Oh, access to the shadow shard! It's a freaking cool area with a mix of drop types for 40+ characters. I don't care if it's a PvP area... just don't make it co-op. Heck, just make a hero one and a villain one. Identical except that we can't meet each other there. That's would be fine. I needs my shard

I was just checking out Monster Island earlier tonight. It got me wondering what other bits of Paragon City could also be available to villains.

The Shadow Shard is the most logical choice. For one thing, it is in serious need of an upgrade anyways. If it were to be made available to Villains, I think the best option would be a Co-op zone. The Villains could get their own base in the Shard, with some unique contacts and missions. The Shard is a big, treacherous, wilderness zone completely ruled by a powerful, alien entity. Heroes and Villains will need to team up not simply to fight back a common threat, but to survive.

What you're describing here with a Co-op zone sounds like what we already have with the Rikti War Zone. And if we make it PvP, well, it would probably turn into a "battle over territory" kind of deal and we already have that in Recluse's Victory.

However, I agree that the Shard is the most likely place to turn into a Red & Blue zone. I just don't know what to do with it. It would probably turn into some sort of battle for the Storm Palace.

Excited that the Hollows are getting a face lift.

Slightly disappointed that it isn't Boomtown. (I just like the place.)

Crossing fingers that Boomtown will be i13's make-over project. :-)

All characters will be able to enjoy the zone invasions, from Atlas Park to Grandville. The invading Rikti work like Giant Monsters, so you should be able to contribute no matter what your level.

The RWZ and Vanguard missions are for 35+.

My question, does anybody know how long the Toxic resistance stays on after using Healing Flames?

Don't know exactly how long. It doesn't last until Healing Flames recharges. Maybe 20 seconds.

If you look under your health/end/experience bars, an icon will appear for as long as you're protected.

Just want to add a "me too" to Dark_Quantum's request for a third power tray on screen.
