Because the subject of anagrams will come up:

Cimerora = Rome Arc I

This suggests to me there's more Roman wackiness to come.

What do I win? More accurately who won the office pool, Posi?

In retrospect the devs dropped a hint in the Lazarus story arc. In the first mission with the fifth column one of the NPCs said "All I'm saying is that even Rome fell".

What it could be is Requiem is planning to resurrect the 5th column as a New Roman Empire.

I do hope it is a new zone and not just a series of instanced missions. Villains really need a place to street hunt 41+ arcane foes rather than the slim pickings of Grandville and RWZ.

Does the Chance to Stun: Taunt IO work now? I remember back when they were having issues with Taunt IO sets in Auras they disabled it on live.

I ask because I have a Fire Brute who wouldn't mind some extra soft control.

I don't mind paying for neat little costume bits.

I was looking in Paragon Wiki to see how the Valentine's day event worked in the past.

Here's the thing: I don't mind going on missions to unlock costume items. What I would like is the ability to have those costume items unlocked globally, because someday I might have a reason to make a character who'd use that costume bit.

As of right now I have 10 active alts, I really don't look forward to the idea of running the V-Day's mission arc 40+ times so everyone has everything. If I decide to make new alts down the road after the event I have to wait until the even starts up again.

If we're going down the whole "pay for extra costume items route" route, then I'd like to buy all of the event costume items globally not just per character.

The important thing here is options: Keep the old methods for people who don't want to shell out extra money. Use the new methods for people who don't want to wait or who don't have the time to grind.

BTW since people are already paying for the Wedding Pack, you might want to add a couple of things to it since "Value for the money" seems to be the biggest complaint right now.

I do like the new Costume pieces, I wish it was possible to get a "Veteran's Pack" and just replace all of the veteran rewards with Respec and Costume Tokens. Maybe the odd rename or sever transfer token.

Jay/Devs at large is there any way for the Jacket sleeves to be added to the sleeves for Trenchcoats? Or add the trenchcoat in with the regular jackets (once it's unlocked of course). I ask because it would really be nice to have the Deluxe Tuxedo sleeves with the regular trench coat.

There are issues with recoloring the inside tail of the Tuxedo as in it's not possible to do unless you force the color to copy across the whole toon.

I'm not going to gripe about the price or what you do or don't get with it. I do wish the stuff you do sell seperately not be as glitchy/buggy as this. I love CoH/V but sometimes it has a real "beta test" feel to it.

I had a similar build in mind although i'd like other people's advice on it.

Although I use Hurdle instead of Swift and reordered my power selection so I have Stamina at 20 and Teleport at 28. I'll take CJ at 30 more as a getto travel power although I could swap that out for stealth, but I was planning on putting a Stealth IO in either Sprint or possibly Teleport.

Other than the "Must haves" of the Primary, Secondary, Teleport, and Fitness pools I have two powers slots I can play with: One at 30 and One at 49. The one at 30 I was going to go with either Stealth or CJ. The one at 49 was either going to be Hasten, invisibility if I took stealth earlier (even that seems iffy)

Here's what I'm looking for out of my Nin/Nin Stalker:

1) The ability to "ghost" missions that have you run around big open maps with random mob points.

2) A certain amount of emphasis on PVP since that's where a Stalker can really shine. (Running missions in Bloody Bay allowed my stalker to level quickly)

3) I like the idea of Teleport since I could TP next to someone in PVP, Click AS, and TP out of perception before they can really react. The problem with Perception I see is that even maxed out they'll see you coming from 10 to 40 feet dependng on how well you've stacked stealth. Since TP is point-to-point that limits the time someone has to react to you.

4) As for Patrons: Ghost Widow taking the Blast, Hold, and Pet (Night Widow)

5) I've been using the Craftable Etheral Shift as a poor man's phase shift.

I did have a question on slotting defense, is every last percent really worth getting? Take Divine Avalanche, putting 3 SOs/30-35 IOs hits the ED cap of 56% percent, which give a total defence of 23.5%. However Dropping one SO/IO (or slotting a set with a Def and a Def/recharge only lowers it a couple of defense points while at the same time upping the recharge rate so I can use it more often.

I had a question about the LGTF and how it spawns invasions: Does the Party makeup determine where the invasion happens? (A team of heroes cause an invasion in Paragon, a team of vilains cause an invasion in the Isles.) If the party make up doesn't matter then an idea would be villains chain running LGTF to grief the heroes in Paragon City. Even if one or two attacks hit the isles they really wouldn't care anyways.

My suggestions about the Admin spam messages.

Is there anyway to filter them on dev-side? So only Heroes get Hero alerts and Villains get Villain alerts? Also having them come during an indoor mission is fairly pointless.

On that note... would it be possible to set up RV-type maps in the Vanguard lobbys? Showing where the alerts are.

My suggestions about lag: During an alert stop the random driving cars. At this point anything you can do to conserve computing power would be good. Also the randomly running civilians should head indoors and off the streets.

As for the RWZ it would be nice if the other factions would actually fight the Rikti as opposed to ganging up on you when you agro both.
