There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
So... preorders (especially for GR:C) will hit the store when?
And Khelds (and those lesser arachnos things) are open at 20 now, I'm assuming, since this doesn't sound like "announcing a new EAT" (unfortunately.)

The MMORPG article says "starting on March 2" for preorders, so I'm guessing that's when we can start pre-ordering.|

My question: Will we be able to pre-order the "Complete Edition" at that time also?

Epics at 20? Buhhhh...the Kheldians can get pretty crazy with the slotting and forms, same with the VEATs...odd decision, but appreciated! I imagine that they looked at the levelling curve and saw a lot of people got to 20-35 but not as many got to 50...
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
Only $40 for the complete, sign me up for 2 copies plz! i17 soon, and a partidge in a pear tree, what could be better!.
Now to save up for a new computer.
I am wondering about Ultra Mode the screenshots provided are really to small to see anything, but it looks like the only difference is shadows? Maebe my eyes are getting old...

As I understand it, shadows and reflections are the two major changes. I wish they'd increase the draw distance and upgrade the game with a higher resolution like when City of Villains came out.

The "EATs at 20" thing seems to be getting the most attention - but what about the other listed features?

Any ideas on what they might be, like what UI changes could they make that'd make it better?|
New badges, new missions and new player emotes Improvements and additions to Mission Architect Enhancements to UI and game systems |
And what sort of additions to the MA might they be going to give us?
Also, beautiful new shiney badges

Can we get some clarification? $30 gets me early Pistols and Demons, while paying $40 can get me the same stuff plus shiny things? Or is the Complete Collection a separate deal altogether requiring I spend $70 total?

What's in that item pack, you ask? Well, a few nifty things like:

If the new enemies are some sort of shapeshifters than can take our look as well as our powers, I think Nemesis miught be a bit annoyed, as it'd make his Automatons rather outdated |

From how I read it, it's either $30 or $40, but not both. You pay $10 extra, you get $10 of extra things, just like a Booster Pack. Makes sense from their normal pricing standpoint. Also, $30 makes sense for the pricing of an expansionn. Couldn't imagine paying $70 total for an expansion.

Well the only UI improvement that was brought up at HeroCon (supposedly I wasn't there
), was the whole "mobs/glowies/etc will show up on the map after 90% of mobs are defeated" thing.Beyond that, I'm looking forward to more improvements!

- New badges, new missions and new player emotes
- Nice!
- Epic Archetypes now available at level 20
- Interesting...
- Improvements and additions to Mission Architect
- Customizable maps? Please? I dont even ask for Base level mods, just... dont know, lighting tinting? Glowies that dont ever glow (for random object placement, you know, for theme?)
- Enhancements to UI and game systems
- Please tell me you guys are revamping the power browser!!! I HATE the power browser!!!! Stopped being useful the day we got a couple temp powers, and it sucks now with Epics, vet rewards and bucket-loads of temp powers!!!

OK, this is confusing.... Going Rogue is comming in July... good to know... buit should I buy the expansion now... I can play during March and April a Dual Pistols character... but what happens in June? Do I loose the character? Do I loose the ability to create more characters?| Remember Going Rogue?

Also, will the "Complete collection" be available only in July? If so, does this means if I want to go for that collection I'd be forced to wait and loose my head-start on Dual Pistols/Demon Summoning?
Is that an all-inclusive list of what's in that Complete Collection thing? Or is it going to include the various booster packs as well?
"Stance emotes"? Perchance, a way to make our characters have a custom default stance?
