I absolutely love everything, but hate the sound of MARTy.

Also, does the concealable thingies include Hasten/SS?

Short of spending real money to hit Tier 9, does this mean that the Celestial Armor pieces will forever be out of reach for my characters?

I'll admit, I am still having trouble understanding the nuances of the new (and, admittedly, rather disliked by me) Rewards Program. So, if someone can help me with this, I'd be very appreciative.
Hello Eden's Fall,

The Tier 9 VIP rewards are on a rotation. When they phase out, they will not be forever unavailable. Rather, they will be replaced by something else for a while, but at a later point in time, you will have the option of acquiring the set when it gets rotated back in.

Interesting! I previously scrolled down to Exalted just fine, but now I can't.

The scrollbar bug was just acknowledged on Ustream; they know and they're working on it.

Just a question:

What happens if we want two sets of T9 VIP rewards?

It seems as though once we've selected T9 rewards once, we're sorta stuck.

While not specifically mentioned, this also affects the Terrorize effect on Assassin's Strike. Thus, enemies will cower in fear if you kill at target as opposed to only being scared if the target survives.

Man, that's a lot of reading to be done on the OP.


Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

D'ya think this will also affect Extracted Essence? It'd be nice to make my WS even more awesome!

Also, did the Regen changes not make it this issue, or did they just not mention them in the patch notes?

I'm confused... is Positron the Lead Designer again, or is this an error? I was under the impression that War Witch was the current Lead Designer.

Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

Thats an impressive amount of work.

Has there been an announcement about when this goes live to the masses (f2p-ers)?
