Ancillary Pools and Patrons in GR


Ad Astra

 

Posted

I spend about 15 minutes seeking information about whether Villains will have access to Hero Ancillary Pools and Heroes being able to get Villain Patrons. I did not find anything so I am asking here.

Will Villains and Heroes have access to each others epic power pools once GR hits ? If yes, then who gets what? Will Brutes be able to get Tanker Ancillaries and vice versa ? Will Corruptors get Defender Ancillaries and vice versa? What information has been put out?

Thanks

So I guess your answer would be you do not know then. Still someone else may have more info from understanding the consequences of having all ATs being able to get Ancillaries and Patrons or from forum searching.

The question is logical. This would be value information to know being that one of the prime reasons I choose Heroes over Villains is that the Ancillaries are better than the Patrons, both in concept and effectiveness. If that didnt exist I would probably be on redside. Knowing in advance would be helpful so I wont waste time lvling a hero when I can be a villain who can get hero ancillaries.

We simply don't know. Most/all the Ancillaries/Patrons won't port directly over, except maybe Brute/Scrapper and Defender/Blaster, but that's it.

You got me. I really know what's going to happen with Ancillary and Patron Power Pools, and I've been keeping it a secret. A dark, dark secret.

......

No, really, we don't know.

More specifically, we don't know because the devs haven't told us. We can theorize and speculate all day, but nobody knows for sure. It's possible that a select few people know, and the devs might know by now, but anyone who does know at this point isn't allowed to say.

Actually, my answer was a collective "we don't know," as in, nobody but the Paragon Studios staff knows. And has been said already, they're not allowed to talk until the marketting department gives them the go-ahead.

Everything that a non-Paragon employee knows is in this thread from the HeroCon follow-up:

(Different thread--I promise it won't just link to "we don't know" this time. )

Quit giving the service a bad rep.

You come across as a baffoon on these boards.

Playing the game (either redside or blueside) is by definition "wasting time", but if playing a hero isn't fun, then don't do it.
