Tier 9 -> Tier 9 VIP


Father Xmas

 

Posted

So, I have enough tokens to go from Tier 9 to Tier 9 VIP, but my question is this: is my only progression path to Tier 9 VIP to purchase the line of Tier 9 stuff? I really don't have a need/use for anything in that tier, and if possible would like to skip it.

Thanks in advance.

The majority of tier 9 items are temp items. Like the signature summon etc. You can get an infinite supply of them. Then there are the VIP only items. those are currently just the celestial armor. The plan was for those to rotate every few months.

but that plan was based on getting tokens at the same time as you make your subscription payment, which is currently borked. Therefore they are deciding what to do about it.

So, if you don't like the temps, and you don't want celestial armor, hold onto your tokens and see what they come out with later.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Congratulations!

Your wish has been granted.

You don't need to buy any of the consumables in Tier 9 in order to buy the Tier 9 VIP stuff. I bought the entire Celestial Set without buying anything from Tier 9, and intend to save up future Rewards Tokens to buy the next set that rotates in.


New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)

Great! And how do you do that? I currently can't seem to buy anything in Tier 9 VIP.

What happens if a ViP gets Celestial Armor and then drops to Premium status?
Can they still use it?

You must fill up Tier 8 before you can buy anything from Tier 9.

While I wouldn't say to quote me on this, Paragon Studios has made great efforts to drive home the point that anything you pay for you keep. Since you spent reward tokens earned by spending money in game to get those costume bit's I'd be rather shocked if you no longer had access to those costume bits if you dropped to premium. That said you would not be able to get any new tier 9 VIP items that were added if you remained at premium level.

If you have filled in Tier 8 you should be able to pick any slot in Tier 9 regular or VIP.

Once you have filled in all of Tier 8 and unlock Tier 9, just think of the Tier 9 VIP slots as just 3 extra options for reaching Tier 9 and having a subscription. Don't think of them as another Tier.
