Paragon Points and Reward Question


Hopeling

 

Posted

I was considering getting more points and thought of something. Do the 'bonus' points for mass purchases give addition reward token? For example, and to make it easy I'll just use the most expensive: If I buy $100 worth of paragon points, which give me 1600 additional, will I be awarded 6 reward tokens(for the purchased 7200 points) AND 2 additional Reward tokens (For the 800 purchased plus the 1600 additional?)

Point is, I am effectively getting 9600 merits, which would give me 8 tokens. Is this TRUE or does it only count for the PURCHASED and IGNORE the ADDITIONAL? (AKA I'll only get 6 tokens for the 8000 purchased?)

Base logic:
I buy 8000, and get 1600 more for mass purchase.
Do I get credit for 8000 or 9600 toward Reward Tokens?

Thanks in advance,
ME! <3

The bonus points for large bundles do indeed count for reward tokens. The $100 bundle is 8 tokens (9600/1200).

I'm curious to this myself. Especially cause when I renewed my account yesterday the receipt shown I was not charged tax when before every time I renewed I was living in cali. Usually sub is 16 something and now it was 14.99. So $100 flat is appealing. Especially if it comes with 8 tokens rather than 6.

on another note, when do we get our tokens from our sub? I got my points but no token. resubbed and still no token. So paragon owes me two. Figure I'd get the newest one when this month laps but last month lapsed and no token so kinda confused.

You received the token for this month when Freedom launched. Points and Tokens for the month subscription were all front loaded at the Headstart. Now they are working on getting the awards on the schedule that is supposed to work, but are having some issues.

The Points are supposed to be awarded as soon as you pay for a sub, or on your monthly billing date if you are on a multi-month sub. Reward Tokens are supposed to be awarded at the end of your monthly sub, or on the billing date for multi-month subs. This would mean if you signed up today for a 6 month subscription, you would get 400 Points. In one month, you would get 400 Points and 1 Reward Token, with that repeating until you stop subscribing, when you at the very end of your paid time you would get your final Reward Token.

The Reward Token at the end of the month is sub-optimal, and the Devs realize that. They in fact were planning on awarding them at the start of the month, with a multi-month sub getting all of Tokens for that length of time up front. But they ran into technical problems with that, because the Reward Tokens are using the old Veteran Rewards coding. They are working on fixing that so the Tokens are working the way they want.

So the Token you were supposed to get at the end of your last month of subscription, you actually got at the beginning of the Headstart. The next one you will get at the end of the current month you are subscribed. Which means that you are going to have almost 2 months between them because of your billing date. I am only waiting 6 weeks for my second, so I guess I am better off than you, but not by much.

Except it seems that some of us didn't. For example, my main account, which has the 72-month vet reward, has been stuck at 32 tokens; I should have 33 (24 from vet rewards, 6 from yearly bonus, 1 from box, 1 for having an account, 1 for September).

In addition, it's worth pointing out that if this is your FIRST purchase of points, you get an extra bonus Token.
