You know what I was thinking.. what if the powers didn't matter because most (like 98%) of them gonna be the same? Maybe that's why it wouldn't matter if you picked X Patron or not?

Like for example, all of the Patrons grant the same powers except for their one single signature Patron attack they wanted to give you?

[/ QUOTE ]

I was thinking the same thing. Its possible that each of the Patron pools will offer the same exact powers. The only difference would be their appearance. So Mako's shield, ranged cone, etc. would be corallax themed, while Sirocco's would be Mu red lighting themed.

If that is the case, then only the Patron specific content will truely matter.

I am willing to wait for more details before passing judgement.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think they'd make all the powers the same, just with different animations, that's greatly limiting the choices players have.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why not?

It certainly would solve the "man-I-hate-this-Patron's-powers,-I-wanna-try-the-other-Patron-now" problem.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except for the fact that Posi already said we can't respec out of a patron due to the way they're coded into the content - not because they didn't want player to be able to do so.

[/ QUOTE ]

What? lol.

I don't think you got what I was trying to say.

What I meant was if most of the powers (except for a few Patron-related powers) are shared by all the Patrons, then there wouldn't be any need for respeccing.

[/ QUOTE ]

It would also be very "vanilla". If everything is the same, there really is no choice.

Any hero that has the one year anniversary badge and logs in during the next anniversary event will receive a special gladiator badge.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait, so there's only a reward if you were around last year? Or will newer characters at least get a badge similar to Celebrant for the 2nd anniversary?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, newer characters will get an Anniversary badge.

The gladiator is for having BOTH Anniversary badges.

[/ QUOTE ]

What?!! No hints at what it could be?!!!

[ QUOTE ]
Exclusive, top-secret, stolen from Positron's laptop while he was ordering a double-latte, screenshots of the new gladiators in action.

Or so I was told.

A Mini Statesman with a Nerf bat as a Melee weapon?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope. It's going to be Synapse. We'll get to use him to play dodgeball in the arena.

[ QUOTE ]
Anyone have a copy, or a link to one sitting around? I entirely forgot about this.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know if they'll put up a transcript or not. Here's the site though.

[ QUOTE ]
Hmmm...

Could this be Longbow Warden 1 making its appearance?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know...


...I'm thinking something bigger/better. Not jello though.

If you didn’t know, Positron was interviewed on Split Infinity Radio today. The only new info that came from the interview was the second anniversary reward. Any hero that has the one year anniversary badge and logs in during the next anniversary event will receive a special gladiator badge.

Posi seemed excited about what the gladiator will be. I wonder what it is.

Theories? Speculation? Hello?

Next time, ask about the invention system.

Fun? Nothing here is FUN!!!!

BwaHaHa...

Sounds like a normal Friday night to me.

Yep. After two years and no level 50's, I now have a reason to push myself to play only one character.

Adding to what Athyna said.

From the November PC Gamer:

Recluse's Victory is an alternate version of Atlas Park where villains and heroes battle it out. Depending on which side is winning, the zone will shift between depicting Atlas Park as heroically happy or ruined and burnt.

I would rather content and cool toys to be released as they are finished. That way we can be only slightly dissapointed an update at a time rather than just one huge dissapointment every few months.

[/ QUOTE ]

Kinda like the last two patches on the test server?

[/ QUOTE ]

Despite the fact you are coming off as a condescending [censored] I will be nice.

Yes.. exactly like that. I wish we could get changes as they are complete. The stuff in the issues is cool, but the coolness is overshadowed by the fact that some people have been waiting forever for a very specific change. New issues hold the promise of this. Yet it doesn't come..

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe you should ask Jack if the increased content that's recently been showing up between patches will be the norm from now on.

Origin specific powers, PDP upgrades, and changes to the way AV’s spawn were all things that some players have asked for in the past. His comment about releasing content when it’s ready may foreshadow more of these releases in the future.

Sorry about the whole "condescending [censored]" thing. I forgot we're all supposed to worship you.

AND now...we're changing the way Archvillains spawn. A ton of forum goers disliked adding so many AV's into missions a while back...so we've come up with a solution. If the team size and mission difficulty are ABOVE a certain level, an Archvillain spawns. Below that, players will face only an Elite Boss.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is the best change ever in CoH.

It's like X-mas. Part 2!!

I remember the good ole' days.

When we could all sit around and speculate about the future of the game and what cool things we would get to see and experience.

I miss those days.

GS: If we know our comic books (and we're not claiming we do), we're guessing that the battle between villains and heroes will go on for a while. But at some point, there may be a need to freshen up the conflict, possibly by banding heroes together with villains to face a new, more-powerful threat? In the future, can we expect to see an invasion of aliens or otherworldly creatures that forces heroes and villains to work together?




Jack: You read my mind.

So...I still got nothin'.

As long as your account info says " City of Villains PREORDER", you're good to go.
