Assuming the "Strike Pack" is a free upgrade and not a Booster Pack that is. No reason they couldn't have a booster related to 19 material. I am thinking they really like booster packs these days.

You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.

Considering she mentions the Strike Pack in addition to a booster pack within the same answer? Doubtful. Sounds like it's free.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.
They could always release a booster pack, and include free stuff as well in the patch necessary to implement it. Kill two birds with one stone.
Will wait and see.

What if "Strike Pack" means they stop working and demand more money? Joke's on us!
Actually, I'm hoping it's the long-awaited Additional Targeted AoE Invention Sets pack.

The use of the word "pack" almost always means paid-for content

But isn't the entire Incarnate system already a massive slap in the face?

we will have to see, i do not see the alpha content as being part of a paid pack, i think that was just a particularly snappy phrase. i do expect the booster to be, as all the boosters have, paid content though. i suspect it will be more in line with the mid issue release of the enforcer/jester pack or the February one some time ago that added the av to eb downscaling. they have, in the past, added content outside of issues, and i suspect this will be the case here.
It's the use of the word "pack" instead of "patch" that makes it sound like it might be less than free

Chiaro and Scuro, I got them from a shelter just before the holidays. I'd have pics but I lent my digital camera to a relative and it's yet to return and the kitties wont sit still long enough on the flatbed scanner.

Not in this case.
The name is actually based on the definition of "Alpha Strike."

Well, I wouldn't have minded if it was paid-for - but free works just as well
EDIT: Do you have any hints about it that you could drop for us?

For the first time in a while, CoH news comes out and I don't have anything new to dread over or complain about...for now.
Enjoy the relative silence.

I bet that everyone in Praetoria is going to start mutating into Devoured, because the Resistance decided that it was a good idea to knock out the water treatment facility... forgetting that the Will of the Earth can be spread through the water supply, as the Primal Devouring Earth attempted once. And of course the water treatment facility would be the only safeguard against that. Oops.

Well that's assuming the Resistance took out the water supply, instead of them going with all those others who either didn't blow it up or stopped it to begin with.

That's what I get from this new interview with War Witch.

So, I'm guessing the rest of the Alpha will open up, along with perhaps a new TF or one of the raids they've been working on.
Which means that i20, and all the stuff rumored in it, is further off than I expected.
