Each AT get's it's own. While the general purpose can be cross-matched (Blaster/Stalker, Corrupter/Defender, etc) each AT is still unique in what "holes" it has - which is what APP/PPPs are to fill.

Yeah, and I don't think any were an exact match for anything live - also, we got the standard "This isn't even beta-firm yet" bit from Castle.

They've mentioned rewards for those who stay "pure".
PC_Guy - you've been around long enough to understand how marketing is on letting the news out of the bag. And yeah, there were some of the already answered, but there was some good chunks that were new and/or more clearly stated.

I didn't expect them to answer as many questions as they did. Yeah, it kinda sucked that some of the questions people apparently submitted were simple stuff that could of easily been gleaned from the forums, but they did answer some good questions as well. Such as about the slots - not the answer I was hoping for (can we get a few more slots than that?) but it's nice knowing the answer. Nice bit about knowing that spears would be a weapon for a staff powerset. It was good getting the main concern with the hero respec - wave timers - back in their minds.

Yes, they had to market-speak more than we (or they) would of liked. Yes, some of the questions were... questionable. But overall, we did get some nice new info.

So it wasn't worthless/useless.

Bad example.

That vet reward was ALWAYS listed as a preview of wings. And those two specific wing types (Angel and Demon) cannot be obtained otherwise. Yes, demon has some close call with the burning and dragon wings, but those are also substantially different. And we also have the cherubic and bat wings, but those are chibi, not full size, "Angel" and "Demonic" wings.

Do you count door mats with... strategically positioned cameras in the same category as regular doormats or separate?

O.O

You know he has a small, portable television in his power armor.

Hidden from Dr. Aeon, of course.

Average, based on Dutch Brother's and Starbucks pricing.

To be fair, since merits were a solution to the fact that a) some TFs were to quickly finished for the random recipe reward, and b) some TFs were too long for a single random recipe reward, when merits were put into place they already had a good idea/ream of data to set the merit rewards by. I don't think Kaite ever had a reward over 9 merits, in fact think it started sub-5, didn't it?

Purples are part of Pool A drops. Any time you get a Pool A drop, there is a chance of it being a Purple (or Super Rare) drop. Can't tell you the exact percentage, however.

If an NPC can drop a level 50 common/non-set IO upon defeat, it can drop a Purple. So, mobs 47+ can drop Purples.

Pool A are dropped from NPC defeats, on a chance. Thus, the more mobs you defeat, the more chances at a Pool A, which in turn mean more chances at a Purple.

Actual level does not change any drop chances. So the decision to play at -1 (and mow down mobs a bit faster) and +0 is based on, usually, the fact that most people would rather get that extra .1% on their enhancement values, and pay way more for level 50 recipes in a set than 49s.

So if going for purples only, I'd say -1. Money, +0.

As to bosses - as posted above, bosses have a nearly 8% chance to drop a Pool A of any kind, while Lts are about 5%, and minions lower. But bosses have more HP, thus if you take twice as long defeating a boss compared to a LT, most would recommend you go "No bosses".

And pre-i5, the info about most AoE holds is out of date as well, due to the x2 recharge, x.5 duration nerf.

Either you let the 60 month keep this ability, AND add to it, or you remove it (but grandfather the existing 60 month vets in). So either you kinda overpower a vet reward as well as have people complain that 60+month are getting something for free that they are being "forced" to pay for, or people complain about how the "original" 60+ month vets get a $10 pack for free, while even the vets after them get to keep it.

Totally agree

That isn't rechoosing the vet power though. It's just choosing out of a different pool (with similar choices). Those ones also differ, in that the ranged attacks have no bonus damage due to origin.

Actually, the combining of the End mod types was ED - so i6.

When CoV was in beta, we got the first look at the precentages pop-up - with this, it was figured out that the End Recovery and End Drain enhancements were merely modifying the same value when put in a power that had both.

What kind of tanks?

Willpower has a lower taunt in their aura.

Look in the community digests for posts about the vet rewards. By Avatea, if I recall correctly.

I use this frequently to let me see around corners, or to survey large battles on melee characters without having the system keep snapping my view back on every attack.

Okay - quick clarification :

NCSoft does both "Game Cards" and "Time Cards"

For City of Heroes, they are $20 and some value of $15 or $30 (15x # of months) respectivly.

A game card can be used as a time card, OR to create a new account. Between that fact and the bonus 30-day jetpack they bestow is why they cost $20. They tend to be simple plastic cards hanging on hooks.

Time cards can only add subscription time, and cannot be used to make any accounts. Usually in a slim DVD case.
