Great set.
I would give the bears this power.
Primal Roar - Ranged (Cone), Foe Fear, -Recharge, -SPD
Description: This Bloodcurdling Roar evokes uncontrollable fear even in the most hardened of enemies, causing most foes to tremble helplessly in terror. The panic stricken foes that flee will find their movement and attack rates slowed.
** Since bears aren’t cats, perhaps rename the level 12 power to Summon Ursus (Ursus is the Genus for bears (Kodiak, Polar, Grizzly etc…)). -

It's a Parity thing. not a power thing.
Its definitely a Parity thing.
Currently both Heroes & Villains have access to APPs (without needing to switch sides).
Only Villains have access to PPPs without having to switch sides.
Making Hero PPPs available brings balance to both sides (imho it should have been done at the same time the APPs were opened up to Villains).
If the pools are different enough you will still have people switching sides for concept reasons.
Also Having Co-Op Patron Pools available to both sides is awesomesauce.
Kirsten, you hit a Homerun with this idea, Congrats. -

The Patron Arcs grant a badge unique to the Patron in question. in Fact said badges were tied to the pools themselves. That's why initially it was impossible to Respec Patron Pools.
So Hero patron Arcs shouldn't get some spiffy unique title they should get a badge same as the Villain Arcs do.
That was exactly what I was going to say.
Also if players were stuck with a title over their heads that they could never get rid of, I can only imagine the forum meltdown that would result as certain forum posters would be starting up multiple complaint threads about it.
As DMystic wrote its better to just award a badge at the end of the arc & leave it to the player to decide whether or not to use it as a title. -
What if the proof is a fabrication designed to get you to trust him.
The possibility exists that the time traveler has an ulterior motive & is lying to you.
I also find it strange that the only viable option is for you to be killed; wouldnt stranding you in another era be just as effective?

There are times when I log on that Ive missed the GM notifications & would like a base item that displays what the ongoing server events are & the zone/instance.
Example:
Event/Zone/Timestamp
Jurassik has spawned *Creys Folly *08:30pm
Zombie Invasion *Talos Island 3 *08:31pm
Rikti Mothership shields are down *RWZ 2 *08:37pm
Server Event Status base item (600 Paragon Points) -
It was too much for a family member who watched it with me (I accidentally failed to let her know just how scary it would be).
Partway thru she turned to me & said, Thanks a lot. Now Im going to have nightmares for the rest of the night.
As for myself Ive grown up on a steady diet of horror movies, I found it to be creepy, but not to the point where it would cause nightmares.
I will definitely be watching for the rest of the season. -
Show debuts at 10 PM on FX.
The 5 minute preview definitely gives off a Stephen King Shining vibe.

The shadow shard bases that appear in certain one-off missions (the CoT Floating Castle & the Nemesis Steampunk Base), should be added to the actual zone.
I also thought the following was a great idea.
Quote:Originally Posted by Redlynne
NOW ... with the new Phasing Tech that Issue 21 has made possible ... it ought to be quite feasible to at long last implement something akin to a "campaign" scenario of expanding the Mole Points in the Shadow Shard to give players greater access to those zones, which can then be used as a foundational springboard for creating ALL KINDS OF Shadow Shard Story Arcs, which can better explain all kinds of things that have simply gone unexplained. What's the deal with the Reflections, for example? How did the Shard Native Human get here? How have they managed to survive the Madness and Rularuu?
Additional Mole Points would make a great staging area for further missions in the zone. -

There was a book that I read, can't remember the name of it though, that took people on hunting expeditions to around the time of major extinction events. The premise was that people could hunt whatever dinos they wanted, as they were going to be extinctified anyway. No real alteration to the timeline.
Do you mean "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury?
Or maybe "Dinosaur World"?

It was always enjoyable to read one of LoTs posts, whether it was filling us in on Dr. Who lore or how he felt about the latest Scifi Film or TV show, he was very passionate about those topics & his posts reflected how he felt about them.

They should remove the Talk to Security Chief missions from the regular contacts & repurpose the Security Chiefs to be like Meg Mason & Borea, giving an endless choice of one hunting mission & one indoor mission.
Players who enjoy doing hunting missions would still have the option of doing them & players who dont like them can avoid it.
Perhaps it could even be used as an alternative to the Newspaper/Police Radio missions & give you the option of choosing a new contact after completing a number of missions. -

For option 1, Im not asking for the Devs to create a higher level for groups that dont exist at that level.
What Im asking for is, of the groups that already exist at your level, for one of them to be randomly chosen & placed into that Safeguard/Mayhem.
And for option 2, it would be the normal level spawns for that Safeguard/Mayhem, you would be exemplaring down to that level.
I hope that clarifies what Im trying to say. -
I would love if the Detective offered a choice of Safeguards & then let us choose the level (Current level or Exemplar to the Safeguards normal level).
Example
Choose Safeguard:
Atlas
Kings Row
Skyway City
Steel Canyon
Independence Port
Talos Island
Brickstown
Founders' Falls
Peregrine Island
You have selected Skyway City Safeguard.
Do you want to:
1. Proceed at your current level (Level 50 facing Level 50 enemies)
2. Exemplar to Level 20 (facing Level 20 enemies) -

I've got plenty to do, plus an unraveled character in the works who I think will give Blade a helluva run for his money.
