    ETA: Oh, and since there exists in-game technology to BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE AFTER AN EXPLOSION, I really don't think removing a surgically-installed backpack has any lore-based reason to be irreversible.

    Do you really think that's the real reason? costume slots aren't tied to powers. See this guys post

    The reason (as far as I understand it) is that Costume slots are not linked to Builds.
    Let me explain:
    Build A = Crab
    Build B = Bane

    If you had a costume selected that did not have the backpack (ie your Bane Costume) but then changed to Build A all your Crab attacks would fire from nowhere.

    If they did implement it so the costume changes based on your Builds power selection you would have to link or lock a Costume Slot to a build (or multiple) something like:
    Costume Slot A = Build 1
    Costume Slot B = Build 2
    Costume Slot C = Build 1, 2, 3
    Costume Slot D = Build 1, 3

    I dont even know if this would be possible?

    Even then it would allow a build change at any location based on your Costume change and currently you can only change builds at the Trainers.
    Unless they still locked Build changes at the Trainers and enforced a Costume change if you current costume is not linked with that Build.

    Seriously, this could keep me from playing at all

    First off if you go free now you lose access to your veat and any other character you have plus access to the servers. How is free to play any worse? answer it's not it's way better.

    Secondly they said in not so many words that vets that have been active for as long as you( if you forums register date is any indication) will probably be able to unlock the locked ATs free of charge.

    edit: found the post about AT unlocks and vet reward

As always, we'll be chatting more about the Paragon Rewards in the coming weeks.
    He didn't mention veats but that could be for a variety of reasons like he forgot or they are farther along the vet reward tree or whatever etc.

    They have said alot of things I suspect that if the premium players revenue equals enough maybe even out paces sub revenue they will start selling incarnate content in their store. That's a big if though.
  5. This sounds pretty cool would love to join. Give me a day or two to come up with an idea to fit the theme and I'll update ya on powers I pick.
  6. anyone have pics of these pieces I tried looking around paragonwiki but couldn't find them. Thxs.

    Heck, do YOU take put downs kindly? I sure don't enjoy it, thanks.
    maybe stop taking what people on a video game forum say whom you've never met so personally and just state your buisness/ideas whatever and move on. No need to respond to everyone just cause they either agree or disagree it's only the devs whom need convincing not fellow posters.

    tldr: grow some thicker skin your life will be alot less stressful overall.
  9. So the sticky thread with AE arcs nothing has been added since like august, 9 months wow. Anyone have anything new for me to try?, preferbly maybe some incarnate type story driven arc thingy.
  10. Any guesses when reactive will be actually fixed? I guess never. Things always seem to get "fixed" instantly when in the players favour but when its not in our favour well look at burn, how long did that take? 4 or 5 years ouch. So if the game last another half decade maybe reactive will work like it's suppose to. LOL XD.

    You know what they say about people who assume........ Neither fire melee nor shield defence get burn.

    anyway sign me up E, Stalker Hunter T 50 crab spider.
  13. Definalty feel ya as pretty much the same thing happened to a friend of mine(he has since bought GR but that's beside the point)

    Maybe I can help, if your on freedom or virtue I could powerlevel a new toon for ya up to the level you got to and hook ya up with like 50 million to help out.

    Anyway let me know and I think your suggestions are good ones.

    I don't know if your being purposelly illiterate or just enjoy putting words in peoples mouths but I never said anything about days or weeks just months here for you to read a second time and hopefully comprehend

And it's good to hear that it's fixed on test but if people like me don't bring it up constantly it will be sluffed into the pile of non-important bugs.

    "not willing to wait MONTHS" being the key part of the quoted statement. If you think months(plural meaning more then one) is a reasonable time frame for a fix to a pack that people payed good money for then well i don't know what to tell you other then your expectations of the Paragon team are a whole heck of a lot lower then mine.

    But anyway, while I wasn't able to test with the iTrials, Beast/Ninja Run and other temp travel powers are now working in PvP zones on Test (while they aren't on Live), so, it's a good bet they're working in iTrials on Test and soon, on Live.

    But I'm not a badger. Dunno if said accolade is suppose to be simple to access or not.
    most accolades conssist of a combination of beating up grey mobs, getting explore badges, doing specific missions usually because a certain foe doesn't appear anywhere else in the game ie the preatorians.

    Hero side they are pretty simple to get all of them(because you can flashback or ex down) I don't see why villains aren't given the same courtesy oh wait "devs hate villains" LOL.

    Signed to the idea
  17. oh one thing I forgot please fix beast/ninja run in the ITrials. I paid good money for them and feel like I'm being penalized for buying a booster pack and not taking pool power travel.
    This is highly irritating and if is not fixed would like a refund(ncsoft credit works too)
  18. 1, please make it so it can hit more then 1 target like other AOEs

    2, make it proc every 5 seconds instead of 10 so still has an advantage over regular procs(it is an incarnate power after all).




    Thanks devs no hard feelings carry on.

I would imagine most people would rather uninstall CoX as opposed to dealing with doing the 2 trials 100 times just to equip one character with Tier 4s, much less 200 repeats.



    Let's not also forget the inf cost of these *upgrades*. Whether it is spending 400 million on one very rare of 1.6 billion for all four, the cost precludes many players from even considering that route. Certainly not if they have multiple level 50's to outfit with these new incarnate abilities.
    Maybe you don't need tier 4 of everything for every character right away? maybe the devs are gonna release more trials which will alleviate doing the same trials for most incarnate progress? maybe the devs are only so many people and can only produce so much content at once? maybe you should not run the same trials repeatedly and then blame the devs on your burnout? maybe most of us don't run the same trial hundreds of times with the same toon while not doing any thing else in between? just maybe......

    seriously stop running the Itrials constantly. run a few go do some other things. Test out some new incarnate power on regular missions/TFs. If you burn out you have only your self to blame.

    I wouldnt unistall COX for the reason you stated but then I'm not the type of person that goes threw the motions for the shiny at the end of the rainbow. And this is coming from someone who quit COX because it didn't have an end game and I was bored. I''ll give you 3 guess what got my sub money back and the first two dont count
  20. Ya i'll join E, ummm think im gonna bring Stalker Hunter T 50 crab spider
  21. Some smallville I've loved other parts hated. I honestly thought it was getting better the last few seasons compared to like 6 and 7.

    They have 2 hours finale and ya I can't argue there has been like next to no storyline development with Darkseid so my hopes are it's gonna be like a movie. It's pretty much the length of a movie and movies get their story out in that time frame so call me an optmist but I'm really lokking forward to the finale. if only for closure.
  22. Say I hit a group with acid arrow now if I hit that same group with acid arrow a second time before it wears off does the minus res stack? Same question for disruption arrow.

    Thxs!
