Agree. I can wait. Lets my points build.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

XP Boosters?
Just in case you dont know: Enhancement Boosters are not XP boosters, they raise the level of your IO (watch out that ED doesnt make that boost useless). Really good on purple IOs.

Unless you were talking about XP Boosters in general as they werent listed.

They never gave a date on it's release after it showed up in Beta. Can't complain.

And echoing what other folks said, they can't come up with a winner every week for 52 weeks a year. Some months will have loads, some months'll be a bit dry. No big, game's still here an working, and nothing's taken away from us. Don't be so entitled.

Only thing I would buy nao is Retro. Heck, I want i23 for Mecha Armor mostly.

EDIT: But July/August for the new super packs is NOT what I wanted to hear.

Deamus the Fallen - 50 DM/EA Brute - Lib
Dragos Bahtiam - 50 Fire/Ice Blaster - Lib

It makes sense, though, for better or worse. There's enough market stuff being tested on beta currently to push us through until late July, though most of looks to be additional enhancements. And nearly everything will need a run on beta before being launched in the store, so consider any new market releases on beta from this point to be at least 4-6 weeks out from being released on live.

Also, go ahead and prepare yourselves for Retro Sci-Fi being released a few weeks after i23 hits, not with it. (If I'm wrong, you can consider it a nice surprise.)

Main Hero: Chad Gulzow-Man (Victory) 50, 1396 Badges
Main Villain: Evil Gulzow-Man (Victory) 50, 1193 Badges

Oh, there are good reasons. I'm sure they are concerned about their competitor getting "The Last Laugh" on them (in early June)

I mean, then what? More feline travel powers, or pets maybe?
Its not like I want to spend money, is the fact I got around 3000 PP and I cant find something worthy to spend them.
Really sad and dissapointing.

Probably some of that- we haven't really seen water blast beta'd after all, so we don't know what stage its in.

Some of it is they DO have to pace themselves- there are other threads with people venting about market burnout, so you need to mix some "light" weeks in as well...

Also note that the new issue is still brewing. They usually don't want a 'big' thing to be released concurrently with an issue- the issue is news enough, so the market item gets lost in the hype.

The Three-Corner Hat first showed up 6 or 7 months ago. There was speculation that it would be included with some President's Day bundle. But February came and went and still no hat. Seems like they forgot about it.

And they could put the damn Origins cape pack on sale. 400 pp for 5 capes is WAAAAAY too much. 50% off would get more nibbles.

That is one of the many costume packs I've been waiting to see go on sale. The Carnival bundle is another sale I've been waiting for. I can't bring myself to spend 400pp on it if the male models only get access to the weapons. It's not even that many pieces.

I know what you mean. Heck, if they just ported over the masks I'd buy that pack immediately. As of now even if it goes on sale I wont buy it. I can do without the weapons until the males get some carnival love.
