I have very mixed feelings about this. I have hoped for and dreaded this set coming out. I have a character who at the moment uses a Vanguard (?) katana, which represents her focusing her mental energy into a physical blade. I wanted to have her be mental/ psionic melee and that was as close as I could come. Guess I will be remaking her now... (provided the set is good).
It's a good excuse for another alt, is how I look at it.

Of course, I think any day ending in a Y is a good excuse for another alt. :P

Well, you can DFB to 50 an then have Ramiel contact you as a suitable person to help save the multivese
Plus, from what I've heard, the Vigilante and Rogue Tips and alignment missions have the player carrying out enough high profile acts that could easily attract the attention of gray contacts.

Stupid Cosmic Corsair and its stupid overpriced superpacks. They knew I was gonna make a StJ/Bio Cthulu worshiping pirate, didn't they? And now I need this.

Curse you, Paragon!

This is exactly why I don't bother to over-analyze whether or not level ranged content appropriately matches up to my characters' current alignments. The level 20 threshold for alignment switches is completely artificial - if my character concepts call for them to be played as Rogues or Vigilantes from Day One then that's the way I play/envision them regardless of the current limitations of the game system.

Once my characters hit level 20 I'll switch their alignments to match the established concept, but by that point it's a complete meta-game formality. It's not like all of my characters suddenly decide to have morality-altering epiphanies the millisecond they become level 20.

We have some more Super Packs in line as well, including a special edition pack that will be available for sale around the holidays for a limited time.
Great.

They've been putting in a lot of effort to hide material around the PIGGs of late, yeah. It's getting increasingly hard to find where new content is, to the point I'm surprised they can still find their own stuff. When I saw the thread title, I thought it was referring to those old traces of a moon base that still rattle around the PIGGs like peas in a jar, but this one was rather more recent, it seems.

I didn't even know you could do that. Cool.

What's wrong with that? The place is an island raised from the Earth to the space, not the Moon.

If Matt Miller is the Senior Lead Designer, I wonder who the Junior Lead Designer is.

Or for that matter, who the Senior Bronze Designer is.

Look at the thread title.

It wasn't the weekend when I posted it, nor was it late in the day.

Friday "afternoon" (Paragon time) is close enough.
