It kindof makes me smile that we've had complaints that the Hero was a Lt, and the Hero was too difficult

That's because there seems to be wide spectrum of difficulty depending on who you draw for the defending hero. You either get lucky and roll some barely noticeable speedbump Lt. or you roll 'snake eyes' and get a rezzing, MoGing, EB Valkyrie who makes you launch your keyboard through the nearest pane of glass.

So...did she use her spear, or what?!

It's kind of a blur but I think she did, both for ranged and melee attacks. I remember thinking how cool that was until she landed a hit that took away half my life, then the novelty wore off.

I was a lvl 40 em/da brute soloing a mayhem mission. I was doing well until I met my elite boss hero, Valkyrie. It was a long fight with lots of insps and heals but I managed to beat her. I was standing there feeling pretty good about myself when she SELF REZZED!

Luckily she regained only about 1/4 of her health so I still had a chance, or so I thought. She then proceeded to fire off some MoG-like power that made her impossible to hit even with 2 or 3 yellow inspirations. I ran around like my [censored] was on fire dodging her attacks as best I could in that little vault but after a minute or so she finally wacked me.

In the picture you can see that she still has God mode turned on. It looks like a regen power to me but it didn't seem like the MoG I remember.

A real 'keyboard out the window' moment to say the least. I haven't had a boss fight that cheesy since Super Contra on the SNES. Overall the mission was excellent but I hope this will get looked at before I7 goes live.

Now where did I put my meds ...

That info is in the FAQ on the City of Villains site.

I don't think you're going to get an answer from him since he wrote that last February.

Stupid necroposters.

Well, the bend I'm planning to take is when my main hits 50 (I'm thinking issue 3 will be out by then), his story will continue as the Kheldian will possess him after an "accident".

You know I was thinking maybe this might be what the devs have planned as well. That the new character will be a possessed continuation of the old. Either way I'm going to do a similar thing.

Well only considering the facts that the devs are still fiddling with non-trivial parts of the game (i.e. Tanker knockback, Controller pets, taskforces), that the verification of the badge system must be painfully tedious, and that there are almost daily patches consisting off 10-15 fixes a piece I'd say it'll be out in a month.

But once stakeholder/customer/resource pressure are added to the mix I'd guess two weeks.

So Sept. 24th
