Great news and cool trailer (loved the part on which States turns to the camera and changes to Tyrant, and the city view behind him). It was about time to show some progress in front of all those DOOM and Farewell threads of the last 2-3 weeks.

* Will we be able to play existing hero/Villain content with side-switched characters?

* Will we be able to play from level 1 on either side with toons of either alignment?

I'd be really disappointed to miss the low-level content with my transferees.

Myopic Aardvark · 05-13-2009 04:17 AM

I'd really hope that the low level content ends up either NEW or REVAMPED with this add on.

(Noticing we did get a reply... Wohoo, making a quick list for the faq.)

What will the prize be when your changing side? Will you loose your badges/influence or will they be converted to the counterpart?

Will there be a new start sone?

Will there be new base items to fiddle with?

From the hints we have seen from Positron (When we worked at Cryptic we could do nothing about power customization), is this a feature that will come here? And does this mean a complete new graphical engine?

Hero AT can only go to Villain zones and vice versa if they have gone rogue, is this correct? Or will they be able to do so regardless?

We love costume sets, how many more will there be in this issue?

How much in Nemesis involved in this one? After all he has been the major villain in the last issues, even making Oreboros to prevent the coming storm. Is this the storm he wanted to stop or is this a new event after the storm has been stopped, that he could not forsee? Even if we have a sincere and Nemesis gone actual good in GoingRogue, Nemesis will never wholly be believed (pity).

In addition to 2 new powersets, will we also have more power customization in Going Rogue?

Can we get the Sybils outfit or something close (love that cloth)? I know not GR related, but had to try

I do, but I go to the RWZ for em. The trainer doesn't send me off on a silly quest before he'll share the goodies

I think Ghost Falcon is basically a purchaser of agricultural goods nowadays. Or was before the MA came along.

I take it from press release that the Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning powers are going to be coming out with the expansion then?

I feel all tingly.

I fell of my chair with excitement as soon as I started watching this. Then when I saw the pistol my chair broke.

LOL, The Mac thing worried me for a minute before i seen GF's post. That said it wasn't a complete yes. "THats the plan" isn't very stable a reply. Then again covering backs and all that i guess..

Few questions of my own:
[*]Will this be a boxed expansion?[*]If so can i still buy it on PlayNC.com if i want[*]Any word on the price/if it is confirmed to be paid at all?[*]Is there any plans to have released the science booster in-between this time?

Extras i dont expect to be answered but want to ask none the less
[*]Will there be extra features to the release? (Most boxed editions have bonus features like a pack of choice, temp/perm powers etc)[*]Will a hero AT be physically able to stand in the real live server side of villains. (ie use an arbiter for example), and vise versa.

What will happen with SGs?
Will the Villain and Hero SGs merge, or will you be removed from your current SG when you switch over to the opposite side?

I think you'll lose your place in your old SG - your former SG friends will feel betrayed by you

At least no one will betray you eh? I finally understand your isolationism could actually be voluntary

Hmmm, wouldn't this keep people away from the content? Unless it is a temporary removal perhaps?

It depends on how they actually handle the going rogue part - if you switch sides, then you'd be unable to enter any of your former faction zones, so you'd have no access to any base portals anyway.
