I wouldn't qualify the first one there as a hot title, since it's a remake of two games that most people who would want to have already played. And I have no idea what the second one is, despite working part time at a GameStop and being forc--ahem, "politely insisted"--to push customers on reserves.

Not arguing the others, though I'd probably add ToGf and maybe KI:U to that list.

Damz said BIG games, not crappy poorly-implemented remakes of games that were crappy and poorly-implemented when they were released 9 years ago.

Seriously... that was one of the worst games I have ever had the displeasure of playing, and I've not played an entry in that long-running franchise since.

Weren't we at "Imminent" like two weeks ago? Isn't that sooner than Very Soon™?

Should have hit the store exactly as you were writing that post. It's live now. Check the link in my sig.

Why me?

Ooh, me! I'm not gonna die!

Man, that dude is merciless.

Wasn't that exactly what Posi said it was for in his comments on that thread?

The Dual and Team Inspirations were changed last month. They got rid of the 1x and 3x bundles altogether and significantly dropped the price of the 5x bundles. They used to cost up to 120PP apiece... now they're like 75PP for 5 at the most.

Of course, then Golden Girl will complain that she could use those costume parts too, even though she only has one character and is always wearing the same costume.

Obligatory smiley.

Actually, as I understand it, it turned out the Winter Event halo thing was a bug; they were always intended to be recolorable, but they person who actually designed them goofed a bit on the implementation.

No other purchasable one-off powers can be recolored. There are posts regarding the color of the Rocket Board and Flying Carpet powers to this effect nearly every day.

As someone who purchased a Hero Gear Kit, I'm okay with putting Power Slide, Cape of the Four Winds and the "VIP" badge in the market. As someone who doesn't have the special Arachnos cape, I'm okay with that going in the market, too.

I would expect you to eat those words at some point in 6 to 12 months.

Though if I'm wrong, feel free to point me back to this, and I will readily apologize.

Not really a discussion for this thread, but why would it? Is there really any reason that the Katana/Super Reflexes Scrapper I made in 2004 shouldn't be able to keep all his progress when switching to Street Justice/Willpower now?

A Power Set Change Token would really only benefit players who are attached to characters that they don't feel are properly represented by the power set choices they made at creation, or those who didn't have access to the newer power sets because they simply didn't exist when the character was made. I would expect it to have a price point of 1200-1600 PP, and I would probably purchase at least two of them if they were made available in the future.

It would have to be expensive enough that people wouldn't just get them to play "CEBR" characters to 50 before switching to their original intended power sets... that much I will agree with. But I don't really buy the argument that people would stop making alts. If you're a VIP, you've got 12 "free" slots per server, and if you REALLY want a new 50 you can have one within 12 or so hours of power leveling (also not a discussion for this thread). If you're NOT a VIP, then 1600 PP will allow you to make five more characters, so unless you're absolutely obsessed with a single character, Character Slot Tokens are a better buy.

Basically this.

Also, if I recall, the Alignment Change Token came about from a discussion at the recent Player Summit when someone brought up the topic of "things people would want to purchase in the store as a matter of convenience." Cimerora/Midnighter access was also discussed.

My only issue is the price point. 800 PP is simply too expensive for me to ever consider spending on a single-use item like this. I was personally expecting them to launch for around 100/200 PP, and I'm also a little surprised that there's no option to buy in stacks of 5 like most other consumables.

Just wanted to comment on this bit; YES, bonus points do count towards your next Paragon Reward Token.

True story: When I was little, my mom used to say "dinky" instead of "naked" when it was bathtime. Currently suppressing a snicker here...

If the developers' event avatars have anything to say about it, it looks like we might see 50+8 at some point; that's the highest player character we've seen in-game. (That is obviously not set in stone to be the max; we may go further, or may stop at +4 as Matt suggests.)

Is that innuendo...? ... I may or may not like where this is going.

How about a "melting" Costume Change Emote, where your character melts into a puddle, then reforms in their new costume?

Or maybe a "thorny" Aura, where thorns sprout randomly out of your body, then slowly recede before sprouting again in a different location?
