I also sent of some emails to VALVe. I firmly believe the acquisition of the City of Heroes intellectual property by VALVe would in its and our community's best interest.

Vive la City of Heroes!

I apologize in advance for asking a question I know has already been answered somewhere (probably in a very obvious location)…
I was wondering what changes were made to the pet “dismiss” command that now causes them to simply drop dead where they stand (versus the unique animations they had not too long ago). Example with ninja’s I remember the dismiss command would cause smoke grenades to be thrown and the pet disappearing into the mist. Another example with thugs would have them disappearing while running off down the street.
Perhaps I am confusing “dismiss” with “release” (although both commands seem to have the same animation result)…?

From a mastermind perspective I was wondering if the choice between the 2 types of buff pets (48 month Veteran’s Reward) presented a dilemma (which of these two critters is a stronger choice for a mastermind).
Both of the bonuses seem helpful on paper…but how are they in action? With both of these pets having extremely low hit points and being targetable...do they even last long enough to make a difference in combat?).
I apologize if this has been debated before…

• Defense/Recovery (Shield) +Rec, +Def - Base Defense +3.00%, Recovery Rate +1.75% (+0.08 end/second)
OR
• Resist/Damage (Power) +Dmg, +Res(all) - Damage Bonus +3.00%, Resist (all) +5.00%

A quick question…if choosing between Dark or Storm as a secondary for Ninjas, what would you folks consider to be the stronger choice for PvE soloing (least downtime)? I am guessing the answer would be Dark…but I didn’t want to overlook possible advantages in the Storm set (such as Freezing Rain). Any insight into this is greatly appreciated!

Fantastic concept for character creation! Your post is very intriguing. What did your original (primary) build consist of before making the switch to a more team friendly mastermind?

I was curious about the “Community Information” kiosks located around Paragon City...is there a known issue that prohibits people from seeing daily or monthly totals regarding Victors, Healers, etc on them?

Thanks for the info !

A question for you folks:
In game I have seen some players that have a black/white name color (above their character’s head)… while others have the default blue color. How do you change the color that your character’s name is displayed as?
