Hell no. I am fed up with Vanguard Merits. Give us a story arc to unlock it for the account -really, really, really- necessary, but I hate having costume pieces that'd work great for characters locked away till level 35.

If I want to play a futuristic knight type character with the Vanguard Blade and Shield... wait, I never can, because I start playing the character and just go "No, this feels off." And delete it, because it doesn't look as it should and won't until I'm level 35 + amount of merits needed to get both.

Same goes for Roman armour and the defeat enemy unlocks and so on.

Well, the resistance seemed to be having fun with their little code talk, so we didn't wanna be left out.

Why would we need to do that? There's no trolls in Praetoria!

So you plead innocent?

Accusations do count when they're made up of lawyers!

I find it odd that folks don't have her on ignore...

Of course, even if I didn't... they would still amount to the same thing.

Back to the original topic, I just hope we can actually *use* that armor at some point. And the whole set, not the few random bits we got for the Resistance and Praetorian Police. Really, the Tron glow on the newer parts is a nice effect, but it's hard to use because *absolutely* nothing aside from those few parts has that effect.

Not true. I think it would be easy to toss a few of those pieces on as accent to almost any tech-based armor. Of course, the issue I see is the sheer volume of tech pieces this game already has (not that those new ones aren't beautiful).

While I understand the notion that there should be a carrot motivating players, after the first hero to hit 35, it does get extremely old having to unlock pieces for each with only 15 levels to go until 50 for each successive player. Same problem with auras at 30... I have a number of characters who looked "wrong" until they could get their auras, and it was just lame.

Same problem with capes back in the day, although now you can get shoulder capes as a Vet, and buy some capes... which sort of obliterates the ol' "Honor Hero 1" business now, doesn't it?

Unlocks are problematic, for sure.

i think the pieces should be unlocked by having Going Rogue. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
