Can you believe it's been a year since we first heard of Going Rogue?

Does time have BotZ slotted in its Fly?
And the best part is, we know now just about everything about Going Rogue that we knew then!

*Kinetic Melee/Electric Control
*Demon Summoning and Dual Pistols were announced in June, so technically more than a year ago, and we certainly know a lot more about them now than we knew then as we can actually use them now with the pre-purchase
*Incarnate System
*Details for: Ghouls, Resistance, Syndicate, Calvin Scott, Marauder
*Crossing over is not an immediate process, there are increments to it
*Influence/infamy goes into escrow at some point during your alignment shift
*You can get the ancillary pool of the side you switch to once you switch to it (including respeccing into it) and take it back with you to the other side until you respec again
*And lots of other little things I won't waste your time or mine with.

Holy cow that one's way up over your head. Here, have some binoculars.
I remember instinctively getting up early that morning, and checking up on the boards to discover that the teaser trailer had been posted up. I excitedly watched it, trying to work out who this black-haired woman was.
When Desdemona's fireball changed colour, I almost jumped out of my seat and sang out:
'Power Customisation!'
Oh my, was I mistaken.

Apparently your awesome humor is too smart for me because I still don't know what you're talking about. Unless you're riffing on the "it seems like just yesterday" part...?

Leave the humor to those of us who can actually make jokes please.
Remember all those "More Going Rogue info please?" threads a while back? I never miss a chance to rip on marketing.
Marketing smells funny. I can safely say that because I know they don't listen to the players. *Rimshot*

Actually we "first heard" about the purposed expansion which evolved into Going Rogue as far back as August 2008, but I guess there's no real point in splitting too many hairs about it at this point. |

I remember thinking 'Expansion! Power Customisation! Nyaaah!', and then getting all excited when they announced i16. Power Customisation came sooner than I thought, and looking back on it, it's a sign of how quickly the time's gone. Power Customisation's such a normal part of the game now that trying to think of a time we didn't have it is difficult for me.
Ya its been a year since they announced it. I think that's too long. I don't think they should announce things that far ahead and make people wait. Much of my initial enthusiasm for it faded long ago.

The hardest part is while I remember to set it up on new characters, I keep forgetting for my old ones because I am used to how they look.

total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

If that had happened I don't think we would have heard about GR that early.
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
Considering we haven't hit the first stage of player beta testing yet (they're still in "friends and family" mode), I'm assuming we're still a very long way off from launch.
Meanwhile, I think the next Sims 3 expansion is due out next week. Looking forward to that.

I think the idea was probably to announce it just before Hero Con in October last year.

But I'm guessing if we did like your humor, you wouldn't have been so dismissive. Our opinions only don't matter if they disagree with you?|

Or would you have reiterated how "We don't knoooow you" if we liked the joke? I'm just curious. I find "outs" like the one you used fascinating.
I also find Poker Face played on the piano to be interesting, so I can't speak to highly of my own tastes.
Though if musical taste or culinary taste, I wouldn't let me near so much as a Pop Tart.

Having seen you eat that entire plate of food at HeroCon, "a" PopTart is not an issue. |

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I guess marketing could be doing better getting the word out to "The Others", but we here actually in the City of Heroes have heard quite a deal. Still, your point is made. |
