Hi guys, not played in about 6 months and it's suddenly changed to Free2Play lol. I've upgraded to ViP as i cannot go without all my character slots and stuff, but i have loads of add-on packs plus all the games i bought, just wondering if they count for nothing now :s
Is it basically the same as before except it has free users? i know you've probably been asked this loads of times before but i'm feeling a little lost at the moment, thought i'd ask while the 'parts' are downloading, which to me is weird in itself.
If you bought a booster before, you have access to it still. Those who did not buy the booster before do not have access to it unless they buy it on the paragon market.
Going Rogue is free to VIPs, but if you had it you got 2 bonus slots that are not part of the "Free" going rogue, and you do not have to buy the GR powersets if you unsub and go to "Premium" (has given NCSoft money via that account) play. -
It must be the name reservation feature of the character creator. I used my free transfer recently and had no rename offered, and the name of the character was not changed.

There is NO reason though either the range of sweep cant be made 10' or the arc 90% and the cap raised to 10.
As far as I know, nothing purchasable by Paragon Points is transferable off your account.Quote:Originally Posted by TriAngel_EU
Issue is also it can be done with things not like this.
I mean, the powerset is something that's easily identified on your account, they could in theory relock it.
But with the same PP you can buy things you can sell again on the in-game market like recipes. When you sell that the product you bought with PP is gone and nobody is gonna make an effort to tranceback what you did with it and what they need to retrieve.
For this reason all chargebacks are handled the same which is indeed banning/account locking/whatever you wanna call it.
Paypal is the only case I know of (for sure) that an account closed due to chargeback has ever been re-opened.I know we've rooted for people that, for various reasons, have had chargebacks initiated against their sub without meaning to (mistaking the charge for another company; spouse not realizing who NCSoft is), but I don't know if any of them ever got their accounts unlockedQuote:Originally Posted by Lothic
It's not hearsay - it ACTUALLY happened to me a couple of years ago.
Long story short: I tried to use Paypal to pay for a Booster Pack while I was on a long overseas business trip. Paypal got excited and decided that overseas purchase was suspicious and decided unilaterally to charge back my money in order to "protect" me. Before I knew it NCsoft locked my account because from their point of view I tried to pull my money back from them. It took a better part of a week to get my account unlocked.
So yes it can and will happen.
And looking at those links to UK law... I see at best a 50/50 chance it would support a refund in this (if said laws applied) especially as you don't buy anything other than access (technically), but I could be wrong.
Tried going on test, but there is, apparently no account server there or it's down right now so couldn't check how the market acts on Test. -

I saw emotes but they're not there anymore. /collapse and /swoon if I remember. I finally hit 50 and got some merits but now they're not at the vendors in Ouroboros anymore.
Also, make sure you don't have any "Hide" options selected. -
Yeah, since the GvE discs, for one, would have the old updater - grab from the website.

Quote:To clarify - it greys out the villain power, but auto-grants you the hero version, so you will have to swap them out in your trays/binds.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
If you switch sides, you get the other side's version of that accolade. You keep the power.
This means you can look at the accolades and decide which ones are easier to get on heroside and which ones are easier to get on villainside, and get the villainside ones before you switch and the hero ones after. -
Quote:The contact stores were only tied to origin in their goods sold and backstory. You could and still can unlock all of them on the same store.Originally Posted by General_CoH
The high level stores are contacts specific to the origin. (At least that was the way it was. Haven't gotten a char to high level for a while.) With IO's that not really that important.

Quote:Because design diaries don't talk about /how/ you get what they are talking about unless it's connected to something ingame? When they talked about the GR powersets they (as I recall, and stuck at work) didn't go and mention "Yours if you buy GR for $XX.XX!" - they at most mentioned being part of Going Rogue.Originally Posted by MidNite
an i wonder why you even have to pay for a power set that should be free? an 800 on top of that?
...
where there isn't anything here http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/about_..._power_set.php that says you have to pay for the power set to begin with .I think the devs are on crack to put anything in there for more than 50 points,
As far as it not being "free" - with the bells and whistles they gave this set, it would not of been made (for some time yet, at least) without it being something charged for.
I will say they could mention it's available in the Paragon Market. -
Quote:And they did continue the giant robot naming scheme with that (although it kinda broke down sounding right at 4...)Originally Posted by Lothic
I'm quite sure that's exactly what they were going for when they chose that name.
The Japanese are fairly funny when it comes to using English in novel ways.

I was able to delete and transfer characters with the same name no problem earlier.

Other than your starting power and origin enhancements, what does your hero's origin affect?
There are also a very few (only one off the top of my head) temp powers that work differently for some origins. Villain side there is a "Magic Box" (or such) temp power that summons a Tar Patch unless you're magic origin, in which case it summons a Wailer Queen (or maybe King) -
Quote:Can't recall if that last bit was a (paraphrase) of Posi's words, or VK's summation, but from what I recall of the feeling was "We're doing what we can, only VB can speed it up more" kinda thing.Originally Posted by Aluminum_Dave
This is probably one of the posts(from the 22 Sept Ustream Dev Chat) that gives people the impression that you guys are "passing the buck":
Since many of us don't watch the Ustream and Von Krieger seems to be one of the few putting in a lot of work(Thanks VK!) giving us notes on it the impression kinda sticks.
I'm not saying his translation is 100% from Dev speak, but I wouldn't think he would be that far off as to be completely wrong. -

Not that it's any protection, but the VG has existed since CoV head-start. We've got almost 6 years of precedent going.
Another interesting bugged thing: The prestige column alone of the sg roster adds up to way, way more than 300K.
And the rules don't care about how long you've had a name when it violates the TOS/EULA -
How often/close together does it tend to reboot?
Are you able to find the CPU temp? (Either through the BIOS or via a hardware monitoring program) -

Nowadays it's not uncommon for credit companies to use software to track customer buying habits, which then trigger alarms when unusual activity goes through.
Actually had one customer have issues because his wife used the card over the phone upstate, then a few minutes later he tried to get gas

I've the HD 6870, running the just released 11.9 drivers and it's been working great for me. So if you get an and, when it retries to install drivers, skip whatever it wants and go right to www.amd.com.

Quote:That is an incorrect assumption. Or maybe "false correlation" would be better. Even auto-hit attacks are supposed to show a to-hit entry if it affects you. The fact that this is not (it would be along the lines of "Mental Scramble was autohit") is a bug. Please report it. Also throw in a line "this seems to be auto-hit, should it be?"Originally Posted by Obitus
Mental Scramble doesn't even appear in the combat log. There is no ToHit roll. -

You need a minimum of Five tokens to fully unlock chat for non-paying customers.
First token is for having an account.
Buying 1200/$15 worth of points (tracks over time, don't have to buy at once) gets you a token.
Subbing for a Month gets you a token (Currently bugged, in that it is supposed to award upfront all at once for a subbed period, currently awards 1 a month at the end of the month)
There are also two more one-off ways to get tokens.
A bonus token is awarded for having one or more "box" codes on your account.
The first time you buy points, any amount.
Your friend without broadcast, if he ever bought a "box" (from a store, or one of the full account creating editions from NCSoft's store or Steam) already has that bonus token. But if he created the account from one of the old "Don't need to a buy a box" codes (pre-2007 friend code has a chance at being this), he doesn't. -
As mentioned, they can see if some form of pre-loaded "Gift card" style credit card is available.

WIn7x64, Sapphire HD 6870, 8GB, i5 quad.
Upgraded either Wednesday or Thursday after seeing this thread.
Only crashes I've had since were related to trying to salvage files off a dying external drive, so not video related. I'd have lockups on CoH prior, and like most everyone else, was on either 11.5 or 11.4 after trying 11.6 and getting the stutter of doom.
Did not driver clean this time, but I did after uninstalling 11.6 prior.

Sounds good. Time to grab and test.

WEll, if you have teammates and other player's names turned off.. them I'm sorry to say, there is no way. Sorry Jim.

KISS it principle.
Namely, the store lets you buy stacks of transfer tokens. As it's something you pay money for, they are not going to have it disappear. THe VIP transfers simply give you one token in this already existing system used by the market.
