    Much cheaper as boosters, and they are more frequent.

    More expensive and more frequent.

    -Power sets? ...several free with VIP subscriptions, oh, and there were several powers that only came with expansion purchase before ( GR came with several. Then there were whole ATs that were only available with a CoV purchase before CoH and CoV were merged )
    Aside from the two expansions, we never had to pay for power sets. Now?
    We've had three $10 power sets and one free one since Freedom launched. More expensive, and, so far, more frequent. Dark Control will be free, but I'll be happily shocked if Staff Melee is.

    Yanno, I'm drawing a blank. Maybe you can enlighten me here....
    You're missing the point. Just because we sometimes had to pay for things, it's now constant. On average, more money is coming out of my pocket to have a little more content. Obviously this is why Freedom is financially successful: they get more money from VIPs, and you get money from Premium/Freems when you got nothing from them before.

    The irony of this whole discussion is I'm considered one of the leading fanbois on Victory.
  2. Hey, I was leading a team through the FW... it has its challenges, but I still find it to be a fun zone.

  4. To echo Voo's comment, I also see content as irrelevant on an Isos run (but I would do First Ward again!). It's more about good teaming and whatever build I'm playing at the time. Content goes by in a blur, and even normally troublesome mobs aren't much of an issue.

    That being said, if redside ruins your fun, then sit this one out GP.

    For the next run, I might take an old Villain that's been languishing in the 20s and use them. I have a Dom and a Brute that would fit right in.
  5. We're definitely doing another week... I need Shards!

    Ham mentioned it in SG chat on Wednesday. Personally, I'd like to go Redside again because I haven't done any of the new Mercy content, and as Ham mentioned you can always switch to Blue at 50.

    Push was awesome.

    This looks pretty good. I'm thinking they should have made Heroes a movie and it wouldn't have turned out so badly.
  8. No, because people wimped out.

    Next week should be close to the finish.

    Are we really ditching Redside for good?
  9. I say we delay the next Isos until the next new power set drops. Staff melee? We can't put this off until I22 so that rules out Dark Control.

  12. Damn, I hope it's not random... that would suck. I'd prefer just have a strict schedule going through all available TFs/SFs. But a RNG would explain the repeat months.
  13. Does anyone know why January is almost an exact repeat of December's WTF schedule? Do the Devs hate us? Are they picking TFs are are not run as much (except for ITF)? The LGTF hasn't been a WTF since AUGUST! What gives?

    EDIT: Crap, I meant this for General Chat, but you guys can comment too, I guess.

    Who Will Die?

    I thought Statesman's death was pretty lame, even if his final thoughts were somewhat well done. I'd have preferred for him to go out in a blaze of glory.

    And this might be the only time anyone has wanted to recreate a DC costume.

    I love the weird and creepy look... it seems to be Betelguise Gone Wild!

    And Red WarWalls are the bomb!

    Stalker. Buffs.

    Oh, and something about Dark Astoria being revamped into a co-op lvl 50 zone with Incarnate rewards... obviously not as important as the Stalker Buffs!
  21. The custom always has been that we start a new iteration once most people have hit 50. I think post-50 content will always be extracurricular for Isos. Of course, my words carry no wait around here, so I'm curious to see what The Leadership has to say.
