The announcement of Freedom was the death-knell to the scintilla of hope that Paragon would ever offer Lifetime subs.
Looking at how much we'll get for our sub going forward, I'm cool with that, however. -

(though I am up for a new veteran slot at the end of August... I kind of am hoping I21 doesn't hit before then, though that seems rather evil). -
Stephenson, Mieville, A Song of Fire and Ice, Dune
That pretty much took up all my votes. -
Hey now, who's excited about Isos tonight? Woohoo! Yeah!
-
Trials happened.

Quote:Didn't notice that... that is indeed huge. I wonder if we can use existing extra slot credits to go over the 36 limit, or we have to buy them separately.Originally Posted by Madame Pistacio
Oh and 48 slots per server... (well up to) that's a BIG deal!
-
I notice they took the Power costs out... I thought they were going to be 800 points. Price increases already?

So, there are no new worlds to conquer?
Heh, an unfortunate side-effect of this effort is I've developed a taste for Raiding. I used to not care that most of my (20 or so) 50s just had the Alpa, but now I want to unlock them ALL!
That being said, at least I can resume Isos now... that's still running, right? -
Yeah, that's a side-benefit of Super Raid Grindin'... my Blaster is T4ed out, my Warshade is T3ed out, and the OG MG is working on unlocking Lore. I also have some progress on my Widow, and she might be the most fun to run with... defense really shines in Raids, from what I've seen.

I have no idea what that means because I've only finished the first book, but I am excited by this.
If they commit it to video then they will have shown good faith in not shying away from expensive set piece scenes. -
After more than a month of constant raiding, I have finally unlocked every Costume Piece, Incarnate Armor Piece, Radiant Incarnate Armor Piece, Aura, Trail Aura, Costume Change Emote, and regular Emote that you can buy with Astral or Empyrean Merits. Whew!
Now that I'm done, I look forward to never having to raid like that again, becase the devs would never tie that many items to in-game merits when we have the shiny new Paragon Store to pump points and real cash into.
Thanks to everyone who raided with me this past month. -
This thread has taken an ugly turn.
I assume that women wear clothes that they think are comfortable and/or they look good in. This doesn't imply any consent to being ogled, by men or women.
Is this a difficult concept? -

They left the snakes in only for badge reasons.

Quote:I thought I heard that Time Manipulation, Beam Rifle, and Street Justice would all be available at I21 launch, and that Titan weapons would be after. I don't have a source, though, so I could be wrong.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
I was being a little facetious when I said I'd be angry if StJ wasn't available on day one, because I'm pretty sure it won't be.
I do think that Paragon Studios is going to want to soak up as much of the extra points we've built up as current subscribers on opening day, however. Giving us two Premium sets, as well as a the Circle of Thorns costume set and whatever else they have in store is a good way to do that. -
One word: HUZZAH!

Quote:The PC Gamer article mentioned that a CoT set would be a for-pay set available in the store.Originally Posted by Ice_Wall
So we WILL be getting those new CoT pieces!

Quote:Two Triple Events... aw hell, let's make it Tripe Triple Events.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
We need a tripple XP event to compensate for the delay.
-
That... sucks. I might not be available for that weekend.
-
It's that time of year again!
So are everyone's plans for DXP weekend?
I have two Defenders, one at 42, and one at 40... I'd love to 50 both out, but we'll see if I can manage that. -
Quote:How did you describe it?Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
If staff melee isn't done the way I described years ago, it's not worth doing at all
-
Thanks for collecting this under one post, Ele.
Angel is right, Staff Melee is essential to this game. While I may or may not have seen the video in question, I wish they had showed it in combat, as opposed to just demonstrating the moves. -
Quote:I support this suggestion.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Personally, I'd be happy with getting an equivalent amount of Paragon Points to what I spent to buy Going Rogue. What was that, by the way? $20? Isn't that something like 1600 Points?

Quote:Everyone who is a VIP and has Going Rogue.Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
It's in the video and looks cool, but it screams "if you're tired of caves, you'll hate this too". While I don't think it's Praet only, and maybe I'm mixing with the Praet Hamidon being Praet only(?), the trial is open to everyone, right?
That makes no sense.Quote:I had read/heard that something coming in I21 was NOT going to be open to non-Praet characters and I kind of shook my head in disappointment.
