My Defender Storm/Lightning. All the Lightning FXs will be like the white/yellowish of the Storm set (like thunderclap, etc...)

Issue 15 on training today, at least on the EU training room.

I would think it will go on US training room too

Bruce Harlick's diary is online at Ten Ton Hammer: I15 Diary

The store is absolutely free on the test servers. I have "bought" all the character slots, all 36 of them, and was not charged a single dime.

Same goes for rename and character transfers from test 1 to test 2, or vice versa.

Same thing here, happening in Cap au Diable black market. I just have time to sell one salvage before the game crashes. I was starting to worry about something on my 'puter, but it looks like it's something with the game, and/or Virtue server.

Tickets earned by votes are account wide. If you create a new character and you had votes on previous arcs, you get ticket earned badges if its high enough.

I found another bug, and I don't know if it's only me or more widepsread. I got the Writer badge (100 people played your arcs) that is needed for the Mission Engineer Accolade... but upon logging my other characters, the progress bars and badges awarded were different;

- Some characters have 4 badges, and the progress bar was showing 32 of 250 for the next badge.

- Some characters have 3 badges and the progress bar was showing 32 of 100 for the next badge (those dont have the Writer badge).

- And some characters have 2 badges only and the progress bar was showing 32 of 50 for the next badge (hence missing the Writer badge and the one before that).

Strange indeed.

Also, one of the clickies for the Midnight Squad History badge mentions the Rula-Shins, which is basically a secret cult that want to bring back Rularuu. I wouldn't be surprised if Darren Wade is a member of this group.

There's also details about the Dream Doctor, and it's pretty much implied that he's still "alive" somewhere in the shard. When, and if, they expand on the Shadow Shard, I'm pretty sure the Dream Doctor will be back.

When you read all the texts in the game, you can get some interesting clues.

Those are 2 excellent suggestions. I aboslutely add them.

While at it, why not add filters for levels too, so that if you play a lowbie you can easily find the arcs for level 1-14 and such.

Arc Name: Attack of the Mini Phalanx
Arc ID: 7233
Faction: All custom; The Toymaker and Mini Heroes (Minicore, Mini Brawler, Minimina, Mini Psyche, Mini Witch, and much more...)
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Photonstorm / Photonstorm
Difficulty Level: Made for Solo or Duo. Higher difficulty is much tougher, but Heroic/Villainous should make it easy for anyone. Mini Brawler and Mini Liberty are particularly tough at high settings, and of course the Mini Statesman too. Mini Statesman can fly away due to the 'running boss' bug if you can't immobilize him, or use -fly on him.
Synopsis: One map only. The Toymaker is challenging you to a duel.
Estimated Time to Play: Around 30 minutes.

Have fun!
