Neat! Now I can start working toward that set of VEAT ATOs.

Excellent news. Been looking forward to them since their announcement. Perhaps with a little trepidation, but it's been a while since something really shook up the market.

No alternative way to get the Elemental Order costume?

Then no ******* payment.

This isn't exactly new information, Tech. Little late to get angry about it now.

Well at least I can now plan to blow 10,000 Paragon Points to get the Black Wolf tomorrow then.

Big pass on these for me. I'd rather earn the ATOs in game and don't want the Elemental Order stuff bad enough to support virtual scratch tickets.

Depending on how lucky I get with ATOs and Enhancement converters in the 10 packs I'll be snagging tomorrow with the 2 Paragon Reward tokens I've got sitting around doing nothing, I might have to expend very little else to get the set.

Apparently you can't turn in tokens for them just yet. Though according to this post http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...9&postcount=46 that will soon be rectified.

Bundles are up.

One pack for 80 points.
12 packs for 840 points.
24 packs for 1440 points.

I got a good chunk of the Elemental Order costume, three pieces, with my first buck.

I bought several packs. In my opinion, they're worth it, as an occasional treat. Just don't go overboard, if you know you shouldn't. Spend responsibly.

If we complain about the Super Pack-only costume as soon as we learn about it, it's "too early to make a fuss, wait for more details".

If we complain while it's on Beta, it's "still on Beta, they may change it yet".

If we complain when it comes out and the alternate was of getting it is *still* not here, it's "well it's not exactly new information, it's too late to complain now".

That'll get you, at best, a 50% chance at one. For reasonable levels of certainty of getting one, you're looking at around 100,000 points.

CactusBrawler · 02-14-2012 04:10 AM

Bah, my sub runs out in a couple of months.

I'm not purchasing these, and I'm not giving Paragon any more money.

Hell I feel betrayed enough that I'm canceling my pre-order of guild wars 2, its put me right off their parent company as well.

Aren't Super Packs going to drop rarely off of bosses, too?

Issue 16 made me feel like this.

In this specific incidence, people complained, the complaints were heard, and while alternative methods to get the ATOs were added, at this time, there is no alternative method to get the Costume. It has been oft requested, and the developers haven't said that there will never be another method to get the costume, but at current time, it is a Super Pack exclusive.

I don't really see how it's different from the pre-order arachnos helmets.
