None of that, however, explains why he's wearing their damn uniform as soon as he's out of the box.

And the emblem on his chest is just plain ugly.

Axis America did use the Fifth Column logo, though. As has been said already, it was prominently displayed all over the original Axis America map.

All we know about Axis America is it was part of 'a world where America had lost to Nazi Germany'. Note that nothing is said about the rest of the world, just America. The Fifth Column were specifically dedicated to operating within America, which is why they're called the Fifth Column. The term means 'a group of people who clandestinely undermine a larger group, such as a nation, from within, to the aid of an external enemy.'

So it makes sense that an alternate America that fell to Nazi Germany would have fallen specifically because of the Fifth Column, who would then have no further need to remain underground. That's why there is no Fifth Column in Axis America, but their symbol is still revered.

The gas dissipated.

It's silly to wear gas masks all the time if there's no reason to.

They're labeled "Axis America" and wearing the AA uniforms.

[/ QUOTE ]

OK, now explain why the boss has a Council logo on his hat.

Are they original Axis America (with Fifth Column masks) or what the AE calls Axis America, which are actually Council Empire with different names?

To hell with pathing, just make everything destructible like a Mayhem mish.

That's exactly what they were doing at one stage.

EDIT: By the way, in the meeting where this feature was proposed I specifically mentioned that "Perfect Pain is going to love this change." Glad to see, at least on first glance, I was right!

Fully. Personal. Dev. Services.

ohhhh yeahhhh.

[ QUOTE ]
It's hard to get excited over an issue that contains no new content.

[/ QUOTE ]

'Other features to be announced.'

I remember plenty of other Issues where people have said 'there has to be more than this', but this is the first time I've seen them actually SAY so.

So, we know for a fact there's more to I16 than two eagerly anticipated player-demanded features and a whole heap of power proliferation.

ohh today is going to be good...

Niviene is being ominous on Twitter.

Whoops, you posted while I was still writing mine.

[ QUOTE ]
In an interview, question was asked about possible new powersets. DP and DS were mentioned. Little further down, question was asked about possible sets *in I16*. Response was 'didn't I just mention DP and DS.'

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, so you did mean the Posi interview on the EU training room that happened on the Anniversary party.

Here's the first of the two quotes, for the record:

04-28-2009 18:33:30 [Local] Sicari: Can we expect to see mor epower proliferation in new issues to come?
04-28-2009 18:33:34 [Local] Positron: Demon Summoning? Dual Pistols?

However, I can't find any record of the context for

[Local] Positron: DIdn't I hint at two new powersets above?

I think if that had been in response to a question about I16, lots more people would have picked up on it. ParagonWiki certainly hasn't associated DS and DP with Issue 16 at any stage. Most tellingly, it specified they weren't linked to any particular issue back on April 28th, within two weeks of Posi's interview on the EU Training Room.

[ QUOTE ]
It was also a dev who strongly implied (in the European fora) that DP/Demon summoning would be in I16, and NOT in a paid expansion.

They already have a screen shot revealing blue fire imps, so don't get your hopes up.

[/ QUOTE ]

That was for Issue 16, not Going Rogue. The blue fire imps aren't part of the Demon Summoning powerset.

[ QUOTE ]
you will not be allowed into PC tho, I feel that GR will have that limit, you can switch sides in Praetoria and Pretoria only if you made a toon prior to GR.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
City of Heroes Going Rogue will introduce a new alignment system that helps players explore the shades of gray that lie between good and evil. For the first time, hero characters can become villains and vice versa, enabling hero archetypes to cross over to the Rogue Isles™ and villain archetypes to experience Paragon City™.

[ QUOTE ]
See there's another hole in GR...What is the faction in Praetoria that fights Tyrant?

[/ QUOTE ]

The Carnival of Light is one of the ones we already know about.

I posted about this yesterday in the AE forums.

What's interesting is that the Devs seem to be hiring with an eye to doing exactly this.

All the details are here.

And I'm posting this in this forum for one very good reason...

'Our players -- and this is probably true with most MMOs, but moreso of City of Heroes -- because of the costume creator and the level of detail people get into it, you kind of get a different mindset of player. You get a very creator-centric mindset. Now we've added on to that with Mission Architect. Now they can become creators of their own stories and everybody wants to be good creators with each other. So it builds this positive feedback where you see all this stuff going. You know, if I ever need to hire a new mission writer, guess where I'm going to look? I'm going to look at the highest rated guys on there. Because that's your resume. You've done it and people love your stuff.' - Positron, Massively interview

(no, I'm not able to apply. I'm in the UK. ;P)

(also posted to the main MA forum, but I hope I'll be forgiven a double post, just this once )

I'm not really sure what "core game" even so much as stands for.

Running from spawn to spawn on a map and defeating them?

I can only think of a few ways to add to that...

1. New tilesets, as the OP suggested (a different backdrop is always nice)
2. Changes to the AI so that it's no longer 'dumb as a box of rocks' as someone once called it
3. More ways to interact with the environment while you're running from spawn to spawn and defeating them

[ QUOTE ]
One of the features they promoted in the AE was levelling from 1-50 just in AE conent. They definitely delivered on that. I really don't think any curbing of low levels using the AE is going to happen.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't be surprised to see a new meter for Architect XP introduced, which worked a lot like Patrol XP except it would give you full XP in Architect missions instead of half XP (half XP being the new base rate). That way, people could still level from 1 to 50 in the MA, but would have an incentive not to stay there 24/7.

[ QUOTE ]
In theory, this is all balanced by there being no "end of mission" reward in terms of XP/Influence/Prestige. In practice...not so much.

[/ QUOTE ]

No thingummy ever survives contact with the doodah, and all that.

So... any plans to change anything? Never hurts to ask.

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, but to keep it in perspective: this story is on some jerkwater news site and the Twixt article is trailing one about Sarah Palin for number of comments.

she teleports moose into drones, ive seen it.

also, HEY THERE NOLA.COM! Don't get any funny ideas about throwing beads, I'm British. :P

I am waiting for Jack T's interview on the subject.

I'm waiting to see if Gabe and Tycho touch it.
