Quote:It would require coding to suppress the normal flyposes and attack animations and replace them with standing animations only when Flight interacts with the platform toggle. That may not be an insignificant amount of work.Originally Posted by Blue_Centurion
It will not require any extra coding, other than adding it to the tailor as an extra item. it is a special effect to hover/fly only. -
Quote:I /bugged every typo, misspelling, grammatical error and awkward construction I found during the Going Rogue beta. It ended up being several dozen, and I didn't even do all of the story arcs. None of them was fixed by the time GR hit Live. I think they're still there.Originally Posted by all_hell
LOL
I decided a while back to do all of the ouro arcs on a single toon. So I did. I read all of the text and dialog along the way. I sent in a bug report for each typo I found. I sent in quite a few.
I have not kept track or checked to see if any of them were fixed.
I got an invite to the next beta after that. -

No, that's not true - any VIP/subscriber automatically has full chat/email/channel access.

Quote:The one thing that bothers me here is that a player who decides to make the jump to VIP and purchases $45 worth of game time still won't have access to global chat until the time is up, while a player who sticks to Premium and buys the same dollar value worth of points will have full access right away. In this situation, the VIP is at a disadvantage.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Tier 3 Premium and above ($45+) - Completely acceptable that they get access to tells, broadcast, super groups, global tells or global channels. I call this group premiums.
I really hope the devs get the whole token thing sorted out soon. -

The one that got me this morning was refridgerator, also from the new SSA arc. And yes, it was italicized, making it stand out even more. I twitched a bit...
Please consider hiring a copy editor. Or at least make corrections when people /bug the mistakes for you. -
Quote:Contact Support. I had a similar problem with my Premium account, where I had multiple unlocked, empty slots instead of unlock tokens. I had to go round with the GMs for two or three weeks, but they finally found that there was a potential issue with how slots were locking/unlocking when transitioning. My account was then granted the correct number of unlock tokens.Originally Posted by Lithraman
Now she has access to nothing only four slots to make new characters. She is to say, upset, She is not expecting full access but for the things we have paid for she should have access as we spent real money for items that she can not longer use. And this global vs Server she would not even be upset if the four server slots would allow her to open even the basic brute she has as well as her mm as she is now above Tier 5 and according to the info that unlocks the mm.

Quote:Clarification per Posi:Originally Posted by kusanagi
Question - can you get the reward table once per week per SSA, or once per week for any SSA?
Quote:Originally Posted by Positron
To clarify the rewards on the SSA's.
There is a "First Time Played" reward, that is independent of the 1-week cooldown. Thus when you first play an SSA, it will seem like you can get two rewards. In the following weeks it will only be one.
All SSA's share the same week-long cooldown, so when you have SSA 1.1 and SSA 1.2 and SSA 1.3, you can only get one week-long cooldown reward, not one for each.
The above is the reason for the "First Time Played" reward. A player who starts playing SSAs in the middle or the end of the arc isn't gated by the week-long cooldowns. They can play each SSA and get the good reward table every time. Only after they have done the "First Time" will they be gated further by the week-long cooldown. -
Quote:When I think of strong female role models from TV and movies, I always think of Zoe from Firefly/Serenity. She's tough, competent, loyal and cool under pressure. She's also, IMO, a rare example of a woman who's shown as sexual and attractive without being sexualized. One episode of the TV series even has her, in a reversal of traditional gender roles, rescue her husband from captivity.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
My problem with female characters in action movies is they're baggage, at least more often than not. They don't contribute anything, they pose a liability and they're the effective equivalent of a very heavy duffel bag, weighing down the much more competent hero. So long as a female character proves she's competent at at least ONE thing that someone else couldn't have simply gotten up and done better and she doesn't spend the rest of the story being useless... Eh, I wouldn't complain
Granted, ensemble projects are quite different from media where there's a lead character of some kind, but the example shows that it's at least possible to create a well-rounded, attractive and likeable female character who isn't just a living blowup doll or a helpless princess in a castle. -

And actually simply buying $5 worth of points (400) will give you a token. Unclear if those 400 count toward the 1200 for another token or not.You're both talking about the same token; the $5 token *is* the first-time token, as it doesn't reach the 1200 point threshhold for standard token grants. The first-time purchase applies regardless of how much money is spent. That $5 will count toward your running total, however - so, as SailorET said, an additional $10 purchase will grant another token.Quote:Originally Posted by SailorET
You also get one free token the first time you buy any points. Another $10 will net you an additional token.

Quote:OED says data, with a short A, is also correct. After all, it wasn't pronounced DAY-tuh in Latin.Originally Posted by Healix
The word "data" is pronounced DAY-tuh, from the latin derivative, plural, datum.
My current personal peeve? "Sneak peak." It's not a stealthy mountain, people!

I was monitoring the Help channel last night, and had trouble answering one player: (S)he was playing a Praetorian (still under level 20, so no access to Paragon/RI) and wanted to know if it was possible to change the character's height or gender. "You can purchase the Super Tailor in the Paragon Market," I replied.
The thing is - the player had already bought it. And still had no access to a Cosmetic Surgeon in order to actually use the power. The one tailor in Imperial City, Rita Mayfair, is a standard tailor, not a Cosmetic Surgeon. Any Icon or Facemaker is obviously out for a low-level Praetorian. Same with the tailor in the RWZ. A Praetorian character *can* get to Pocket D - but Trina is walled off inside the Tiki Room unless you have a Pocket D Gold Card.
I'd like for Praetorian characters to have access to at least one Cosmetic Surgeon. It seems unfair to charge players for the Super Tailor, only for them to be told, "Thanks for the cash, but you can't use it yet on this character. Go level some more."
Options for access include 1) Upgrading Rita Mayfair to a Cosmetic Surgeon; 2) Adding another tailor with Cosmetic Surgeon capabilities somewhere else in Praetoria; 3 and 4) Opening the Tiki Room to the general public, or alternately moving Trina somewhere else in Pocket D that isn't gated.
Thoughts? -

Second, don't game cards work? I thought they did. Find out first, of course, but you could just send your friend a game card or the numbers from a game card.

On red side, the contact is a CoT ghost named Alastor. I forget which zone he's in as I don't play red side that much and have only done his arc once.

Quote:The 2 merits isn't part of the bonus reward table, though. It's the end-of-arc reward, which does not appear to be gated, simply bugged.Originally Posted by bpphantom
However, as they said during the UStream: The bonus reward is for doing ANY of the SSA's that week. Once all 7 are out for the current story you only get the weekly reward once. Not once per mini-arc.

Quote:The first time reward is per arc, so you could theoretically get 7 A-merits if you did them all one right after the other. This is separate from the once-per-week reward, which can only be granted for any single arc out of the entire series. So you could run just one of the 7 arcs a second time that week and still get one additional reward, but any other arcs run that same week would not grant the reward.Originally Posted by rsclark
Is the first time award per mission or just the first time you do any one of them?
Edit:
We've been told that future arcs in the series will ramp up in level. While we have no specifics at this time, some players are speculating that they will go up in 5-level increments, so the next arc would cap at 25. -

Quote:I had assumed that was the case, but Support is telling me that we're not actually supposed to be getting the 2 merits on either side. It certainly wouldn't surprise me to find out that they're wrong again, though.Originally Posted by Photonstorm
Looks like it's bugged.

Quote:I think what The_Spad means is that there is already a gating system in place for TFs - e.g., if you have a character on your team who's under the minimum level for the TF, it won't start at all. So it seems likely that they just added another gate to the existing TF mechanic, where if you have a player on your team who hasn't paid for the arc it won't let you start.Originally Posted by St_Angelius
Oh, i know that, and when you start you get the TF/Ouro arc TF window and you "agree to form task force" but like ouro arcs it isn't a TF. And it don't really answer the original question.

Quote:Villain players do not appear to have been receiving the 2 merit end-of-arc reward. After petitioning about the lost redside merits (and rounds of back-and-forth emails), I've just been informed by Support that it's not that the v-side reward merits are missing, it's that the hero SSA should never have been awarding them in the first place.Originally Posted by SilverAgeFan
The other thing that threw me, I expected the 4x Reward Merits to simply award 4x the base reward merits you receive for the arc itself: 2. When I got 20 for that selection, I thought I might have found a bug. But nope. It's 4x the 5 merits which is the repeatable reward.
So while the lack of reward parity between sides is not by design, only the devs can do something about it - whether that means adding the reward redside or removing it blueside. -
Quote:Just to clarify, there is a "First time running this particular SSA" reward in addition to an "Any single SSA every seven days" reward. When Part 2 comes out, you'll be able to get the "First Time" reward for it, but you won't get the "Any single SSA" reward if you've already run Part 1 any time in that past week.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
(actually, the very first time you do it, it apparently doesn't start the timer, so you could run it back to back and get 2 hero merits immediately)

Keep in mind that it looks like if you want to pay base rent, you'll have to do it on a VIP character. Using the Premium account to invite alts should work fine though, as long as the character has SG permissions.

My second account, which lapsed to Premium, has between 4-5 years of vet status. Going Rogue was applied to the account when it released, and the account was also active during Issue 12. I should have between 8 and 11 global unlocks to use on my characters.
What I have instead is 5 global unlock tokens and 5 unlocked, empty slots on Virtue. Apparently the empty slots I had in reserve got unlocks applied to them automatically when the system transitioned over to the CoH:Freedom model.
Needless to say, I'm a bit miffed. We were told we'd be able to choose where to apply unlock tokens, and I was looking forward to unlocking some of my old characters. I have no use for the empty slots right now, as I'm not planning to roll up a new toon.
Unfortunately, support is telling me they can't help; they're saying that I unlocked the slots manually, so tough noogies. Which is false: I haven't even used the unlock tokens that the game is showing I *do* have - because I didn't want to fiddle with things and make them even harder to fix. I have to wonder if they're looking at when I opened the slots originally - like 2 years ago - and completely ignoring the whole lock/unlock thing.
Has anyone else had this happen? Is this, in fact, working as intended? Because if it is, it irks me that, had I made throwaway placeholder toons in all my empty slots, they would now *all* be locked correctly and I would have been able to apply my unlocks as I wanted.
On the upside, my roommate made homemade pizza tonight, so at least there's that. Yum. -
Quote:Clarification needed here. I was under the impression that the devs had told us that content, rather than zones, would be gated. If this is true, then a Premium character would still have access to First Ward itself, but would be unable to access any of the contacts/arcs there. Has anyone tested to see if this is the case?Originally Posted by Aggelakis
You will lose access to First Ward.

Quote:I'm having the opposite problem. My second account has 4+ years of vet rewards as well as Going Rogue and I'm only showing 5 global unlocks available.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
4: I have no idea why kelciann has 4 slot tokens. She should have 2 slot tokens at most.
