Now look for PvP to really get interesting!
"It is that balance, the ground between EB and AV, where the PvP struggle should exist. Where a 1v1 becomes a struggle of equals, and 1vMany gives the benefit to the 1."
Freedom: Fireocity, Electro Imp, Gotya
Infinity: Meteor Storm, Mutai Kid, General Bot, Da Smasher
While nothing will ever cause me to look up from MA long enough to even notice it exists, especially with me personally having no interest in switching sides (I just roll anew on red)
the thought of some new powersets DOES intrigue me of course. Mainly because Ill promptly get use of those powersets in MA (I assume).
So while the trailer did not show dual pistols (it showed single pistol... actually an old Co2 cartridge paintball gun I think) it also did not show any annoying and way off theme thugs spawning from behind Mealstromboli when he drew his weapon
and that my friends is promising... if youre pickin up what Im throwin down.
And while people may be reading too much into Dramamine and her color changing balls... I swear I saw her cupping her balls... ahem... whilst wielding natural claws. Everyone else saw that too
right? I mean we obviously cant get petless pistol(s) without also getting natural claws... right? huh huh?

Neogumbercules OMG @ your Avatar! Hilarious!
Good, maybe now all the demons, "T3h 3vil D00dz", and emo red and black-colored heroes will GTFO and go to the Rogue Isles where they belong.
But overall, sounds like you guys are still avoiding upgrading your gameplay. A real shame. Shall I be expecting the same boring rescue/kill boss missions with different flavor text as per usual, then?

I imagine hami raids will change a lil with this added dynamic.
This had my eyebrows levitating about 3 feet above my forehead. I remember when this idea was floated, and it seemed like one of those things in the "yeah maybe one day who knows" not-even-Soon(tm) projects.
As a wise man once said,

P.S. Is CoV about to be swarmed under by Demon McDarkypants scrappers? Stay Tuned! XD

If they are 'heroes', why would they 'belong' in the Rogue Isles? Surely, the whole point of being 'hero' or 'villain' is defined by what you do, rather than where you are?

He's complaining abt those that make villainous looking heroes. Unfortunately he overlooks the possibility that they may just be replaced with villainous lookin VILLAINS who now can be in the Rogue Isles. :P
To anyone who thinks there will be or wants a new "Spy" archetype... please, elaborate, what would this archetype actually DO?
SWEEEETTTT!

What's wrong with villainous-looking heroes? Heroes like Ghostrider and Hellboy are hardly new. Hell, half of the christian mythos is based around the idea that the most beautiful angel turned out to be a complete bastich.

Maybe they sneak around peeking at stuff through binoculars? Taking notes?
And occassionally calling in airstrikes or raids.
It would be an interesting twist.
Will this expansion bring in a new set of levels or will I just get a new starting zone and move freely between primal earth and Praetoria?

Just speculating, but possibly a new kind of mission altogether. There's been past chatter that the mission types are a bit stodgy. I'd envision new spy missions as akin to the old Thief video game, where you do a lot through subterfuge, rather than just invis run/teleport to a goal and take it (or kill/arrest it)
There's could also be counter-intelligence missions, toppling defense, sowing discord, perhaps something that affects the status of a zone.

Is this a paid expansion? How much do these usually cost?
(I hope it's free... 
)
[/ QUOTE ]
It won't be free this is intended as a paid expansion to put a box on the shelves (likely to combat DCUO and CO.
That said, it's hard to say what it will cost. CoV when released had 2 different versions and a Pre-order. The Preorder was 10 bucks, the Standard Edition was $50 (minus the preorder if you had one) and the Collector's Edition was $80 (again, minus the preorder if you had one). however, GvE Edition and AE edition both ran at 19.99 for the combined game.
At the moment, I'm taking a "worst case" approach and assuming it will be priced like CoV was, a $10 Pre-order, a $50 Basic Set and an $80 Collector's Edition. Odds are, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong in the "higher price" direction and will be very happy about paying a lower price. If I'm right, It costs around my expectation (and thus the money I've set aside to get it). If I've shot too low (which is doubtful) at least I've got a large portion of the price set aside.
I am also assuming, for the moment, that there will be Pre-orders and the "pre-order goodies" will be broken down like CoV was with specific outlets getting specific "exclusive (to them)" preorder goodies. One thing is for sure, Circuit City won't be one of the Pre-order holders this time around.

Considering what most other company's do when they release a new expansion (using LOTRO Mines of Moria as an example) it will be 39.99 at first, for a few months, then they'll release a 19,99 version and a 10 pack for the toys.
I am hoping power customization comes with the game, though you can interpret the color change from red side to blue as well.
(mind you, with CO coming out and power customization being apart of it Ican see it being done to compete, CoX is about to be challenged with the same type of game (ie super hero) so I can see them pushing it out).
Also,
You know they are reading these threads and will NOT answer questions about power customization for months and months.
