  1. If they are ranged equivalents of kick and boxing, then any time spent on them is wasted. I can't think of too many times I'd want a ranged set mule or more speedbump powers on the way to something decent.
  2. I have difficulty justifying a "real" travel power with ninja/beast run. One of those and a jump pack gives me everything I need travel-wise.

    Ragged pants?

    I have it on a female character and just checked and it's not invalid.

    They front loaded the reward, which is a problem if you want repeatable content.

    There is one trainer on each map. If there are two green people, then the second is a SSA contact. Even if you don't know what map it's on, it takes a grand total of 3 seconds to check after you zone in.

    To me, a God mode team is one where no one dies and everything gets steamrolled. I promise you with some of these combos being listed, you might not all die on the harder TF/Trials/SF's with multiple EB's/AV's/Boss ambushes, etc.- but someone is going to.
    If no one dies, how would you veng?

    I stand by what I said. Judging people is fine. Running away from new player cooties reveals the presence of negative personality traits, making it a fine basis for making a judgment.

    The problem with the reward tokens currently is they favor buying points over subscribing. Since they have stated that their goal with Freedom is to encourage subscriptions more, that particular imbalance seems counter to their stated goal.

    What do we think about this subject?
    I had to read that one 6 times just to figure out what you thought was wrong with it.

    And after 7 years, there are still some people who call a group of "MOBs" a "mob", so don't count on ever being able to have correct terminology.

    That requires playing it once.
  11. Why is it their responsibility to preemptively speak up about something they might not be aware of? Here's a better idea - if you're doing a speed run, announce that when forming.

    That's what I heard anyway.
    Which means 7 days until I actually get points of some kind. It still seems strange to have a monthly award and go a full 34 days getting nothing. There is a nagging feeling I am missing something.

    You could imagine that exact same thing if it were modeled mechanically as a pbaoe. Given the fixed range, it is the same effect shifted slightly forward.

    Making choices based on good reasons is better than making choices based on bad reasons. Or, to state it another way, judging people is not bad; stupidly judging people is bad.

    Well, for many of my characters, dying in lambda has a penalty of 6-7 additional deaths trying to rejoin the group. A similar thing can happen in keyes too if you don't have a good self heal. BAF is different, but that's part of the reason it is run more than the others.

    What you call "nice", I call being run intelligently as a business. They certainly were not doing it because we were friends.

    Doesn't work like that.
    Actually, it does. I've never been refused a refund at a movie theater. I still think they should have paid me for watching that half hour of The Medallion, though.

    B: Chalk it up to experience and not order something new until it has been critiqued.
    C: Threaten to take your biznatch elsewhere.
    D: Talk to an actual representative of the restaurant.
    "I can't eat that, it's terrible" seems to work rather well.

    So is SS actually. If you want a fair comparison, you shouldn't pick the strongest set.
  23. Yea, I started a linked free account just so I could check the premium reward levels. It won't even bother showing them if you're VIP.
  24. I have both, and SJ is a better design. Several of the finisher powers don't even require a full buildup to 3 in order to have additional effect, so you could just poke buttons at random and still get some effect from the combos.

    Currently tokens are being awarded only at the end of the month play period and are being awarded based on playtime, not subscribed time. Basically, no one should get new tokens before Oct 14 (a month after release), but beyond that it's a random guess as to which day it will come on.

    I'm betting that there are plenty of people who can prove this post false, but this is how it is being explained by support.
