    More along the lines of things you would use with a Staff Fighting character and things you would use while leveling a Staff fighting character.

    Yes, those hours between 1 am and 8 am are being wasted on sleep.

    (Snarkiness aside, Engineering time is almost always tight and in high demand.)

    Notes should be up soon.

    And if you have a character with a castable group buff, they would spam it constantly, just like a costume contest!

    I'm not a programmer either, but I imagine some of our programmers are gnashing their teeth at this statement .

    This issue has been resolved. Freedom is once again available.

    Incidently my 5 year old made her first CoH character over the weekend. As a responsible parent I do have to complain about the amount of skin the default Witch outfit setting shows : "You're not going out dressed like that young lady". Quickly fixed and 'Nessa the Witch' was born (Nessa being the name of her imaginary friend)
    It's entirely likely she may run into my boys running around Atlas Park one weekend (we only let them play on the Weekend...Daddy has to do Trials during the week ).

    Which reminds me, I need to move the other computer to the downstairs office so they can play together.

    I'm sure that there's some sort of programmer logic behind it that involves math or something.

    Math is hard.

    Nah, out of all of us, he's usually in the earliest. Freitag is very punctual!

    I'm fairly certain I've brought idea to the dev team before, but I can certainly broach the subject again.

    This was my fault for not getting the notifications up yesterday. My apologies and we'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

    We should have patch notes up within the next hour or two once Freitag gets in the office.

    Thanks!

    I realize that some folks want it nau, and I certainly appreciate their enthusiasm.

    When it comes to major releases, we're going to try letting you all know they're coming a week in advance and pair that with Paragon Market sales that would be appropriate to prep for your new characters (such as the character slots being 50% off this week.) We will, of course, have items featured next week that compliment Staff Fighting.

    You discovered my evil plan...Staff will be held hostage until I receive a hat of every color.

    You will all be pleased to know that Staff Fighting is coming next Tuesday.

    GOOD MORNING.

    Currently the Freedom server is offline due to issues discovered following this morning's publish. Our current estimated time of restoral of services is 12:00 PM CDT/1:00 PM EDT/10:00 AM PDT. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Thanks and we'll keep you updated.

    Anything is possible. I'll certainly pass along the suggestion to the development team.

    AFAIK, this is a bug. The chest piece is not intended to be available to players. I may be proven wrong, but per my current information this is the case.

    Guys, these are still WIP and we did not intend them to be seen this early. Let's not send ourselves into a spiral this weekend talking about them.

    Thanks!

    It certainly would be a shame not to put one of Positron's favorite concepts for a Powerset in game.
