Quote:Villains that do not switch sides don't have access to the WarWolf Whistle.Originally Posted by GreenFIame
Everything in it can be earn, like Were Wolf Whistle which can be earn by doing the Striga Mission Arc, forgot which Contact, but i do no you can get a refill of it, if you run mish again in ourobos. This is not a need it Kit and feel sorry for anyone who bought this, everything in the kit can be earn, give us something Different or hard too get temp power.
Heroes and villains that are below the level of the arc don't have access to it.
The same is true for the Holy Shotgun Shells.
It's even more true for the Baseball Bat temp power since it's a crafted item. Free accounts and Premiums below a certain Reward Level don't get the drops for it or access to crafting that is needed to make it.
Not everyone is playing a character that has access to all of the things in the pack.
I don't even think there is a way to earn the Self Revive power unless it is a temp power or a Day Job temp. I've yet to see a way to earn the Dual Inspirations outside of the Paragon Rewards. -

Given that MAGI can't keep a biscuit tin secure, let along a magical artifact or secret. The chances of any hero giving their secret identity to the FBSA and not dying a week later are slim to none.
or as some prefer
MAGI != FBSA -

Or for those of us that don't use firefox, even the regular villain skin (or did that extention finally get ported to Chrome?)
Of course, the person trying it didn't get it to work right at first because they forgot to change the forum style to the villain style. After they changed that, it all worked right.Quote:Originally Posted by Zombie Man
I've just been told by a Chrome user that there's a way to make it work in Chrome. So I updated the Zombie Skin thread with...

Quote:Actually, it's the Hero STYLE, not skin. If you are running Zombie Man's Villain Skin but have the forums set to the Hero STYLE using the drop down menu in the lower left of the page, you'll still have the broken look.

It's a Hero-Skin only thing. One more reason to use Zombie Man's Villain Skin.
I've been using his Hero Skin but setting the forums to the Villain STYLE so that everything works right. I just can't stand all that red, it hurts my eyes to read it. -
HiJackThis log would be helpful.
As a wild guess without any data to work on, if you are running anything like RivaTuner, EVGA Precision Tool or anything similar to adjust settings on the video cards, fans, etc I'd recommend turning it off. They are known to interfere with the game.
Also, the drive the game is installed on is getting extremely low on space, percentage-wise. -

Quote:I don't do IO's on most of my characters, and those that do have them just slotted what dropped and have no set bonuses.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Threadjack here, but I took her on with quite a few SO-equipped non-50s. I won't claim it was always fast and easy or that I never died doing it, but I always succeeded.
I don't do a lot of build planning to get the most out of my characters.
I build them to have fun.
I'm not sure if I took on Lady Winter with any non-50's but I did take her on with at least 3 50's, all successfully.
One character even ran the mission multiple times because it was so much fun seeing my blaster take her down from long range while taking very little damage.
And this wasn't due to using a lot of inspirations either.
Okay, less threadjack. I'm out. -

Is this still happening?
The log in cookie is possibly still set to 24 hours, but we've talked to the appropriate parties about having this changed to 14 days.
I can log in at home in the morning while I'm trying to get ready for work then after work I have to log in again before I can make any posts or click any of the forum function icons. -
I've recommended it over the years to a few friends that, like me, are wanting to experience the content and not pass it up. The additional inf is a bonus for doing that.
Some of us don't play just for the fastest levelling speed. If we were running the exact same missions over and over and over it would be a grind, but since it is different missions and different arcs, we are experiencing the content we like. That is in no way a grind. -
I wanted to add something about my previous comments in regard to when and what to slot.
Before they gave us the option to turn off earning XP in the Options menu, I regularly would intentionally die to accrue debt so that I had a higher inf earning potential during each 5 level range and also so that I didn't outlevel some of the content.
Now the debt penalty is so trivial (and so quickly paid off) that I have to turn off earning XP to increase early inf earnings and not outlevel some of my favorite arcs and contacts.
There is so much content now in the 20's that it's easy to stock up on inf by turning off XP earnings and running the First Ward, Striga, early Croatoa, Talos and IP missions as well as the Midnighter missions, the FBSA missions and the rest of the newer content that's been added to that level range over the past few years. Not only am I getting to run some fun missions that I enjoy, but I also build up inf and get some nice temp powers along the way.
Doing this has allowed me to start getting my SO's a bit earlier and slotting more fully than I used to and with each set of new 20-30 content they add it just gets easier to build up inf at those levels. -
Quote:There were two times that I can recall that some players got several months ahead on Vet Reward time. It was usually when they were doing something trying to "fix" the Vet Rewards not being rewarded correctly for several players. Since Vet Rewards were for every 3 months of paid time, them getting 2 to 6 awards ahead means anywhere from 6 to 18 months.Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
This is what they are claiming and stating those accounts will be "caught up" with what they really should have had at launch. So if you started out with more than you should have (minus buying points), you won't receive anymore until the balance is even.
However, I don't ever recall anyone being more than 1, maybe 2, *weeks* ahead of their vet time. Being over X threshold to account as 1 full month, and in that case 4?!?!, just seems to add to the really awful implementation for all of this. -
Quote:Hero Style, not Hero Skin.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Filthy hero skin user.
Check the General Chat forum or the Community Rep digest for "Forums are borked" or something like that - basically, the hero skin broke. Z and crew are aware of it and working to fix it.
Two different ways of doing things. -
Quote:That highlighted portion is basically what I've done since I first started playing the game in Beta. I really haven't gotten into using the Auction House that much since it was introduced, so most of my new characters still use the same enhancement strategies I've used for 7+ years.Originally Posted by Stone Daemon
Frankly, since the whole problem you are having revolves around a barrier put into place to block griefers, and the solution to your "problem" is only a minimal investment into the game, I can't see how the dev team will care about losing someone who is not planning on paying. The email method should be more than enough of a workaround, not to mention that with careful slotting there really shouldn't be too bad of a enhancement shortage. Furthermore, the early game is NOT based around SO enhancements. You can go from 1-20 with nothing slotted at all, and 20-30 with just DOs. I've done it, and still do, to save money.
No, you're specifically ignoring the reasons why such methods exist and complaining you want it your way.
This pretty much sums up how I've enhanced mine over the years with some minor variations at times. Even though I have a few high level characters, I don't bother sending Inf or anything else to them anymore since it's really not needed. Does it help if I slot them a little better earlier? Sure. Is it necessary to slot them a little better earlier? Nope.Quote:Originally Posted by Snow Globe
You're doing it wrong. Again:- Don't buy Training Origins. Either use what drops, or better yet, sell them to the vendors.
- In the 20s, use Dual Origins. Only slot at 22-23 and 27-28. Sell everything you can't use, and sell any Training or Single Origins to the vendors.
- In the 30s start using Single Origins. This does not mean replacing all your Dual Origins, only supplementing them. Again only slotting at 32-33 and 37-38. Don't slot everything to max. Sell everything you can't use to the vendors.
- At 42-43 and 47-49, yes slot only Single Origins. Do so when you can, combine with drops when you can, and don't expect everything to be slotted to +3.
- At level 50, start slotting to 50++, and do TFs to get 51-53 Single Origins.
On my current new character, I'm forcing myself to use the Auction House to sell things off rather than just selling them at vendors, but I'm only doing that with recipes and salvage. Enhancements still get sold at the appropriate Origin stores and the sales of the salvage and recipes makes it easier to slot earlier and better, but none of my characters in the past has missed out on anything by not having the top level enhancements available at all times. -
Eh, it was 3 AM when Bloodspeaker was posting that. He might have still been half asleep or about to fall asleep at the keyboard.

Quote:There have been a few errors that were introduced into the old Veteran Rewards system that at times gave players more Vet Reward than what they had actually earned. When those happened, they didn't remove the erroneously granted rewards, so it's possible that some of those were showing as having more than the 29 possible for the continuous subscription and then adding the 7 for 7 years plus the 1 for a retail code and the 1 that every subscriber got when Freedom launched put them over the 38 you and I had at Freedom's launch.Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
While the math matches what they are saying, I'm baffled how some could have gotten 39, and sometimes 40+, at launch time while having the same (if not LESS) subscribed time as myself without purchasing extra points, which on at least 2 accounts, was not the case.
That's the only way I can see that happening and considering how often they've had goofs in the old Vet Rewards it's entirely possible that this is the explanation.
EDIT: If you look at the post above by OneFrigidWitch, this seems to be what it it is doing. And it looks like they are attempting to fix it by correcting the erroneously awarded Reward Tokens by not awarding one each month until the account has the correct number.
Quote:Originally Posted by OneFrigidWitch
I finally got an answer from support that actually made sense. However, it is still frustrating to say the least. It seems that when Freedom launched, I got more tokens then I should have, and will not get a new token until my account catches up (in 2 months? maybe?). I double checked the math and yes, I really got more tokens than I should have. 4 to be exact. So, one (or two?) months have passed, so I wont get one in Nov, Dec, and possibly Jan. Which means no new tokens until Jan or possibly Feb. :| Unamused client is unamused. -
The last word I heard from them was that the VIP Beta server is not available and we should be using the Beta server.

Quote:Um. Yeah. $3-400 above the cost of the meat and boxes doesn't fit my idea of economical.Originally Posted by Red_Gren
I dunno if it fits in with economically, but if you ask the guy who's helping you, chances are he'll be able to provide you with the business card for a local private mail outfit that's shipped Schaub's before (so they'll have the dry ice for perishible shipments.) Also, while they won't be directly involved with the shipping, they will sell insulated boxes for packing your purchase in. If I remember correctly, the boxes will hold about 4 Fred's. My vague recollection is that it cost somewhere near $3-400 to ship that much Fred's over & above the purchase cost of the meat & boxes.

Still, I may ask them about it while I'm there just in case I ever win the Lottery. -
I've heard reports of players just walking up and clicking Maria (without being introduced) and having her offer them missions. I can't test it myself since all of the characters I have that are high enough have already been introduced to her.
It might be worth it to at least try. -
Quote:They are currently subscribed. They are PLANNING on going to Premium once they buy some slots with their points. It was in the first sentence of their post.Originally Posted by Call Me Awesome
Welcome back, and by all means kick the tires some. You may want to go ahead and subscribe to get access to the entire game but there's nothing wrong with getting your feet wet first as a Premium.

I took a break for 6+ years and am back as a casual player, planning to go Premium once I buy some character slots with my paragon points.
Since they are posting here in this forum section, it's rather obvious that they are currently a VIP, since only VIP's can post here. The only forum section that I've been able to successfully post to with my Premium account is the Gameplay / Technical Issues & Bugs forum section. I just tested it again before making this post in case it had changed since testing last week. No new threads, no replies, no editing of posts.
Also, I've found that a good way to tell if a poster is VIP or not is to hover over their forum name (in IE) or click it (in Firefox) and see if it gives the option to send a Private Message to the person. If it does, they are VIP. If not, they aren't a VIP.
EDIT: The above section is for informational purposes only. It is not intended as a post to belittle anyone, only to share information that has changed since the last official statement about it. -
Check the Brute forums in the Archetypes section. I'm sure there are some good builds there. Or in the Builds forum section.
