Quote:Ahh...okays. Thanks for explaining this to me. I think I am beginning to understand. And Forbin_Project linked an official post about that to confirm this is what is intended.Ahh yes, they front loaded all of the September Paragon Points on release of the VIP head start.
And since you payed in on September 29th, your next stipend will come sometime around October 29th.
...thanks for all those who took the time out to explain this to my thick skull. -
Quote:Okays...that does seem a bit confusing. Though it does explain the whopping 1600 points I've recieved at the beginning of this...which was far above what I had calculated. So this headstart then would cover this month also I presume?True, it is now October. But if your billing cycle rolled over 2 days ago, that was still September, which means those points that you would have received on that day were front-loaded to you with the release of the head start. That also means that your next points will come in late October, since that is when your next billing cycle occurs.
Today is the first day since the i21 head start that any account will be awarded points when their billing cycle rolls over.
I guess the bottom line is that as long I am not having to pay extra for those 400 points per month in addition to my subscription. Because that would truely blow. -

Quote:Yes, that's what I thought...but my account lapse was yesterday (Sept 29), where the new renewal should of kicked in. (And it has...since I still have access to all my characters and character slots.)When was your previous subscription set to lapse, or the billing cycle set to renew for a given month? You don't get the points when you put money in if there is still time left on your previous month's subscription. So if you fist subscribed on September 5th, and you add more money for the next month on September 29th, you wouldn't receive the Paragon Points until the 5th of October when your monthly subscription cycle refreshes.
I I think that's how it works, but I am not sure how it works to be honest...
(Oh hey, aren't you the same JuliusSeizure that posts over at Massively occasionaly? O.O) -

Sorry to bother everyone...
...I've paid my dues 2 days ago to continue my subscription. But I haven't recieved this month's supplement of 400 points as promised. Is there something else I need to do? Or was there a change of policy? Or is a bug? -
This extended maintenance window makes me ponder a world of MMO's that can run without physical servers. It's same world of MMO's that I can play offline when ever I get disconnected.

Thank you! I thought I was the only person on the planet with this problem.
...yeah, I can't login into Freedom...without getting resent back to the login screen after a standard "can't connect' message. What's going on? -
Quote:You know, that kinda reminds me of a similar nerf done to CO on release date. Made the game play very different from that of beta...Jack did have some good ideas, but he went about em all wrong when he forced em onto us.
Purple patch and Enhancement Diversification coming to mind.
Purple patch was lovely, the first version of it made +3 mobs about as hard as +6 mobs are to us now. It was next to impossible to kill anything than an even mob, which happened to be really easy, and a red/purple minion could wipe a team. Was insane and unplayable, ESPECIALLY when you take into account that half the missions were bugged and would contain a +5 boss in the end. Took a week or two for it to change into pretty much what we got now. Been some updates after, mostly on defense and accuracy and such.
ED pretty much came out of nowhere. I liked the idea of it, but when we got it. we got no warning, aside from some beta testers who saw something wasn't as usual. Jack went on some crusade that the testers were all wrong and nothing had changed. then BAM! CoV hits and we got it. Lots of peoples builds became useless, and from what i recall, we got no respec either.
Defense based characters died like flies, resistance chars became squishy. It was a royal mess. Took a month or so for em to realise the error and raised some base stats.
Been some other things he done, but the above two were the big ones.
...though the reasons of the timing of the changes left many to suggest the issue was of *monetary in motive rather than that of a stubborn vision.
*Note: That is, it was suspected Cryptic was afraid to make these changes in beta for the fear of driving away potential players including lifetime subbers. -
It nevers bothers me how the community behaves or is depending on the game. If I did, I would of left WoW years ago. But I will say, CoH/V's communtiy is more evolved than most...and I do find that attractive.
Maybe the size of the game has something to do with this - a game with 11 millions players it's quite more likely to have idiots posting or run into. Maybe this game doesn't allow performance measuring mods and an Armory which other players can readily ad hominem if they disagree with you or at worst, greif you over with when you're trying to progress. Maybe it's all those flamboyant costumes both men and women trot around in...making this game feel more open, accepting and certainly colorful. I could go on...but for what ever reason, it 's clear that the community here has always been great. -

I never found puppy licking excessive, Perfect.
...I believe I have toons on Virtue...though I'm not sure they are my Heroes or Villians. Though, I'll check.
I have been here before...and has been my refuge from WoW fatigue from time to time. Though I'm not sure I level'd anything past 36. But now I here to remind myself how much more freedom I had missed in comparison to... (ahem) Roper's Online.
Anyways...I shall check out that link. Thank you again, Perfect-san.
Edit: Oh yes that! I saw the vid demos...it looks great. Though I hope our models get individual fingers. <3
Edit 2: It looks like I have all my evils over on Virtue. Though add this to your Friends if you wish: Utakata Manastu. -
Um...I just want to chime in here, wave and say hi to that puppy licking person hosting this post from that ...(ahem) other "content charging" hero game. As I am also a refugee from said game. But I am really glad I'm here...even if that puppy licking person doesn't really remember me...
...though the current puppy she's using doesn't seem to be licking.
Anywhoose, my first post...
...um, sorry to interrupt. As you where. <3
