Arc# 137705: Rage Within The Machine. A mystery in five acts. Robots are rising up and attacking hero and villain alike. Who is responsible? Heroic, Very Long, Story arc, no EBs or AVs, no "defeat all", no Ninjitsu. For level 30 and up.

And the bees will be female, and wear sashes.

Mine too, because I can use it over and over and over (though I admit I probably won't because it's a very specific item) without it disappearing.

If I'm understanding right, this past month was just a test; that's what "pilot program" means, after all. It was only ever intended to run for a few weeks.

Now they'll look over data, crunch numbers, and figure out whether to bring it back permanently, and if so, exactly how and what changes to make (like, for example, making the "Friday" part a little more obvious to the largest segments of the player base). These past few freebies have been mostly for data-gathering purposes.


FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

(Or are you just saying you don't have an opportunity to claim it before it expires due to other obligations?)
It's certainly not based on local time since the original announcement of Freebie Fridays gives the time range in several different time zones.

And if you have other obligations, then what are you doing posting on the forum?

Posting from a work computer that doesn't have CoH installed on it, maybe?

Yes, blue satin, and if you have the snowflake emote the flakes will stay on their nose and reyelashes.

(btw- strong thread everyone; some of your best thought processes yet. Keep it up)

K where the hell is the free stuff at this week?

The past month was a pilot program, for testing/data-gathering purposes. It's over.

Maybe it'll come back later. Maybe not.

This is correct.

There's science to be done and experiments to run.

Never fear though, for it is entirely likely that Freebie Friday will return Soon™.

When it returns, can we get a free temp summon citizen power. I mean citizens are so powerful, they can push a level 50 fully incarnate villian in the street out of their way without fearing any repercussions.

I'd like to thank the devs for the offering the test/pilot freebie fridays. Hope to see it back soon.


NCSOFT may take away our servers and beloved dev team, but they can't break our spirit and community. with all your power, NCSOFT, your victory will be bitter-sweet. I, personally will be there to laugh at you when you face-plant into the ground.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Thank you devs for the freebie fridays and I hope that we have them again soon.

If/when this comes back you may want to consider a 12AM PDT/PST cutoff. Or make the Monday cutoff permanent.

You ever done the TPN incarnate trial? Citizens can do thousands of points of damage to you just by throwing a rock.

Thanks for making a liar out of me! LOL
I told a poster on another thread that the Tricorner hat that he had been clamoring for for some time was spotted as a Freebie Friday item on test, and that maybe it would come out this week or next. And now no Freebie Friday! :P
Enjoyed the surprise of a Freebie each Friday, hope it returns, and many thanks for the free stuff!
