to 50 eventually. Unless they shut off the servers on me first.

Unless that "reasonable shot" is some method that does not include Facebook, then there will never be a time every that wants one will get one.

You probably haven't noticed, but RI is left out of promotions even more often than you are up north. This one is a case in point. You can do it, but they can't. And when you can't enter, neither can they. They have some messed up laws in that state.

And this time they have managed to leave out people that are nominally able to get the code because they are doing it exclusively through Facebook. At least when they are excluding Canadians, Europeans, South Americans, etc., they are doing so because of legal reasons they have no control over.

That's why it's sad.

These are both true statements that I can attest to from personal experience. I can't remember exactly how many hours it took to get my 50 What? You think I should have more than one after 7 years?) to that level, but he dinged when Tyrant fell on the rescue Statesman mission. That was good timing.

It is sad that in over 7 years, that is the first explanation for that I have seen.
