Before the whole Freedom theme was added to the forums whenever i went to the forums after starting up my PC i would generally be logged in even if the odds were pretty good that i would have to log in again in the next couple of hours. Ever since the last round of forum tweaks i have had to log into the forums every single time.

    Having to reset the password yet again was a bonus.
    You didn't have to; I didn't.

    I assumed I couldn't log in because they were moving the account server for the game or something, since no-one at all seemed to be posting anything for a good chunk of today.

    /edit
    ...but the remember me button is borked.
  2. I reckon they added an extra 0 to that price for a laugh!

    I'm not sure I'd even spend 60 points on it, but that's the sort of level it ought to be at.
  3. I'm not sure which is worse in this thread, but the 'OMG what right have you to complain' suck-ups are edging slightly further up my nose than the 'I PAY FOR THIS?!!!!1!' cry babies.

    The geniuses with the maths especially irritate me, theses gems always pop up in threads like this: 'you have a bazillion hours in a week and it's down for a tiny percent of it' along with the 'LOL they owe you $0.000002'.

    The fact is, if you can only play for a couple of hours a day as many of us can and they consistantly put the downtime in that time, then you are losing pretty much ALL of what you are paying for on those days.

    So yeah, some people do have a right to be annoyed by this; they have every right to complain about this and every right to expect Paragon to soothe their ruffled feathers, but the people who play for 12 hours a day moaning about the occasional off-time? I have no sympathy for them.

    I fully accept this work needs to be done and needs to be done in a time-frame that suits Paragon, and by extension the NA player base; but coming on top of recent protracted maintenence that affects the same section of the player base again anad again, the 'STFU' attitude of some of the posters in this thread is just moronic.

    Yeah I meant 'token', although I thought it obvious from the context, sorry.

    But no, you're correct I'd somehow blanked out that single slot at the bottom, I have Tier TWO fully unlocked, with one token yet to spend.

    Mine has just Tier One unlocked with a point to spend.

  8. I've used Dropbox for a while; I got it originally to transfer files to & from my iPad (lots of apps interface directly with it) but I installed it on both my home and office PCs.

    I'm not sure I'm ready to trust any online service as a permanent backup, but I no longer use a USB stick to transfer files between home & work or email files to myself. I don't know how the others services work, but Dropbox syncs a folder across any machine on the same account, so the stuff is actually sitting on my machines as well as the online account.

    I use the free version, I get around 2Gb space on that.

    Good advice in there!

    On my Ice/Rad I generally went with the 'use multiple anchors' approach which does seem to help; but mainly I learnt not to care too much (so long as everything was going well, obviously) and even took to using it as an unspoken 'kill this guy first' instruction....this is when you realise your 'team' are actually just extra pets.

    /edit
    on topic: my Ice/Rad was always in melee range and very happy there; he suffered from end problems as I liked to run both choking cloud & arctic air, but this was before IOs.

    No they don't.

    I quite often switch to the Jump pack mid-air when Steam Jump runs out.

    I got in at 15 and did the very low level arcs I'd bypassed doing sewer trials.

    Thank you again Sir or Madam. Tis greatly appreciated.
    Awesome news, I grabbed Sugar Rush & made sure Cryonic was delivered to the correct hands while I was at it. I'm feeling all nostalgic now!

    Seriously. Never seen AE spam since the changes a way back. The only time you see farmers in AE is when working on an arc and then suddenly 8 Fire/Kin Trollers pop out of the portal one after another. Or Fire Tanks.
    That's because there's never anyone in Atlas!

    Union was full of farming spam (as was Defiant) a few years back (and pre AE it was all 'fill-for-me' PI farms), I'm guessing most dedicated EU farmers have jumped to Freedom.

    I'll see your Peter Cushing (Hammer stalwart and Dr Who impersonator) and raise you an Alec Guinness. Seriously the man was a legend, I'm still amazed they convinced him to play Ben.

    Battlefield Earth would have to win this thread for me, but an honourable mention should go to Alien 3...wow they screwed up with that.
  18. See that look on Scotty's face?

    That's me that is.
  19. I'd rather they stuck two or three branches of Icon in every zone than made trainers into tailors... it really doesn't make sense to me; why would anyone take fashion advice from Ms Liberty? or Swan?

    What's next? A button that opens the tailor window so we don't even have to walk to a trainer? One that opens a training window so you can train up while in a mission?

    Lazy, lazy heroes.

    You could try clicking on the View Full Size link you get when you mouse-over the image...

    I hope so; playing a Praetorian, it was jarring being told I was being sent back to my first day on the job - Outbreak!

    Eco
    Being British has nothing to do with it; It's an in-joke, you just had to be there.

    I vote against it as the server name though...and speaking of such things, what are they going to rename the Freedom server to?

    What?

    You just can't have a server with the same name as the game, that would be just silly.

    Lifetime Sub?

However their subscription would not earn any points on a monthly basis so once they hit the two year mark those who chose to stick with the regular subscription model would surpass them in terms of value for dollars.
    I take it this is off the top of your head and you haven't looked at how *other games* do it?

    Generally, LTS cost around 14 months sub and come with a monthly stipend of points, as though you were on a monthly sub.

    If they did them here, that's how I'd expect them to work, not that I expect them to offer them.
