So the entire auction house is based around how popular you are? Sounds like highschool all over again

Love the donation idea, or even the replacement day job idea.

Bruising sounds interesting. I did not notice it when playing last night, but I was running flashbacks to the new low level missions. Does it have much of an impact?

I like the health increase too. Need to check out my WP tank and see how it impacts his max health now.

On a side note: I missed this game SO much

It has been about a year and a half since I last visited the wonderful world of City of Heroes. During that time I was on a pie strike so I did not get to keep up that much.

So imagine my surprise when I come back and see a massive amount of changes for my Fire/SS tank.

- Inherent fitness pools. This was one of the items we never thought would happen yet here it is. This alone allows me some flexibility in my build in that I can now fit Fireball.

- Fiery Embrace. What did they do to my baby!?!?! I almost cried when I saw they changed it. Gave it a run and have since changed my mind. Extra fire damage on my SS attacks, some that are already slotted with procs..it makes me smile.

- Burn. Oh wonderful Burn!! I remember when I could stack it 6 times and practically melt AVs away. Then it was hit, and hit hard. Now it is just as I had dreamed it would be, rounding out a nice collection of AoE and PBAoE attacks.

Did I miss any changes? The ones I noticed so far have seemed very positive to me and inspired a respec so I could pick up Fireball and Burn.

I am going to cast my vote for "Echo of you"

The Echos really interested me in that arc. In the first mission something reached out and took memories from your mind and turned them into apportions that you faced in a memory of your future self. Later on you face the same creatures in the past, yet they have full knowledge of you and the previous encounter.

There is some serious power there, or at least vast time travel capabilities to create such a timeline out of your actions.

It also makes me wonder if the Echos are related to the Reflections from the Shadow Shard, meaning that the coming storm could have something to do with Uuralur

I am trying to dig up the material from a while back so forgive the lack of evidence at this point.

It was always my impression that the Midnight Squad, when they learned of Rularuus approach (Thanks to the Dream Doctor), created a pocket dimension as an exact replica of Paragon City and the surrounding area. They then populated this dimension with people from our world (or possible reflections of the people, it was never actually stated however the older people in the shard can remember the original Paragon City) and tricked Rularuu into devouring this dimension and becoming trapped.

Trapped in this prison Rularuu went mad. The Shadow Shard we see now is a mix of that dimension and the mad mind of Rularuu that had been shattered by the various aspects of him.

Freedom did convince me to pay for another month and try the game out again.


I still like pie....

Gone to the Americas for it's ability to stand the test of time, randomness, and mystery.

It was a bit of a shame when the OP followed up a few years back. Some saw it as a sign of the apocalypse.



Honorable mention to the original Pie thread, may it rest in the forum archives in the sky. I believe it dated to issue 2 or 3. Good times.....good times.

Shield has a Dance Dance Revolution power???


I have to get back on test and check that out.




:P

Or you could just get Acrobatics

Praetorian version of Paragon Protectors and the Revenant Hero Project?

Boundless Willpower, in the context used, is nothing more than a phrase for flavor. Unless he can beat Blue Steel in a staring contest I am doubtful that his willpower is going to be any factor outside of a plot device for why he can control the demons to begin with.

That being the case, Desdemona has the same "Boundless Willpower" to control demons.

I am a bit surprised that Shield did not rate better. Why was this?

There is something people seem to be forgetting. Desdemona can not only summon demons, but she can also control them. She was able to control a creature that nearly killed Statesman in a single shot. That is some power for you right there.

So, is her power strong enough that she could overcome the spells that bind the demons to Infernals armor and use them as a weapon in the battle? If nothing else it would nullify some of his power at the cost of her own.


Honestly I put my money on Desdemona. Trained by Ghost Widow in the Mu arts.


Now, in AE it would be a different story. Will have to see how her powers work in game to really tell.

I don't mean to derail the derailment but....




BBQ Pie?

Discuss...

Tanks do make good farmers, and a different style of farming to boot.

Personally I prefer Fire or Shield for a primary. Fire is an early blooming set that has all the tools you would ever need for Solo farming and great burst damage potential in Fiery Embrace. Shield also brings a good amount of offense as well as Shield Charge to leverage the damage bonus.

For offence you cannot go wrong with Fire. My pick in the past has been SS, just for the extra damage you can put out with Rage. SS goes very well with Shield, as well as Fire.

Lately I have grown to really like Electric for a secondary when paired with Shield. Double Tele-AoE, lots of multi-target attacks, and a good damage type.

Nobody can Solo pie.

A couple more


Arachnos flyer, Outside Spawn. The time limit is the key here.

Drop ship. Time limit merged with insane resists and HP along with deadly lasers. It takes too many slows to get a chance to deliver the damage.

The Rikti officers that beamed down, controlled by devs, were near impossible to kill. 50 heroes in KR all swinging away and doing no damage.

Great event...I was hoping the hints they dropped a while back were going to bring the mothership back in some way.
