I don't know about being "responsible" for Hamidon but the giant monster we know of today as Hamidon was once a human scientist and it's not stated anywhere that Cole soloed Hamidon in his current state so it's quite possible he fought the human version.

I had thought about but being that Mother Mayhem is still mind rideing in Calvin's wife's body it's possible that while Calvin Scott is working alongside Pretorian Earth's heroes he is not actully a hero as his reasons for being in the resistance seem to be selfish. He's trying to get his wife back and what do we even know about her? Maybe they're both evil and will try to overthrow Tyrant in the future.

That was my first reaction too till I found a video of the Devs at Comic Con confirming it. You can find the video on YouTube.

That's the second part, can't remember if it's in that exact video, they posted in 3 parts, but I faved this one because it shows a demo of the new Dual Pistols power set.

Never said he wouldn't still try to upgrade his armor. And again that was my speculation nothing offical has been said about anyone except for Ghost Widow and Lord Recluse

Not unless he got the title by some other means. On Primal Earth he's a former Pirate Captain.

It's supose to be a mirror universe so yes all things are opposite, otherwise it's not really a mirror universe is it? It's just a different universe. Reichman or however you spell that guys name is from a different universe. Yeah he's another evil Statesman but at the same time he isn't. I mean they don't even look alike and yet they're both Marcus Cole.

I think that was ment as a joke though way back before Matt "Positron" Miller took over as the lead developer, Jack "Statesman" Emmert or however you spell his name, had planed to do an underwater zone. Of course he allso planed an entire epic archetype around haveing wings and wings turned out to be just a costume piece when they finally came out rather than an archetype. Pluse the Incarnates were originally said to be Archetypes and have sence been downgraded to Origins. (which as an origin I really don't see much of a difference between Incarnate and Magic.)

That made me laugh. But um... how offten do you think I make sandwitches? Not that there isn't a million other reasons for my poor health issues.

You didn't understand a word I said did you?

"From" states the mesurement of time (mesurment of time being what you just described) not "between".

Between neither the start or end point are counted. Think of like a sandwitch... You got August(a slice of bread) September(a slice of cheese) October(more cheese) November(Bread). A sandwitch is just a bunch of ingrediants "between" 2 slices of bread but you don't count the bread as being "between" the bread.

1. I really need to stop posting stuff on the internet when I'm half asleep. (Which with the sleep dissorder is increasingly more rare.)

2. When correcting someone you really should make sure you're not allso wrong. September and October is only two months. There's three months FROM August TO November not three months BETWEEN August AND November.

Your reasoning skills are flawed and so are your comprehention skills.

The announcement implys that beta for the loyaly program participants starts on November 15, at the end of the loyalty program which allso implys that beta has allready started for people who are supose to be in before them.

I never said anything about a direct statement about when beta was starting only that an announcment as it's worded implys when beta is starting. There's nothing in there saying beta isn't starting at the end of that period either. Something as simple as "Beta date to be announced later" could of cleared up any missconceptions but sence they left it open to interpretation about when beta was that's how I read it.

Even still I don't think 1 month of playing should qualify as being "loyal", like I allready said anyone can get in so long as they paid the $15 for that 1 month of the game and don't ever have to play any time before or after.

As for the badge, I didn't say anything about it shouldn't have an end date, I said the end date should be exstended to when thoughs people can actully get into beta. It doesn't need to be rewarded before they can get in, it needs to be rewarded when they can get in.

Basically I don't see the point in even having the loyalty program if A: It's that easy to get a reward that big and B: The reward isn't even granted when you earn it and there's no warning saying you'd have to wait for your reward.

Look at it this way if I told you to pay me $15 at the end of the month and I'll take you to Disney Land wouldn't you exspect me to take you the same day you paid me for it? And what would you did if you gave me the $15 and then after takeing your money I told you that you had to wait for some unspecified date over 3 months later. Wouldn't you rather keep your $15 untill I'm actully going to take you to Disney Land?

And why should you pay so little for a trip to Disney Land anyway? That cost me more money than I'm makeing. Reverse rolls now you're asking me for money for Disney Land. Insted of $15 at the end of the month wouldn't you rather ask for $15 a month untill you can make a profit out of takeing me to Disney Land?

Sure they get their beta testers either way but if someone wanted to get into Beta early and they didn't qualify for anything else all they had to do was start an account on August 15 and only pay for that month (Till November 15) and then they're in. That basically includes all the 60+ month veterans as well and we don't even need the stupid badge. Heck by the time all the loyalty program participants are let in no one will be left for the Going Rouge Preorders except people who have never played the game before.

The way it is, and the way City of Villains was done, the order should really be Veterans, preorders, and then everyone else sence the way I see it the loyalty program people are everyone else. I don't see how there's anything special about just haveing an account for 1 month that should allow you into beta before Preorders.

To put this as simply as I can the loyalty program offers a reward for absolutly nothing. There's alot of rewards like that in the game but if you think about it the rewards for doing nothing are minor compaired to this one. This is a major reward for such a minor accomplishment.

What exactly about the time from August 15 to November 15 was any different from any other month? Why should that one month of people be rewarded more than any other month. Maybe if it was from November to December and a "Christmas" Reward that would be more understandable. But this is just some randomly chosen month and a "loyalty" reward where loyalty doesn't have anything to do with it.

Veteran rewards are given for loyalty and the 60+ month are in a seperate group so the loyalty program should be 3+ months or maybe someone who earned a new veteran badge durring that month not just for playing durring that month. There's nothing more loyal about that month than any other.

Nothing about it makes any bloody sence. Everything else is fine, just the "loyalty" program of people getting rewarded for no reason and/or not get rewarded when the program ended just seems completly pointless.

That's 5 brackets, the announcement I saw only showed 3.

o Tier One: City of Heroes Veterans with 60+ months of paid time.
o Tier Two: Loyalty Program players
o Tier Three: Players who Pre-Order Going Rogue (Preorder details to be announced at a later date)

The friends and family phaise doesn't even really count as part of the Beta because no one from the community is in that.

The theater I work for has simular events for viewing plays before we're offically open. There's a friends and family which is literally just staff members and whoever they happen to invite. Just as the name sugests everyone who isn't on the staff is a close personal friend or family member.

Then there's a preview night which is what Beta is, when people from the general public are let in early. For the theater that means our sponsors buy out the house and resell or give away the tickets. We never really know who's going to be at previews and the difference there is we can't resell or give away our metaphorical tickets once we have them.

Anyway...

As for the Hero Con attendees. I think they should be let in before 5 year vets. I wasn't at Hero Con but I know it cost alot of money to go there and conventions like that have to have exclusives like that to make it worth the cost of going to the convention in the first place.

The Vetarans are fine where they're at and I am in that group.

As for the loyalty program group, that should be changed. As it stands the loyalty program is this... All City of Heroes® and City of Villains® players who maintain an active account for the time period beginning August 15, 2009 and ending November 15, 2009 will receive a set of special rewards for their loyalty to Paragon City™ and The Rogue Isles™ which to me means that the Loyalty program group should of been let in on November 15, 2009, the day the program ended as it reads that's when they would be let in. The 60 month+ Veterans should of been let in August 15, 2009. Sence no one is in yet my reasoning is that Beta is late and these dates are no longer valid.

Let me put it this way. For the loyalty program you only had to remain active from August 15 to November 15, 2009. So what? You could cancill your account on November 16, 2009 and wait to get your invite and still be eligable despite not playing for however long that takes. And I don't see how that qualifys as a "loyalty" program if you only need to be loyal for 1 month. That date should be changed so your account needs to remain active from August 15th to whenever the heck Beta actully starts in order to get into Beta. Now that's what I call Loyalty, sticking with the game the entire time till Beta starts not just for 1 month and then quitting till beta starts.

I was in the closed Beta for City of Villains. I allready know how it works. My gripe is just that they seemed to have announced it was allready for testing 2 months ago.

When I got into City of Villains beta I recived the invite via e-mail without ever seeing any kind of announcement till AFTER I got my e-mail. Now I got the announcement first and 2 months later still hasn't started yet.

Pluse it's not really a matter of waiting for an e-mail anymore sence the old e-mail linked to this account has some major issues. Excite will randomly not send or recive e-mails not even to the spam folder so I've stopped useing it. In sort even if I am invited the e-mail may never come.

I preddy much just log on once every other week to see if demons are avalible.

Nope... This is Nocturne. http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Nocturne

The NPC model that actully appeared in the mission was Ice Mistral with Nocture's name. Here's Ice Mistral. http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Ice_Mistral

As you can see they look nothing alike and have entirely different power sets. I don't know how exactly the name got mixed up in the mission creator but it did.

If you have the mission boss set to random that means that a different Boss would come up every time you do the mission but sence you have the option to make a name for that random boss that means that while the Boss changes each time the name won't. In any case I strongly advise you to go in and take a close look at the settings for that boss so the name actully matches the NPC model.

So I got to the 3rd mission I think it is. I'm terrible at keeping track of that. :P Anyway... you have Ice Mistral in the mission but her name is Nocturne which is a completly different EB. I'm guessing you chose to change the NPC but neglected to change the name. Whenever you change a boss they will useually keep the name of the previous boss who occupied that space.

In any case, Ice Mistral kicked my ****. :P need to get a team togeather for this I think, I'm running solo at the moment.

In one of the missions there was "seek help from" and "defeat Destroyer" but the guy I was supose to defeat got killed by the Vangard before I found the ally.

Most of the missions were preddy good difficulty but just made it to the Ultrafreak and you said you designed this to be able to do solo? Ultrafreak's debuffs and being an EB make him nearly impossible to hit and even when I do hit he stuns me forever so his health comes back while I'm unable to attack. If you want this to be solo friendly, remove all his stun abilitys.

I'm not sure which set of character's you're makeing the sugestion for? If I had to guess what you were sugesting I would say either...

Black Fire/White Ice
Gold Angel/Red Devil

or

Black and white Ice

Gold and Red Fire

Well right off the bat haveing not done any missions yet I gotta say I love the contact's costume.

Mission 1: The EB in the mission seems like he'd be better suited for the Tsoo than the Freakshow. Allso he was placed close to the entrence.

Mission 2: Arachnos just randomly appeared and not sure why.

Mission 3: More Freaks and Arachnos and another guy that looks like he should be with Tsoo.

Mission 4: Holly hell, I know you said you designed this for teams but I wasn't exspecting that many EBs all in one place. We killed a couple with the help of the ally in the mission and once he died we just gave up. Tone that sucker down. No one will be able to finish that beast of a mission or if anyone does then they should go right from that to the Lord Recluse SF sence anyone who can do that should have no problem with the Surviving 8.

Mission 1: I thought the custom group was nicely diverse. Alot of Mechanics but not so many that it got boring killing them.

Mission 2: Another nice diversified group allthough they don't seem to fit their names. They appear to be sort of mutated cyborgs but they're refered to as "undead" so I would exspect zombies, demons, vampires, things of that nature. Not mutant cyborgs.

Mission 3: I found a random Bomb in the mission that seems to have no purpos being there. And the hords of PPD make it a little too easy. The EB at the end doesn't have a group alignment and simple says "All Custom Characters". Edit to my first comment, the bomb was there before it was needed. After defeating the EB we had to arm them.

Finnal thought. I'm not sure what the first mission had to do with the rest of the story arch. Thoughs enemys are never seen again in either of the other missions.
