Discussion: Featured Items on the Paragon Market 4/1/12

New featured items in the Paragon Market™!


Coming in April to the Paragon Market is a whole slew of new items for your characters to further customize and differentiate themselves with, as well as some unique items like we have never offered before!

Liger Pet



Bred for their skills in magic, the liger pet is the perfect thing to show off your favorite animal (pretty much). This half-tiger, half-lion vanity pet is an unwavering companion for your tater-tot eating hero. Why buy a time-machine online when you can buy a liger for a fraction of the cost?

Price: 400 Paragon Points

Vanity Pet



This four legged companion pet will act as a true reflection of your character. Its fine wood exterior can withstand even the toughest super powered attacks. Assembly required, allen wrench included, but other tools will be needed.

Price: 400 Paragon Points

Custom Power Set



Purchasing this item will get you a phone call from the designers at Paragon Studios who will walk you through the process of creating your very own customized power set of unimaginable power. You decide the Archetypes it works with, what attacks and buffs it has, and what the animations and effects are supposed to look like. Please allow up to 8 months for the power set to appear in the game.

Price: 750,000 Paragon Points

There is Always One Identifier



This will give you 5 charges of the "Who Hasn't Clicked The Button?" power. Executing this power while you are one person away from entering an event or Incarnate Trial will highlight name of the character you are still waiting on. In addition, a giant arrow indicator will appear over their head, the game will send them a tell, email them, send an SMS to their phone, call their home telephone and dispatch a local security firm to their house to get them to click the "Enter" button.

Price: 160 Paragon Points for 5 charges. Less when bought in bulk.

Babysitter



Want to get in that Shadow Shard Task Force without worry? Need someone to watch Junior while you blaze through the newest content update? Purchasing this will allow you to schedule a four or eight hour babysitting session where one of several Paragon Studios employees will come to your home and watch your little one(s) while you play City of Heroes. (Maximum four children and eight hours at a time).

Price: 250,000 Paragon Points for 4 hours, 450,000 PP for 8 hours

Clown Summoning Power Set



With the Clown Summoning Power Set for Masterminds, you will be able to command and control your own circus of clowns. The minion pets are three traditional happy clowns, with squirting flower ranged attacks and balloon-sword melee attacks. The lieutenant pets are of the sad clown variety, and finally the boss clown is a vicious mime with a very powerful self-containment attack that puts himself inside of an invisible, shrinking box. Clowns arrive on the battlefield via a single tiny car that they all pile out of.

Price: 800 Paragon Points

Rularuu Costume Change



Changes your character's model to that of Rularuu, the 50 foot tall insane god-like, dimension eating, being that is trapped in the Shadow Shard. Please use outdoors only, as your character may not fit on many indoor maps.

Price: 400 Paragon Points

Bee Bark Upgrade



City of Heroes has dogs. City of Heroes has bees. Now City of Heroes has dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you. This upgrade power will work on the wolf companion pet, the black wolf companion pet, the umbra beast, and the minion and boss summoned wolves from the Beast Mastery power set. It will give those creatures the ability to shoot bees out of their mouths as a ranged attack. "Simpsons did it."

Price: 400 Paragon Points

Perhaps not as intricate as previous offerings, but I liked it.

Love all these . Make it so Devs , so the mass exodus supposedly of this game will discontinue

Want that clown MM set btw

Some of these items made me laugh.

Way to go PS!

Finally we 'have' Clown Summoning, now what you have to say Positron?
*Throws a water balloon at Posi*

Why does he ruins it with "*NOT*" in the title?!

I would totally buy the Rularuu costume power, and I would thoroughly enjoy seeing a bunch of Vanities following people around all over the city.

Getting my $9,400 ready to right now. Hit Streak can you make sure Dink is the Dev that calls me. I mean I like Synapse and all and I know he is the powers guy, but Dink makes such pretty costumes and I would like to incorporate that element into my new custom powerset.

Thank you.

Disclaimer: Paragon Studios employees are not licensed babysitters.

Heh, these were great. I particularly loved the "There's always one" thing (It's so true!) and the literal "vanity pet." Clown summoning is funny too, since I'm imagining that summon animation.

I totally want that Rularuu costume change thing, too.

If only.
If only.

60 MILLION DOLLARS for the Custom Powerset????!?!?!?!?!?!


That is the final straw in the coffin!!!
Stop being so greedy!! Another big mmo that I won't name, but will elude to even though you all know exactly who I am talking about and I am clearly demonstrating acknowledgement of the rule that I am failing to bypass... *takes breath* could offer this power for FAR LESS MONEY!

SHAME... SHAME on YOU Paragon StustustuStudios!!



P.S. Nice job! A well done obvious joke is far better than an obvious attempt to be tricksy.

I bet if you actually did buy 60 million dollars worth of Paragon Points, they would have no problem making a powerset for you

Wouldn't mind a giant growth temp power (for double size, out of combat)
Also that portable tailor is something I can see a lot people would use (as for the desk and mirror pet thing)
I hope that future content and April fools aren't mutually exclusive
good stuff
Bee bark reminds me of monkey journey to the west tale btw

My favorite is the barking bees attacks for the wolves/dogs. That one thing should make it into the game, but only for the black wolf pet as it would further enhance the awsomeness of getting something so rare.

Looking at "There Is Always One" - I hope it's like Think Geek's iCade which was so popular they made it. (And clown summoning could be fun.)

As for the Rularuu power, I would only use it if I get his health and powers

I stumbled across this checking my Facebook feed this morning, and I proceeded to be highly amused. Bravo, with extra kudos for the stuff that's in tune with what's on people's minds. I really loved the "Enter Event" one.

Thanks, P S...I needed a laugh today!!
