Toga, Sandals, and Laurel

Am I remembering correctly that these pieces will be available at some point from the market, or is it just wishful thinking on my part?

I haven't personally seen them on either test or beta, but to be honest, I don't spend quite as much time pouring over those markets as I do the one on the live servers.

I've got a few minutes to kill, so I'm going to double-check on beta right now, but don't get your hopes up.
EDIT: Nevermind, beta's currently unavailable due to the new patch. I'll try to check later, if someone else doesn't post here first with the news.

Not that I've seen, either actually ON beta or in dev commentary. Only the clubwear (which is now live) and the Roman gear (which was last week).

Beta server just came back up. I checked, the Toga, Sandals and Laurel are not available... so there's little to no chance of them being made available this season, unless they've got some special 48-hour "Valentine's Day Sale" cooked up that they're hiding from us.

If they offered a Spring Fling Pack just during the event I'd buy it..

That's disappointing, but thanks for the replies.

It seems odd that they wouldn't do the same thing they did with the Christmas pieces. I'm glad to have the Roman pieces at least.

It's always possible that they intended the Roman pack to serve the same purpose as the Christmas and Halloween packs. After all they did make a big thing about

Roman = Roman(ce)
Cupid originally a Roman god that has become synonymous with romance.
Cupid's Bow added to the Roman Pack

From the advertisement

Quote:
Shoot "Rome" into "Romance" with new featured items in the Paragon Market™!

Cupid's bow shoots straight to the heart of romance in this costume bundle of Roman-inspired pieces! Like the Roman empire, this 23-piece set won't last forever--it's available in the Paragon Market until February 29, 2012!
And like both previous holiday packs this sale ends when the Spring Fling ends.


Still I myself would love it if they'd sell the Toga, Sandals, and Laurel on the market.

You're probably right. I suppose the quantity is more balanced among the events using the Roman pieces.

Keep your fingers crossed. After all Valentines Day falls on a Tuesday this year. Maybe they'll sell those costume pieces as a part of a one day sale or something.

So would I; plus I think it's worth reminding everyone that with the Christmas items, they waited until a few weeks into the holiday event, to encourage people to actually play that content first. I think it's safe to say that if we get these items on the market, it'll be toward the tail end of the Spring Fling.


FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

I think that if they want to celebrate the "true" spirit of Valentine's day. They should offer a
  • throw rock emote
  • batsmash
  • beheader emote - complete with ax!

From Wikipedia:
Quote:
The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493); alongside the woodcut portrait of Valentine, the text states that he was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius II, known as Claudius Gothicus. He was arrested and imprisoned upon being caught marrying Christian couples and otherwise aiding Christians who were at the time being persecuted by Claudius in Rome. Helping Christians at this time was considered a crime. Claudius took a liking to this prisoner – until Valentinus tried to convert the Emperor – whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that failed to kill him, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate. Various dates are given for the martyrdom or martyrdoms: 269, 270, or 273.[11]

Those rewards are only offered in the ultra rare Valentines Day Tip mission where you come home early from fighting crime to surprise your significant other only to find him/her in bed with your nemesis.
