News from PAX

4th Quarter for Street Justice kinda sucks. Was the only one of the three new ones on beta I really liked. Hope it's an October 1st rather than a December 31st fourth quarter release. Had a character and costume all ready to go. Wonder why they're waiting that long, the powerset seemed fully ready to go. Probably some marketing mumbo jumbo to maximize sales. *sigh* Guess I can kill time giving the other 2 powersets a longer try.

The villain's name is Abomination? Um, I know the Marvel Abomination is dead, but still....

What's the deal with that snake woman? Is that an existing NPC I've just never encountered or is it something new?

Barbarian High Heelz - foh Reelz

Thanks for the pics and info, Doughboy!

I was just going to make a barbarian character that I had made a costume for a while ago (a piece from the Animal pack actually inspired me), but then I thought "Oh, isn't that new Conan movie coming out? Maybe now is a bad time to just happen to make a barbarian character, hehe"...
Anyway, not important other than I was, once again, wishing we had a fur loin cloth kid of thing!

May as well say this completely too early... While that looks cool, I do hope there may be a version without that belt!

The shoulder parts (and is that a new harness/strap part?) look pretty cool!



Let's see the back items!!!

Hehe, thanks again!

Thanks for the information Doughboy.

I was just working on a Viking type character today wishing we had more stuff like leather armor. If they start with the pieces shown and add more, to better emulate main and leather armors, I will have to use up some of my Points for costume pieces. Well, more of my points.

They have said they wand new things in the store every week. While Street Justice seems to be pretty much ready to go, it makes sense to hold it back a month or so to be one of those brand new weekly items. I would expect the same kind of thing to happen for every new Issue in the future. They give us one or two neat things in the release, but during testing we will see some of the stuff that will show up in the store later.

Am I the only one that's disappointed that the "Minotaur" in the pictures is using human legs, and not the monsterous legs, to show off a new costume part?

I'm guessing this will be another option that won't work with the monster legs. Too bad, as lots of beastial characters might work well with barbarian stuff.

Yes, but you can turn astrals into threads for other characters. It'd be some...extreme grinding, but you could theoretically do it using more than one character

And not to forget , that the many soloable WST's give a Notice oTW , which can be broken into 40 threads.
