BACKGROUND: Marshal Blitz was once the marshal of Warburg, an island in the Rogue Isles that was infamous for its WEB system, which developed extremely powerful missile weapons. Blitz was charismatic and ambitious, thwarting every attempt by 'rogue' heroes to oust the control Arachnos had over the island.

Edit:
Also, if you target Blitz, then -> Actions -> Info -> Description, the first paragraph reads:

"Marshal Jason Blitz used to be the Arachnos Marshal for the isle of Warburg, one of the western-most Rogue Isles, and is today the de facto ruler of it. Marshal Blitz commands a contingent of Rogue Arachnos that took over Warburg and uses its rockets to threaten Paragon City."


The whole point of the story being that when he worked for Arachnos, they made him Marshal of Warburg; but (at least for purposes of this story) now he appears to have turned against Arachnos, so they probably no longer accept him as Marshal.

Frinstance, no one even asked if this was the Primal or Praetorian one....

I wouldn't complain, except that it looks like the aura does the exact opposite of what is associated with autumn.

More specifically, when are those things coming and are they purchaseable?

There are currently two rules for exemplaring and set bonuses:

1) If you exemplar more than 3 levels below the level of the enhancement, the set bonus from that enhancement will shut off. This means that if you exemplar below level 47 with a level 50 IO, it will not provide set bonuses.

2) If you exemplar more than 3 levels below the minimum level of the set, the set bonuses from that set will shut off.

Store bought IOs ignore rule #1 because they have no level of their own.

All enhancements have their enhancement values scale down when you exemplar (though they do it based on modifiers in a table and based on the difference between your normal and exemplared level, they do not become the same as lower level IOs as you've described). These Store Bought Enhancements do it on a slightly different scale that, based on testing in the beta, made normal IOs have slightly better enhancement values at some levels and SBEs have better values at others. Those values were so small that I think they're mostly irrelevant, but the set bonuses are still significant.

These Store Bought Enhancements, at their maximum level, give enhancement values at their maximum level. If you exemplar below 37 with normal level 40 IOs, the set bonuses shut off. If you exemplar below 47 with normal level 50 IOs, the set bonuses shut off. Not so with these. These have the enhancement value of their max level when you are at the max level, and you can exemplar all the way down to 3 levels below the minimum level of the set and keep the set bonuses. That is superior to the in-game level 50 IOs. It's also superior to in-game level 30 IOs, as the level 30s don't give level 50 enhancement values at level 50.

Basically they're tied to your global and can be traded among your own characters.

I like these new Enhancements. I like that they level with you.

I understand why these are Uncommon, it would be too powerful with Rares.

However, if even one member of the set is Rare, then the whole set is missing from the Store. This severely limits the number of sets Available, which in turn, severely limits their range of usefulness in several areas:

1. These categories have no available sets: Recharge Intensive Pet; Accurate Healing; Accurate Defense Debuff; and Accurate To Hit Debuff;

2. These categories have sets only available in the 10-20 level range: Knockback; Taunt; Endurance Modification; To Hit Buff; To Hit Debuff; and Defense Debuff.


I'm sure the prices of these are just placeholders since sets that go from 20-50 are priced the same as sets that go from 10-20. And quite frankly, selling any one of these sets that only go from 10-20 for real money should be considering unconscionable unless the price was about 5 cents each considering how pretty quickly they'd become worthless compared to a simple SO. The ones that go from 20-50... now that's something I'd spend some cash on.

But unfortunately, the sets that are left are rather restricted in their range. Some sets that go to 50 only start at 35.


Suggestion:

1. Create two tiers of uncommon enhancement sets: one whose level is 10-40. And another that is 25-50. Readjust all uncommon sets' levels to belong to one or the other category. This will hopefully end uncommon set level slotting tetris. Then, charge more for the upper level set.

2. For categories of sets that don't have an uncommon set, please make one.

3. For sets that only have one or two Rares, and the rest uncommon, include them in the level-as-you-level store, but, you can charge a bit more for them.
