Discussion: Are you ready for Issue 18: Shades of Gray?

With an exciting Issue launch upon us, we have even more thrilling news for you, so make sure you read on! You wouldn't want to miss out on all the fun!

Issue 18: Shades of Gray is Coming!

The Issue 18: Shades of Gray content is now available for download prior to being released on the live servers. The download will begin after you exit your play session rather than prior to entering the game, and is purely optional - you can cancel at anytime. It's important to note that you will not be able to experience the Issue 18: Shades of Gray content until it has been officially released on the live servers. However, receiving it ahead of time will allow you to play right away once the content is available, instead of waiting for a large patch to download.

Please note that the current pre-download window does not contain any text but it will appear after you've exited the game.

Free Character Transfers for a limited time only!

To take advantage of this new issue launch, character transfers within one set of servers (North American OR European) will be free from Tuesday, August 17 to Monday, August 23. This is the perfect opportunity for you to hop between servers depending on your mood or interests and meet other heroes and villains to enjoy brand new game features with!

Free Respec, Tailor token and Global Chat handle token

All players with an active account as of Monday, August 16 will receive one free Character Respec token per character, as well as one Tailor token per unlocked costume, and the ability to change their global chat handle.

Please note: if you still have a free Respec token on Monday, August 16, you will NOT be able to accumulate an additional token as the limit is one per existing character. We recommend you use it beforehand so you can obtain a brand new one.

Yay, free server transfers!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

If there was an emoticon for what I'm feeling at this moment, Bright Shadow's avatar has the right idea.

Will someone please hit me over the head and wake me next Tuesday?

thanks.

Monday is August 16th, not 15th.

Don't try and extend the wait!!!! You can't fool me!!!

And before it even starts:

Free server transfers for the week does NOT equal an upcoming server merge. Please take your whine fests elsewhere.

Ashes to ashes,

Thanks for the free server transfers. Very nice!

Woot! Free Transfers!

Does this have a cap, like the last time you guys did this? Or is this an unlimited amount of transfers since the offer is only for a week?

I'm really happy we get a chat handle change... but anyways, all of this is awsome!

I know it's my own fault for not waiting, but I wish they would have mentioned free server transfers last week. Spent $20 on 2 transfers, and deleted a lvl 50 and a lvl 40 a few days ago :P

nice, i can undo some of the stupid things i did last time it was free, like moving everything to freedom.

while youre in the giving mood, some GR info would be nice . or just lift the nda.

thanks.

Many thanks! Free transfers are a terrific preparatory feature for Going Rogue!

Much love for the Transfers!!!!

Love it.

Thank you

Got the patch ( issue 18 ) Saturday after I logged , can't wait for the 17th . Thanks Devs

Any chance of a free up of inactive names again like what happened with COV?

Personallly, I think they're only doing this to divert attention from the recent forum changes.

awesome!
