Thanks for organizing it Placta. A shame we didn't get any of the badges. I truly marvel at peoples' inability to follow even the most basic, freakin' instructions.

And, to fail both Loves a Challenge and Green Stuff on the first freakin' obliteration beam.....sheesh.

Perhaps I need to resign myself to never getting MoKeyes. I'll be back for more futility next week, though.

Two egregious examples of butchering the English language that cheese me off:

1. "I could care less." This makes no sense. Should read as, "I couldn't care less."

2. "It begs the question, why does X do Y?" These people should be strung up. To beg the question is to commit a specific fallacy in logic. It is more commonly known as the circular argument. To beg the question is not intended to literally reference a question. To do this, the correct phrase is "it raises the question."

This thread hasn't seen any chatter. Is this still planned for tomorrow (Sunday)?

Damn your logic!

Interesting. I don`t mind the yellow. What does puzzle me is that the system is voluntary. What`s the point, then?

I'm a seven year vet, but must admit the Paragon Rewards system has been flummoxing my ol' grey matter. I had seven tokens when I21 went live, and have only spent one of them so far (the /vault command was an instant must-buy for me). So, this thread has cleared up a lot of details for me, and I'd like to thank everybody who has posted a reply to the original poster.

I'm still a little confused as to the consumables in the Tier 9 VIP level.

1. If I burn a token in a Tier 9 VIP slot, the costume pieces for that slot are unlocked for all characters, account-wide. Is that correct?

2. If that is correct, are the pieces automatically available in the character creator, or do they need to be claimed in-game first?

3. And, when the Tier 9 VIP slots are rotated to new rewards, I still have the pieces that I unlocked already available through the character creator?

Thanks in advance.

Let me just /sign pretty much everything that's already been said. Putting this thing, price wise, at the same level as Beam Rifle is simply insane. I *might* pay 50 pts for a costume toggle power. Heavy emphasis on *might*.

- The Beam Rifle cost was perfect. Bought without blinking an eye.
- The Rocket Board cost was perfect. Bought without blinking an eye.
- The *SALE* cost for 6x Server Transfer was pretty good. Bought after a few blinks.
- This price for a costume toggle was instantly rejected outright in my mind before I had a chance to blink.

That's a pretty big disparity in my reaction.

In the same vein, I was shocked when I went to see how much unlocking a 6th+ costume slot would be. 800 points! 800? 800. When I can save and load costumes at will to/from my hard drive, this price is just ridiculous. I honestly expected the price to be around 50-100 points or so.

And, there really ought to be something for sale at lower price points. I have 30 points remaining from my shopping spree, and there's nothing (that I could find) at that price point. There should be some miscellaneous flotsam that can be priced down there.

Saw you in the global channels yesterday. Welcome back.

The Doorbuster badge is just for logging into the game during the VIP Head Start period. It's similar, in that regard, to the anniversary badges. Nothing to do with Exalted server (speaking as one who has Doorbuster, but hasn't ventured anywhere near Exalted server).

I don't want to wait....I want it NAO!!!!111oneone
