Premium question -- MMs and Controllers

I believe that the character would still be locked out, even if the slot the character was in was unlocked.

That's unfortunate -- it could go a long way to soothing some upset people locked out of those characters.

@Thexder
What upset? They're getting everything else *FOR FREE*.
If they're upset then they're fundamentally misunderstanding the premise of the game model.

If you're Tier 5 or higher, you get them unlocked permanently... I really don't see how anyone has any ground to stand on with claims of being 'upset'. You can unlock them for less than a month of subscription if you've not been playing for long enough to already have them unlocked, and you still get free access to the other 8 basic ATs, along with the vast majority of the other game content.
Preem status still seems like a fairly good deal to me.

How does someone "unlock them for less than a month of subscription"? I don't see that on the unlocks section of the market.

Yes, while I can see the annoyance, paying a one time fee to unlock something you can play ever after for free seems too good of a deal to me. I would have made it a monthly fee, like the $2 per month for the auction house.
$12.50 for a permanent unlock. That doesn't seem like a lot to play your favorite archetype for free.

Srsly? At least, it's been all over their press releases, MMs and Controllers will be pay-for content for Premium. How did you not know it was available?
Anyway, it's Content -> Archetypes. And I didn't know either until I clicked on a few things in the store just now. This stuff isn't hard.

First, I do know that they are premium and don't have a problem with it personally, so don't be an ***. I was inquiring on behalf of other people about unlocking pre-existing characters.|

Second, thanks for pointing out where it was. I was looking under system unlocks, which clearly wasn't correct and obviously other people have missed or had to spend some more time looking for it (like yourself).

Which isn't hard. Took me less than 60 seconds.
And I was wrong about the cost. MMs and Controllers are 1200 points to unlock, not 1000 like the other four. $15 even.

I just wanted to point out, you need to use a global unlock to open the slot, then you need to unlock the AT. Just having the AT license is not enough to play them without using the slot unlock. (I realize you probably know this, but I have already ran into people in game that didn't, so I wanted to spell it out.)

Well I'm glad you're not in charge of the Market. I'd much rather pay a one time cost for stuff than what amounts to a reduced sub. The whole point of these transactions is to avoid paying a monthly sub.|

Honestly I think you need to stop posting, all you do is jump into freedom topics and play the rabid fanboy that no one who isn't already paying money likes, and is just going to turn people off, and at the same time reinforce the delusions of grandeur the devs seem to have about what their stuff is worth.

Can global slots be used to unlock pre-existing MMs and Controllers? Obviously access to them is a PP reward, but I'm just wondering if that is for the creation of new ones. Has anyone tested this?
