You will find out when you are flying along "30 days" from now and suddenly plunge to your doom when the thing disappears.
My scrapper doesn't need an AoE. She IS an AoE.
Yeah, I was wondering this too....
Are the badges ours to keep, or will they disappear with the jet packs too (considering how they're worded)?
Yea, I'm a badge monkey.

If other Temp Powers like the snowball are any hint, I would say it would NOT be 720 hours. Any temp power measured in days usually fades X calendar days after I get the power.

There's only two times that badges can be taken away from you:
After using an earned respec (in order to replace it with the second version) and if a GM forcibly removes them.

Pretty sure I still have all three respec badges. The ones I did lose, though, were One Time the Victor up to Nine Times the Victor, as I progressed to Ten Times the Victor.
The respec badge descriptions change when you use the associated respec.
For instance, before you use the respec it will read "...your powers seem to be fluctuating." After you use the respec it will read "...has permanently changed your powers."
So, in a way, the old badge is being replaced with a new one.
Cats are independent, they don't listen, they don't come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they're home they like to be left alone and sleep. In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat. - Jay Leno

Oh I'm sure its not 720 hours but hey....a few of my alts would love to take something else at 14.
My reason for asking when the jetpacks will go *poof* stems from wanting to know how much time I have to get all my alts to 14. I don't want them suffering w/o a travel power after this!

The description says "30 days".
Now does that mean:
1) 30 days from today (Dec 8th) regardless of when you got them, so they will magically poof back to the north pole on Jan 7th regardless of use.
2) 30 days from the day your received it (so in theory you could wait till Jan 2nd and get one till Feb 1st) regardless of use.
3) 30 real time days (720 hours).
Inquiring minds wanna know! I imagine it's 1 or 2 (a jetpack that takes you all the way to 50 would really annoy people dumping end redux into Fly 
)

Nice. Busy holidays = little CoH time, but that's a really nice perk for January. Thanks, Positron.
