People who STAY Heroic?

I heard that there were going to be bene's for folks who did not go the "grey" route with their Hero or Villain when GR goes. Any word on what these are gonna be? I'm guessing it will be on both sides. Just wondering what it might be, or what folks might like to see for that matter.

Correct, there will be rewards for heroes who don't fall and villains who don't redeem themselves.

No word on what.

Presumably there'll be rewards no matter what route you take. Switching sides is meant to be a reward in itself, and probably won't have specific rewards attached to it (besides maybe badges or something).

The devs just have to make sure the rewards aren't too good, else nobody will want to switch sides.

Hahaha.... sorry. Honestly, they could make the rewards good, and people will switch sides anyway, just to collect all the badges on the other side that they can get, or to play Masterminds on the hero-side or whatever.

I also feel like the reward should be there as long as you're "just a hero" or "just a villain," and you aren't exempt the moment you go vigilante/rogue. I say that because I feel like unless the rewards are compelling, there'd be almost no reason to not be vigilante/rogue over hero/villain, because you'd be missing out on tons of zones, content, and badges. But if I can make my mastermind turn into a hero and KEEP her as a hero, and get the rewards, that might be worthwhile. I'd just lose them if I go vigilante... but gain them back if I go pure hero.

Does that make sense?

I'm very curious about this topic as well. The answer to the OP's inquiry will determine whether my main hero heads to the other side.


Be well, people of CoH.

I understand what you mean. That would be cool.

It'd be nice if they'd start giving some solid info and update the GR website with it. It looked like all the Tyrant info is "ready for print" to that site, but it's over a week since HeroCon with no update.

I'm holding off my 1-year promo subscription by using time cards until I see if there's actually going to be significant level 50 content. The tongue-in-cheek comments about it are starting to get a little bit insulting.

I would expect there to be tradeoffs for every shift along the scale. You'll be gaining some things, but losing some others. Of course, in some cases that might not be a loss, like losing the Black Market to gain Wentworths isn't going to be seen as a big sacrifice.

That means that if you go Hero to Villain but stay there, or go back to Hero, some of those things will probably come back. That makes sense. Still, if there are things that are lost forever by side switching, because of the flexibility, well, you'll just have to decide whether it's worth it.

I have said before, though, just as an example, how do they give you a badge for NOT doing something? The same with costume options, AFAIK they can only be unlocked, not locked again, so they will have to make changes if they want that to be a perk.
