I just put up a post about the same thing,but with me,I would go to talk to him and then no ambushers would show up for me to fight in order to finish the mission..
that's how it was before the issue,if you deleted a character,to create a silver one,especially if you bought extra slots(which is how i got most of my slots)....
Actually from what you stated that isn't the case..I don't know where you have heard that...If you are silver and you have bought character slots,you can still use those slots to create new characters..I've done this before as a Silver,so there is no penalty....If you have Gold characters on your account you can't play…
It's not just free form archetypes,it's any of them. I've been having the same problem and I just bought the Invincible archetype..I've even added 2 more character slots..I've also been planning on getting the Night Hawk stuff as well...Please Dev's fix this problem soon cause I really want to continue playing this game...
