Quote:Ok, somebody could have mentioned that a week ago, would have saved a stack of petitions being filed...Originally Posted by Beastyle
As existing VIP subscribers, when the City of Heroes Freedom™ Head Start began, your game accounts automatically received credit for being active in September, as your first month of having VIP status. Paragon Points were awarded on the date Head Start began, instead of on your monthly billing date.
Going forward from October you will receive your Paragon Points on your game account's billing date as long as you maintain VIP status. -

If they have to pay $5, it'll make it much more costly to spam. And, hell, if they decide to do it, at least Paragon will get some free money to make more stuff from all the accounts they get banned.

Appears to be an issue with Chrome (14.0.835.186 m for Windows). Appears fine for me on Firefox but, Chrome is messed up. In fact once I get to http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/index.php in Chrome though several clicks, the background is messed up.

Quote:Well I'm glad you're not in charge of the Market. I'd much rather pay a one time cost for stuff than what amounts to a reduced sub. The whole point of these transactions is to avoid paying a monthly sub.Originally Posted by gameboy1234
Yes, while I can see the annoyance, paying a one time fee to unlock something you can play ever after for free seems too good of a deal to me. I would have made it a monthly fee, like the $2 per month for the auction house.

Quote:Same for me, billing date was 22nd. So far no points or reward tokenOriginally Posted by Morgan Reed
Add me to the list of people wondering what the current status of points/tokens is and should be.
My billing date is on the 22nd, and have not received either a token or points yet.
However, I did start the Head Start with 400 more points and one more Token than I was expecting. So I am not crying foul. Just looking for clarification.

Quote:Honestly as someone playing for free they really want you to use the market.Originally Posted by Natsuki
The next thing I noticed, which I think is a big UI blunder, is that Premium accounts are forced to deal with the Paragon Market icon. While it was possible to turn off if you're a VIP member (along with the Paragon Rewards icon), and I did so almost immediately (I don't need extra UI clutter) as a Premium player I no longer have the ability to turn off this icon.
Personally I was surprised to see that VIPs could hide it. -

The first token you spend in a given tier elevates you to that tier for the purposes of unlocking features (subject to any known issues, which I don't think there are any of at the moment).
Quote:In order to get the Tier Bonus, a player needs only own that many Reward Tokens. The tokens do not have to be used in order to count for a Tier Bonus. For example, simply by earning eight Reward Tokens, a player will unlock the Tier 4 Bonus rewards, even if only one of those tokens has been slotted into a reward. http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Parago...Rewards_LevelsQuote:Tier 5 Bonus
Unlock Requirement: 13 reward tokens earned.
Owning 13 Reward Tokens grants the following to Premium Players: Access to Controller and Mastermind Archetypes, +3 Salvage Inventory, +3 Vault Inventory, +2 Recipe Inventory, +1 Auction House Slot
I'm in exactly the same boat with my second acct, 15mths Vet Rewards gained me enough tokens to completely fill tier 4 but it's a lot of money to unlock tier 5 to access my trollers and masterminds. -

Quote:As my Stone/Fire tank is volcano themed and I already use all the alternative lava power effects I've always wanted to change Granite to look something like a Magmite Lord.Originally Posted by Tunnel Rat
In other news, I expressed on the last Ustream marathon that I believed Granite Armor could be made customizable. I'll be devoting some of my free time to exploring this possibility. The trade-off would be that the Devouring Earth model is done away with, and replaced with a more generic-looking model that is placed over the character's body, similar to the rest of the Stone Armor powers.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this trade-off. Thanks to those who have already posted their opinions!

Give a big thanks to the engineers for this fix please Z.
Ok, gotta go to work now... -
Quote:I am starting to wonder if this is a new bug with Freedom or whether it's been around for ages but no one that got renamed in the Great Server List Merge (tm) has changed their password since then and only did so now because of the forum login issues.Originally Posted by Dante
'Early in the week' suggests to me that it might be something that could be fixed during Tuesday maintenance so I'm happy to sit patiently until then. This was a completely out of left field bug so credit to them for finding it so quickly. However, if I have to miss out a whole week of the headstart, I'm definitely going to start getting a bit crotchety.

Still locked out.
I really hope they get us in soon, I really don't want to miss any of the headstart badges because a bug has locked me out of the game! -
Quote:I'm still locked out because of the login bug, I really hope I'm not gonna miss this on my badger!!!!Originally Posted by Zwillinger
It is a Global Badge. Same as last time. Additionally, it's not *just* during the events, but during the entire first week of the Headstart.

Quote:I was just wondering why I didn't have that Hero Clix. I have the ones from the CoV CE...Originally Posted by Shadowe
Also an unlikely problem in the first place, since the EU DVD edition of CoH came with Power Slide and the cape, but no Hero Clix.
-
My username is exactly 14 chars long. It was 12 chars before the server list merge and someone stuck "EU" on the front of it.
As I also own the NA account (never used pass the first month) that had the same name can someone put NA on the front of that one and remove the EU on my live one please?
I hope they can fix this soon, I'm gonna be miffed if I miss the Beam Rifle sale because of this.

Quote:Me too. I'd love to complain about not playing tonight but since I haven't been able to log in since Wednesday because of this bug I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping this fixes whatever is locking me out of the game.Originally Posted by Dante
This is my hope too as another EU subscriber who can't enjoy the 'Head start' due to the 'Invald Username or Password' bug. Between that and the maintenance times slap bang in the middle of the EU peak times (of which this is another one, thanks) this hasn't been much of a headstart at all, more like an extended Beta.
Thank you.

I can log into Beta using my old password but not my current live one (although I changed that yesterday and as I understand it it can take 24hrs+ to get beta up to date with live account changes)
Still can't log into Live or Test. -
Quote:I have the exact same problem. I was able to get into the game on Wednesday morning, but I changed my password because I couldn't log into the forums.Originally Posted by Ice_Basher
I can't log into the game I keep getting the following message (EU account)
The account name or password that you have entered is incorrect
I've changed it numerous times via game account and still no joy
I can go onto Beta with my old password, I've even changed my trial US version which is linked to the same account and this is fine though comes up with Payment for this account has expired.
I've sent a message to support and tried their methods and that not working.
Anyone else experiencing this or know a way of fixing it?
After I changed my password I can now log into the forums but I cannot get into the game itself. I get the same exact message
The account name or password that you have entered is incorrect
I've tried changing my password a couple of times after that in case it was various special characters causing problems but no luck.
So far support have just suggested I uncheck the "remember username" check box. Surprisingly it made no difference.
I'm also in the EU (with an account that had it's name prepended EU in the list merge) if we're keeping count.
EDIT:
I've updated my ticket with a link to this thread so hopefully they can see there's a bigger problem than just me... -
Quote:Eeew, in-line stylesOriginally Posted by Zombie Man
Grrrrrrr.
My new skins change all posters' names to one color, even the rednames. That's because the new html doesn't create styles for different poster types anymore.
So, if you want to say good-bye to the Goldrenrod, you have to say good-bye to the reddened names.
someone needs a slap for that one.

Quote:Looking at most of the micro-transaction stores that require you to buy points to use in the store the primary reason for it seems to be to obfuscate the real prices.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
Its possible, but not likely in my opinion. The two rationale I presented above were not chosen randomly: it was specifically stated that two advantages of the points system was lower processing and reducing the problems with dealing with errant fraud alarms. I find it difficult to believe Paragon would implement a feature that would cost them money and generate fraud alarms that both they and their customers would have to deal with the ramifications of.
I suspect there is a further reason beyond the "stability" one you mention above, and that is credit card processing takes more time and resources than burning points which are entirely internal to the store. So minimizing the number of credit card transactions also reduces backend processing load.
Giving you 800 points for $10 instead of 1000 is there entirely to make you think it's closer to $8 than $10. -
Quote:I'm wary of changing my password too often in one day as I think the login servers are probably under some serious load and really not coping.Originally Posted by EvilGeko
That's weird, I changed my PW entirely (it was time) and it works for the game and the forums.
However, I just want to play the game
I wish I'd left well alone now, being able to get into the game but not the forums was infinitely preferable to the current situation. -
Quote:This morning I could log into the game no worries but the forums were playing up.Originally Posted by Kitsune9tails
Try changing your game password back to what it originally was, or just retyping it upon login very carefully.
The first time I changed the password this evening it was to the exact same thing as it was originally. That let me into the forums.
The game then refused to let me in. So I changed it to something completely different and copied/pasted it into the game. No dice. But the new password lets me into the forums (I logged out and then back in with the new password).
So far I've seen all of 5mins of Issue 21. It's not going well...
