Nictus healing itself. Having a team of melee and pet users made this excessively difficult despite relative ease in the rest of the missions.

NEW ROMAN-STYLE ZONE MAPS (LEVELS 35 - 50)
The Midnighters hold many secrets within their walls, including a highly coveted Ouroboros crystal, enabling them to travel to the far reaches of time. There is a familiar threat in an ancient land and the Midnighters need the help of both Heroes and Villains to stop it. Players step foot upon the ancient land of the Roman Cimeroran Peninsula, where they battle deadly creatures, defend an ancient city and ultimately come face to face with the enemy of time itself. Throughout this journey players uncover the mysteries of power and the origins that guide them today.

I posted this in the technical issues forum, though it fits here, as well...

Apparently, after less than a week being live, there is no need for the I12 bug or feedback forums... One of the topics heavily discussed was the new TF and, specifically, its difficulty in the final mission. Some say the "healing Nictus" doesn't do much, while others say it does massive heals. I've been on both sides in my experiences. I ran the TF just a bit ago and, although I was not able to make a movie of our troubles, I was able to take a screenshot of the heals that some experience...

Because they were on the roof, there were obviously no surgeons hiding around. Eventually, we were able to separate Romulus from his nictus buffers by having the two tankers split pull and we took them out one by one in the order of summoner, Romulus, aoer, and healer. Oddly, Romulus stayed dead when we killed him, which we did not expect. I believe that having him rezkill his nictus might have been beneficial to us as our entire 8 man team could not take down just the healer because of its massive heals which appear similar to that seen in the screenshot. We gave up on him directly, for awhile, and made sure everything was clear around him and nearly the entire map was cleared before we got tired and gave it another go.

Eventually, we were able to take out the healing nictus by having our two heaviest hitters melee it while everyone else stayed out of its excessively large twilight grasp range. Despite the help of an MM's bots that had enough range, the controller using ranged attacks, and the tanks standing back using ranged epic power attacks, the healing nictus alone took us a good 15 minutes to take down. The entire event took us 3:37 and we had gotten to the last mission after about an hour and a half.

I used the wrong link. It's been rectified.

Here is a shot of my villain I've been working on. It's not quite what I was after, since I wanted more of a comic-book feel rather than saturday morning cartoon, but I think it looks nice... especially considering my noobishnesh in photoshop.

Edit: fixed link

A long while back, I made a custom Lion-O figure inspired by the [relatively] new comics.

vs. Original...

Comic cover that inspired this...

I'm waiting for I12. I believe that the first roman helmet of the 4 shown (in black) will work as well as I can hope.

Here is what I have, right now.

And... Optimus isn't too hard.

I know someone that's infatuated with Optimus Prime. His char isn't actually based off of Transformers, but it's an alternate costume. Sort of like his character is dressing up as Optimus for a comic-con.

I'm secretly making a nemesis character to fight against him; obviously, Megatron's costume is fitting. Unfortunately, although I'm able to create a fairly good Optimus, I'm stumped on coming up with a good Meggie.

I'd like to see what others can come up with.

I guess my definition of "huge" is different from yours; especially since there is shoulder armor/add-ons that are larger than that shown. The midievil shoulder armor, for example, is larger than that on the female bane spider player character. When someone mentions huge shoulder armor, I think of the huge pauldrons from WoW.

So, wait...in the picture with the gladiator armors, is that Statesman in there?

[/ QUOTE ]

That does look like the Statesman cape and Helmet. Do we get access to those???

[/ QUOTE ]

That helmet is SIMILAR to states helm but it isn't. look very closely at both of them. Not the same just very similar and I expect to see a few new states look a likes using that helm once the feature goes live.

When Jay said "No to the above" he meant the whole statement "Is that statesman helmet and cape? do we get access to them?"

Hence "No they aren't and no we won't get access to the states cape and face plate."

I may be wrong but personally I believe that the pics are accurate and we get all the good stuff we see there. Again look close to both states and the roman helm. Not the same just similar.

So let me get this straight.

A ) I'm a Tank, so I can't get the super-huge shoulders that the female Arachnos chick in that one pic has. That SUCKS. I've waited forever for giant shoulder pauldrons and now I can't get them because it's an archetype exclusive (even Kheldians didn't get an archetype exclusive costume).

B ) We don't get the Cloth Mantle (made famous by Statesman).

Two of my biggest wants dangled in front of me with sadistic availability options in place for one and false advertisement for the other... wait, isn't that illegal?

I see you have lost your sexiness, Jay. And your Silent Bob, to boot!

What huge shoulders are you talking about? I'm not seeing any at all.

In other news: what is Teddy Roosevelt doing in the promo picture? I'm very confused.
