The devs have said it won't be easy to switch sides, so I think it'd take a while.

Good, thou must pay the price for being a goody two shoes if you decide to defect to the red side

(Note: that was not aimed at any goody two shoe in specific.. and I guess the reverse may be the same as well.)

Never!
Well, I suppose it could be a disguise if I was double agent

Still not quite sure how a double agent would work in this game though - there'd have to be some way of locking your morality rating, so that even if you were doing CoV missions, you'd still be flagged as good.

I don't even have a crop for my horse

Also, the moon being the place where 50s get the special enhancements sounds like a pretty big bit of end game content - way bigger than raids or TFs.

Now there's a fact alright. I'm looking forward to that, hopefully they won't make it a contiuous drag like they did with the 20 shadowlevels in Anarchy Online though, that was camping the same spawns forever until you levelled because regular content to play was few and far between. Hope they did that better here.

Well, this part of the survey...
[ QUOTE ]
On an alien space station that mysteriously appears over Earth, Heroes and Villains will race to unlock the secrets of the place and be the first to reap the rewards that are only available to the best of the best.

[/ QUOTE ] ...uses the word "race", and it almost makes it seem like it's some sort of competitive thing between Heroes and Villains - but not PvP, as I don't think they'd make that required to enhance your 50
Maybe something like a power source in the middle of a large map that's divided in two, and Hero's and Villains have to try and get to it first, and it'd reward one super enhancement?
And being in space, there's all kinds of grvaity effects that could stop travel powers being used

The "testing their powers and skills to the max" part sounds very interesting too - but would it be team based, or solo based? Unless they make challenges for each AT, it might be hard to make a solo friendly one that every AT could complete at the same level of difficulty - but then that might mean you'd need to team to get your super enhancements, which might be restrictive.

A soft toy teddy is a cuddly animal that you decorate your bed with, and a garment teddy is sort of like a linen corset, so a leather teddy would be a corset or basque.

EDIT: And you also don't have zippers on tights

Must say I am looking forward to GR, may even pay full price for it.

Hey, I'm a guy and I certainly wasn't talking about teddy bears! (Best Safe for Work image I can find at the moment!)

Ahem.. back OT again.. yes, I'm gonna be away for a few months soon and I doubt I'll be able to play via my laptop, but I'll certainly be looking forward to GR when I get back.

If GR is an expansion that requires CoH/V to play then why would we be paying extra subs? I'm assuming people are implying that the cost of the subs would increase?

[/ QUOTE ]
No AP - no-one's mentioned additional subs or any increase in subs.

All we were speculating about was whether or not GR would include a months CoX subs as part of the package.

Since it is a true expansion it doesn't need to, but my guess is that including a months subs could be a smart move to boost sales (or move them to earlier sales) at very little cost to NC/PS.

e.g.
Imagine NC look at the pack without a 'free' month of CoX subs and decide it's got a pricepoint of £20. My belief is that rather than selling it like this at £20, they'd do much better to sell at £25 with a free month, as people get entranced by the word 'free'.

Much as buying the Mac pack or full GvE edition (with a months subs) was more cost-effective for existing subscribers than just buying the add-ons (the powers and costumes). It probably didn't cost NC anything to do this (else they'd probably not allow the codes to be applied to existing accounts).

Well, some of us still insist on making team builds, so I sure hope any unlockable content can be done in teams. My poor, friendly neighbourhood healing villain would stand little chance against most EBs. When I faced Silver Mantis it turned out to be a hopeless battle for both of us. I had no problem staying alive, but couldn't do enough damage to take her down.

...and maybe this means that construction site in P.O. will finally finish off whatever they're doing, meaning you migh be able to go to the moon(?) as early as lvl 5-10(?)!

Isn't there a construction site in Steel - still - as well?

Yes there is.

The workers got unionised (or defiantised on some servers) and then striked. Been in a standoff since GvE - the workers still turn up and pretend to look busy, but no work's been done.

Think the last speculation that the space zones were coming soon was last years wedding/Valentines event, when we learnt of (iirc) Gagarin Space Station and Armstrong moonbase. Suggests that these may be new zones/areas when we finally do get into space.

Shame that they didn't get the moonbase ready for last week - would have been nice to visit Armstrong base 40 years after he went for a stroll there.

Phew, was getting a bit worried there JD.

OT, I'm not entirely sure what 'new' sets could be introduced. I know there are always plenty in the Suggestions thread but, tbh, a lot of them could be explained by the sets we already have.

Power Proliferation seems to be the way to go on the majority of powers and with the ability to switch sides, it's arguable that we players would need to have absolutely everything available for all sides on all ATs.

I'm looking forward to the nature of the content as opposed to the quantity. If previously hinted at content types such as branching dialogue and the moral compass work then great. If we get given the new factions (Prateorians, possibly Freedom Fighters) but then nothing is updated as, apparently, the MA should be all we need, then not so great (from me).

So... when do we get more hints? We needs more to speculate on!

I'd guess that we don't see any new info to feed speculation until the boards are back up after migration.

It'd be cruel to release new info whilst we didn't have an official place to gossip about it.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make solo only content when it's an MMO - they can make solo friendly content, but that's not quite the same thing
