No bites on your joke, because I knew someone would use that!
I think some sets are on sale, as well as some ATs? I can never tell what's really on sale until they release the Featured Items announcement.

I know the ATs on sale are part of the Memorial Day weekend sale that ends today. Same as the Think Tank head package, the alignment change token, XP Boosters and Revival power.

That must have been what I was seeing. So I have no idea what's featured today.

They put up the new featured items.
Meh.
Agua Man lvl 48 Water/Electric Blaster
"To die hating NCSoft for shutting down City of Heroes, that was Freedom."
hopefully they will have something awesome next tuesday since it sounds like a big day anyway if i23 is supposed to be out that day as well
If the vault increase was +10 I might get that. Otherwise... I agree, meh!
For next week, I am going to guess there will be another round of 99cent VIP 1 months, sale on TW, and maybe 25% character slots.

Since we jump from I23 and the Paragon Market on this thread, I figured I'd post that I23 is on the Training Room in, what I assume is, preparation for next weeks release.
The patch notes are too long to quote, so here's the link: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...18#post4252318
EDIT: Odd... Retro Sci-Fi is on that patch. I thought it was coming after I23.

Could be that they're putting it on test for testing, but it won't launch with I23. I hope it does, though. |

Retro Sci Fi is here, and costume slots are still on sale (although at 25% off instead of last week's 35% off).
The Beam Rifle power set is also on sale, how's everyone's experience with it? I may just pick it up.

Really enjoyed beam paired with traps on my Corruptor. With another beamer, it's just silly. But even solo, I still have a blast and don't feel "weak" or feel like I'm slogging through stuff.|

Personally didn't like the other options for pairing with beam with the various AT flavors; devices was the closest other concept I thought of rolling, but I get more usefulness with the debuff options. That, and I saw Shamster remind me why I don't like Devices that much anyway and his numerous deaths didn't help it.
I've already forgotten about most of you
Picked up the Retro set... have a number of toons that can use the costumes and the custom weapons. Had a hard time finding the Bubble Helmet, though... it's Detail 2 under Normal heads...

It's a noisy set -- not quite as noisy as standing next to a portal in Portal Corp, but if you're really rolling the attack chains, it's close.|

I also wasn't that thrilled with the options for the rifle itself, though haven't yet seen the two new rifles in the Retro Sci-Fi set. I ended up going with the DUST rifle as being something with in-game history.

You folks should mark this day on your calendars. I'm going to pick up the retro sci-fi costume set.
Already had the beam rifle set from when it was introduced. Just never really did anything with it. I'll have to figure out what I want to pair with it as this will probably be my next iso's toon.

I love the Beam set. One of my main raiding toons is a Beam/Time Corruptor. Good damage (plus it's energy!), the Disintegrate effect is nice, and it looks cool!|

It is loud, though, as someone above mentioned.

New Mecha set has a pretty sweet looking rifle as well. Actually a lot more options for Beam than it had at the start. Vanguard, sci-fi, and even steampunk from some packs or out of the box.|

I still rather wish that beam had riffed on the existing beam weapons from the Bots MM set, but it still is pretty fun. The ST damage packs a nice walllop as well. Weaker on AOE, but it works well if you open with your smaller cone or Nuke first. Cutting Beam is a very wide cone, so it works well later in a fight.
If you like Blasters, I'd recommend a secondary that lets you lean on the Primary more once a fight start. Energy works well there, and Fire is working out okay for me, knowing that I'm not going to leverage it too much.

And MG, I expect to see a black panther wandering around the base next isos.
So I23 June 5th, Blockbuster Summer July 10th, and you'll never see a Panther in Isos unless Ham or Voodoo buy it.
