DING! DING! DING!

We have a winner ladies and germs.

Most likely it was one of the Green Lanterns or even a Flash that told them this. Maybe even a Robin.

READ MY LIPS: I'm NOT Talking about A-Merits. YOU are the ones that keep bringing A-Merits into the discussion.

You keep saying you want some type of Rewards for running Hero or Villain Alignment missions with your friends that are full Hero or Villain. I keep telling you that you are getting rewards. There are different rewards available depending on what your alignment is. IF you want specific rewards, you have to make a choice.

The reward for being a Hero running a Hero Alignment mission affirming that he is a Hero isn't something that should be offered to someone that isn't a Hero.

The reward for being a Villain running a Villain Alignment mission affirming that he is a Villain isn't something that should be offered to someone that isn't a Villain.

The reward for being a Rogue of Vigilante is that you can go places that a full Hero or Villain can't go and do missions that a full Hero or Villain can't do.

Those are trade-offs in the system. It's all about choice. What I'm saying has nothing to do with A-Merits. It has to do with why you aren't being given some type of credit for doing Hero/Villain Alignment missions when you aren't of that alignment. Since the mission is to Affirm the Hero/Villain alignment, credit (even partial credit) should not be given to someone that is not a Hero/Villain since you are not affirming anything.

You are merely along to assist and you are being rewarded for that with XP, Drops of various types, Prestige if in SG/VG mode. You aren't being offered Hero/Villain credit in a Hero/Villain Alignment mission since you aren't a Hero/Villain due to a choice you've made.

If you want the Hero/Villain credit for doing the Hero/Villain Alignment missions, you'll have to give up the rewards you get for being a Rogue/Vigilante.

If you want the Rogue/Vigilante rewards, you'll have to give up the Hero/Villain credit.

I did pay attention.

You are wanting the hero/villain rewards for running hero/villain alignment missions when not a hero/villain.

I'm pointing out to you that you there are rewards for you doing those things, but they aren't the hero/villain rewards. And that is the tradeoff you make when YOU CHOOSE to remain in the rogue/vigilante state.

IF you want the hero/villain rewards, you can make the switch to full hero/villain status but you are limited to your zones and missions. IF you want to be able to cross between hero and villain zones and run both sets of mission you can choose to remain rogue/vigilante but you lose access to some of the rewards that a full hero/villain gets. Both get things that the other doesn't. It's all your choice.

The rewards you are talking about are rewards for affirming your hero/villain status. As Rangle stated, there are rewards for affirming your rogue/vigilante status as well. Heroes and villains don't get those rewards because they've made the choice to stay hero/villain.

On today's Lunch menu we have the following specials:

Chicken Fried Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Corn, and Chocolate Ice Cream.

Or

Spaghetti with Meatballs, Apple Gorgonzola Salad, and Cherry Casata Torte.

No Substitutions allowed.

You want the Spaghetti with Meatballs and the Apple Gorgonzola Salad but you want the Chocolate Ice Cream instead, even though that doesn't come with the Spagehetti Special.

You have to decide which menu offerings choices you want but you don't get to cherry pick off of the other menu choices. It's all or nothing.

Same with the Alignment system.

You get XP. You get Enhancement drops. You get Salvage drops. You get Recipe Drops. You get Prestige if you are in SG mode.

You are getting rewards and you can go between zones and run missions on both sides, things that pure alignments can't do. There are trade-offs built into the system. The thing is, you get to choose which are important to you.

If you really want all of the rewards that Heroes get for affirming their alignment, switch over to the Hero side. If you really want all of the rewards that Villains get for affirming their alignment, switch over to the Villain side. If you want to be able to run Hero missions and Villain missions and travel between the zones, stay in the gray area. It's your choice.

Guide: How to make the new NCSoft Launcher as unobtrusive as possible thread. (Not sure why it got unstickied)

True. Hot redhead wins out over wonky-eyed blonde bimbo every time.

If your account is paid up, you should be able to access the Beta Server. Instructions for how to do that are linked in the announcement made yesterday by Avatea.

Some new powersets will require purchasing to use, but you don't HAVE to purchase them if you don't want them. Some new powersets will be free for VIP's and purchasable for the rest.

I already had Beta client installed, and I patch it regularly. When they announced last night that VIP Beta would start today, I patched up. Didn't take long. Nothing to patch today when I got home either.

Now just waiting for them to open the doors.

Geeeeee. If only they'd told us what time it would start.








Oh wait. They did.


They were even nice enough to give a link to a site that does time zone translation for you.

You could try making a Praetorian.

I knew you weren't in the Beta, or at least you weren't the last time I saw you say something about Beta.

That's why I said a Zombie Man-style guide.

Otherwise, I'd have just said a Zombie Man Guide to Issue 21.

Lrn 2 read, nUb.

I never expect lag in the game, be it peculiar, random or otherwise.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! !!!!!

Too bad you didn't use the unedited version of the picture. Especially since the edited one has errors like Manticore's quiver magically floating behind Statesman.
