hey the testing was good and now the live version is good, i got it and everything looks good, except for the valkyrie sword isnt available for katana still...hope is what drives us all....
Anyone got pics of the Valkyrie weapons? All I've seen is the costume set. I just bought the upgrade for my account, tomorrow some characters of mine are going in for makeovers!

Crazy NIMBY's, Railroad robber barons, and kickboxing Engineers, Oh My! Go back in time and join the fight to save a San Francisco icon!
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. 12 character slots? Does that mean that it comes with a bonus 12 extra character slots? Is that going to be in the Super Booster Pack?
I'd just like to be reassured that there are female versions of the costume items, and that they look good. Considering that a valkyrie is traditionally female, it's odd that the pictures have focused almost entirely on male characters.
But the mission teleporter is tempting, even with the two hour recharge.
OMG, the Mission Teleporter works ACROSS zones. I just TP'd from the St. Martial Facemaker to the Fab in Grandville. This is SO worth it. Kudos on another unavoidable purchase!!

There's a mission at the Fab? 
(I've never done one there.)
@ Blackavaar The 12 character slots dont seem to be added to an existing account : I just bought this and they werent added. I am assuming that that means that if this is used to make a new account, that new account will have 12 character slots. It would be nice for the page to be updated to say that (or someone to tell me that its a bug, and give me my 12 new slots). (actually, i would prefer the extra slots )

Sorry Folks,
12 character slots are for new account creations only.

That's why I said "almost entirely". That's the only picture of a female valkyrie outfit I've seen. If that's all there is to the female set, I'm not really interested.

you mean pc users?..im confused..if im not on a mac then wouldnt i be a pc user?
if i buy this for my pc it will work?..and my paid time is up on the 21st..will this go into effect the 21st for the free month?
your words arent clear for me...can i use this or not on a pc for accounts already working or am i buying a new account?
Let me make sure I've got this right.
<ul type="square">[*] I don't have a Mac.[*] I can purchase the Mac code for $19.99 now, and get the in game items (Valkyrie costumes and Mission teleporter) and 1 Months worth of game time.[*] Or I can wait 2-3 months, pay $9.99 for the same in game items.[/list]
Why would anyone who wants these in game items wait? Unless I am missing something, purchasing the Mac code would be cheaper.

What is the cool down time for the teleporter?

From what i've been told , the set has all the features shown for all three body types. Like the cyborg set.

Coldmed you can apply your code to your account and get the perk items and one month of game time. It doesn't matter if you are playing on a Mac or PC, just go to the PlayNC link and follow the instructions on your current account.
Let me know if you have additional questions.

I have to agree, unless we're missing something, spending $20 now is cheaper...

It works on the PC now and it saves $5 over the cost of waiting the 2 months since it comes with a free month of game time. When you purchase the serial code it gives you the option of applying it to your existing account or to create a new account.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen any good pictures of the female version of the cyborg set either. I didn't get that set. I like to know what I'm getting before I pull out the credit card.

This of course means the normal 12 character slots (per server) that we all start out with then. Kool.
Oh my god, the wings are *awesome*. Do you know how long I've wanted wings with metal feathers? Like, 2 years. That screenshot does not do them justice.
And Valkyrie capes! You didn't tell us about Valkyrie capes! Or at least I wasn't paying attention!
This is, hands down, the best costume set you've released. (Though I'd like a version of Valkyrie Wings 2 with a headband like in Headband Wings, for non-helmeted use, but you can't have everything)
Quality job, Jay. Really great work.

Wait wait wait....
I thought it was only supposed to be good for the Mac for the next couple months (hence the use of the word "exclusivity" in the announcement)?
So... a clarification is in order I think.
** Can this 19.95 be used for an existing PC account NOW?
** Does this 19.95 payment include the free month for an existing PC account?
** Or, is this going to be a code that can only be applied to an existing account on a MAC?
....Color me confused, I will buy it no matter what, but I don't want to get stuck with a mac code I can't use on my pc, and I also don't want to help piss off Mac users if I am getting something in advance of what I ought to be if it's a bug in their billing process.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

It has been answered. You can purchase the mac version online right now and apply it to your PC existing account to get the free month and costume peices for $19.99.
Ex was pretty clear. Your account sees no difference between PC or Mac. Just buy the code...apply it, enjoy the new in-game items + 1 month play time
