Pyroclastic Flower

For reasons that escape me my bank decided that I couldn't afford to pay my sub today even though I have enough funds (just) to cover it. Money goes in tomorrow so with a bit of luck I will be back to VIP status pretty darned quickly.

However because I'm all alone this week consequently having no real reason to get on with things that need doing like eating or sleeping. I was planning on playing today. When I went to log in I was told I had been dropped to premium. Fair enough. After checking my bank details and finding the above I decided I would buy an Inventions License...

Bought it and the Alpha shoulders. However my IOs are still greyed out (some 16 hours after purchase), nor can I use the shoulders. I went back into the store and checked that I did in fact buy them both, and while I don't know for sure, I can't buy them again. Which implies they were bought 1st time round. Also my point total went down.

So does anyone know how long IO License takes to activate? Or indeed if it even works?

What are the odds of being able to get a points refund for the non-working license?

Luckily I have two accounts one paid till Oct 3rd... shame it took me 16 hours to realise it.

Hence why I checked with Hero Stats. Oh well I must just be unlucky.

The Lost Ninja was better.

My immediate thought was that after acquiring a full on dev team (NCNC) they decided to shed the in house team... But obviously it now appears to be more than that.

Sincere thoughts to all those affected, I don't doubt that alot of the people, myself included who are posting in this thread know what it is like to lose a much loved job.

@SingStar
There is often more than money that gets people to do things the do, and while I don't doubt that some or all of the recently unemployed people here will get far better jobs, there is nothing to say that they will get as much pleasure out of them.

On finally after much waiting around and alting achieving two more level 50s.

Pyroclastic Flower (fire/kin/psi) & Polyphemus (Nrg/Dev/Force)

Is Illusion/Force Field viable for PvP and if so can anyone reccomend a build?

Scratch one!

Me not like arena PvP. Sorry.

If you take MoG into RV have fun.

All those Psi PvE mobs that invariably get involved in fights have at least two Psi users and thats not emntioning the reinforcements.

Hah, my Claws/SR (actually on LNs account but ) was created because I was bored with regen and like the anims for claws that came with i7.

Or for that matter BS/SR with Parry...

Okay you'd run out of end fairly quick

OTOH Speaking as a long time Regen I hate SR as long after I'm chewing floorboards its still running around killing things.
