Nice items.
I was hoping for more costume sets though.
"Why is everyone worried that I am spending too much time in Dark Astoria, and the place is starting to make me darker? The truth is, what I have seen, what I know... these are the things that have made me reconsider my direction in life. I am still a hero... I just do things my own way now."
Big thumbs up on the Archetype unlocks. I mean, only good for non-vip folks, but still, those're some killer deals for prems.
You know what would be nice?
A weapons pack for Staff fighting...
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?
Arc Name: Tsoo In Love
Arc ID: 413575
Wow, these are some pretty serious discounts.
All on stuff I either already own or don't need, so I won't be partaking personally, but still... very nice.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

Yeah, and that is the problem, seems like it's a Premmies sale. great discounts for them, which is nice, but nothing other than consumables and some head options that VIP's won't already have.

@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
Not complainin' about discounts. They're always cool.
Any chance you can take back that stupid idea to make the seasonal costume items, though?
The prices you have on the consumables and alignment changes with this sale are really what you should think about keeping in place. Much more reasonable. I can see some of the non vip people being happy with the archetype prices as well.
Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.
It would be nice if VIPs had the option to "permanently unlock" features that are included with VIP, in the event they have to cancel their VIP subs.
As it stands now, VIPs cannot purchase items they already have access to.
I know myself and others would take advantage of such sales in the hopes of planning ahead. Just because we VIPs buy unlocks now, doesn't mean we will cancel our subs.
The way I see it, PS opens themselves to more cash flow if VIPs could buy things such as the AT unlocks or VIP Powersets.
I'm more likely to buy something when it's on sale and save for later, then pay full price later for something I'm kind of on the fence on and don't really "need."
Just a thought 
Either way, the sales are pretty awesome. I'm sure freems and preems will appreciate the discounts.

I think part of the problem is that besides just having general access to a lot of these things, VIPs can 'earn' some of them just by maintaining the subscription. Case in point, the archetypes. By filling up, I believe T4, in paragon rewards you perma-unlock Controllers and Masterminds, so even if you drop to Premium you don't have to purchase them.

Very nice sale prices! Nothing that I need or want, but I'm not complaining!

Agreed about the alignment changes. At that price I would buy them whenever I need to take a hero redside for whatever reason (badging/patron pool unlock). As it is, I'm seriously considering buying a few to stock up until the next time they go on sale.

That was my first thought on this sale as well, although I'm not sure if I'd personally buy it.|

It would be nice to have the option.

Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.

Nothing here that interests me, but it's a pretty good sale nonetheless (especially bringing back a costume piece that is normally restricted to a holiday; please do this more often). Nice work.

Rats, I was hoping for 50% (or more) on the enhancement storage slots

As someone who's stepping down the Premium since they can't afford a sub right now (my sub expires on June 11th), sales of the EATs like this are a big thing (I have a lvl 50 PB, lvl 50 WS, and a lvl 50 Crab). Add in the fact that for the foreseeable future I won't be able to buy more points (and thus buy the EATS at their regular price) sales like this could be considered a 'big thing' since that's /THREE/ lvl 50's that will be 'locked' once I go Premium. There seriously should be a way for people to buy things like this when VIP (especially since I highly doubt we'll see a sale like this on the EATs again any time soon).

i think its nice they are letting poeple unlock the think tank head options, since that was only featured in the halloween bundle

the only reason i can possible think for the think tank head was a pun? like 'get tanked'?
i'm a canadian so don't get the holiday for the celibration (it would be nice if some non american holidays got a nod at least)
but since i have all that already i'd have much prefferd something like a /e beer emote (although T for teen i guess we can't get that)
or a chef's hat , apron or other BBQ related costume options
