Every zone will be free for all PvP(but can still make teams) and all game Avs/heroes/EBs will come out to buy stuff and trample people. Statesman will probably leave a path of destruction on his way to Cape and Face Plates Galore but don't think of taking him out cause he looks like he is alone will probably have a large group of supers following in his wake buffing him so they can get to deals faster. Hopefully Winter Lord doesn't show up to get early x-mas stuff or everything within a half mile of where he is will be a massive rolling battle with Snow monsters.
Basically if you want anything show up with 1-3 full teams depending on how popular the store is and get in fast then blast a hole in the roof and fly out just in case there are any really powerful guys going for the front door.
If you don't have time for any hosp visits you better avoid malls at all costs cause they are likely to attract whole factions, think Hollows cave maps packed tight with trolls can be hard? Just think of that entire map of trolls packed in one store.
Hopefully GW doesn't realize that arcane groups like CoT are very likely to go after the same stuff as her or she might decide to make a deal with one of them, then we will end up with GW so infused with magic she will perma-hold everything that comes within 100yds of her.
This would make the greatest game event ever.

Which is why I took the time to go out and rob several banks.
You see with the heroes and law enforcement busy with the mobs in stores it was quite easy to rob the banks. And now come Cyber Monday I'll be able to get all the items I want for my Deathray, my friends Doomsday device, as well as all of my Holiday and Birthday shopping for the next year.
And the best part is all the purchases will be 100% Legal because the stolen money would have been laundered over the weekend.

That is the result of being hit with a really high mag confuse or stun power.
Edit: Or a serious lapse in judgement one might expect from some one like a petless mastermind or a Kin who doesn't take SB.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

I think the optimum team makeup for a Black Friday run would be:
Granite Tank, because they are big and usually teleport. They are strong against mez attacks, like false sales and people using dirty tactics. Have them in the back, taunting and holding the masses while you run in.
Earth/kin controller, because you need to slow others down and lower their defense to Being Easily Distracted. Speed boost is good, but be careful! Run into a rack and you'll lose time!
Shield scrapper: Should be in front, permanently scrapperlocked and salelocked. Low hitpoints but fast Buy Now Damage makes it worth their while. Shield should be in shape of a shopping cart. Use Shield Charge only if necessary.
AR Blaster, because... you should always have a gun.
So, there's a question that popped into my head a few weeks back. And I've been mulling it over for awhile, and I finally decided it was the right time to ask. My question for the Devs is... Just how do Black Fridays go in a city full of people with Super Powers? I mean, Black Fridays are lethal enough in cities that arn't loaded with people that can set stuff on fire with their minds, break into armored bank vaults with their bare hands, or actually sit through the entire showing of Batman and Robin. So, how are they handled in a place like Paragon City? (God forbid what the Rogue Islands would be like).
