    I'm expecting news on the other Booster mentioned, and hoping for an amendment to the contents of the Party Pack (IE, adding more or costing less), as well as some news on Issue 19 (In which I believe the gates of Praetoria will open, just a hunch from a new NPC designed by the EU being added on in i19 as a competition.)

    Of course, we can always hope for a nice look to the future.
    I bolded, underlined and italicized what I'm looking for.
    I can understand that eventually they need to stop giving cool powers in packs because we become too strong. But on the other hand no power gives me less incentive to buy. I don't care about the mutant costume stuff. I bought that pack for Pain Tolerance and/or the 30% rechg buff. everything else is gravy.

    Other things I'd like to hear are some more info on what Posi has planned content wise for I19 endgame. I'm really hoping for 1 or more task forces.

    Might I add that the Tanker was going to the Isles to "show them how it's done".
    Ick Wailers, another of the lovely treasures Villains get to enjoy...

    I've never seen that owls one.

    I prefer Narwhals though.

    20ish Questions

    So I've been gone since the beginning of 05'. For various reasons I had to leave and haven't been able to return until just recently. And boy how things have changed. And is the basis of my inquiry, that & I've just forgotten a few things. I'll try and word everything best I can to make the most sense. I've just been writing things down as something comes up.

    Enhancements: Back when, Hami-O's were #1, Are Invention Enhancements #1 Now
    Overall Hamios still provide better bonuses but since there are lovely set bonuses which people build for yes, IOs are better.
    Quote:

    Set Bonus: I think I just figured this one out actually. Are these from having a hole same group of those Invention Enhancements? And are they always a set of 6?
    Correct, a set bonus is for putting X of Y into a single power. Some sets have only 3 pieces others have up to 6.
    Quote:

    Shields: Do you get more choices for defeats like you do with swords?
    I think you're asking if there are customizable choices unlockable for shields, yes there are.
    Quote:
    Side Kick/Exemplar: Does this really work at all like it used to? As in with this Auto thing. Mostly wondering if it is still possible to get the SK/Exemplar badges?
    Yes you can still get those badges
    Quote:

    Enhancements: With a lvl 50 enhancement slotted and your doing a lvl 30ish missions (and your lvl is lowered down to that) is there any benefit to your powers whatsoever.
    Yes there is, while your enhancemnets will be weakened they still take effect
    Quote:

    For CoP: People often mention to bring , Shivans, Nukes, Heavies, etc. What are these and where do they come from. I'm assuming that they are something that you can summon. I haven't been able to have much luck finding anything on the wiki for them I'm probably just not looking them up right.
    Shivans are from Bloody Bay, Nukes from Warburg, Heavies are from the RWZ

    Quote:
    ???????: Is there any way to know certain stats like how fast your movement is.
    Click the powers tab on your powers tray on the top left it should say 'combat attributes' click it. this will bring up the massive window with everything about your character. you can monitor up to 10 of these at once without this window just right click and select monitor XXX where XXX is what you want monitored.

    Not really 20ish but there will likely be more to follow.

    Thank you very much in advance for any help!
    No problem
    Paragon Wiki can answer most if not all questions you have regarding how or what. As to comparisons you're better off asking players.
  8. I'm afraid I only store 50's so I can't help.

    I'm expecting at least 1 TF, new harder enemies, and at least 3 of the known 10 Incarnate slots before Christmas.
  10. I've got a 50 WS but I can't say I feel comfortable answering more than Q2 and Q5
    A2) Yes, I generally slot Black dwarf for resistance.
    A5) Yes, new binds totally overwrite what was there before. I suggest looking at plasma's guide it contains binds to easily switch between forms.

    Whatever term marketing cooked up for it, it was also a stand-alone game.
    *throws in his hat*
    That was me. Years ago I received a best buy gift card and had no idea what to spend it on so I surfed around their site and found some game called City of Villains. It sounded kinda fun so I bought it.

    I can totally see where people like PP are coming from and honestly if I wasn't enjoying the basic ability to play with anyone at all do to being vigilante/rogue I'd feel the same. Just being able to team with all archetypes has made the game more enjoyable to me.

    I really want Incarnate content but, I really want it done right. I'm willing to wait for I19 if I have to if that will mean there is A) a way to make my 50s better and B) something to do with my new super tweaked toons.

    Not true. My fire/rad proudly wears that one just because she can. Sure I'll never be able to change it but so what?

In fact it's typical for me to die in about 2 hits from a boss on the hardest difficulties. I mean, maybe I could do Council for twenty seconds if they didn't mezz me. But Longbow? Carnies? Malta? Knives of Artemis? It just wouldn't happen without massive IOing, and even then probably still wouldn't happen. Soloing +4 Carnies on an Ice/Thermal Controller? Yeah... no.
    Other than /elec elec/ I don't know anyone foolish enough to dive into +4 carnies.

    Something to read re: earbuds.
    Hahaha that's funny. Skullcandy is worthless eh?

    I'm partial to the official iPod earbuds. Maybe because I've had bad experiences with others and I can get these online for $10 New in box.

    So Umbral, how would you go about doing that? Give them massive ranged defense?

    Elec is a resistance based set as well so the Defense is equal; Zero.
  21. Fire is ridiculously squishy. a Spines/Fire will want to adhere to the plan of, 'Kill them as fast as I can before they kill me.'
    I suspect you'll want Hasten earlier in the build.

    Just like watching the fools run into longbow for the first time in a tips mission. Hahahaha
