    Yes, or more importantly the last mission in the Hero's Hero arc.

    Given past badge changes of this sort:
    You'll keep the Statesman's Pal badge, but you'll have to redo the Hero's Epic arc to get the Positron's Pal badge.

    I appreciate the feedback you’ve all been given here and on the beta forums. I’ve just made the following changes:
    Sounds good, even though I know this means that I'll have to run Maria's arc again on my badge character.

    Send in a support ticket. Don't put it off.

    As this is a billing issue, the only group that can help you is the Customer Support team.

    The parts are still being updated. I would think that more pictures will come when Issue 23 gets closer.

    Samuel, think of it this way:

    For the first few years, we the players were looking up to the NPCs for examples of Heroes and Villains.

    From Issue 18 to 22, we're getting to the level that we're equal to the NPC heroes & Villains.

    From this point on, we're becoming more of the focus of the story instead of being the sidekicks of the stories.

    Sister Psyche's ouro task force should award Sister Psyche's Comrade, and Penelope's task force should award Penelope's Friend, and *BOTH* Sister Psyche -and- Penelope should count toward TFC. Having either one should count as credit for that unlock. (Having both shouldn't do anything extra, mind.)
    I completely agree with the above statement.

    Statesman's Pal is not required for any accolade. Not one.

    Sister Psyche's Comrade on the other hand is required for TF Commander. Yes, it is possible to add equal requirements for badges (ie. making TF Commander require either Sister Psyche's Comrade or the yin badge), but that requires a bit of coding time.

Removing the Statesman of the "here and now" is one thing. He died because Black Pebble suggested it and Dr. Aeon wants to kill off every major NPC in the game (except for his character).
    Corrected for accuracy.

    I doubt that it would be in 10 days. There is too much to do yet.

    I actually doubt that we've actually seen everything Issue 23 will have yet in the beta.

    The point is that if you were here for 7-8 years, there is a good chance that you would have the loyalty pack (if you subscribed, not gone F2P).

    This is what I did, and I got the rewards. Seems simple enough.

    Personally, I don't see it is fair that just because I didn't blow hundreds of dollars on points to move up the tree or subscribe like 3 years earlier I will have to spend money on these items that other VIPs didn't have to. This sounded so much less entitled in my head...
    While I can understand why you'd want these, I do disagree with those suggesting that this shouldn't be a Tier 9 VIP reward.

    I've subscribed since 2005. I think that if you want the set, you will have choices to make: Subscribe, buy up the tree (which I disagree with to an extent), or wait for the undisclosed future means of getting the parts.

    Oh, and I'll probably have to wait for a month or two to get the complete set because I don't have any spare Paragon Tokens at the moment, and I don't think I'll be buying points any time soon.

    No, it is like being told that if you shop at the store every day for 6 months, that you get a loyalty reward. It did not matter if you have been shopping at the store on and off for 7-8 years, only if you shopped every day during the promotional period.

    The faulty reasoning you are trying to apply is completely self-serving nonsense.

    Hate to break this to you, but the previous loyalty program (7 years of Super Rewards) was pretty much the same deal. Only this one had even more heads-up to players than the last one.

    Seven Years of Super Rewards
    City of Heroes is about to celebrate its 7th year of super-powered adventures, and it wouldn't have been possible without the support and loyalty of our players. So this year we're offering a special bonus to our current customers.
    All City of Heroes® players who maintain an active, uninterrupted account for the time period beginning February 1st, 2011 (12:01 a.m. EST / 5:01 a.m. GMT) and ending April 18th, 2011 (11:59 p.m. EST / 4:59 a.m. GMT) will receive a set of special rewards for their loyalty to Paragon City™ The Rogue Isles,™ or Praetoria™.
    As you can see, this isn't the first time a loyalty program ran this way.

    Yes, because it you have already made up your mind based on faulty reasoning and aren't willing to be wrong.

    Thank you
    Contact Customer Support, either in game or on the website.

    A fix was recently implemented so that for most VIP customers, Paragon Points should now be consistently awarded on your billing date. However, this fix may not apply in all cases, particularly if you were experiencing issues early on during the Freedom launch.

    If you're still finding that the day you receive your stipend seems to be changing, please contact customer service, as they should now be able to permanently correct it for you.
    Thanks for the update.

    It doesn't explain the rationale for not awarding the monthly Paragon Reward Tokens on the same date however.

    It also doesn't explain the rationale for awarding the server transfer tokens on the 1st of the month either.

    If your account wasn't actively subscribed from the entire time December 1st, 2011 to March 31, you don't get the promotional items. If your account lapsed for less than 24 hours, but have subscribed otherwise during between those dates, you get the promotional items.

    If you let your account lapse for the month of December, but resubscribed in January, you don't get the promotional items. The only person to blame for this is yourself, not the company.

    By the way, Free to Play for this game was released in September 2011, not January 2012.

    From images in the beta section, they are fixed wings that fold when not in use.

    Yes, the first picture is an attempt at a Gundam.

    Yes, the second picture looks close to the EVA 02.

    The 3rd one looks like it came from a Sentai Force/ Power Rangers show.

    Moving forward, and ClockworkO1 can confirm this or correct me, all sword like objects will be built on the Titan Weapons measurements. This allows them to be easily scaled for use with all Sword types.
    He did confirm this... in the beta thread you removed. Also, the pictures he posted were better at giving some details of how the pieces looked.

    I think being billed for the game should include a direct download from the company. I also think that the company shouldn't use my bandwidth cap to pay for services that they should be providing itself as a part of my subscription money. In effect by using a mandatory P2P service, they would be double billing me.

    The ITF Bugged

We got a mission complete and left the mission and then.............. IT repeated itself. We petitioned the GMs again and decided rather than standing around we'd begin the mission again. This time we went and took out Requeim, Romulus and the controller first and worked our way back taking out generals .. the GMs arrived as we were taking on the final general on the bridge. Still unsure if they assisted us or if we just got lucky the second time but we did finally get the fnal mission.
    Did someone quit the ITF either during the mission or just before the mission? If so, that is a long standing bug.

Actually no one seemed to care about that anyway. it was just another EB we al got to defeat for added XP and INF. I would imagine the serious RPers would question how Rommi managed to heal and get back into action so quickly in Mission 3 where we actually battled him three times
    Ever since Issue 22 and the new DA arcs the EB version of Rommy has the chance to spawn. This is likely related to the bug that allows Shadow Cysts to spawn in missions that are affected by "Kheld Stink".
