So basically, fighting bosses in the AE is like PvP.

Ouch.

I've love to see alternate Patron arcs that involve being a hero taking down your Patron and Lord Recluse to steal their powers.

Same for villains too.

Or maybe have NPCs have less than bottomless endurance.

The devs said (when power proliferation was first being talked about and around the time that they announced which sets) that heroes wouldn't get Poison and villains wouldn't get Empathy.

Traps, on the other hand, wasn't ever mentioned.

Irrelevant anyway. Whatever arguments they used to deny Villains Empathy are now out the window as soon as Going Rogue arrives and each side effectively gets access to every powerset in the game whether it "seems" good or evil.

There is no longer any reason to deny any particular AT a powerset based on "good vs evil" because every AT will be both a hero and a villain AT.

Claws/regen(Wolverine wannabes)

[/ QUOTE ]

What makes you think all claws/regens are Wolverine wannabes? My claws/regen happens to be a cyborg who's regeneration comes from nanomachines that can repair flesh and metal with equal ease.

[/ QUOTE ]
I wouldn't be surprised if a version of Wolverine has been that at one point.

My preference would be 2 End Mod IOs, 1 Performance Shifter proc, and 1 Performance Shifter: End Mod. Because even one little set bonus counts.

It's the local hobo in the alley.

Welcome back to Earf!

1. No. Malta Gunslingers used "Dual Pistols" long before she did. Also, there's been no Official Word that we'll be getting Dual Pistols.

2. The name and look are probably a tribute to Lady Jay. The Devs like to do that kind of thing, though sometimes, they go overboard, and it ends up being retarded (Re: Montague Castanella.)

[/ QUOTE ]
What's Montague a homage to?

[/ QUOTE ]

The last names of Juliet's family in Romeo and Juliet. I thought that Romeo's was Castanella, but I was mistaken. It's Capulet. But Shakespeare still sucks.

That's not a homage, it's just a name. Also, you speak the words of a fool.

I imagine the easy way will be to keep things as they are. There's no reason fallen heroes can't keep their Ancillary Pools, or atoning villains can't steal the techniques from the signature villains.

Perhaps GR will introduce Villain Ancillary Pools- and maybe Hero Patrons. Only time will tell.

They've added new tilesets (Cimerora) and changed the AI (Malta titans).

I wonder what they're doing down in the Rogue Isles.

I think I can hear the parties from here.

I think sports are kind of impossible in a city where a large number, if not all of the population have various superpowers.

[ QUOTE ]
Wait a minute, I just realized any enhancement to the core game will have to wait after GR, as GR is a boxed set. If they made improvements to the core game in it (ie how combat works) then those who didn't buy GR wouldn't be able to play anymore

...no, they'd just have to download a new patch like it's always been.

Pack II had all kinds of bugs when it was released, we assume the devs don't want to repeat that.

Check your edition, did you accidentally get Old Times Edition?

Architect Edition is the best one to have physically at the moment, it'll save you a lot of time and downloading if you want to reinstall the game.

After reading all that

Turns out Maiden Justice who gave birth to Miss Liberty is the Sister of LORD RECLUSE [...]

[/ QUOTE ]

Now how cool would it be to have Recluse as a brother? If someone ticked you off you could coolly say, "...ok, I'm letting my supervillain brother who has a personal army know about that" and everyone would be running for the hills, or better yet, bowing and scraping every time they saw you.

Awesome.

Giant spider invasions FTW:

On the other hand, family gatherings probably get... interesting. Considering her husband was Statesman.

Who else thought Kingdom Hearts? And I haven't even played the game...

Not all powersets are popular for technical reasons. AR/Dev because lots of people like guns and they fit thematically, Empathy for teh healzors.

Don't forget Claws/Regen.

Fiery Aura, as a consequence of standing out in the sunlight. I've actually seen this one done; he was an old, powerful vampire who was too tough to die from sunlight, and was just burning all the time.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's possibly the most badass vampire ever.

A Necromancy MM strikes me as the Warhammer kind of vampire, though those are usually very powerful in their own right.

Mercenaries does seem to be bland compared to other MM sets. If they'd just replace Serum with something actually USEFUL, I'd be happy.
