Unable to choose Archetype

I just downloaded the new patch and went to create a new villain. I have two arch. soldiers so I thought I'd try a widow but now it wont let me choose the VEAT archetypes at all. Why???

There is a slight bug that unflags your account for Epic Archetypes. Simply log onto any lvl 50 Villain to re-flag your account, then relog and create your VEAT.

---

Does this bug mean if you don't currently have a 50 you need ot level a new one to make a new Widow or Soldier?

Yep. if you deleted your level 50 Villain... you'd best get to leveling up the Next Contender...

This is why whenever someone says they want to delete their level 50 character(s)...I always, always make sure to tell them this. If they delete their only level 50 of one or the other faction, they suffer the consequences if this were to happen.

It happens on more patch updates than I'm comfortable with.

Why isn't the account flag stored as a database entry? All it should take is one lvl 50 to flag that account. It shouldn't be based on the actual character being in existence past the initial point.

[/ QUOTE ] AFAWK it is stored exactly as you describe. And you are right, it shouldn't matter if we delete a character or not. We should still be flagged as ale to create Epic ATs. But somehow since i12, it seems to unflag for reasons we (players) don't know. They said they fixed it once and it seemed to go away, but it looks like it still pops up now and again (seems many i12 bugs have been coming back lately).

The real question is "Why in the hell would you delete a lvl $50?"

Surely the time that you put into getting that is worth the $10 to buy a new slot or a server transfer.

---

These days, you can get a 50 in under 2 weeks. And I mean a legitimate 50, nothing PLed.

You can, maybe. I sure can't.

They should switch the flag from actually having a level 50 toon to the level 50 badge which can't be deleted and the system can always check is there.

[/ QUOTE ]It's much older than I12. I lost Kheldian access once before we had IOs, so pre-I9.
