Discussion: New Gamestop/Razer Going Rogue Promotion

Gamestop and Razer have launched the Gamestop/Razer City of Heroes Going Rogue™ Complete Collection promotion. For a limited time, early reserve customers at Gamestop will receive unique Going Rogue items. Find out more at the Gamestop/Razer City of Heroes Going Rogue™ Complete Collection promotion site.

interesting items included... a lil surprised they are enhancements...

now where is that video that was promised on facebook?

Just saw this over on Razor's Facebook feed. Is this going to be the only retail promotion? If so, I'll preorder it today. I was going to do Complete Collection at retail anyway.

I hate to be "that guy" but...

... is this something that people who already preordered the game aren't going to get?

See, 'cuz Gothess got me and her matching Going Rogue Pre-orders in order to play Dual Pistols and experience the other treats. And now we're not getting the skins or exclusive enhancements?

So this is how all the people that created characters before the Isolator badge was released felt...

Not too thrilled that the enhancements are for new characters only.

Yeah, I'm curious to know if we can get those goodies any other way, since I too went and prepurchased. The day it became available, I do believe.

Really?

I thought you guys were better than this. Store exclusive ingame preorder items in a multiplayer game is the worst trend in video games so far. Sure, they're not that powerful, but it's a really bad precedent.

I'm disappointed. I really thought NCSoft were better than this.

I'm curious about the enhancements. They're compared to level 20 DO's. Does that mean that their enhancement value scales with my level, and that they eventually expire? Or will they provide their enhancement and proc effect from level 1-50?

Guys, new characters get those enhancements, and they can't be traded or sold. They're nothing to go crazy about. You can enhance one or two of your powers more than you naturally could until level 20, but afterwards, the cheapest double aspect IO does the same and has bonuses, too. They're no big deal.

Edit: adding the contents of theOcho's later post so people who only look at the first page see it:

Will of the Seers: + Increase the damage of your power and reduce its recharge time by 16%. + Your power now has a chance to cause additional Psi Damage Clockwork Efficiency: + Increase the damage of your power and reduce its recharge time by 16%. + Your power now has a chance to additional Energy Damage Might of the Empire: + Increase the damage of your power and reduce its recharge time by 16%. + Your power now has a chance to knock down opponents Resistance Tactics: + Increase the damage of your power and reduce its recharge time by 16%. + Your power now has a chance to cause additional Smash Damage Syndicate Techniques: + Increase the damage of your power and reduce its recharge time by 16%. + Your power now has a chance to cause a Lethal Proc How do the enhancement bonuses work? Much like Invention Origin Enhancements, these enhancements provide an unchanging bonus towards the respective effects. This is affected by Enhancement Diversification like any other enhancement. What about the chance to cause damage? From levels 1 to 20 the enhancement provides a chance to cause a small amount of additional damage. After level 20 this chance will no longer occur. I hope this clears any confusion up. Thanks,

Yeah, are the in game enhancements part of the compelte edition add on that we can get for $7 or are they exclusive to this promotion?

I am under the assumption right now, since they are in game items, and we were told that we would be getting the in game items for that $7 price when GR comes out that they are included.

Given my previous experience of US and UK codes being incompatible, my Zero senses are tingling that if I order it anyway I'll most likely get gimped and won't be able to add it to an EU account.

I bought the Going Rogue digital pre-order because I wanted access the DP and DS early, knowing full well that I would be also be purchasing a boxed set down the road and likely applying it to my second account.

Now I have to decide if I also want to get this for my primary account.
