Will there be any new Story Arcs or TF's in Issue 3 that will explain in greater detail why the Reflections exist in the Shadow Shard?

That left Accolade. I couldn't give it an effect, or the playerbase would be upset that we are "charging money to give some Heroes an advantage over others", and rightly so.

Powerslide

This power forms a frictionless field of energy beneath the user that allows rapid transit while close to the ground.

A free travel power for those willing to spend the money is an advantage over the other players. I've been very disappointed about the DVD release because I feel that if I do not purchase this expensive "extra" then my characters will not have the same options for customization as everyone else.

No longer concerned with travel powers, many of my characters could free up two power pool slots that could be used on other abilities. Perhaps I don't understand the usefulness of this ability, but as written it seems to be a worthwhile travel power similar to super speed.

It is not my desire to pick a fight Statesman, but to point out that there do appear to be in game advantages to purchasing this upgrade. I will not be buying it, as I do not feel that it's appropriate for MMORPG companies to provide small but useful advantages solely to those that can afford it.

If player affluence determines the power of the avatar, this creates a real problem by allowing players to show off their superior financial status to others in game. One of the great aspects of City of Heros is that we're all superheros, working together to help protect the city. No matter who you are in your day to day life, when you log on you're a superhero just like the other players. I encourage all MMO developers to move away from this trend of charging players more for in game perks to show off the fact that they're willing to spend more money on the game.

Thanks for your time.

So....are you gonna complain about the Prestige Power Quick also because of the fact that you MUST have pre-ordered the game to get it and thus it forces people to have to buy the game?

It's a special little thing that doesn't give any major advantages in the game except the different animation. That's it. Nothing else.

Issue 3 is about 2 months away. The devs haven't said much for an obvious reason, they are still working on it. Mission difficulty slider WILL be in Update 3. Epic AT's will also be in Update 3. New zones and villians. Not to mention what sounds like a huge server event coming up with Update 3. There will be things that no one knows about that will be in Update 3.

Remember badges? No one knew they existed until Update 2 hit the test server. And look at how well its turned out as a really nice surprise.

Don't jump to conclusions troll. Just because not much has been said so far doesn't mean Update 3 won't have anything. Hell, the Arena might make Update 3. You never know.

The problem with off-line characters being present in the base is what happens if the base is raided (by players or possibly PvE, who knows)? Do you really want to come back on and find out your hero was defeated while you were away?

Servants on the other hand is an interesting idea.

*SG Ub3r Base is enjoying a relaxing weekend when X member hear's a knock on the door*
*X member looks through the peephole and sees only jello'y stuff*
*X member opens the door and Hamidon screws the entire base over in 2 seconds as Y member and Z member go "Why the hell did you fall for that trick?!"

Don't know if this has been asked but....When you say ALL City zones, do you mean ANY zone or just City zones only and not Hazard zones?

And the badges are special only to this event it seems. So I gotta collect those

Nice. Now that I have a general idea what it is, I'm not surprised it was pushed back considering how complex it sounds to put all together and hope there are no bugs.

Jurassik could never spawn in Eden because it is a TRIAL ZONE (even though its a Hazard Zone, it has a trial so it can't have a Monster spawn)

Sweet! Thanks for finally addressing the Jurassik spawn issue.

Then do this if you see problems on test after the +1 fix comes out. REPORT IT. You know, /bug. Let the devs know so you all can stop complaining and thinking this was done on purpose.

This was an unintenial side effect to getting ride of front loaded missions. Deal with it. Nothing is perfect. Random bugs occur.

Do me a favor and copy your character over to Training Room, and do the mission there. It should be fixed there right now.

Copied to test with another person's Hydra mission (Take samples from all Hydra men). Checked it over for badge, nothing. So he went off to do a respec on Test and I had a hunch you have to complete the mission. So I ran through the mission, completed it. No badge.

BUT, my friend who wasn't in mission the entire time, he said he got the message that he wasn't in mission long enough to get the badge/reward.

So..its still bugged basically.

How about a title...

Expansion 3: A Council of War

[/ QUOTE ]

Me and others got to thinking what that will possibly bring.

*Spoilers for anyone who don't want to know the end of the Praetorian Story Arc*









At end of the arc, Tyrant mentions that its only begun or whatever and he leaves. Could he and other praetorian enemies be on their way out of the Praetorian world and start a war on our world? Who knows....

ahhhh, You've made me and many other members very happy with that news. Missions spawning 2 skiffs was enough to make us want to crack our skulls

*awaits the skiffs*

The best climax/ending to it would be a couple Hammy's spawned in Atlas Park thanks to the Rularuu allowing the DE to reach it and they spend all day working on bring Hamidon beyond the boundaries of The Hive

*giggles like a schoolgirl*

Gaffer said "***"

Rularuu will own you all

Good job clearing up the confusion after seeing how maddening people get over a little badge.

They still have at least 1 more patch on test (Fathim the Kind TF fixes, Exampler'd down to do other TF's (and dev's wanting people to try to exploit it every way possible on TF and let them know, like I will do).

So at the very earliest a week-2 weeks depending on how much time is spent on the last patch before the devs put it out (hopefully not rushed)

Submitted a bug report on a memory leak I've been having (causing major performance issues in game). Hopefully the dev's get around to fixing it.
