I agree with you completely, _Hush_. The free stuff VIPs get is uneven. We get some new powersets, which is good. We also get new content in the Incarnate trials and SSAs, but most of that has been awful. Allowing VIPs access to a tedious grind is *not* doing them any favors.

All that being said, you have to remember that VIPs are actually the least important players in CoH. The management wants to make money through microtransactions, they want everyone to pay that way, and so they structure their content to entice people to be Premium. They do not want VIPs. So it's no use whining about them not treating VIPs very well. We are no longer their preferred customers, so of course they're not going to be as generous to us as to their micro-paying horde.

If you want to get back in the management's good graces, stop being a VIP player. Turn off your subscription and spend money on the Paragon market. You'll get more for your money that way and you'll feel more appreciated.

Before the release of Psi Blast for Blasters, so many PVP-oriented players were chanting "Psi, Psi, Psi..." because they wanted to get around the resistances of their player foes. But when it came out and the damage numbers were not awe-inspiring, a lot of those same posters expressed significant disappointment. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking there's a link of some sort, but I always assumed the Devs limited the damage output of Psi so it wouldn't become a monster PVP set.

For those interested in the story arcs, leveling to get to Oro and then just doing the arcs through there seems much better than trying to get the right contacts, sort through the garbage missions, etc.

Do people use Oro for their content or still do it the old fashioned way?

I really like the chest detail, as it has a "tactical" look.

First off I would like to thank those for your input at the summit for the Post Apocalyptic Costume Pieces.

I am currently working on it and wanted to keep you updated on what I have thus far. There is no concept as the pieces are pretty much already made so Google was my concept artist ^_^. With the Post Apocalyptic pack, we’re going to try something new in the Paragon Market: A “Themed Parts Pack.” What does this mean? Well, rather than making a unified, “complete” costume set we are making a set of various costume pieces around the Post Apocalyptic theme. I think you’ll like the results as it has the potential to offer much more flexibility than a soup to nuts costume.

Here's what has been decided:

• Cornrows

So how would you feel if as a compromised they released the Wisp Aura for sale? I think it would sell fairly well as I see a LOT of people using this aura.

Thoughts?

New player: So exactly what is a DFB?

Snobby Player # 1: A trip through the sewers mindlessly PLing and all sanctioned by the Devs

Snobby Player # 2: Yeah only the weak and lazy do that thing. Its supposed to teach you how to do very basic stuff.


It continues for a bit but you get the idea. These two geniuses were basically telling a newer player that the sewer trial sucked and he should avoid it at all costs. The best part was not a sole in Atlas Park, sadly myself included, stepped in the present our New Player with any other opinion.... I just didnt feel up to a heated debate with a couple idiots LOL

Using the middle rate suggested (400 points) that means you could spend $15 dollars on Paragon Points and get a total of 1720 points in return (1320 from the cash + 400 from the token). That works out to about 0.87 cents per point which is a pretty hefty discount over the base price of 1.25 cents per point or even the current best deal of 1.04 cents per point (not to mention that spending $100 dollars on points and then tossing all 8 PRTs into points would give a price of 0.78 cnets per point).
