He mentioned they would do it on one of the weekly livestreams. They started the trend with Staff Fighting.

Would be nice if it was a 2 week warning. Some of us dont get paid every week. But then again, with bio armor getting destroyed I dont really have anything I'm looking forward to anyway. Maybe rad armor will be cool.

Someone else can dig up a forum quote. Too much work for me. But after the mess of self entitlement that popped up from Staff Fighting, Zwill told us all that we will be told a week ahead of time before powersets come out. This way we get fewer people whining about new powersets not surprising us on the market every Tuesday.

Generally something has to be on beta for at least 6 weeks before release. Water Blast has been there for about 4.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the set, just that it's highly unlikely to release prior to the producers' schedule.

Yeah.
They released the summer event early and look at how that turned out.

It's not like the set is going to disappear if you don't pick it up in the first week. And it's highly unlikely to debut at a discount.

(I'd also imagine that the majority of people--at least in the US--get paid either every other week or twice a month, as opposed to weekly)

With bugged enhancements that can't be properly traded or converted?

Ignoring all the other stuff, and going back to the original question:

You know what would be cool? A flag (complete with cape physics) as a weapon for staff melee. An American one for you guys, and a Canadian one too, since Canada Day is only a couple days earlier. Maybe even throw in a few other major flags for heroes from other countries. Charge 80 points per flag, and include two emotes with each: /em salute_country (pull out [country]'s flag, brace it with one hand and salute with the other) and /em wave_country (pull out [country]'s flag and wave it). Clearly note that you must purchase staff fighting to use it as a weapon, otherwise, only the emotes are unlocked.

I know Americans have some rather extensive rules about how the flag can and cannot be used. If the above violates any of them, forget I suggested it.

That is cool. But doubt it could be done unless the Dev's already had the idea and pre planned.

Absolutely. They could MAYBE slap together a single costume part overnight, if they ignored everything that was currently in the works. Then they'd have to completely skip the QA process, which would PROBABLY be OK for a single weapon, but would set a bad precedent, so it's unlikely they would do it.

So yeah... They'd have had to have already come up with the idea and started working on it weeks, if not months, ago. But if they didn't... maybe next year? ;D

That would be nice to have too with the wig under it? Or w/o too would be sweet.

Maybe more if that era type of stuff (guns swords)

Having a "playing marching drum" kinda what they had then kinda drum emote.

Maybe MOAR firework stuff? Adding to the sparkle, bloom, flair we have

I suspect that's the hat that M_I_Abrams was talking about near the top of the thread.

That's what I expect it to be, too. There was an offhand comment a while ago (on a Coffee Talk, maybe?) about "historical" hairstyles... maybe we're getting a powdered wig too?

I hope there's some nifty sales too, but if there are, I hope they're not the 24 hour variety, because I have less than 400 points left, and I don't get paid until Thursday.

I hope so. Then I can finally roll that Mind Control/NRG Dom I've been wanting to, 'Brain Washington'.

Maybe Zwil meant they'd give a WEAK warning. 24 hours or less is pretty weak.


We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

I think it could be a few of events items now out of stock like Pocket D pack or Halloween... On sale or something.
Nothing new I guess.
