Will there be a new type of Currency?

When Going Rogue Expansion comes out, will there be a new currency? Or will both types of cash merge together... eliminating the need to do transfers from hero side to villain side?

We don't know.

There hasn't been any official information released one way or another.

We're just going to have to wait and see.

It needs to start with "inf."

How about Infirmary?

There's only one type of cash -- the game just calls it one thing when you're a hero and something else when you're a villain.

The only reason you can't move it from one side to the other is that there's no mechanism for doing so.

the thing about that is, in my most recent experiences in the market red side is actually MORE expensive. On the things i've been watching anyway.

I'm just sharing the most recent dev statement on the topic. I haven't seen anything else posted by them on this topic.

Infirmity, perhaps?

Since heroes/villains are all about betrayal to another cause, how about:

Infidelity?

Yes. It will be called Coin, and only washed-up Norwegian metal bands will give you anything for it.

Oh I understand, i just thought it was interesting that the trend seems to have reversed where red side is more expensive.

I'm hoping that's a good sign. the sooner redside catches up then the sooner the devs might change their minds.

It will be interesting to see how the Devs solve the side switching/money question. I can see several possibilities.

1. even trade- you have 1 million influence you get 1 million infamy
2. total loss- you change sides, you lose all your money. start over.
3. exchange rate- you lose x percent of your cash when you switch sides.


I'm sure there's other options but, as always, we'll just have to wait and see.

I was thinking the same thing. Even fairly common IOs like Crushing Impact (level50) is 2-3x more pricey Red Side.

I've seen LotG7.5% go for 120+million Red Side, last I checked Blue Side it was 50-60?

Since Praetoria is "lol mirror world!," I think we should go to the antonym of "influence..."


Impotence.


"Wow, you got the impotence badge!"
"I have so much impotence!"
"Wanna do an impotence transfer?"
"I'm so full of impotence, I don't know what do!"
"I need to give some of my alts some impotence."

You missed option #4.

4. You keep what you have and start gaining the other type at 0. Basically once you switch sides you have both influence and infamy.

Totally illogical, but it is an option.

It will be called infinite.

This is to aid those players who have an obsession with getting more money. If they already have infinite money they can stop worrying about grinding and just play the game.

There will also be the addition of the ultimate uber FotM enhancement set. It won't be very useful but will appease those who have to have the best enhancements in their powers.


Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

Of course, at one point, they also claimed that Power Customization was off the table.


The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

Positron was either BSing us, or he has the worst understanding of economics I've ever seen.
