OK, well I don't think the OP was talking about existing trials, he meant new ones. AFAIK, the LFG queue will pull everyone it can, although if you have a Rogue or Vigilante in the "wrong" zone, I don't think it will include them, although I could be wrong.

That can't be correct. I know I've run trials personally with well over the minimum number of folks to start, and people in the queue were also added. I've been added personally to Trials too, and I could see that there were more than the minimum required.

Maybe after the Trial/TF starts, or maybe TF/SF only, but for new Trials I'm 100% certain that's misinformation.

Regarding the OP's question, I don't know specifically. You might have to test it. I.e., get a rogue, have them stand in Cap and enter the LFG with "any". Kick off a DD in Dark Astoria, see if they show up. Etc. There might be some content where it depends on both eligibility and location. As a Rogue I can't be invited half the time and have to switch to a blue or neutral zone first, so it might be similar for Trials and TF/SFs.

As I think they've mentioned about a hundred times already, that would require engineering (programming) support.

Their current give away just requires someone log into the store and set the cost of an item to zero. These are astronomical distances apart in terms of time, resources and the different teams who implement them.

It's a slap in the face, is what it is.

This is where I usually go. The police station roof itself is low enough that you can jump on top without a travel power, and from there jump on other roofs nearby that have clockworks on them. Used to be very handy when we had to wait until level 14 for travel powers.

I'm positive this is for Issue 23 and not live yet. I.e., in 3 to 6 weeks there's be a big download and then you'll have the /lfg channel. For the OP, when that happens, please switch advertisements for teams to /lfg instead of help, as a lot of folks like to keep the channels for their intended purpose so folks can use them efficiently.

As a returning player, you should have had 3 to 5 global unlocks floating about for you to use to unlock a few of your characters. If you had previously used those unlocks, they're available on that server only, but they can be used on any character, or even an empty slot. Look on the very top left part of the character select screen. It should tell you how many global slots (not sure if that's the exact wording) you have. When you go premium, this will increase slightly.

Look around on your most played servers. Any server with extra character slots (more than 12) is a good candidate for a server with global unlocks.

To unlock, just click on the character and click Next like you were going to log in. If the character is locked, you'll get a pop-up asking if you want to spend an unlock on it. Be aware that an unlock is permanent once assigned, so only pick characters that you'd really want to play as a premium.

I think it means "a black eye." Note the comments after this caption contest (you'll need to use control-F to find the one about Alabama eyeshadow):

I have a friend (friend of a friend, actually, but not important) who started strafing around building corners at school, keeping his vision right at "head height." When he realized what he was doing, he decided it was time to quit playing Counter-Strike.

This is what I think should happen. Granted there seems to be a few good ideas in I13; those can be kept. But it seems like low hanging fruit to revert the things that clearly didn't work.

The main bugaboos being Diminishing Returns and Travel Suppression. Please get rid of those right quick.

Damn it.

DAMN IT!

I'd add to this and say that #'s 3 and 4 (actually 5 and 6 I guess) are:

3. Get on your server's global channel(s) for Trials

4. Run as many as you can with lots o' other folks.

You didn't say that you were solo, so I assume you're willing to team up at least part of the time. Dark Astoria is fine when there's no teams forming, but teaming is definitely the way to go if at all possible for you.

That may be obvious but I'd thought I'd toss my two Inf. in anyway. Toodaloo.

^ This.

It's hard to believe that if you did play before you don't have the rewards tokens you need. It's possible, but you had to basically just buy the box and play for one free month to do it. So the most likely case is something is wrong.

Check your reward tokens. Log into your character in game, and select Paragon Rewards from the Menu. If you only have one token, you made a new free account by accident, and you'll have to try to remember your old login name and password. NC Soft support can help you recover a password.

If you have 2 to 4 tokens, then I think you can use /tell to talk to folks, but you won't be able use broadcast or the global channels. You played for one month before, or had a six month subscription or less. This is unfortunate, but to reduce potential spam they do prevent you from using a few channels. Two to four tokens isn't bad though, as /tell is a big deal, and the newer global channels aren't strictly necessary to play the game.

If you have 5 or more tokens, you should be able to use any form of chat. If you can't, and the players on Help can't figure it out, contact support.

Regardless, everyone can use the help channel. (Use /hc in the chat box, or clicking on the Help tab usually switch you by default, although it's possible to configure your chat so it stays in some other channel.)

So you can use the Help channel to ask questions about your rewards and such, and you can also use that as a "broadcast" to talk to folks, get teams, etc. It's not impossible to play with low rewards, just slightly sucky.

Just thought I'd add here: the MM unlock is permanent on your account, and global. You pay something like $10 (I forget exactly, it's $10 or $12) but then Masterminds are unlocked for you on all servers, for as many as you want to play.

If you're sure you want to stay as premium and play without a subscription, I think a couple of unlocks are a pretty good deal and can really add to the whole "Premium play experience."

VIP is the best deal in the long run. But if you're interested only in the short run, unlocks will make your experience better.

I also thought I'd add: you have 36 slots now on each server. Rather than unlock and delete the Mastermind, just use the scrollbars underneath the character selection, find an empty slot, and unlock that. Then you always have your MM to come back to, should you decide to play Masterminds again. You can also re-arrange the character list by dragging and dropping, so any characters you currently play are easy to find.
