That theory doesn't work so well for all the other pets.

It doesn't work well for the VEATs either, but do you really think that they're going to completely change the name of the AT to account for those who change sides because they're no longer in Arachnos?

Honestly, I doubt there will be any change to the PPP/APP system. The pools are, in and of themselves, balanced around the ATs they belong too. Creating entirely new PPP/APPs to account for villains that switch sides would be an exercise in redundancy since there are already perfectly serviceable and presumably balanced PPPs to work with. The only problems that really exist are, potentially, the pets, though, it's not entirely out of the question that you brought along or found an individual of the kind that changed sides to work with you.

While the PPPs are balanced for their ATs and serviceable, it doesn't make sense that after side switching, the villains, who are now heroes, are going to go back to the Arachnos patrons and be like, "Hey, teach me more cool powers with which I can use against you in the very near future."

Ancillary pools make a bit more sense, since in theory they are just newly learned powers, I could get a heroe in the isles learning additional powers. The patron pools, not so much.

All four Patrons are already teaching villains powers that will be used against them in the very near future. That's how the Patron Arcs work.

I just wish they would release some more information about Going Rogue in general.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. However, since the intital information was released earlier than intended, it may be a while yet.

[/ QUOTE ]
"Earlier than intended" only meant a few hours. They still intended to have it go up that day.

[/ QUOTE ]I don't think so. I think it wasn't supposed to go up and was only "accidentally" released in an effort to instantly hush the civil war that was erupting over the MA debacle.

I'm making a casserole tonight. Can I borrow one of your tinfoil hats to cover it with?
