    Considering it was the centerpiece of your argument... yes?

On a beta with free points, its' not a problem. On live with paid-for points and no refunds? Problem.
    Patience is a Virtue. I bought something. Maybe it takes more than a second to process.

    Unfortunately, patience is not sold in the market at this time so you will have to acquire it from other sources.

    I thought the names of Extra Storage #1, Extra Storage #2, Extra Storage #3, and so on were pretty clear.

    If you tried to buy Extra Storage #3 multiple times - FAIL.

    For the record, the only time I had a bit of confusion was when the market and our purchases were reset.

    If that confuses you - a reset is everything is restored to its default state. So, in the case of the Paragon Market, all of our purchase histories were reset. I.e. Cleared.
  2. Underground Trial
    Lead to Desdemona through the Underground Tunnels to discover the secret of whatever it is Praetorian Vanessa DeVore has found.


    Enemy Groups
    • IDF
    • Devouring Earth [Praetorian]

    Bosses
    • Extinction War Walker [EWW]
    • Self Repairing War Walker [SRWW]
    • Lichen Infested War Walker [LIWW]
    • Avatar of Hamidon

    PHASE 1
    Part 1
    • Clear out the 3 mobs in the area.

    Part 2
    • Desdemona's Ritual - protect her through 4 IDF assaults in 2 locations.

    Part 3
    • Lead through the subways/tunnels.
    • Best to stay to the right when going through the long, curved tunnel.

    Part 4
    • Clear 60 IDF.

    Part 5
    • Defeat EWW.

    PHASE TWO
    Part 1
    • DE & IDF fighting - respawnable mobs.
    • Clear through the tunnels, stairs, and more tunnels.
    • Start collecting glowing lichen you will need them for the fight against the SRWW.

    Part 2
    • Crystal Chamber Trap
    • Defeat the 4 regenerating crystals that have locked Desdemona.
    • Desdemona cannot be healed while she is trapped.
    • Crystals will quickly regenerate if there are any DE near them.

    Part 3
    • Lead through the tunnels
    • Collect lichen

    Part 4
    • Defeat 60 DE
    • COLLECT LICHEN!!!

    Part 5
    • Go up elevator
    • Defeat SRWW
    • Use collected Lichen on SRWW (it helps to CTRL-Click them so they become auto when useable)
    • Collectable lichen will respawn in room. Collect and use as necessary.

    Part 5b
    • Defeat LIWW
    • Same room as SRWW
    • LIWW regens on the nearest respawning Regenerative Lichens
    • Try to push LIWW as far back as possible and focus on the two nearest lichen spawns.
    • Ranged toons should "camp" lichens so they can alternate from attacking lichen and then range attack LIWW. The Regenerative Lichen targeting macro will make these role more efficient.
    • 2 - 3 people on lichen if best.
    • DE mobs will constantly respawn, mostly Boss and EB level. It is best to ignore them and focus on the LIWW
    • There is a badge for defeating the SRWW & LIWW in under 8 minutes from the start of the battle.

    PHASE THREE
    Part 1
    • Orb Bombs! Stay near Desdemona - she will shield from bomb blast.
    • Fight DE through subway corridors.
    • There is a badge for defeating all bombs before they detonate. All bombs

    Part 2
    • Toxic Hallway - environmental effects will do around 2 - 3 ticks of damage every now and then plus random effects.
    • Defeat X amount of Avatar's Mobs.
    • Defeat X amount of IDF
    • BOMBS BOMBS BOMBS

    Part 3
    • Defeat Avatar of Hamidon (I have no strategy for that at the moment)
    • During parts of the fight the league will have to stay away from Desdemona or she will take more damage.
    • Watch out for the Grasp of Gaia. It can be observed flying across the floor and it will target a player. Any players within range of that player will experience additional damage.
    • Seeds will deploy from the ceiling throughout the fight.

    Tips
    • The best Incarnate Power to have on hand is Clarion.
    • The easiest way to target Regenerative Lichen during the fight with the LIWW is with a bind/macro (i.e. /macro RL targetcustomnext Regenerative)
    • Slash command to monitor confuse protection: /monitorattribute confuse protection
    • Bind for bombs: /bind <key> "targetcustomnear demolition
    • Desdemona cannot be teleported - so the use of any team or league teleport can cause Desdemona to be left behind and killed by any mobs she aggros.
  3. Virtue.

    Because I play on it.

    And if you want to be on a successful Keyes run, I'm the person to run it with.

    To counter that argument, we have thousands of millions of billions of players playing COH on their PCs - so the relative percentage of players losing their VIP status because they are playing COH on a computer not designed, or intended, for gaming is minuscule.

    There has been too much promotion, too much discussion, too much planning to just Ninja Launch this issue. We'll get a good heads up warning of when it's coming.
  6. While I was talking to Cleverbot it kept circling back to Minecraft.
  7. Sadly, that convo is a lot like how people are in real life; a lot of talking without listening.
  8. Title: "Looking for a heavy roleplaying VG."

    I don't do heavy roleplaying.

    Heavy petting, however...

    Goodnight, Irene

    To Hurricane Irene,

    You're dead; let's disco!
    Sincerely,

    Voodoo Girl
  10. (Sorry haven't read every response in the thread... yet)

    Perhaps, I'm guessing, Level Pact'ing will need to be recoded as a Premium/VIP feature?

    Goodnight, Irene

    BTW, the rain is just beginning to the downpour and the wind is slowly, slowly coming. The supermarkets were packed and devoid of yesterday, at 9AM they were packed and devoid of everything.

    That's when I remembered: I own an obscene amount of tupperware, two bread makers, and a 3lb bag of rice. I've spent my day cooking and baking bread.

    Goodnight, Irene

    I taped my cats to the window with the X's so they can watch debris fly by. I figure if they like watching birds they'll like watching lawn furniture fly by.
  13. VoodooGirl

    Goodnight, Irene

    I'll see you in the AM.

    I refuse to drive 400 miles (800 miles round trip) to avoid this Hurrinothing. I've already endured an earthquake this week, I can certainly handle some wind & rain.

    I'll be on my deck.

    With my cats.

    See you then, Irene.

    For the rest of y'all, I'll see you Live as soon as I can
  14. When you hit the higher levels (i.e. 37+) - what I used to do was grind newspaper missions set on Ruthless (don't know how that difficulty settings translates into the new difficulty system.)

    Quoted for truth.
  17. Is the Arena, Bloody Bay, Siren's Call, Warburg, and Recluse's Victory not enough zones for a dead aspect of the game? Why the Shadow Shard?

    If the PvP community was more robust (and not just an extremely vocal few) I could understand the want/need for a new PvP zone - maybe a PvP off-shoot of the Shadow Shard - but not taking an existing zone and make it PvP so a few teenagers can get their rocks off.

    I imagine there will be new forums up for this VIP Beta.
