Things happened.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Can we get some pricing listed with those 25% Off and 50% Off items?
It's difficult to pre-plan purchases without pricing info. I'd prefer to map out my purchases first in case I need to add points.
EDIT: Previous Featured Items posts have listed the regular and sale price for items on sale. Can we get a little consistency?
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Yay Beast Mastery! Now to wait for Cold Dom to be ported.
*Nudges devs* HINT! HINT!
Been a month and no SSA7? Really wanted the final issue of this mini series. Feels like I am back in the 90's waiting for an Image comic to be shipped in and was delayed because of (insert reason here)
.Guess I will play with the beasties.
It seems weird to put the old xp boosters on sale with new, more powerful, xp boosters coming... and no idea what the pricing is on them.
Freitag this is great news and all, but can we get someone from the dev staff to come clean on the Converters and why they are not available for purchase via AM's, EM's and HM's and are only available for purchase with RM's.
As you are aware, some of us planned on purchasing these converters via AM's, EM's and HM's and not via RM's, and planned our last months activities around game activities that rewarded ONLY AM's, EM's and HM's and NOT game activities that reward RM's.
Thank you.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Beast Mastery is cool and all, but I don't play MMs, so it holds little value to me.
With next week bringing WWD #7, I won't be purchasing anything until April, which means I'll have over 2000pp in stipend saved up. Starting to feel like a burning whole in my digital pocket...

Well there's really only one of two reasons they are currently limited for purchase to only RMs: 1) Either the ability to purchase them any other way is currently buggy and/or nonfunctional or 2) They limited them to RMs on propose as a means to do a final phase of "in-game testing" just to see how much impact they are going to have on the game before they released the flood gates on the entire feature.

Everything is good and all...
But, I'm a little confused as to why Beast Mastery has been dropped before Staff Fighting...

Considering they mentioned Staff Fighting in Pummit Fall 2011 and absolutely nothing about Beast Mastery, I'm actually kind of appalled that Beast Mastery was released first.

Also, Staff Fighting is clearly the more desired power set. While prolonging the release does not really increase the desire for the set (those who want it are going to buy it no matter when it comes out), by releasing this set first, they are most likely trying to get people to buy it first, to "satisfy their desire for something new and shiny" before the objects of their actual desires is released.
It's clever marketing strategy.

But I think it's to do with recent set releases. If both of them are relatively ready, they might have released it because they wanted the pet set out first, rather than staff fighting after street justice and titan weapons.
Where is the 7th part of the story arc? Hasn't it been over a month >_>
A side, but connected question:
Regarding the female BM display character: Just what IS that...hat...that she's wearing? It looks like something with antlers. And more importantly, is it available anywhere?
My in-game spell check is 6 slotted for damage.

It's not antlers. She's wearing the CoT hood with the Organic Armor head detail (Detail 1 I believe).

Extremely disappointed that staffs still aren't live.
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

What we really need is a post-holiday clearance sale in which the price of all leprechauns is drastically reduced. :P

I think that they're trying to reduce the gap between the end of SSA1 and the start of SSA2.

Staff Fighting is being delayed while they adjust the volume of its sound effects up by 400% to make it feel more powerful.
(I think some of the devs must be hard of hearing based on some of the recent sound FX work.)
On-topic: Pricing would be nice for the OP and the two thumbnail images do not link to the full size pictures (here and here).
Seems weak mechanically and the pets are too uniform to give the set any pizzazz in the style department too. This is the first new powerset that I won't be purchasing.

I would add a lack of pizzazz and a big meh in the power department as well. Weaksauce.

aside from the ssa7 being out next week it will also be really close to when the salute to satatesman loyalty program comes to a close (ie 4 days after the sig arc is out)
I'm really pleased to see Animal Henchmen for Master Minds become a reality in City Of Heroes! It's been something long dreamed about by players (and developers alike, I'm sure). And it is no small thing to achieve such things, so I just feel like making sure it is acknowledged... Congratulations on another notch for making ideas come alive.
