Okay, so if the Battalion are campy space pirates?
That will be awesome.

So are you saying that they will only look campy but have some really good one liners?

I hope so, seeing that the devs have been building them up since (technically I11) I expect them to look and feel like a serious threat, not just to Paragon City, not just to Primal Earth, but to the entire Multiverse!

Most "serious threats" are pretty generic. Which is probably what the Batallion will be...generic.|

But if they are a totally serious threat...that also happen to appear to our Earth-centric senses as campy space pirates...well, I'm not sure there would be anything more spectacular, or less generic from an apocalypse-level threat.

Yep! The Twitch broadcast will be live at the same time as the Summer Event. We hope people make time for both.

Disappointment about moving away from UStream aside, I'll try to catch this on my netbook since my actual gaming computer isn't "connected".
I also have a lot of hats.

Nictus are not Battalion. First crossing of the two I can think of is Twilight Son in Ouroboros (and the "last of the khelds" doesnt' really make a lot of sense at this point, given how widespread the khelds could be... and how early warning could give them a nice head start on scattering through this galaxy and others.) |

However, the name has been thrown around for a while - at one point, they were going to "require" IOs to beat them.

Hey, I think it'd be awesome if they were actually space pirates. Biggest threat to the galaxy turns out to be a bunch of space buchaneers flying through the galaxy in pirate ships.

See, you get it! They need something to set them apart from the Rikti and the Nictus outside of "no, see, the big blue guy totally said they were powerful". And being crazy buccaneers, who seem really ridiculous but are, nonetheless, super-legitimate as threats go, would be a great way to do that.

Arrr. Too late, the Battalion realize that their families are their only true treasures.
Looking forward to the tricorner hat, very much so (I've had a character built around it since it leaked onto the live character creator a while back). Looking less forward to trying to beat the RNG to get it out of a Superpack (I still have yet to get the Elemental Order pants, despite having acquired something like 150 cards with veteran reward tokens). Looking forward least of all to having to wait several more weeks or months for that hat.
In an unrelated matter that I might as well toss out here, "Cord Carney" (the real name of developer Think Tank) would make a great superhero secret identity name.

I sure hope there is a Pirate Run power released along side this so they aren't stuck using Ninja Run...
