The vibe I got from the comics is that most (if not all) of the Vindicators are quite content with their team as it as, and anyone moving from the Vindies to the Phalanx would probably NOT be by her/his choice.
    Desdemona seems to be getting more involved with the major signature characters now - she features on the new Trial in I21, and she's used as the example of a pet summoner in the revamped costume creator.

    Rocket Boards?

    There was a leaked video of the hover board in action a few days ago - it looked good.

    Which has massive complications.
    They don't need a new skeleton - the major hold up with adding fingers is the need to redo all the animations

    I would mind

    And we DO have some foreshadowing of this.

    Statesman is pretty much the ONLY signature hero not in the huge 'Portal Guarding Group' in the Tin Mage MK II TF's final mission. Everyone else is there, EVERYONE.

    No Statesman.
    That's because he's in the cut cutscene - he goes to confront Tyrant, but is defeated - but it was dropped before the TF went live.

    Well, you could post some posed shots of the new models in somewhere like Perez Park - it's not really going to be a spoiler now

    Not that they'd be that evil...
    Don't forget that the story is going to be told from the both sides - each month there will be a hero arc and a villain arc, each one telling the same story - so it's quite possible that the final part will see red side players invovled in killing the one who dies.

    But how could you do that if he dies?

    It is

    "Crime against humanity" would be a better description of the CoT losing their robes.

    Actually, they did
  11. Recluse's Victory isn't getting the Atlas upgrade, but other mission maps that use Atlas Park will get it.

    Then you've not heard the SDCC panel

    The death will come at the end of the 7 months.
  14. They confirmed in the UStream braodcast today that the voiceovers are only for the tutorial and for things like the pop help system - nothing is planned for normal mission content.
  15. I think they'll kill off Manticore, so Numitron can replace Psycore as the CoH super-couple

    Slashtastic
  18. I'm expecting some ambush action in the revamped blue and red lower level content in I21

    Not in I21 - their shoulder pads will blot out the sun.

    No - it'll still be an empty ghost town
  21. There's a full version of the new Atlas music looped at the start of the UStream broadcast today: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/16273921
  22. Just an update from the UStream today - the echo zone in Ouroboros will not have any of the old Galaxy City mission content in it - the contacts will all be removed form it.
  23. I like the way the new sewer Trial is going to be a kind of tutorial for the whole CoH Trial system - it gets players used to the mechanics of them, ready for the Incarnate ones.

    Here's the "cover" for the first arc:







    And here's a screenshot from one of the maps, which looks like it's in the Hollows, going by the background:






    The pillar has spikes/thorns at the bases, so the CoT could be invovled.
