When the wiki is back (I have no idea why it's down right now, all of Titan seems to be missing), go to this page:

I've dreamed about City several times, but I never remember details. I remember after one DXP weekend (where I took days off and slept very little), I dreamed three nights straight about full-team steamrolling madness. It made me take the next DXP weekend much more lightly.

I *love* using Burn on my brute, but he *does* have access to an AOE immobilize, so it negates the fear effect because I immobilize the group before I burninate them. I also have AOE knockdown in Lightning Rod and Thunder Strike, which keeps them in their place if my immobilize is recharging. *laughs hysterically and runs into game to play her ele/fire brute some more*

Start by searching for "Issues" and "Timeline" and "Patch Notes".

The first one will give you a list of all the Issue patches to the game (the big numbered patches).
The second one will give you a time-related listing of Issues and various events (real-life events, not in-game storyline stuff).
The third will give you access to the patch notes for nearly every single patch that's hit the game; as of right now we're only missing like 2-3 patch notes, IIRC and off the top of my head. (I don't at all expect you to read every single one. )

After you're done with that, search out specific stuff that interests you. Depending on how long you've been gone, the Invention System is important, as is the Mission Architect, the Faultline and Rikti Crash/War Site zone revamps, and a bunch of other things. Just start following breadcrumbs around to things that look interesting/different.

I agree with most of that list, though a few I would shuffle around (I would put SWG lower than EverQuest and Ultima Online, and I would put City up a spot or two maybe, but as an avid player I am biased and have a more intimate knowledge of the impact on MMOs by my favorite game, whereas the gaming community at large mostly goes "City of Heroes? You mean that old game that brought capes to the MMO world...?").

Warshades are awesome in and out of a can.

Psi/Mental blasters will be neutered in the middle-to-end game against some enemies (some enemies have heavy psi damage resistance). Though to be honest, the vast majority of enemies don't have any or have a weakness to psi. But the enemies with resistance can be found just about everywhere.

Warshades don't have this problem because they're negative energy based. Of course, there are NE-resistant foes, but not as frequent or as high resistance numbers.

(NOTE: Pairing Psi/ with something other than /Mental, or /Mental with something other than Psi/, goes a *VERY LONG* way to not plink those enemies to death instead of ripping through them like butter.)

Tech & Bugs forum will garner you better, faster response.

Get the pets out of melee. She heals off of everything in melee.

Uhhh, Grandville has two merit vendors:

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Merit_Vendor
# Grandville:
* Just off the Ferry (2714.1, -486, 3115)
* In front of Lord Recluse's Statue (2775.7, -391.6, 1775.7)

Yes. If you remove someone from your global list, you are also removing yourself from their list. Server friends list operates differently and does not do anything to another person's list if you add or remove that person.

There are occasionally bugs, and you are not removed from their list. Those are bugs though, not an 'option'.

Freedom was previously the busiest server. Virtue has currently overtaken it as number one, but not by a large margin because Freedom shows up number one occasionally. No one knows if it's permanent or just temporary.

No, he meant defense checks use the higher number. If you have 40% AOE defense and 10% fire defense and get hit by a Fire/AOE power, it will check against AOE. If you get hit by a Fire/Ranged, it will check against Fire. If you get hit by a Smashing/AOE, it will check against AOE. If you get hit by a Smashing/Melee, you have no defense.

You will get better response in the AT-appropriate forum.
