Discussion: Salute to Statesman Loyalty Rewards on April 18th!

Have you been eagerly counting the days until you can trick silly heroes into believing you're a hero while you carry out your villainous plans while impersonating Statesman? Are you a hero deep undercover in Arachnos, and perhaps even playing the part of Recluse himself? Even if you can't tell us (because you'd have to kill us if you did, you know?), we're happy to announce that we will be handing out rewards for the 2012 Salute to Statesman Loyalty Program to all eligible players beginning on April 18th, 2012, for their existing and thereafter newly created City of Heroes Freedom Characters!

In addition to the truly legendary costume pieces alluded to above, the Helm of Zeus and the Helm of Tartarus, there are a few other items that will be handed out! The full list is as follows:

• Tempered Through Fire, a new Account-Wide Badge.
• The Helm of Zeus and the Helm of Tartarus, inspired by Statesman and Lord Recluse
• Paragon, a new Chest Emblem that all Heroes and Villains can proudly wear.
• The Inner Will costume change emote. Tap into primal forces to change into a new costume.
• A non-combat companion pet.
• The Battle Fury Aura. Your character will appear to be channeling awesome cosmic powers.

All of these special items will be yours on or shortly after April 18th, 2012 as a Thank You from Paragon Studios for your continued support for City of Heroes Freedom, the world's foremost Super Powered MMO! Please remember that you must have had an active subscription during the period spanning December 1st, 2011 and March 31st, 2012 in order to be eligible for these rewards!

Looking forward to this, Freitag! And that thing that's coming out tomorrow!

Though you might wanna check out some of your HTML tags.

So cool! More costume parts on the way! I've already bought all the costume slots, but I'm looking forward to seeing how my various characters look while paying tribute to Statesman.

My signature toon - Phrendon Largo, has always wanted to don the Statesman mask. I am so looking forward to this for him.

It's a shame the muppet head Recluse on the right isn't the companion pet.

Is there any chance that at some point, the Inner Will CCE and Battle Fury aura will be available for purchase, like the Vanguard MVAS mini pet/Vanguard Pack?

Life circumstances put me in a very bad mood and I unsubbed for about a month in December, thus rendering me ineligible for this. A shame Paragon Points Purchases aren't counted. I bought a fair amount recently.

Want want want want!!!!


nao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been sooooo waiting for this. I've had my tank for years now but the helmet can actualy finnish off her bio. And with a 5 year old invul/ss tank by the name of Statesmans Gal that helmet is going to look so good on her.

If I recall it's for VIP's with an active subscription from December 1st 2011 to March 31st 2012

Regarding this picture, something bothers me much: the gloves of the villain, (assuming the Recluse wanabee is avillain) have no glowing part, while the boots have.

Why ? oh why ?

Yes! More good things for those who wait! Can't wait! *dances in joy*

Congratulations. Outside of Zwill's sneak peeks (of which this is one), this is the first "press" style release writeup you've done on this whole shebang since it started.

Don't worry, I got the message loud and clear.

Is that glowy humanoid thingy the pet, or the costume change emote shrunk down to fit?

That is the Wellamental!

I Can't Wait... So as long as you had a VIP Account You can get it? Or is it something else? I use Game time Cards..Is there a difference between subscriptions and the VIP Payments?
