Announcement Here

The cyborg sounds cool. It includes a plethora of costume parts, custom emotes, and custom auras. Pretty nice. 10 bucks.

The jet pack is weak sauce. A jet pack that will disappear after 30 days. The article doesn't say, but I assume it's 30 days in RL. 5 bucks per 30 days.

The jetpack was part of a CoH/V gametime card that was $20 for a month and a jetpack.

People were buying and using tons of cards, presumably because they thought the jetpack was worth $5 a month.

That makes sense. They must have figured that out, which is why they've broken off the jetpack into its own little microtrans.

For myself, by the time I've done 3 paper/scanner missions, my new toon is level 7 or so, and at that point I've got a jetpack that will last for 2 hrs in game. Which is more than long enough to get my character big enough to get a real travel power. In fact, having the jet pack (and the jump pack) enable me to go past level 14, if I want, before picking up the real travel power. So there's zero value for me in the microtrans jetpack.

Not what I was expecting. Not sure if I actually like it.

Probably get these just for Lord Monochrome. He's doing a cyborg/robot thing.

Bought the Cyborg Booster. The costume pieces are very nice, the combat aura HUD is awesome and the self-destruct power looks good but is underpowered (probably intentionally). Haven't tried out the emotes.
