Fleeting Whisper

The tubes have been clogged.

Well, more forms for kheldians entirely makes sense. The story behind the Nova and Dwarf forms is that they were previous hosts your Plasma Pal Who's Fun To Be With had inhabited. So truly, any form the devs can come up with would fit within the Kheldian storyline for alternate forms.

My save files are all the Mids' panda, but I could've sworn they were always like that, so maybe I did the same thing

Yeah, I can see how $10, a power selection, 2 slots, and 3 enhancements makes Ninja Run faster than Fly.

The last super-seekrit City Scoop post was in January, in a discussion about merging with the Titan Network (since the new forums hate the Scoop even more than the old ones did). The website that the Titan Network was building as a replacement for the Scoop (since at the time, the Scoop seemed to have vanished entirely) is not at Tony's satisfaction for public release (and since Tony is the project lead...).

Most likely course of events: Titan Network reveals a new website in the near future (sorry I can't really give you a proper timeline, I'm not really on that team), and some of the Scoop staff becomes columnists on the TN site. With lack of staff (due to part of the staff moving to TN) and lack of functionality on the forums, the official City Scoop will more than likely dry up.

I'm a bit sad to see it go, to be honest. But hopefully the TN site will get up and running, and the playerbase will enjoy the new format. (AFAIK, it won't be a weekly newsletter like the Scoop, but more like a collection of articles similar to Slashdot)

Super Speed caps at 92.5 mph. Teleport starts out at approx. 102.27 mph (subject to player skill) and has no speed cap.

Considering the timeline of events when we've been told about things, the Coming Storm seems more likely to either be Shiva (the origin of the Shivans/Hindu god of creation and destruction) or "The Battalion", which as far as we know would be the name of a group that basically requires an IOed build in order to fight them. (Note: the promise when IOs were released was that enemies would not be rebalanced to account for IOs, not that future enemies would not take IOs into account)

The Aspect of Rularuu in the CoP used Ruladak's model.

That's better than Dairy Queen. I mean, they only have Soft Serve Vanilla! The nerve of it!

Not to mention base decorations! I mean, you can't even look at them without a base to put them in!!

Add: This sentiment applies to Kheldians too, especially now that they're going to be unlocked at 20 instead of 50.

Overwriting sound files with your own is the equivalent to things like Vidiotmaps, Vanden's icon pack, QuickChat customization, etc. While technically a EULA breach, the devs and GMs have not previously acted on these things, despite widespread use. In fact, I believe Vidiotmaps has won an award.

The relevant information for providing yourself custom sounds can be found in the guide How to silence specific game sounds. Of course, in order to get a custom sound, you would use an audio file that has sound, rather than an audio file with no sound at all.

Note that customizing sound in this way will affect all characters in the game when you use your client, not just a single one of your characters. Other players will hear the normal sound, and you wouldn't be able to give different sounds to different characters.

My main problem with solo Tankers (and Defenders) is that their inherent doesn't really provide any benefit unless they have teammates. I'm not sure if mini-Fury is the best direction to go, but I do think Tankers should have an inherent that is useful while solo.

The only teams I've had more fun on than all-MM teams have been all-Storm teams

While some may consider their prestige count in the SG window is important, is there anyone in the game that thinks it's $10 worth of important?

IME, whether a MM is dull or not is based entirely on the secondary and/or whether you pick up the attacks from the primary. If you're a Force Field MM that's just waiting for the henchmen to finish off the targets, it's extremely dull (I've deleted 3 /FF MMs for this reason). If you've got an active secondary (like Storm Summoning or Dark Miasma), and/or you pick up the attacks from the primary to entertain yourself with, it's much better.

We know it won't be a simple button. IIRC, we know it will be one or more story arcs to switch. And we know it won't force AT/powerset changes. Hell, the only ATs that you could really switch without serious hiccups would be Brutes/Tankers/Scrappers/Stalkers, and Corruptors/Defenders.

Funding, brand name, recognizable producer, and 'the snowball effect'.

I remember reading a conversation between various game developers which took place in 2006 or 2007. The subject of the conversation was how to deal with MMO players with differing amount of time available. If Jim and Joe are best buddies, but Joe has twice as much time to play than Jim, they'll eventually be unable to play together in the game, because of power differences. Sidekicking was the perfect fix for the issue (and wasn't even mentioned in the discussion I read), and there have been a number of MMOs implementing similar features in recent years.

Hey, my starter pokemon joins me in battle against the Elite 4!

But yes, I definitely enjoy game where your starting abilities remain useful even at the end of the game. CoH isn't the only one, but such systems do tend to be uncommon.

EMP Arrow (And EM Pulse from Radiation Emission) does apply -regen. In fact, it's enough -regen to shut down nearly any target (higher-than-you AVs and GMs may not, depending on the situation, and I've have to actually think to give a definitive answer on that). Unfortunately, neither EMP is possible to make perma, and they also shut down your own recovery unless you've got an Empath buffing you with a slotted Adrenaline Boost.

WRT the OP:
/Regen often relies more on healing powers than on actual regen. -recharge is extremely effective.
