Sands of Mu isn't available, and as a vet reward, it counts as paid for

Ninja Run makes the game "pay-to-win"...?
Sorry, I just facepalmed so hard that it caused a slight case of serious brain damage.

This is what 3700 heroes in a single zone looks like.
Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!
I wonder if Power Slide is available? That should be considered a paid-for power, right?
I just never use it since the purple cloud clashes with my costumes.
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!
"A slight case of serious brain damage"...is that like "60% of the time it works every time"?

I'm bi-winning; I have both Ninja and Beast Run.
Since this is a sub game, technically all our powers are paid for.
DM: The Coming Storm, you have entered the door to the north. You are now by yourself, standing in a dark room. The pungent stench of mildew emanates from the wet dungeon walls.
TCS: I use Ninja Run!
DM: Why are you Ninja Running? You can't see where you're going.
TCS: I...I'm Ninja Running the darkness!

Rats, that means I pay to lose.
OP,
You unlock that fire DoT interface slot yet?

Alignment powers
Analyst's Teleporter
Recovery Increase day job
Dimensional Grounding Ray
Power of Black Scorpion/Captain Mako/Ghost Widow/Scirocco/the Hamidon/the Thorn
Ouroboros Portals
Winter Event debt protection
Safeguard/Mayhem Mission success temps (not raided/confiscated powers)
Nictus Transformation
5th Column Uniform
Midnight Visage
Pseudo-Item-of-Power temps
Booster-purchased temporary powers
LKT-1700 Rocket Pack
Sky Raider Flight Pack
Stealth Suit
Web Grenade
Stun Grenade
Jaunt Initializer
...That said, I for one appreciate that the devs split most temporary powers off from, especially, travel temps. It feels good being able to use my Ninja Run in the trials since I basically paid for it. :P
empowerment station powers are disabled, but their timers continue to run

The fact that you included the Phase Shift temp power tells me that was not a serious post.

I'm not seeing a Phase Shift temp power in my list.

yeah i love it every time i fall off the towers cause my lag makes it nigh-unpossible to aim my landings.
Hmm, thought Jaunt was the phase shift temp.
Jaunt Initializer is a teleport. (See also: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/jaunt )

It's the arena teleport power.

Still, you listed AOE mez temps. If you are going to go THAT powerful, why not the Origins?
