Some interesting new details popped up on the going rogue site with the latest character profiles coming with that expansion. Specifically a number of details regarding Desdemona and Maelstrom.

For their power sets it lists Desdemona as a Mastermind with Demon Summoning, and Maelstrom as a Blaster with Dual Pistols.

None of this is any great surprise but it is an interesting bit of confirmation.

Caios - Modern. Vampire. Cowgirl, not Catgirl.
Karnage - Monster. Psychopath. Fun at Parties.
FyreShadow - Innocent. Naive. God-like Powerful.
Queen Armitage - Caring. Exiled. and out of Options.

Yes, those are the new powersets being introduced in Going Rogue. Dual Pistols for Blasters, and Demon Summoning for Masterminds.

I hope that the demon thingy is all new character models, would hate to see that they are just CoT's demons and such.

Can't wait to see what they do with the double pistols! I know alot of people have always wanted them.

So we ARE NOT getting Dual Pistols on rupters?

I think that Dual Pistols may be released all-around. Don't quote me on this, though.

I hope so, my character I've been building has secondary ruptor set ><-

I so can't wait for Dual Pistols!

wondering if any new secondaries

as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.

I want to roll a dual pistols character, but I also don't want to just be another kid on the Power of the Week train.

On the other side of the coin, this gives me a chance to try and come up with a cool backstory...

They already have a screen shot revealing blue fire imps, so don't get your hopes up.

It's bound to happen. Just like new class updates on Team Fortress 2... when something new comes out people are gunna wanna try it.

I may even try the dual pistols myself.

That was for Issue 16, not Going Rogue. The blue fire imps aren't part of the Demon Summoning powerset.

When you watch the video where Desdemona powers go from red to blue, it has that Infamous feel where your ele powers are blue when good, and red when evil. Wonder if that's going to be incorporated? Also, is there a gray color

It's been incorporated for a while, insofar as that electricity is red villainside.

I'm highly expectant for dual pistols, as I've had a character I've wanted to make with that set for a while. Sadly, I'd slated to release him as Dual Pistols/Poison corruptor, so I have to hope for proliferation of that set first, and then be accepting that I'm going to dissapear into a horde of characters with similar powersets.

Watch the vid, it went from red to gray and then to blue.

The blue fire imps are because of power customization. You'll get to change the color of your powers.

So, we've stolen her Corset and apparently her whip now? >_>

Snipe for Catapult? No, Catapult would be an Targeted AoE. But hey what do I know. I'm still waiting for my Lord of The Apes MM with monkey flinging pooh power.

Unknown. But since Demon Summoning is a villain-side set, probably not. However, since you'll be able to make a blaster and then make him Go Rogue, it doesn't seem to matter much.

But yeah, I'd prefer a Corruptor. I like the AT better.

Which were from a Fire Dominator, not a Demon Summoning Mastermind. There is no reason to expect that the same fire imps are going to be part of the Demon Summoning set.

I know I'm still a new face to most of you all, but I was pleasantly surprised with the powersets brought about in City of Villains when it was released. With how much NCsoft seems to care about their players (especially compared to other MMO companies like FunCom and Mythic) I have no doubt that while these are the first officially announced powersets, they won't be the only ones.

I was holding out for maybe a new AT or two, but with the concept of freeing the existing AT's from the constraints of red- or blue-side, I suppose I should put too much into those hopes (that and for the life of me I can't think of a single type of new AT that would feel new, and not just a rehash)

At the current rate of inflation, that's my $672.19 worth.

I believe Going Rogue is going to include a new 'neutral' archetype. The spy or something similar. I'd have to dig up the original posting about it to be sure though.

SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?
RadDidIt: (interjecting) Dude. It's the Rookery.
SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?
RadDidIt: Silliness Incarnate.
