Now because I asked I know there is a fake date of when the expansion will launch, but I went to the website and saw that there was a bonus for pre-ordering at GameStop.
Link: http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/Prod...oduct_id=77978

"Reserve City of Heroes Going Rogue: Complete Collection and receive five GameStop exclusive character power enhancements and a Razer Sphex City of Heroes Going Rogue Edition desktop skin. As an additional bonus, each retail box contains a $5 off coupon for the Razer Store. Available online and in-store while supplies last."

So uh, what exactly are these power enhancements?

I haven't heard anything about this before - and it seems kinda strange for them to possibly have store-exclusive stuff with GR.

That is what I wanna know more about. And until we do, it's not worth it to doom or squee about it.

I can't find the pic, but that looks like it was highly referenced from an old and fairly popular Tomb Raider Lara Croft shot...

5 Power Enhancements?

I'm guessing they're just IOs?

...That doesn't really beat early powerset access...

Exclusive Enhancements: The five exclusive Enhancements increase the damage and recharge value of a character power and have a small chance to trigger an additional ability. The Enhancements and their additional abilities are:

  • Will of the Seers—Chance for minor psi damage.
  • Clockwork Efficiency—Chance for minor energy damage.
  • Might of the Empire—Chance for knockdown.
  • Resistance Tactics—Chance for minor smash damage.
  • Syndicate Techniques—Chance for minor lethal additional ability triggered.
These Enhancements are only available to newly created characters. Each new character will receive one of each Enhancement. They cannot be sold, stacked, or traded. These Enhancements are equivalent to a Security Level 20 Dual Origin Enhancement.

level 20 DO strength, Dam/Rech enhancers with a proc chance. Non-tradable, and only available on new characters. Neat, but not gamebreaking.
