So...what have I missed?


Father Xmas

 

Posted

About 6 or 7 months ago I stopped playing and I'm thinking about getting back into it. I was just wondering if someone could sum up all that has changed since I've been gone, which from what i can see is quite a lot. I'm currently downloading the launcher and am planning on messing around with a free account for a while just to see if it is still worth it.

Thank you for any and all information

Obviously free to play. However you will find it somewhat constricting due to the limited number of characters you can play on free, being locked out of incarnate play, locked out of some ATs and powersets as well as the consignment house and invention system. However some of these are unlocked depending how long you may have been previously subscribed. Read more about Freedom at ParagonWiki.

Content wise there's been a number of pay to play powersets as well as costume sets that have been introduced. Then there's the whole signature arcs "Who will die!" that's free for subscribers but not for non subscribers. Also you can now buy the ability to use capes and auras right from Level 1 at the Paragon Market. 160 PP each I think.

There's a big change with rolling a new character. Like Going Rogue, you can now start a character of any AT, hero or villain and then choose if you are a hero or villain. This is now done in a bombed out Galaxy Park tutorial and with new story arcs for the low level zones.

Also they have revamped the travel powers so the primary movement power is available at Level 4 (Fly, Superspeed, Super Jump and Teleport) and they've added a 5th power to each pool that unlocks at level 14 (first three powers now unlock at Level 4, the remaining two powers now unlock at Level 14).

You did miss a new Halloween event and right now there's the winter event going on that has a few twists added for this year.

I think those are the highlights.

If you don't want to you don't have to start a new account - in fact, your should probably play your old one - it will have more perks even as a free (or "Premium") account than a new (aka "Free") account.

if you have any inventions, they may or may not work. If not, don't forget you can switch to a second build and make that an SO build.

To see what perks you have, when on the character select screen, choose "Paragon Rewards" - it will show you what perks you have from VIP as a free-play player.
