That sounds cool if I'm reading it right.

One month of trying all the "pay" builds free, one week at a time.

Umm, no SPECIALIST??? Oh well, no point then.

I'm hoping they come up with a Batman-type AT. I used to have a character like that before the f2p destruction(i mean conversion). Unfortunately, it was accidentially deleted by my lil girl and even though I petioned Cryptic a few hrs later and every day since they. they have refused to restore my character, and hvent even responded!!!

CO - great game for your first time playing through content. Though, the customer service is lacking, since ,as we all know, the devs at Cryptic are SOOOOOO LAZY and jaded, only third behind Mythic and Soe's devs.

GET SPECIALIST!!! the deadpool/deathstroke AT!!

@(Unverified) The Gold ATs are a on a rotation so I'm sure the Specialist will come up.

I love how hundreds of people will rush to pile on Cryptic/CO when they think they're doing something bad, but as soon as news breaks that they're giving away free character slots and free trials of premium content, what do you get? The Three Stooges. Sheesh.

Never underestimate people's right/need to b*tch.

Besides, keep in mind the naysayers, trolls, whiners, or whatever you want to call them don't represent everyone, or even the majority in most cases, just the people who cry the loudest.

I was under the assumption we all knew that Cryptic sucked as a company and that they needed to puill a Flagship as fast as humanly possible after making the game one of the biggest Pay To Wins (outside of anything made by Perfect World) I've ever seen. They make you pay for archetypes, even though they're gimp versions of what VIPs get (IE, the power to actually customize your character)... and to be competitive or viable for end-game/pvp, you HAVE to pay them monthly.

Just another crappy Pay To Win, or Unlimited Trial, whatever you want to call it. I believe I'll stick with LOTRO... since they give you Cash Shop money in-game, which pretty much balances everything automatically.

It’s their business model that makes me hesitant to spend money on champions as opposed to the game itself. The archetype system is one major example of this as it locks out one of the major draws of the game unless you’re willing to commit to a subscription. I’m subscribed to DDO as a VIP, but if turbine were to lock premium members into those lame preset character paths, it would drive me closer toward quiting than anything else they’ve done this year.
