I'm at the T6, no way i can get this in time cause i can't afford to waste about $200 or more just to get these costume sets.

Well, Celestial pieces are still there, so I'm guessing it may be there a bit longer than the original plan of 3 months. Now, of course, you still have several tokens to go, but who knows how things will take shape in the future.

I find your lack of signature disturbing.

Well at least you have the -option- to do that even if it's not cheap. |

Before CoH:Freedom people who were years behind on vet awards had NO option to get the latest stuff. *shrugs*

Ah yes, but also before CoH: Freedom, rewards were *not* removed after just a few months of being available...

I've agreed with this in the beta forums but I'll say it here as well...
"this"
Fire looks great...Ice? eeh...not so much. It's okay but not as great as Fire.
Definitely like the waterfall and the wings/other backpacks/etc...

You mean along with overcharging off the EU playerbase for buying points?

But there are people in the US who also agree or disagree on whether the prices this game charges for things is fair regardless. You're quibbling over a variable that is not significant - as a US player I might decide that the prices are too high even WITHOUT worrying about paying with a different currency. *shrugs*

True, but then again your points and base sub fee are within 1c of each other, so it is an easy option... however the EU players pay one rate for Sub, and a *higher* rate for points (and to be honest 13.4% price difference *is* significant...)|

*edit* I would like to point out as well, than an EU player can *ONLY* pay for up to 6 months of game time in advance in one go... anything else beyond that is multiple transactions
Several of these pieces are quite nice. I anticipate finding uses beyond their original intention.
Is the ice texture for the gloves and boots titled "Ice Baby" for everyone, or just the German client?

Pics, please!

I'd like to, but whenever I try to take screen shots in the costume creator, the image I paste into the paint program just ends up being pure black for no reason I can divine.
Do you have the Snipping Tool available in Vista or Windows 7 (under accessories).

Apparently I do. I'll give that a try.
Edit: Okay, trying to use the snipping tool turns the the entire screen grey if I'm in the costume creator.
Edit 2: And turning off the screen overlay option when snip is active turns the entire screen black.

I wonder if that was a working title for the textures that slipped through to live? |

Okay, switching to Window Mode allowed me to take a screen shot.
I hope the new war mace option is called "Hammer Time"

I figure I might as well move my Beta screenshots here now that this is Live. Yeah, I'm proud of those two and I'm a showoff. I apologise.

And this is Stardiver, the predecessor to the above, who is also an automaton from the beginning of time, who dives into the hearts of living stars to syphon the heat, pressure and nuclear energy therein:

Depending on the number of tokens you need to buy, every 5 tokens via paragon points is essentially 6 months of sub fee give or take a £... for 6 tokens via Paragon Points, you pay £61.20 = just under 7 months sub fee
((Rates given above are £8.99/month for Sub, £10.20 for 1200 points (bonus of 1 Reward Token)).
Color me unimpressed and the main reason why i unsubbed.
I wouldn't be as fussed if they gave us the Reward Tokens for multi month subs up front, but they dont. We still have to wait on a month by month basis to get our reward tokens.
