You're confusing pre-order with pre-purchase.

Pre-purchase: You paid full price (30 dollars) to have access to two powersets months before Going Rogue released. The rest of the game (Praetoria) could not be accessed until the expansion launched. You don't have to spend any more money to access the new content, except for the items that come with the Complete Edition, which wasn't available for pre-purchase. In order to upgrade, you spend an additional 7 bucks for the costumes, the auras, and the temp power. You trade a free month of gameplay and the ability to have a physical copy of the game for the ability to play powersets early. You also get an opportunity to get into Closed Beta at some point.

Pre-order: You put down money (how much depending on where you do it) to reserve a copy of the Complete Edition when it ships. You don't get access to the two powersets early because you aren't buying the game early, you're just reserving it. You don't get Beta access (unless you could get in a different way, such as Veteran status). You spent an additional ten dollars than the people that pre-purchased, but you get the free month and the item pack, and the disc.

Agreed. They're just highly stylized. Still cool-looking, though.

Pardon my ignorance of British slang, but I just got a lol from this phrase. I'd never heard it before.

Carry on, thread.

Good job, Devs, and thank you, War Witch.

You could also say that there's no need to lock the portal if the elevator is already gated as well. The rest of my point doesn't change. You can still get the badge on every character. You just have to go a more circuitous route to get this particular one, for now.

You could take a picture of it and turn it into wallpaper if you wanted... <.<

Free and unlimited...for an entire week.

We'll see if they extend the end of the transfer period a day or two. Probably so, but how many transfers does one person need to do? Even three or four days should be plenty.

Perhaps that's what they've been doing for the past months, or longer. It's not like this is the first time the online store has gone down, and I'm sure they're doing more than just hitting the reset button each time.

If an extra ten bucks every few months is a burden, perhaps you shouldn't be playing a monthly sub MMO in the first place.

Queues have been in the game for at least the last couple of Issues. You just don't always hit the threshold, even on Freedom or Virtue. The choice was made to either keep the old "Lock the sever before it crashes from overload and have people try again and again to log in, hoping the next time will be the magic time" or "I can't get in, but at least I'm in a line and I know I'll get in at some point when other people leave, and I don't have to manually try and try again" and the latter option won. There is no acceptable third choice with the current server hardware.

Give it a few days to calm down, and the Queue will be rare. Besides, there are no TFs to do in Praetoria, and that's where a ton of people will be anyway. Either that or running Tips/Morality missions to be able to switch sides.

Then my work here is done

This makes zero sense. Durakken, do you read your posts before you hit reply?

There is no evidence to support the idea that superheroes have formed their own government. Batman is a vigilante according to any form of authority you want to name. Even with Gordon watching his back, if the police ever caught him, he'd be thrown into Arkham with the rest of the costumed loonies, and there'd be no law to keep him out.

I'm on that static team, and I agree with this statement....the part about the cranky that is.
