I agree.

It's powersets replacing powersets that we should be worried about!

Assault Rifle is doomed! Dual Pistols is going to replace them all.

My guess is that the situation will be much simpler than many people are speculating it will be: "side switching" merely giving access to Praetorian universe co-op zones. Remember that this is a boxed expansion; people who don't have the expansion just won't be able to access the new content. I don't think we'll have villain AT's running around in original blue-side zones at all.

For the first time, hero characters can become villains and vice versa, enabling hero archetypes to cross over to the Rogue Isles™ and villain archetypes to experience Paragon City™.

That still could refer to the Praetorian versions of the Rogue Isles and Paragon City. If they mirrored and rebalanced the entire list of previously available game zones (while also making them all co-op), that would be a huge task, and plenty enough content to merit being a paid expansion and not just an update.

I for one refuse to engage in pointless speculation. But I do have a Mastermind, Comrade Chertov complete with a back-story, who is ready, willing and soon able to switch over to the blue side. I also have a Tank called Kryterion. And he's such a freakin perfectionist, he could snap at any moment. Then instead of blue and white his costume could change to red and black. And there you have it! Insta-villian! Just add maniacal laughter.

Continued Kudos to the long suffering Devs. Who despite our constant carping and neverending doom saying, continue to give us almost exactly what we want.

P.S. I suspect, that after messing about with the Mission Architect, not a few AE players are beginning to develope a new found respect for what the Devs have to go through. I also suspect that the Devs knew this would be so and are currently engaged in a grand collective bout of 'Nyah-nyah, nyah-nyah, nyaaah, nyah's

I find it very interesting that her fireball changes from red to blue.
