Discussion: Announcing a New Paragon Market Pilot Program - Freebie Friday!

I wouldn't mind if the freebie was a Super Pack every week.

Well, yes, they are really bad at anything involving naming things these days, though this is far from the worst, and may be fixed 'soon', if they go with the following when it is finalized.
And yes, I also agree with the 48 hour world time "day" thing, so that anyone can log in at any time during their friday and claim the 'prize', seems like the only way to go and keep with the name (though I also rather liked 'Thievery Thursday' too), but hopefully that will be the case when it is out of the 'test' phase.

I would like to see it be the same item for everyone as it stands, as I am not a big fan of random, but failing that I hope if they do go to a randomized system that there are checks in place so people are getting things they can use, and not something they have already or other issues that may arise. Of course a 'new' item every week could get difficult to pull off too, even if it is something relatively simple, like a pair of boots or a belt or something.

The way things are sounding though this sounds pretty kewl. And by 'account wide' it sounds as though they are planning on something worth getting, which actually kind of surprises me, when he said random I got worried, super pack like things popped into my head. But the more I 'hear' the more it sounds like they are trying to make it something people will want. So I say 'Awesome, good deal'. And hope this isn't another of those things that gets started and forgotten about. But, either way, free stuff is free stuff.
I look forward to seeing what it will be tomorrow. and hope it's something worth having.
[though if it is a super pack I can see myself not bothering, well maybe to get that one last costume piece i didn't get with the 3 tokens i used to try and get the costume set, but that's beside the point and I don't care much about the helm, point is I can see missing it and not caring, and I 'assyoume' that they were hoping we would want to get it]
{and for the record, this is me being really positive about something, optimism isn't really in my nature... in case anyone wants to count this as 'complaining', I am a negative person, this is about as positive as I can be, , a roaring endorsement as it were, I even used words like 'hope', lol}

There was a lot of confusion on Union about it, thougt it would be up already (damn you time zones!)

But I do think this is a great idea, hope we get something interesting, and if not... Well it's free =D

BTW; I think this is a great idea

Yeh I just realized after I posted it... Thought it already was friday >.>

Already edited it, but the shame is on me, not fast enough :-P

Free gifts from Paragon Studios just for logging in and playing one of my favorite games?

Thank You!!

Y'know, to start we really should be shunning Andy for being a NOOB! What a total NOOB Andy is. And furthermore, and this is my opinion nay-sayers, but I think 'Freedom' is the worst thing to happen to CoX and therefore any 'sale' or featured items are worthless. And again grammar nuts or anyone who loves CoX, this is my opinion so blame me for everything that my cynical self types. That said, I think it's completely unbelievable that devs would actually charge any VIP for powersets. BTW did you know Andy is a NOOB, so his main interest is to keep the ship afloat. W00t, no cuss words!

Still got 15:30 to go before the promotion starts, Rabbit. If you're going by BST time, then it's available 12:00AM (midnight) 11 May through 11:59PM that same night.

EDIT:

They're pretty much confusing and terrible.

ok if you pick it it will not be random, as i am assuming the item of the week will be reviewed.

how about making all the items avail every week and have the RNG pick it?

ok time for my meds now

:-)

At this point, I would welcome a banning for complaining about a Redname. The only real beef I have w/ Andy is when someone was complaining about Freedom making more money for the devs (not me) knowing that Andy was online and listening, Andy joked about swimming in a pool of money like Scrooge McDuck. It seems as if he makes everthing a joke. Yes this is a game for having fun, but taunting customers, VIP or not, does not sit right w/ me. I however do share the sentiment that Freedom has shifted some focus away from the game and therefore is detremental to development. Again these are my OPINIONS and you may agree or disagree with them and I encourage anyone, especially Rednames to express their own opinions about Freedom and what I consider a gimmick of worthless freebies.

I forgot to mention, a person was complaining in the Help channel shortly after which Andy taunted them alluding to himself swimming in money like Scrooge McDuck. It certainly wasn't 'helpful'. Very shortly afterward he disconnected

I will agree it certainly isn't a harsh taunt but still inappropriate for someone like him to reproach in a sarcastic manner. I know that the devs aren't getting rich off of Freedom but I am curious as to what my subscription fee is going towards and why new powersets cost me points/money.

I'll say the main reason I do no like free stuff is that I have no use for it. If anything, the non-combat pets add to an already-cluttered temp power section, which could, if for only a split-second, affect gameplay of getting a temp power such as the Orestes Rifle. And I may be the minority, but I do not care for any new costumes, super packs, or anything else. I would be content wearing solid color spandex if that meant the game worked correctly. Yes, perhaps I should unsubscribe, but I do like many of the people who play the game regardless of anyone who designs it. I do not hate Freebie Fridays, just the thought of receiving a silly present instead of the devs focusing seriously on something like PvP.

Again forgot to say, almost everything I say is an opinion, so don't take it personal. I am a very cynical person and just like the game the way it was.
