Hate to disapoint, but Dick and Damian will remain Batman and Robin after Bruce returns. Dick takes over as Gotham City's Batman while Bruce goes out to start Batman Inc. And Joker's still running around in Batman & Robin so I don't think he succeeded in killing him.

let me restate I do not want this change unless you guys can make a way to kick offline players, which doesn't seem possible without making a "team vote to kick" option that includes both online and offline players on the TF/SF.

Why? Any griefer can do far worse.

I believe the concern is over fringe cases where you have several legitimate player drops (ISP outage, power failure, etc.) but no way to rebalance the missions to account for that. In the current system, this isn't a problem unless you drop below the starting requirement. With this change, you would have to suffer through the spawns untill the end or just quit the T/SF. I'm not sure how often something like that would really come up though.

Smoothing the XP Curve
One thing that we constantly examine is the rate of advancement in the game. In a future version, we intend to smooth out the leveling curve by changing how much experience is given out for defeating opponents. The intent is to smooth out the “bumps” where players typically get stuck leveling up their characters. Keep an eye on coming patch notes for specifics.

Will this come before or after the double XP weekend? 'cause it'd be nice to smooth out the 30-40 range then get a boost.

Real Numbers
As a general quality of life improvement we will be adding new functionality in a coming version of the game to display the “real” numbers behind your characters and their powers. This includes a user configurable display of important characteristics such as movement rate, regeneration rate, resistances and many more! Additionally, you will be able to see how those statistics are affected in real time by buffs and/or debuffs affecting your character.

I don't suppose we get a timer for our click/buff powers with all that goodness too?

I'm going to be at PAX Saturday. Guess I'll drop by and bug you and whoever else catches my eye.

Invention items with a story purpose and specific zone associated with 'em? I was hoping they would get around to using inventions in a more story focused context, but I figured it would be a few issues out. Nice to be wrong in this case. I wonder if the Co-op TF will require both sides to be on the team to start or if it is just a chance for mix-and-match. Can't wait!!

This game has PvP?

Seriously though, yes.

What would be the opposite of radiation blast anyway?

Thank you for letting me feel powerful when I fight by myself and even stronger when I'm in a group. And before I forget, thanks for letting me look how I want to look at the start of the game instead of the end after countless hours of hunting/farming.

Here's to the CoH team!
