Am I correct in understanding that Premium players cannot use Global Chat Channels?

We have no idea. I've seen the theory posed that it will happen on October 1st, but this is just a theory and not fact at all.

Well, I'm back and bought a month of service after being offline for the past few issues.
I'm logging in and am trying to respec my level 50 villians with Ancillary Powers, but the option doesn't appear when it reaches the correct level spot. The Epic choices appear, but not the Ancillary ones. Am I missing a step? Is there something I need to do first?

You have to do one of the villain patron arcs to unlock the villain epic/ancillary pools. Once you unlock one, though, they are all unlocked for respecing. The hero pools should show up automatically.

If by Ancillary you mean the standard APP and Epic you mean Patron Power Pools, then i have to ask if you're respeccing a VEAT? VEATs do not get any access at all to APPs, only the Patron pools.

Yes. The points are money, and are not a VIP feature (the VIP feature is them auto-magically giving you the 400/550 every month :P)|

As far as what you would keep vs. lose as a VIP - if it's in the market see the descripton. if it states "VIP Content" then it's something you get for free, but would need to pay for to use as a Premium. Such as Time Manipulation. And yes, if you don't buy it, and drop to prem, you do have characters with it locked out.

PPP - Patron Power Pools - Must unlock via a patron story arc. Patrons are regular villain contacts, as such must be a Villain or Rogue to talk to them. Once unlocked, your's to keep even if you go Blue.
APP - Ancillary Power Pools - The "hero" epic power pools. No need to unlock, everyone gets them at 35+ regardless of Alignment. Even Loyalist and Resistance
Still hoping for some kind of balance to give heroic PPPs. Maybe some kind of Guild/Society/Group PP? :P

Thanks. You just saved me a LOT of gray hairs

No problem. On the flipside Kheldians cannot access APPs or PPPs, so VEATs still have it better than them.

I'm in a similar situation on my main Premium account (just hit reward level 6) and have 9 slots. That was the number of unlockable slots I had as a subscriber. Yes, I expected 7, too.

No offense, but I cannot stand answers like this. According to board rules, we cannot discuss other games...so don't bother referring to them either. Doesn't really matter what other games that go f2p do...this is CoH, a game which has a more loyal following. We deserve better treatment.

No, you are not correct about Inventions. You can access and play characters who have IOs slotted, even if you don't have access to the Invention System (via 30-day license or permanent unlock). Your IOs simply don't work; you don't get any enhancement value from them, procs/globals don't work, and set bonuses don't work. |
In regard to IOs, does this mean the slotted IOs would give no boost whatsoever and would be the same as having an empty slot? If so this would become a major issue. People paid a lot of influence for those things and to have to drop regular enhancements over them would be costly, especially if they switch back and forth from Premium to VIP for financial reasons.
Since this is a common Freedom Question thread, I have some in regard to Supergroups:
I am over 6 years and have filled all my Tier 8 slots and below. I am Superleader of my Supergroup.
SUPERGROUP BASE QUESTIONS:
1) Will I be able to pay my supergroup base rent?
2) Will I be able to edit my base?
3) Will I be able to access equipment such as invention and work tables?
4) Will I be able to place personal items?
5) Will I be able to access storage?
1) No.
3) Yes.
4) Yes.
2, 5) As long as the rank below Super Leader has permission to do so.

If you do not have access to the Inventions system (via license or rewards unlock), nothing in the invention system works. No enhancement value, no set bonuses, no salvage/recipe drops, no crafting, no slotting.

Note that that was why I didn't actually name any other games in my previous post. Until the new rules go into effect, I'm limited in what I can say regarding games (which is stupid, as this is a game).
