I vote Option 1 with this caveat as well. Also, please bring back the old "Metallic" tights, and keep the new ones under a new name such as "Mirrored" or "Polished."

My main villain runs around the Isles in a tank top. It'd be very nice for it to have the stitching detail that you mentioned earlier, David. And while we're on the subject, what are the odds of us getting a teeshirt that isn't glued directly to the torso?

Uhhh, if you're playing on Victory and Protector, then you can't enter at all. It's only for the European CoH players.

I believe your avatar image has something to say about that...

I take it you've never seen the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny?

Yes and no. They tend to work very well together, actually, depending on what exactly you want to enhance.

Set bonuses are for slotting more than one of an IO from one set in a single power. Not all sets have 6 different enhancements--the travel ones, for example, only have 3 each, and many different sets only have 4 or 5.

Additionally, only one of each enhancement from a set can be slotted into a single power, so you can not slot 6 Accuracy/Damage IOs over and over again.

There's at least an unlockable Roman one and an unlockable Vanguard one that are available at level 35+.

It works better now, in that everyone on a team is roped to the leader or mission holder. You can now gain experience while exemplared, and you maintain access to any powers you've earned at up to 5 levels above the level you are currently exemped to.

And yes, the team leader will still earn sidekicking badges.

Yes, there is still a benefit, but the further you exemplar down below your original enhancement level, the less effective that benefit is. I believe you start to lose effectiveness with any enhancements above level 30. You will also lose any set bonuses once you go three levels below the level of those enhancements until you return to your normal level.

FYI, I almost never get hit when exemplaring my Katana/SR Scrapper or Stalker, despite not having the set bonuses.

Shivans are temporary powers earned by doing the zone mission in the Bloody Bay PVP zone. For Heroes, the zone is accessible through Skyway City. For Villains, it's accessible through Cap au Diable. Basically, you have to use a temporary power to drill core samples from 6 meteors, then take them to one of the many processing stations in the zone, defeat the 8 automated guns around said station, click the computer inside, then return to the starting contact to earn the temporary power. Your reward is a set of 5 Elite Boss class pet that each last 5 minutes and have a lot of -Regen attacks, making them exceptional for fighting end-game opponents.

Nukes are available in the Warburg PVP zone. To earn them, go into the tunnels below the city and find a scientist held hostage by monsters. Once you have freed him/her, you will be asked to lead him/her back to their lab; doing so earns you a piece of a missile launch code. Once you have 3 pieces, you can choose one of the three launch computers in the underground tunnels (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) and take the final key to the surface to launch the missile. Doing so earns you one of the three nuke types as a single-use temporary power, with Bio and Chem being highly favored for raid encounters as they will either buff all players in your vicinity (Bio) or debuff every enemy (Chem). The straight nuke is a massive AoE damage power that can be handy, but is rarely requested on raids.

There are two types of Heavies. One is earnable by participating in the Rikti Mothership raid in the Rikti War Zone or some other means of collecting Vanguard Merits (level 35+ only) and trading in 250 for the temporary power at one of the reward stations in the base. The other is the Recluse's Victory Heavy, which is earnable through participating in the PVP zone event; this tends to require a lot of PVP action, so if that's not your cup of tea, then stick with the RWZ variety.

Above the tray that has all your power icons in it should be a tab called "Powers." Bring this up, and at the top of that window will be a link that says "Combat Attributes." This link will display a window that shows numerical values for all your passive attributes.

I feel the opposite, although a few years ago I would have agreed with you.

That does say currently. That either means that it's a known bug, there's a mechanic that they can't get working correctly (likely unlocking the EAT based on your moral choices rather than starting AT), or else there's a plan to create a different reward for Praetorians.

Honestly, Zombie, I've never known you to be such an alarmist. Until there's a developer statement regarding the topic, there's no reason to go about using your caps lock like that.

You are incorrect. It was changed to separate toggles (against the developers' wishes) because players found a bug that allowed you to install all three types of special ammo through creative use of the click power and Walk. The toggles ended up being the only way they could make each of the ammo types 100% mutually exclusive.

But hey, nice try.

I'd rather see a Gun Blade Assault powerset--a pistol in one hand and a katana in the other.

Then again, you can't really complain about the lack of natural secondary powers on an AT that has no natural primary powers...

Already discussed why I said that, but thanks for paying attention!
