great... now I can't find it... if it even exists.
It's totally possible that I'm making that up, long nights scrolling through page after page of different forums and all that. So until evidence is found:
BR and StJ will be released with i21.

Chad can stop being angry, it's k

Yeah, Titan Weapons is the set we will not see for a while after. STJ and MeanBeam will be available but depending on how they adjust prices, you may have to wait another month before you can purchase it for free. Otherwise on Day 1 you can purchase with the use of real money to buy STJ and BG

Apparently CoT are getting a face lift as well.

These new ones look terrible. Absolutely terrible.

Give us back CoT with robes please. Go back to the drawing board on this one and don't come back without CoT in Robes. Not Tights. Not armor. Not big spiky bits.

No, actually, we were told at Comic Con that they plan to gradually introduce things to the game, including Street Justice and Beam Rifle. Von's Ustream thread basically says they intend to put one new addition into the store every week--"Sometimes we'll have something small in the market every week, sometimes they'll be medium like a whole costume set, sometimes it will be big like a powerset." I assume the intention is to keep interest up, which I can say is certainly working for me.

I was being a little facetious when I said I'd be angry if StJ wasn't available on day one, because I'm pretty sure it won't be.

I thought I heard that Time Manipulation, Beam Rifle, and Street Justice would all be available at I21 launch, and that Titan weapons would be after. I don't have a source, though, so I could be wrong.

I do think that Paragon Studios is going to want to soak up as much of the extra points we've built up as current subscribers on opening day, however. Giving us two Premium sets, as well as a the Circle of Thorns costume set and whatever else they have in store is a good way to do that.

HMMMMMMMMM. Based on what is posted here.... maybe a Fire/Time would be a really really potent set. If it has a heal+ petbased regen, then you can slot +end proc and proc on all the people affected by the regen ticks.... Wow. In general, I wonder if this would be awesomesauce in the way a dom is. Constant action, high versatility.

I thought I read somewhere that Time manipulation was going to be for Defenders, Corrupters, and Masterminds. It didn't occur to me until just now that this excludes Controllers? Did I read that wrong?

You either read it wrong, or got bad info. It will be a secondary for Controllers.

Then I am more than happy to be wrong in this case.

Why the heck were they wanting to adjust the CoT? I could understand the Hellions, Gravediggers, or Outcasts, but the CoT really didn't need a new look. They're still one of my favorite villain groups, and are a nice change of pace from the tights look that the one image we can see here. That look is just... depressing.

Hellions need it pretty bad, as they're a major focus for the first few missions once you get to Atlas.

In the Stalker version of Martial Arts, the secondary/alternate animation for AS is named Fist of Annihilation and does somewhat look like a Falcon Punch. Perhaps the devs should also allow it to be a secondary animation for Street Justice's AS.

I'd even settle for KM's AS animation (HADOYADOKEN!!!!)

Can we get Posi or some dev to straiten then out because that sounds a bit counter productive as well as confusing. A lot of people are saying that it will be available on patch-day just cost money if you want to get it immediately. TW was the only set thus far to be completely unavailable from Freedom and released later - which is why it wasn't necessarily shown yet while BR and STJ were available for selection.

Posi did apparently say this at one point:

[Broadcast] Positron: We're looking into vehicles
[Broadcast] Positron: no promises
[Broadcast] Positron: we'll likely find some weird reason why vehicles don't work
One of those: Yaa!-aww

RE: CoT costumes

Massive thread about it with more pictures and Posi commenting. The one picture here is "ok", I guess, but the others shown make them look like Power Rangers to me. I didn't realize how bad, and unnecessary, this particular change is going to be.

A few questions for those that went to Comicon.

Are the new costume slot purchases global? 800pp per slot per character seems excesive to me I think?

Also... Zone Teleport. How exactly does it work? TPs you to the adjacent zones? It brings down a list like the Train and give you access to all zones you have visited before? I love teleport, so I'd like to know a bit more about this!

Yes. Or at least, supposedly. They've said anything that isn't a consumeable item should be global to all characters on your account.

I didn't specifically test this out... I was a little busy playing with Afterburner (WHOOOOOSH!), but I do know that it will allow you to teleport to any main city zone. I don't know if that includes places like Boomtown, Crey's Folly, Dark Astoria, Eden and the like, but definitely all the major zones.

I'm also not sure where in the zones it TPs you to, sorry.

i was reading in another thread that possibly for all power pools they are letting us pick the 3rd power without a prerequisite

IMO i think they are only doing this for the travel pools, but i was wondering if anyone heard about the other pools

I THINK it's for everything. It may have been a bug--like they were trying to show off travel powers at 4 and broke the other pools as well--or it may have been intended, but the other pools I was looking at said that the T3 was available at level 4 with no prerequisite. I specifically asked a guy who was playing on a dev-created character and respeccing him to try out the new travel powers to check the Fighting pool, and Tough was available at 4.

I also know that the T4 & T5 in the Flight pool unlocked at 14 instead of 20, but required 2 prerequisites. Can't remember for the non-travel pools if they unlocked at 14 as well, but I know that Weave still required 2 prereqs.

EDIT: Just found out last night, the other pools being available at level 4 was unintended. Oh well...

So, if there finally a list of the pricing we can expect now, so were can see what our 400pp a month will (or won't) buy us?
