    Buying for others won't be available at launch, but they hope to add it later.

    WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME YOUR FAITHFUL SERVANT?!??
    If you makes you feel better, I'm not in it.

    Casual player? <raised eyebrow>

    Does that mean you play 20 hours a day in your boxers?

    I had to say no. I had a work related obligation for which it was necessary for me to attend to, otherwise, I would have definitely gone.

    You're charged for alterations, not to purchase. All costume changes in the tailor have a price. If you have a Costume Token, you can 'spend' that instead.

    Most people keep saying October.

    I'm betting most people would be wrong.

    The way I read Paragon Studio tea leaves says September.

    Nobody who has received it will have it taken away.

    The free gifting of the Wisp Aura, which was the carrot to make people early adopters of the new Launcher, will stop on Aug 4.

    Currencies

    If we get rid of Vanguard Merits, then how is it that the Reward Merits I got from doing Silver Mantis' Strike Force means that the Vanguard will now give me one of their HVASs?

    Currencies tie specific rewards to specific tasks. If the link makes sense, the currency should stay despite the fact it 'confuses' people.

    And 'confuse'? Really? Figuring out an IO build for a character is several orders more confusing that keeping track of currencies. Is it really confusing? Do you walk away from your computer saying, "I just tried to buy an HVAS with Villain Alignment Merits and I couldn't! I just don't understand how this works!!"

    I'm priceless. You can't afford it... or, wait, does that mean I'm free.

    I get those confused.

    Probably why I keep finding myself having to break out of indentured servitude.

    You can get someone else for 2,400 Paragon Points. Or, you can buy five players for 10,000 PPs.

    Currencies

    The only 'currency' I find unnecessary is Shards and Shard-components. The Thread-currency is more finely granular and can completely absorb and eliminate the Shard-currency.

    Fearsome Stare

    As the OP mentioned, if you're using Nightfall, then all the feared foes are going to retaliate. It's better if they miss.

    If you're going to focus on single target attacks, then perma-Fear would be more useful.

    Fearsome Stare

Anyone have their own preference and can weigh in on this?
    Both Tentacles and Fearsome Stare should be slotted for -ToHit.

    Tentacles is 9.375% -ToHit, with 2 SOs, 15.6% -ToHit
    Fearsome Stare is 18.75% -ToHit, with 2 SOs, 31.2% -ToHit

    Total of 46.8% -ToHit.

    If they don't have any -ToHit resistance, you just soft capped them.

    And that's before Nightfall's 9.375% -ToHit added in.
  16. I'd like to see a co-op contact whose arc requires you to defeat the four Recluse lieutenants that unlocks all the EPPs. This way, anyone of any alignment can take it and there is a good in-game rationale why you have access to any one of the Patron's EPPs.

    Also, that contact is level 40+ so that you can unlock them *before* you hit level 41, thus doing away with the need to grant a respec.

    Overall lead design has a new title: Producers.

    Consumable powers.

    Not Powersets.

    So, let the 'people' know.
