Atta's much easier than this one.

It's the same map, yeah, but Atta's always in the same spot and his guards are always in the same route to him.

Hector's generals? Haha, good luck finding them.

Technically, it is a matter of coding preventing them from completely eliminating redraw.

Before he was let go, BAB was working on doing just that. His efforts unfortunately ran into a major issue which he did not elaborate on, but implied that it severely broke many things and that proceeding along that path would be very bad.

The other way to get rid of redraw would be to make alternate, weapon-out animations for EVERY animation. Which would basically be like completely remaking the game. This is a viable option in the "Yes, it can be done," way, but is also very non-viable in the "No, it can't be done any time soon," way.


Isn't that what I said?

Also, the "delay" was always there in the original animations. It was just being eaten up by the redraw animation. Under the old animations, redrawing the weapon for every single attack had the exact same DPS as not doing so.

The new animations mean doing that sort of thing would be a major strike on your DPS.

I think you are misunderstanding the responses.

How about another comparison? Hamburgers.

I like hamburgers. I'm willing to be a lot of posters here do. And then the burger joints added on cheese and bacon. Mmm... bacon cheeseburgers...

Does a bacon cheeseburger cost more than a regular burger? Uh, yeah. It's a bacon cheeseburger.

They added in a whole new side, 5 new ATs and a bunch of new power sets once. It wasn't free then.

In response, bacon cheeseburgers.

As luck would have it, you are.

You didn't get everything for free before. You're not getting everything for free now.

It's not a PBAoE.

It's a Targeted AoE with a short range.



EDIT: For absolute clarity, it's a Targeted AoE with a range of 7'. It's AoE is 6' radius.

Reality is oft claimed as being unrealistic.

Stupid reality.

As an approximation, it's a very bad one. You're including a lot of unnecessary information that a newbie would not know.

As a newbie, you wouldn't know about Veteran Rewards, Vet Badges, Claiming the reward in your Badge menu, etc. All a newbie would know is that you get a Reward Token for subscribing and/or paying X dollars in the store. Which is all you really need to know.


However, to address the rest of this information you're getting hung up on:
No they didn't. Veteran Badges only come with 1 (one) actual badge. The other markers were just to claim the rewards. They were not badges.


You're not purchasing so much as unlocking. PR claims are global and affect all your characters. Even the ones you haven't made yet. It's like claiming them from your badge menu for everyone at the same time.


No they are not.
Reward Tokens are used ONLY in the Paragon Rewards program. They are not used for the in-game market (Wents/Black Market) which uses INF nor the Market which uses real-world currency.


The Paragon Rewards Program will be displayed on your screen immediately once you get in game. You can choose to hide it afterwards from the Game Options menu.


As a VIP, you'll already have access to almost everything the Paragon Rewards Tier Bonuses will grant. The major benefit is for if/when you decide to go Premium and stop paying for your VIP access.

Not really. It's pretty simple.
Step 1: You get 1 (one) Reward Token for every Veteran Badge you currently have.

Step 2: You get 1 (one) Reward Token for every month subscribed from here on out AND 1 (one) for every year subscribed from here on out.

Step 3: Apply those Tokens in-game to the Paragon Rewards. As you fill each "tier" (which range in size from 1 up to, I think, 7) you will also get certain bonuses. For example, filling tier 5 unlocks Controllers and Masterminds permanently for your account.

And that's it.

Currently, you can have 5 via getting access to one at levels 20, 30 and 40 as well as one via Halloween event salvage.

Once Freedom goes live, you will be able to purchase an additional 5 costume slots for a grand total of 10.

Merge the dead servers! They they can be double dead!

Keyword was "every".

Just because references exist (and nobody's saying they don't) doesn't mean EVERYTHING is a reference.

Which was the entire point of what LL said.

Tiers are "levels" of Paragon Rewards. Once you fill one tier, you can start filling the next one with your Paragon Reward Tokens.

From the Paragon Rewards description page:
Tier 9 is the top tiers which is separated into two "levels"


"Normal" tier 9: re-claimable rewards like Windfalls, XP Boosters, Enhancement Boosters, Unslotters, etc.

and

Tier 9 VIP: Costume parts and/or other as-yet-unknown single purchase rewards


Currently, the Celestial Armor costume parts and aura is the tier 9 VIP reward.

As a new player would not have access to any of that for some time... I'd say they wouldn't even bother to care about it, let alone be confused by it.

Also, tiers are not currency.

You do realize a "recoiless rifle" is almost nothing like a conventional rifle and is more akin to a rocket launcher, yes?

The new tutorial is more epic. It does not make you more epic.

These two notions are not mutually exclusive.

"Spacetime Dilator Transmitter System"

Took a lot of digging to finally find a spot where it was fully spelled out. Take that however you will.

This I agree with. It's much more flexible and therefore open to different styles.

The DB system requires more finesse which is probably why its effects are more pronounced rather than StJ's more robust and mundane effects. But that's neither here nor there.

Minor quibble:

Build Up in Street Justice (which is only available for Stalkers) does NOT give 3 Combo Points. It just gives +DMG and +ToHit like all the other versions of Build Up.

Combat Readiness (which is in the version of Street Justice available to Scrappers, Brutes and Tankers) DOES give 3 Combo Points as well as a minor bit of +DMG and +ToHit, albeit not as much as BU.
