I stand outside McDonald's for 12 hours every day protesting their senior discounts. As a person under 65, that policy is insulting to me, potentially a hate crime.
I'm not protesting other people getting things, I'm upset that I now have something I can never get rid of on my character. Another useless currency.
Yeah. The free thing that means nothing to you is a slap to the face. Now that's some top tier whining.
Well I lost my ability to get new characters and now I have useless currency permanently added to my character. Basically lose/lose. I was thinking that maybe I might get something nice with this premium pack for having supported Champions all these years but that's not the case. But hey, doesn't affect you in any negative way, so better **** on people who are disappointed right?
If you want to color all your stuff at once, but are using FF slots, you can use the /powerhue 0 xxx command, where xxx is the rgb angle on the color wheel for the color that you're looking for.
If you wanted it more blueish, you would subtract from 270, until you got what you wanted, if you wanted it more magentaish, then you would add to 270. 265 is more blue, and 275 is more magenta.

Instead of removing subs and implementing the premium pack, they removed subs, implemented the premium pack, reduced the cost of freeform slots, allowed applying freeform slots to pre-existing silver slots, and discounted LTS even more. There is certainly a subset of players for whom this is still bad, but it's not like they did nothing to respond to people's problems.
Well, if you were LTS, you would know while it wasn't a detriment, the tokens were more or less...redundant. Anything claimed by the tokens in the store could already be claimed by LTS overall.
Buffing everything to stupid high levels and nerfing everything to piss poor levels yields the same results, but not the same community reactions.

As a LTS to me the tokens seem inconsequential. They are approximately 10 pixels tall, if that, and so the amount of time they add to scrolling through my list is such a small fraction of a second that it would actually waste more time to think of a reason why they are a negative than it would to scroll past them.
The currency exchange will convert even just one of any of the previous currencies that it accepts. I've done it a lot of times in the past, and still occasionally look at an alt that I've not played for a while and wonder why I still have MCP tokens.
I donno about all of you but I got a perk and title for claiming the premium pack so hey that is something... the currency thing is a pretty pointless thing to get upset about and claiming that it is a "slap in the face" is outright laughable.
Sure we get it that you are PO'ed about the character limit thing and just looking to lash out over any little thing...but c'mon really?
The pack is good for silvers, it was made for them, don't expect to get a benefit out of it for being gold or lifetime, I mean that's probably why it's free.

Could we add the Avian Warrior costume set to the Premium Pack or maybe Exclusive vendor so silver accounts can obtain it?
I don't see it happening. That's a LTS exclusive set if I remember correctly(or at least a long time vet reward). A lot of golds don't even have it/had it when subs were around.

Probably not, but does anyone know if there will atleast be some sort of ability to carry over a character or two after your sub expires or do you get nothing and have to make a new character to be able to even play?
Players who are currently subscribed can still earn the veteran rewards. Lifetime players get them automatically. We have no plans to make them available in any other way.

Yes. It's in the section labeled Freeform Character conversion.

It works the same way as an expired sub always worked: you can convert the character to a Silver slot. That used to require turning the character into an AT, but now it's also possible to purchase a freeform slot and apply it to that character.
By paying the lump sum for lifetime which is a great price right now I think still, but I don't have popup cash like that. As far as I knew I would be doing the same thing I have for the past 7 years and paying my 15 bucks and all of a sudden i'm hit with a big forced higher price. I could also buy them all back individually for about 800 bucks total if my head math is correct.
Its good they actually have a way to play with your characters now instead of just a promise to find a solution later, but the whole way they did this and how it is now just doesn't sit right with me.
And when I take a break and miss a month or two? The way I have always played is I sub and then by the end of the month I judge if I am still having fun and up for more or not and proceed that way.
I plan on just saving for the lifetime full price I guess. Just thought there being some kind of carry over like letting players keep one or two freeforms atleast so we wouldn't be completely locked out would have been nice. I don't plan on playing until whenever it is I have enough for lifetime since buying slots isn't worth it though so just saying it would have been nice to keep being able to play.
Yeah that's mostly my issue now. While i'm not happy with the change to subs, I can accept it (mostly cause no choice), but leaving people out in the cold as sudden as they are doing is not right in my opinion especially to loyal customers who have ben subbed for years.
Yeah, they should have added a few free slots to Veteran rewards, so at least people who have had their sub for a while could have gotten something.
Retroactively adding a freeform slot or slot conversion to the veteran rewards (like one for each tier) would have been a great idea. Why didn't you think of that sooner? Go to your room.
I'm unclear on how this change will affect my characters if my sub lapses.
I have a sub now, and about 20 freeform characters.
If my sub lapses, how many will I be able to use? If I'm not allowed use any of them (normal when unsubbed), how do I regain access to them if I can't sub again?
Once, I was simply called Mojo. Now, I'm forced into a new name, but don't be fooled, I'm the original STO Mojo!

That is a good question: for those who do lapse, would they have to essentially buy a LTS or $600(20x$30 FF slot for this particular case) of FF slots to play their original toons again?

It's not free stuff, it's something that clogs up my currency bars that I can never get rid of. I'm not protesting other people getting things, I'm upset that I now have something I can never get rid of on my character. Another useless currency.

just like it doesn't affect you in any negative way.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
It does effect my character though, it adds a clutter to my currency, which means if I want to look up currencies for events it adds more scrolling.
http://dawnsbrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/rgb-color-wheel-lg.jpg Use this. EX: if you wanted to color everything purple, then you would use /powerhue 0 270.
If you wanted it more blueish, you would subtract from 270, until you got what you wanted, if you wanted it more magentaish, then you would add to 270. 265 is more blue, and 275 is more magenta.
Wow, you're right, that is worth mentioning.

Says it's available to those who have subscribed for 900 days, so it doesn't appear to be Lifetime subscription exclusive.
Heck, the other costume pieces aren't exclusive either; the Hammer Bracers (100 days) Wizard/Druid Robes (200 days) Spartan Lion Armor (300 days) Epic Revelation Armor (400 days) Glowing Tights (1,000 days).
So I don't see why these shouldn't be made available since there are no longer monthly subs.
Well, I guess that settles the matter.
Yes. It's in the section labeled Freeform Character conversion.

Then your sub is done. At that point, save up your 15 a month and use it to buy FF slots over time. If you're lucky a sale will pop up soon.
