Victorious

Going along with this theme, and since PVP has been mostly forgotten by PS since I13ish or so, this kind of shaking up could lead to some new life for the PVP zones. You covered Warburg, but what would you do in Siren's Call, and Booty Bay, both of which have a moderate to large Arachnos Presence. Would Arachnos leave Siren's to the heroes who are finally able to rebuild it properly? It would make sense as it seems here is where their presence is already the smallest. I always thought more could be done with these cross game zones. Maybe even make one into another co-op PVE hub.

Was running the Blue Side Reichsman Task Force, full team of 8, and the entire team has now crashed 3 times in the first two missions. If it was just 1 or 2 random players I could write it off as coincidence but, all 8 of us seems like something wrong with that Task Force.

Horns on a gun? I feel like I'm being trolled.

Oh, and pretinting is BS.

I played the hero version and we found that out as well. But I read all of the contact dialogue. Not sure I enjoyed this one. I rather liked that character, but it does mean at least one of my characters, who was professionally fond of her, will have a renewed sense of purpose. Yay for RP fodder, boo for WIR.

Since my billing date has come and gone, I figured I'd see if anyone else has an early day in the month and not received their regular stipend of points yet. I figured they'd have posted that they'll be awarded on X date like last month, but I can't seem to find that information. So, 1st-6th, anyone have points for this month?

I was excited for Titan Weapons to go live today, after seeing it in my power selection screen this morning. This is just disappointing.

Still no token, but I did finally get a response that I should receive one on or around the 28th. So weird since my billing date is the 6th.

Seems like I've had the same experience as several others. On 10/15 my support ticket was closed with the GM who the original was escalated to saying that I should be receiving the token within a few days (my bill date, and old vet reward date was between the 6th and the 8th). I gave it a week and opened a new one this afternoon. No reply yet, but we'll see what happens when it does.

I'm currently at 34 tokens, and that is correct other than the one I should have been awarded by now.
1 Free
1 for a retail box
1 for my first Paragon Points purchase
1 for a 12 dollar purchase
6 for each full year of subscription (curse that year break I took)
24 for 72 months of vet rewards running up until September.

Whether it's awarded now or the 28th isn't a big deal, like others I'd just like to know when I can expect them. Without that understanding I can't know that something isn't wrong, and have no choice but to open a support ticket.

I'm quite certain there was a different/better answer to how this could have been accomplished. You've removed a selling point for premium players, and for us VIPs that aren't using it to abuse the system, you've added essentially more content for us to try to get to in the 20-30 range. You know, that level range that nearly every new thing is added into leaving it impossible to see even a majority of it while still teaming normally. Do not like.

I've searched, and haven't been able to find my answer. The answer of many I'm sure is Magic, but I'm equally sure a strong case can be made for two other origins as well, (disregarding Science or Technology as they don't seem to fit the powers, but if you want to make the case please do). My very first instinct was she would be be revealed as a natural with a connection to wherever her dark powers come from. But it could also be a mutation, and I'm sure as I stated above is that it's simple magic. Thoughts, opinions?

Thanks for the updates Z, I just have one final request, could you please clarify the "same schedule as the old veteran rewards" thing. I'm still confused. In simple terms, my Paragon Rewards token for October will come around my billing date in November, correct? Cause when I see old schedule, it makes me think every three months, which is contrary to what I think the system is supposed to be.

For clarification then. My active billing date is the 6th of the month. However, as far as the "October" Paragon Reward, it won't be awarded until sometime around my billing date in November? This feels like salt in a wound after the day before launch notice you weren't going to be able to give us the tokens for time we'd paid for up front, which was the reason I subbed in advance in the first place. I hope resources are being expended to change this for the future, as thus far, the Paragon Rewards have been one negative and disappointing announcement after another.

From what I can tell, it is the level 40 costume mission that is bugged. I had the same happen. A petition was sent, and after investigating it (and bumping it up the line), they awarded the slot.

*Around Atlas Park and other areas of the city, you may see a rather large man hanging fliers, and if you smile at him; he’ll smile back, or say a friendly hello. Upon inspection of the fliers, you find the following:*

The Galaxy Foundation, formed to keep the memory of those lost alive, to help those displaced by the tragedy, and to help the downtrodden of Paragon. Currently seeking both heroic and non powered volunteers.

Please inquire in person, over the phone, or through email. *contact info is all provided on the flier*

((The Galaxy Foundation is a new RP Supergroup formed to take advantage of the rich story, and background provided starting in I21. The Foundation's goals are to 1) Keep the memory of those who perished in Galaxy alive, 2) deal with the immediate aftermath of the Shivan attack, as well as other problems throughout the city, and 3) continue the tradition of heroism and charity that came out of the tragedy, and was exemplified by heroes of Galaxy City before it. Eventually, the Supergroup will be based out of a revamped community center/shelter. For now, it is being sponsored by the Starchasers Supergroup.

You don’t have to be new/low level, or a "street level" type of hero to join. Here are a few examples of the heroes that are already part of the Foundation.

1) An up until now ordinary man who discovered his powers and took the first step on the road to discovering his true heritage when the apartment he was in was destroyed in the Shivan attack and subsequent fight between Statesman and Lord Recluse. He crawled out of the rubble, his wounds healing quickly and picked up a discarded Vanguard weapon to help out his city.

2) A princess from a Paradise/Utopia type of world, she’s never had to deal with this level of death and destruction in her life. With Earth being the adopted home of her parents, she’s convinced them to sponsor the Foundation and donate to them what they need to get the new center built. Taking their mission to heart to help cope with her own turmoil surrounding the tragedy.

We’re small with only a few members other than those listed above, but only for the time being. We hope to grow quickly, but we're not about quantity. If you’re interested, please feel free to PM me here, or if preferable you can Email or Global Friend me in game (@Derek), to discuss possibly coming on board. We’re seeking mostly friendly hero types, but we won’t turn anyone away that has a clear In Character purpose for wanting to join.))

More info: This is only occurring at the super tailors, I can use a normal tailor just fine, but if I need to go from body slider to costume screen it crashes the client.

While entering the tailor screen on my Crab Spider, I'm able to bring up the first body slider screen fine, however, if I click next to change the costume, it crashes the game client, bringing up the "tell us what you did" box. Tested 3 times before reporting, and I was able to use the tailor without incident on other characters this evening.

This is a disappointment. I just renewed my subscription for enough time to put me into the costume options for T9 last week. Waiting until the day before to drop this decision is a bad call (I'm assuming marketing made it, so they can milk it to the last possible day). I'd have still paid for subscription time, but I'd have done it monthly and drop the money I spent into the points to get tokens. This is dumb.

Didn't see the announcement until this morning. I have to say it sucks, I just purchased a multi-month subscription plan again last week, based on the information that we would be gaining the tokens up front. To have this held until the day before release is a terrible decision, by whoever made it (marketing I'm guessing, milk it til the last day). If I had known this would NOT be what went live, I would have continued a monthly subscription, instead of paying enough to finish out Tier 8 and get the armor choices in the VIP Tier 9.

Very disappointed.

Had a nice "RUN RUN RUN" experience in the Cap SF today. Our team of 6 (Thugs/FF, Bots/FF, Mercs/Poison, Rad/EM blaster, Widow, Crab) had Bat'Zul running from basically the first bit of damage. We still managed to get him down to about 1/3rd HP before he ran out of range of the area we had cleared, and down a tunnel he went, only have to the slow walk back behavior kick in. We tried having just one person attack to draw him back to us, and again he went running. We finally waited for him to fully walk back (and regen his health back to around 80%), and attacked again. He went running but because we had repositioned where we engaged, we were able to get him down before he ran out of range again.

I wasn't sure whether this would fit better under bugs, or the costume request thread. I'm leaning more toward bug though.

Currently the chest option Tanker is available to both huge, and female body types with Sleeveless Jackets. It is not available to Male.

That's website maintenance. Not the same thing as server maintenance.
