    No, they're just magical.

    As long as it was used sparingly (i.e., not updated hourly since it pops up and, in general, pop ups are evil ), may I suggest using the GMOTD that gets updated on Tuesdays with the current and next few weeks' worth of WSTs and Market releases.

    Ligers vary in appearance depending on how the genes interact and on which subspecies of lion and tiger are bred together. In general, males grow sparse leonine manes and the facial ruff of a tiger. Males and females have spotted bellies and a striped back.

    But apparently Marketing has a massive blind spot toward Staff Melee and the Devs have arleady lost track of the new powerset they've made a few months ago.

    Aaah well...
    Or... they're following up with ancillary goodies to all those who have taken up Beast Mastery and fully supporting a power set and theme.

    I'm sure when Staff comes out, people would want to see more options for staves and maybe a sale of the Martial Arts pack and Imperial Dynasty pack and Melee SBEs for sale and Ninja Run on sale... the kind of stuff they're doing for Beast Mastery right now.
  5. Didn't they already increase the size of the Lion rig in Beta because it was the size of the German Shepherd?
  6. I realize there is disappointment and impatience for staff-ophiles in that they still have to wait.

    But what Paragon is doing is fully supporting a new powerset -- Beast Mastery. All the MM IOs are on sale as Attuned SBEs, Coyote travel power, German Shepherd vanity pet, recent sales of Animal pack and Barbarian pack, etc...

    They got the doggie rigs out, now they're rolling out the kitty rigs.

    And I hate to be a downer for you staffers... but the Panther Stealth travel power was on Beta, so, good chance that will be next week to round out the beastly stuff.

    As far as I know, there were no rigs available on Beta for Tiger and Domestic Cat forms... so, at least that shouldn't hold off Staff.

    Someone won that lottery, so less probable things have occurred.

  8. It also means MMs can have flying-all-the-time henchers while they themselves remain grounded.
  9. Aren't we also waiting for the Lion vanity pet and the Panther travel power to drop?

    No. Some are newer.

    Plus the news of Second Measure is relatively new. And the confirmation that Television is on 'some other project' is also relatively new.

    Yes, there were hints months ago, but this month brings the evidence to the tipping point... at least, the tipping point *for me.* The hints months ago were the same hints years ago which were plain misread and never came about, like the speculation that came about when Positron was moved to 'some other project.'

    Yes.
  12. I think you discovered the secret.

  14. Well... there is precedent....

    The Joker. The Jester 'class' of Gauntlet. The Drunken Master of 1v1 martial arts video games. Kender. Disney's Aladdin's Genie. Mr. Mxylupagus (not bothering to look it up). Impossible Man.

    Not to mention how many 'supers' have circus/carnie backgrounds to account for their strength or agility or side-show freakishness.

    Bizarre, comic-relief, side show: Not alien to the genre.

    Who's to say at least one of them isn't real and coming soon?

    It has not been unknown for a friendly to remain hostile. For that matter, it has not been known for hostiles to attack each other.

    It is not known for either to be widespread, but rather, confined to a particular NPC or faction. If it were widespread, there'd be a lot more reports of such a thing. I wouldn't worry.

    Guess again.

    Because this time, "exciting new project" isn't just referring to upgrades to CoH, but a "new game." When Positron was pulled off lead dev position for an exciting new project, it was to develop the Incarnate System and iTrials.

    With Television and Second Measure no longer in the CoH circle and want ads referring to two games... now I'm a believer.

    They've been saying that since before Ultra Mode.

    When they start hiring people to work on two games at once, then you know for sure that 'next gen MMO' isn't just referring to CoH upgrades.

    That's why they gave you one to use every three days... not for your convenience when you don't feel like completing the mission, so that showstopping bugs don't stop the show.

    Are you running into showstoppers at a frequency more rapid than once every three days?

    Ummmm....

    So, when will this be released? Hmmmm??

    You could have pulled the best AF ever by quietly slipping it into the market today.
