City of Heroes/Villains: Cyborgs & Jetpacks

City of Heroes/City of Villains players have a couple of new options available in the NC Soft store: Cyborgs and a 30-day Jetpack. Find out how to get them below:

Super Booster I: Cyborg

City of Heroes Super Booster I: Cyborg includes an extensive costume set, three character emotes, four selectable auras that activate in combat mode and a special Cyborg "Self-Destruct" power. This purchase enables these features for all characters on your game account

Mini Booster: Temporary 30 Day Jetpack

Sometimes even super powered Heroes and Villains can use a lift. City of Heroes Mini Booster: Temporary 30 Day Jetpack includes a jetpack travel power for all characters on the game account for 30 days, beginning at the time of purchase. After 30 days the jetpack will no longer be include within each character's selectable powers.

Remember: These are real-world currency "microtransactions". Grab the nitty gritty details at the link above.

Brilliant! This is exactly my theory on microtransactions - temporary benefits, thereby keeping the overall 'fairness' of the game in tact. Well done NC Soft. Have a view of my take on what microtransactions should/could be if you like at:
