    You mean the dropping or the playing?

    I think that's going to be a major reason for a lot of the first wave of side switching.

    The Fir Bolg aren't very bold at all - they run easily

    I'd vote for Sexy Jay to do that - as long as all the mission text and NPC text was written in the style of his forum posts.

    Sorry.
    If we're posting here, we must have time to waste

    It's no big deal - you are forgiven
  6. I think quite a few people will go gray at first, just to see what sort of benefits it has.

    It isn't - anyone between 20 to 50 can switch sides - but I think 50s are more important for this poll because pre-50s will still have normal levels left, so lack of endgame content isn't so important for them.
  8. I've soloed the Vanguard arc - and I'm a pretty squishy Scrapper

    50s - or maybe 48s and 49s too - I think it's to see what 50s might be doing while they wait for I19

    Well, I guess the impossible would be priceless - because it'd be so rare

    There was - they said it at Hero Con on the same day that ultra mode was offically shown for the first time.

    Well, the opening topic doesn't really seem to be going anywhere - so we should recycle waste material, and make this a poll thread for 50s who'll use the GR system

    Thrashing Tyrant and his jackbooted thugs accross four new shiny zones is well worth 30 bucks

    Well, we could always turn the thread into a mini poll - people can post how many 50s they have, and then how many of them they're planning to either switch over fully, or move into Vigilante/Rogue status.

    The side switching will keep a lot of 50s busy
  20. Also, the focus of GR has always been Praetoria and side switching - ultra mode was just an added bonus.

    The Rikti are using the Lost to bolster their ranks. It seems reasonable that VG use heroes and villains to suplement their own, neh?
    Vanguard's "by any means" approach to fighting the Rikti does make them Vigilantes - but Lady Grey seems like a sensible person, even if her name implies less than clear morality

    Issue 17 wasn't scheduled at all when Hero Con was on - all the devs said was that I16 was the final Issue before GR came out, but that there might be a pre-GR Issue if they completed the ultra mode work ahead of schedule.

    It's the full price - $29.95 will get you access to Praetoria, the side switching system, the new power sets and the Incarnate endgame system in I19, as well as an invite to one of the waves of GR beta testing.

    2: What setbacks? What delays?
    Well, it has been pushed back to July, so that's 3rd quarter - but maybe by only a few days.
