Man. If only we could have seen the Crey Projectile Vomiting power in-game.

Blaster AT? Or Controller?

I haven't cried.

But that's only because I'm emotionally dead to the world. If not, I'm sure a tear or two would have been shed.

(What can I say, I live in La-La Land, where you only show emotion if you're being paid.)

Eh. Being honest, as much as I enjoyed GW1, and even though ultimately GW and Wildstar aren't *really* NCSoft, this whole thing as soured me so much that I'm not certain I'll look at either of their offerings.

Don't know if I will go anywhere. I played some WoW several years ago, but didn't stick with it long. Played Guild Wars, which I liked, but I don't know if I'll pick up GW2, since this whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth re: NCSoft. I'd considered trying Wildstar, but same deal.

Not really a big gamer any more anyway, but CoH always had more appeal than just gaming for me. If I do go to another MMO, I doubt I will ever do a subscription based one again. CoH was the only game I considered paying for regularly, even when I wasn't always playing.

This sucks- both for the community as well as all the developers who have spent so much time and given so much of themselves to the game (and who will now need to find new jobs, to boot; even more suckage).

This is the only MMO I've ever consistently played, and though I don't play as often as I used to (and will have to try and cram some major time into; there's still a ton of stuff I haven't done), it will be greatly missed.

Thanks for everything, to everyone at Paragon Studios. And good luck.

I think a Water Blast toon and Nature Control toon on the same team should get some kind of teaming bonus.

Does anyone know offhand if they've changed Zenflower in Vernon von Grun's arc to have Nature Affinity instead of her other random assorted powers? Just curious.

(That lady always gives my villains a really, really hard time.)

I like that this is bundled as a theme; that's a neat feature (although I think I might have that path or aura; not sure). Is the cape bundled as well, or just the aura and path as mentioned. If the cape is in there too, that would be great!

I think ever since Praetoria was evacuated, Television has been losing ratings share to HD, and this is his strategy to recoup those losses.

That was it. I thought something seemed weird.

Thanks!

So, I reinstalled after first posting this, and have been having fun playing again both on the regular servers and the Beta server these past couple weeks.

Tonight, I went to my toons on the Exalted server and noticed one of them- my beam rifle/time defender, is locked. Huh?

So I click on it to see why, and notice that it is locked because it says I don't have Beam Rifle on this account.

Is information on purchases like powersets stored on the HD? Because that would explain why my toon with whom I purchased the power when it came out on my old HD is now locked (I hadn't thought to check some of the costume parts and things that I've also bought, but now I'm curious about). Or is this just bugged somehow?

That must be one of the Watchdogs Protean was talking about.

They mentioned that there are new free for everyone chest emblems for the Hammers of Justice and Void Sanction (Rogue and Vigilante arcs). I'm hoping that we can get the non-Void Sanction Hero Corps emblem for our characters some day. Been wishing for that one ever since the first emblems became available way back with the Vet Rewards.

I thought of a couple that might be interesting:

Probability Control: In-game cheat codes! Not really, and I'm not sure how it could/would work from a programming angle, but something that would alter the percentages in the game- sort of buffs/debuffs, I guess, but with a certain degree of randomness to them, and with a small chance of getting "bad luck" that would adversely affect the player/group.

Emotion Control: We've already got things like Fear, Anger (Taunt), Soothe/Placate, how about adding some other emotions in- Love? Despair? Jealousy? etc. Again, largely consists of buffs/debuffs.

Okay, doesn't sound like there's too much I'm missing. I know I've got a lot of that backed up on another hard drive (albeit somewhat out of date), and the rest isn't really crucial at this point. I was just hesitant to do a new install in case there was something I was forgetting, but I really don't want to miss any more of the summer events (already missed the movie one. )

I think I can still recover that hard drive, it's just got a particularly nasty bit of malware on it that is going to take some deep cleaning to remove. Ugh.

Perhaps a silly question, but I have a new computer for the first time in the 7 years since I've been playing the game, and my old hd is having some issues so I'm not sure I'll be able to copy the files from that computer.

What- if anything- might I be missing if I just do a brand new install on my new computer? All characters are stored server side, right?

Excited by what appears to be some really awesome new content, but disappointed that Praetoria does, in fact, appear to be kaput now. It's my favorite world/zone/side of all three.

Now that the Praetorian survivors are getting some living space in Paragon, though, what about the Rikti? I mean, the Traditionalists have been working with Vanguard and the heroes since Issue 10, and they've yet to get their own plot of land, but the Praetorian refugees have only started spilling in since last issue. I call speciesism!!!!

(Seriously, though, let's at least let the Rikti Traditionalists take over a revamped Crey's Folly, try to reclaim that area from the Crey, Rikti, and Freakshow scavengers there. Throw 'em a bone, eh?)

What Pattern Walker said, x2.

(BTW, Zelazny fan, PW? )

Most evil:

Hatchet and his cannibalistic "feed the ghouls" plot.
Double Barrel (and, by extension, Calvin Scott) and their "blow up the hospital" plot.
