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. |
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.

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.
can anyone log in yet? I cant. it says Public access to this server has been disabled

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.

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.

Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) 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)?

During development of Going Rogue, Positron stepped down as Lead Designer to work full-time as the leader of the Incarnate Strike Team. After the launch of the Incarnate System, he resumed his mantle. (IIRC)
@CrimsonOriole
when the servers are gonna be up?
Quote:
I would love a red comment on this, because I don't recall any announcement of it or any such a thing, and the wiki currently has Positron listed as "working on Game Design" and War Witch as "Lead Designer." Official confirmation one way or the other would be nice.

Positron stepped aside to work on the Oncarnate system - now that it's been successfully launched and integrated into the game, he doesn't need to have such a hands-on approach to its development as much as before, so he's stepped back into his Lead Designer post.

On the Official Site, there is an ad on the top right for the COH Freedom VIP Starter Kit. When I click on it, it takes me to the NCSoft store but gives an error. What is this VIP Starter kit?

Check out Mathematicians gone wonky in The Black Theorem (Arc 3608)!
I thought he was busy with animated hair lol
Really looking forward to playing Freedom on live. I just got home and there was an update waiting. Only took a min or so. So far I've been able to view the new splash screen and log in...however the servers are disabled from the public

It was during the Ustream... aka they announced it live. You could scrub through the recording I suppose and find the part where they mention it...

It's a video live broadcast, Ustream is. You could see if someone (Von kreiger usually) has a recap thread already going.

Only 5 hours for the fricking 2.5gb download. Real cockup there with not having a predownload period. 
I absolutely love everything, but hate the sound of MARTy.
Also, does the concealable thingies include Hasten/SS?
