Discussion: Freedom Fridays on Facebook!

I'm not sure this is the best way to interact with the community. The format is terrible and the questions have no focus. Are you sure you guys want to do this every Friday until Freedom launches?

So far, the only question that has been answered is one that was already announced: that i21 would come with two costume sets. I hope we get some new information rather than a rehash of what's already been said in the forums and on the Freedom web page.

You're not missing much. Here's a sample.

You know only people that use Facebook can do this, right?

Still, many people have legitimate questions that just aren't being answered. What is the point of having a question/answer period if they don't give any answers.

It's really annoying. For example of some questions:

You will be revamping Atlas Park/Mercy Island with the new issue, will the older starting arcs be available through Oroborus? Same applies to the older tutorials (Breakout/Outbreak).

Also, as a badge collector, what will happen to the veteran reward badges?

Are there plans to sell Costume Codes in the Paragon Market?

Will you be giving free and premium players a chance to earn Paragon Points without buying them (similar to what Lord of the Rings Online does where you can earn a set number of Turbine points with each deed completed)?

This is probably a tiny, petty question, but I'll ask anyway -- any chance for the Arachnos Chest emblem that was an exclusive to the CoV Collector's pack to be available for purchase with Paragon Points instead? This would also apply to other older costume parts with similar situations, of course.

I understand Master minds/Controllers and epic ATs are restricted from Free and Premium accounts, what if I purchased City of Villans specifically for Mastermind at launch will I lose access to that character (playtime 1 year on and off since beta)

For premium players that are in a Super Group and decide to go to the free to play mode.. Will they still be in the Super Group or be kicked out once they switch to the F2P?

So what's going to happen with expired trial accounts that haven't been upgraded in however long? Given there are always people asking about the name wipe and it hasn't been run in quite some time, wouldn't it be a good idea to do so *before* you (hopefully) draw in freebie people?

If I were to play premium with an Incarnate character, would I still have access to the incarnate powers and abilities I've already earned, or would those specific powers be locked out until I renewed my VIP membership?

Will NC Soft time cards still be applicable after the change?

Okay, just had a thought. I know that if you're a VIP and you go Premium and had made a MM before then you need PP to be able to unlock the use of MMs in general again. But what about ATs you unlock by other means? Example -- I recently made a Peacebringer and I go Premium. Will I be able to choose that Peacebringer as one of the toons I unlock or do I have to use PP for that as well?

Will various preorder perks be available in the Paragon Store? ie Prestige Power Slide and the GameStop Going Rouge enhancements (Might of the Empire, Syndicate Techniques, Resistance Tactics, Clockwork Efficiency, Will of the Seers)

Will New Issues cost points in the future to unlock? And Will Vet rewards that we have now CONTINUE to be available to all new toons we create in the future, or will we have to use points to unlock them under the new system?

I know I read it, but I can't find it now, but How about the unclaimed Vet rewards we have now?

Those are good questions. Good luck with that.

The goal doesn't seem to be to provide new information, but to reiterate known information to a broader audience. From the questions, its fairly obvious that the basics of Freedom are not understood by many. Not a big deal. Just like how I shouldn't expect to see breaking info when I read a interview about CoH.

And the first session's over, with zero new information I can see. I guess I misunderstood what this was about.
