Tried out the aura last night, thought it was pretty "meh". Oh well, whaddya want for nothing....

Y'know, "Not-Kirby dots" is really iconic/classic a look to tie purely to this one system. Here's hoping there's another way to get this eventually.
Insert standard use your own gorram board rant here.
I for one do not gamble, do not like competition, which is why i do not pvp, and posting bits on other sight is all ok but i for one would just like the option to buy what i like and want plain and simple and not jump through all these dumb hoops.
Some of my suggestions from posts i have done

This is the type of idea where I think Black Pebble would be better off going into Warburg and offering a free code for whomever takes him out.
H: Blaster 50, Defender 50, Tank 50, Scrapper 50, Controller 50, PB 50, WS 50
V: Brute 50, Corruptor 50, MM 50, Dominator 50, Stalker 50, AW 50, AS 50
Top 4: Controller, Brute, Scrapper, Corruptor
Bottom 4: (Peacebringer) way below everything else, Mastermind, Dominator, Blaster

You're not SUPPOSED to be able to, but that 12 days of Coralax event had one batch where the NC site crashed - I was in the habit of submitting two or three codes to hedge my bets (hadn't worked prior), and when I inputted them the server crashed from around 200 people trying to input at once - when it came back up I had 3 codes applied to my account. I only get one power though.

And I do hope they plan on adding this, the Wisp Aura and the Facepalm emote especially to the Paragon Market or Astral/Empyrean Merit market. They would probably make a killing off putting it in the PM though.

Wouldn't giving costume parts to PVPers be kind of pointless? PVPers use the random button in the costume creator, right? (j/k ...mostly)

Maybe having the special pvp costume pieces equipped make procs do additional damage?

I was one of the Virtue recipients: snagged the second code. That first screenshot in the quote is actually me on National-Guard: I went to Pocket D for an hour or so to help people that missed Zwillinger or couldn't get into AP1 get a look at it, then posted the screenie for people who couldn't make it.|

Edit: The base color is white, by the way, so the bubbles are fully tintable using any of the colors available in the editor. Darker colors seemed to fade the aura slightly, so I used a brighter one to make it show up more clearly.
I feel for some of you that really want the aura, but it really just boiled down to a matter of luck. I don't think anyone did anything as complicated as using scripts to claim the codes. I'm sure it'll open up to everyone at some point. It would be kind of a waste of time and effort to make an aura and only give it out to a tiny handful of people.
Is the NCsoft site working for ANYONE?!?! 
i keep getting an error message that the website cant be found

Something for ppl to use Seems to work fine for me. They had a really long extended maintenance earlier, but it should have ended hours ago.

Not necessarily. You balance the costs of creating and implementing the code and assets against the predicted increase in revenue accrued from the winners and the related splash effect. In other words, it's just using developers to create marketing materiel.

There's an odd untrusted something or other screen when I tried to get to it via firefox. Once I clicked the things that said I would make exceptions for the site, it allowed me to log in.
I usually have fairly good luck with these giveaways (I snagged a Coralax costume and the Origin Pack), but that was with the old "giant image full of dozens of codes" method, not this current "five codes at a time, keep watching for hours" Twitter giveaway.
I'm hoping they'll release the aura via some other (in-game or at least in-Market) method soon, too. I think it'd be perfect for at least one of my characters, who was inspired by a Silver Age Marvel character.
Did anyone get a Twitter code in a Direct Message this morning?
If so, was it a North America code? And what costume was it?
Well I know I was in the timeframe, but I don't think I will get one.
Using my phone, I didn't understand or even know what a 're-tweet' was.. so I did a respond instead.
I did accidentally click a retweet on the web site, but that was to Positron who even sent something back.
I went and did the re-tweet thing after.. but sadly I am not sure I did anything right so I highly doubt if I got anything.
Nothing in my message box anyways.
** Bugs me that I didn't/don't know anything or enough about something so easy as Twitter.

It is impossible to add a code for the same thing to the same account. I think they person was saying that some people were greedy and claiming multiple codes to use 1 for each of their accounts instead of just 1 code for 1 account and letting other people have a chance to claim it.

PM Zwillinger about it. I'm sure he'll be able to exchange it for a code you could use. (Or you could PM it to me instead, and I'll make sure it gets put to good use |

Bah, I was in teams when this stuff got posted last night =[
Hey Z, how about a red name post per server, 1 code each =p. It'll encourage ppl to be in game and cut down on script speculation =p
