    I really don't think so, Jay strongly suggested that he was working on the Natural booster "right now" during Hero Con.

    Perhaps the metaphor was a little too subtle? lol

    There is no such thing as safety. You are trading something tangible you can never get back for an illusion.

    As long as the person holding the gun to your head to enforce the peace doesn't sneeze, I assume. :P

    I thought the "amp up" was him cycling through the ammo types.

    Before Castle admitted that they couldn't think of anything better (not really a good reason to include the feature), I suspected as much, as it seemed like an odd move on their part, compared to most of the things they offer us. It's nothing like the little buff the Magic booster does, or the fun of self-destructing, or the mission teleporter.

    *added*

    How did I miss this? Apparently you'll be able to change your ammo for dual pistols on the fly? Should be nice and helpful to switch up depending on the mob.

    There's a bigger thread on it in the Blaster forums, but I would guess Dual Pistols will be like Claws or Dual Blades: fast, lighter attacks.
    Yeah, basically "swap ammo" will be a click power with a quick recharge that cycles through the ammo types.

    So while it seems logical that the next booster will have something to do with ninjas either directly or indirectly, it's still just broad hints and winks, and it could be that the ninja stuff is only a part of the booster contents.
    So, unless it's turtles, it's a natural booster. :P

    Why would I want to be a hero anymore?

    (swap villains/rogues, same deal)
    I'm thinking maybe you won't have access to your contacts on hero side and you can't start task forces. I dunno.

    Here is a hypothetical question. Let's say someone wants hamidon enhancements. If the market is merged, why would anyone ever do LRSF ever again? Why not just do STF over and over?

    Yes. I heard Positron answer that question during the con.

    I believe he said Vigilantes can trade inspirations with Villains during the con.

    However, even with that, you are right that how hard it is to flip sides will determine how quickly marketeers can take advantage of each separate market.

    Plus it suggests that the Praetorians have no market of their own. Really? Or, instead of a market merge are we going to see further market fragmentation and the creation of a third market: Merry King Cole's Discount Warehouse O'Self-Determination?

    Unless GoRo is really only going to be lvl 1 - 20 when it comes to new content, making such a market unnecessary. Or perhaps Paragon Studios will continue their trend of introducing yet another resource type (perhaps Cole Hard Cash) that you can trade for enhancements et al when in Praetoria.

    As I said: lots of nice new shiny systems, but the devil is in the detail of implementation.
    Positron said that Praetoria will have markets. The resistance will share with hero side and praetorian police will share with villain side through some kind of "dimensional magic". They are still working out the logistics of this, so there are no answers to the questions this raises.

They slip into unconsciousness, and shortly thereafter they're transported away and revived...generally in the Zig.

    They'll be fine. Why else do you think the city would be so cavalier about handing out licenses to everyone with a pair of spandex? Why do you think the common thugs on the street are so brazen about their crimes? There's very little fear of actual death.
    I'm sure the family of Lt Sefu Tendaji will find that very comforting. :P
    what about: Ghost Widow, Scapyard, War witch, Kelly namers, the Croatia ghosts, the pirate ghosts and all the body bags?

    "less" lethal, I think.

    And anecdotally, I tend to get more drops red-side than blue. And I play red-side less and less frequently.
    I noticed that, too! Haven't gotten a purple drop yet blueside, when I switched to red for the new badges 2 new purples right away.

    Well, if you act fast as in today is the last day, you may still be able to get on the queue for Brandon McKinney He's offering a sale that is considerably lower than his usual prices.



    I couldn't resist.


    ...I couldn't, either.
  21. Didn't work that hard on double xp this time.

    AmazingPurpleFatman: 43-50 (thanks Valdy)

    Overall I'd say the Widow is stronger than the Stalker (but the Stalker needs the badge! ).
    Because the widow doesn't. (You're WELCOME) lol

    Well, that is interesting and confusing. I've run that several times this week, and never had any trouble defeating him with teams that had those temps.

    Why am I bother posting it here?
    It is highly unlikely that a RED name will answer this question here.
    I think that was just poorly worded. I am completely confident they mean your current global.
