    Edited by OP to remove the Prestige requirement

  2. I had a DS/Thermal during test and loved it. The visual effects of the shields on the demons plus the healing powers are great. Plus, Thermal as a secondary fits well with the whole DS concept.

  3. I am fairly new to Pinnacle, but have many alts on Justice (where I also have both an SG & VG).

    I am currently recruiting members for a new VG (Villains Involved in Lacivious Entertainment - a.k.a. V.I.L.E) and a new SG (Pinnacle's Titans) on the Pinnacle server.

    Both groups are fairly casual with the only requirement being:
    1. To play with honor & respect for all other players

    Other than that, as I said, both groups are designed to be fairly casual. Promotions will come with group loyalty. I would like to get both groups as active as possible so that we may do group activities.

    If you have any questions, or would like to join either group, please send me a PM here on the forums or look me up in-game (Global: @Johnny-Johnny)

  4. Welcome to Paragon City!!

    As a personal choice, once I hit level 6...I always go directly to Kings Row, get my Police Scanner from the Detective (who should appear in your contact list once you enter the zone), do 3 Missions from the Scanner and then do the Atlas Park Safeguard mish (also received from the Detective who gave you the scanner). From there, I usually head to the Hollows.

    Released, at some point. Yes folks, 100% of issues that have had pre-downloads have later been released.
    At that just means DOOOOOOOM!!!

    And there's still 10 more days until the middle of the month.

    Obviously, there's still bugs that need to be worked out in CB. Would you rather they push it into OB now with it needing more work, or let them work out any major bugs they may have first and then put it into OB? I, for one, say let them get it completely 'polished' and then either put it into OB or just release it. My point is, April has barely begun...so, chill out people! I17 will be ready when it is ready.

    'nuff said!

  8. I have a TA/DP Defender, and while he is only level 8, I like him so far.

    Slotting IO's

    I start slotting regular IO's (those without set bonuses) around level 22 if I have the recipes in my inventory....as far as set bonuses go, I agree with DrMike....I start them around level 27.

  11. I thought the more recent news was that DS is now included as part of I17 (assuming, of course, that you have pre-purchased GR).

    Quoting from the post regarding the GR pre-purchase....(linky HERE)....

    Quote:
    When you prepurchase Going Rogue you'll get early access to both the Dual Pistols and the Demon Summoning power sets. Dual Pistols will be available immediately upon prepurchase, and Demon Summoning will come shortly thereafter with the launch of Issue 17.
    ...it sounds as if both DS and DP are both actually part of GR meaning you have to purchase GR at some point to access them AND you get early access to them if you pre-purchase of GR.

    Regardless of all that, as has been previously stated, there have been no promises made regarding entrance into Closed Beta for DP, DS, or I17 (which now includes UM)....promises have only been made for the Closed Beta of GR (which will follow the tier structure for Friends & Family, Loyalty program, 60 month Vets, etc....etc...) Since the official Closed Beta for GR has not yet begun, nobody should make any assumptions as to their eligibility for any other Closed Betas.

    This has all been just my 2 Influence/Infamy...

    Here's another thread composed by Zandercross which goes into all this in much more detail. Go HERE to read it

  14. I'm surprised I was able to get into the Training Room, but it seems there is nothing 'new' to find there so they must not have implemented the I17 Closed Beta yet.

    I'm curious too. I wonder what 'about Jan. 28th' means....hopefully we'll hear today so we don;t have to wait until Monday.

    Both. Is there a difference?

    I really need to learn to look this kind of stuff up on Paragonwiki before I post.

    Praetorians

    Statesman and the rest of the signature heroes have Praetorian counterparts...what about Lord Recluse and the signature villains? Do they have Praetorian counterparts? If so, is there any info out there about them?
