Vanden Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I'm looking through some of my old pre-shutdown character builds, and to my surprise I'm finding some of them to have ATOs slotted. I'm quite certain I never got my hands on enough Super Boosters back then to complete any AT sets, and I'm equally sure I never would have paid the reward merit prices that they cost back then (400-500 merits + 25 million inf). Maybe they were available with Alignment Merits? ParagonWiki is being uncharacteristically unhelpful. Anyone remember other ways to get ATOs that got deprecated on Homecoming?

@Ghost Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I remember the packs themselves being pretty cheap and typically dumping my stipend points on those, so I'm guessing it'd be gambling on packs and burning converters? I don't recall ever picking them up from merit vendors either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I could be completely off-base, but IIRC the only way to obtain them prior to sunset was via Super Boosters, and any ATO gotten was account bound. Granted, it's been eight years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZorkNemesis Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 They were definitely in super packs. I don't recall the Rogues/Vigilantes packs being available but Heroes/Villains were. My old Dom and Troller definitely had their sets in their builds, the Psi proc in Roots was a big source of my damage on my old Troller. If they were available with Alignment Merits, I would expect them to have cost around 8-20, I recall the PvP sets could be purchased with alignment merits for an ungodly amount of those, and you generally could only get one or two of those per day if you committed to it.

Moka Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The rogue/vig packs were i24, yeah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuro Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I believe you could also spend the veteran reward tokens to get super packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placta Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 According to ParagonWiki, you could buy them with reward or astral merits. And they could be traded on the auction house. 2 Playing on Excelsior.

Vanden Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Astral Merits have the same problem as Reward Merits: that 25 million inf price tag on top of the merit costs. I suppose I might have bought them on the AH, but I was wondering if there was some kind of one-time thing where you could get a set for a minimal price, like through the Paragon Rewards program or something.

Shadowsleuth Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Paragon Rewards program, Reward Level 9 VIP had Super Packs Quote Each time a reward token is placed in this slot it grants the following character item certificates: 5 certificates, each redeemable for one Super Pack: Heroes and Villains. This reward is repeatable. https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Paragon_Rewards_Program This is what Super Pack - Heroes and Villains contained: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Super_Pack/Heroes_and_Villains New Costume Pieces Request Thread New Weapon & Shield Models Request Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanden Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 I'm sure I never used that option. I was saving tokens for the costume pieces that got rotated in and out, there's no way I spent enough on the Super Booster rewards to get 3 complete sets of ATOs. Even if you consider enhancement converters, which were way more expensive pre-shutdown.
