    Seeing as an Alignment Merit is the equivilant of more than 100 Reward Merits it doesn't really seem all that extraordinarily high.

    Numina's adds .167 end per second, but as I said, that, and possibly the Regenerative Tissue, should probably go in health, to get the bonus while exemping as low as possible (unless you don't exemp below level 39)and because they add more to regen than the first level 50 IO in Health will.

    If you do decide to slot it for recovery, and you only have one slot to do so with, a Performance Shifter is your best average recovery/sec compared to a single level 50 end mod IO.
    Miracle's +recovery is the better choice for recovery as it adds a constant .25 end per second.

    I picked that power up on my 50 MA/SR scrapper after his last respecs' 3 freebie power picks (to replace Fitness with inherent Fitness), and I havent investigated what to do with that single slotted power, yet.

    HE already has the Performance Shifter proc and 2 50 IOs in inherent stamina, so I really don't have end issues, I put a heal IO into it.
    I believe your best bet would be to put a regenerative tissue or Miracle unique (Numina's should be in Health) depending on the aspect you need or want.

    I don't know if Mids reflects this change or not.
    It's listed a 10% in Mids but it doesn't actually get factored into the finale recovery number Mids gives.

    Though I thought it was .18 end per second, not .19 end per second. Either way, it's a constant.
    .1855, Mids just rounds it to .19. I've also heard that +endurance effects can cause Performance Shifter to give more, but I don't know how true that is.

    edit .177, just realized I was looking at widows.

    According to mids, the First level 50 IO in Stamina adds .19 end per second while Performance shifter will add, on average, .20 end per second.

    When I got to see the first five slots, they didn't have Level Shifts besides the Alpha so that is why I'm operating under that assumption until I see otherwise.

    Perhaps I'm just misremembering then.

    Given that the leaked info gave all of the slots a level shift and that they've been saying we will effectively be level 60, this assumption seems odd.

    As far as I recall the 3rd and later morality missions get a Vigilante/Rogue 60 Reward Merits.

    Last raid he was on, my Tank netted 800+ Vanguard merits from two back-to-back runs. There were people in the zone saying they had netted 1000.
    Telling someone they are getting a low number of merits in one run by comparing it to what you get in two runs is rather silly.
    How many runs of the raid are people doing when they say 500-1,000 per raid? I remember being able to pull 250-500 merits per run and usually doing 2 raid runs per raid event, so I can easily see 1,000 merits per event but I'm a bit skeptical of 1,000 per run.

    BEFORE YOU GO, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT YOU IN OFFICIAL CONTENT!! Or, well, shortly after you go I guess. New official missions between now and the Christmas break aren't too likely. Anyway, prove that you really don't hate Villains by letting us slap you around in effigy! I mean... uh... crap. There's really no way to make this sound like a positive thing, even though I really mean it as such..
    While not technically official content, he did create an AE arc where we got to do that during Mission Architect testing.

    There's a thing that I found that indicates the work is done.

    As I recall, Interface added a debuff effect to most powers and the pets were Lore. And unless there was another leak, the info came from the fact that the crafting tables for the first 5 slots were accessible on test during the i18 closed beta.

If you are level 5, that could be around 20 damage, which is great for something that has level 5 HP, but not so good for something with level 30 HP.

    Either one or the other of two following changes would need to be made to invasion coding. They would either have to come up with a way for you to do the same percentage of the mobs' HP as you would to something of the same rank at your level, or they'd have to come up with let's say 5 different sets of invasion mobs, set to roughly levels 5, 15, 25, 35 and 45, and put whichever is most appropriate for for the midrange of each zone there.

    Without this, low level characters, and I mean specifically those below their 20s, just face enemies that are frustrating to fight, and increasingly-so the lower the level gets. To see this in action, try and take out a single invading Rikti Minion solo on a level 5 character. It is an uphill battle from the start, and you are most likely to end up with no endurance and an enemy with about half of their HP left. The GM/Invasion coding is not the miracle solution that some people think as it stands right now.
    If you go by UberGuy's post over here, it seems that Mobs using the GM/Invasion code can have their underlying level scale now.

    They're talking about the patch on the 16th which doesn't have notes in the Patch Note section, but they can be found here.

    Again in Primal earth, she passed during the events of the Freedom Phalanx novel set around 1985 I think.

    There's also the possibility of it being for his daughter.

    The thing I find saddest about STF speed runs is that I've never gotten to see the villains doing a treespec during the tree mission, always just get teleported to the end.

    So your assertion is that the picked a character at random and just happened to get the character who got his powers from the Well? From his arc "He definitely has powerful teleportational abilities. It's amazing what power the Well can grant its users... erm, forget I said that." Hell, since there were no indication before this arc that Hero 1 was an incarnate, Honoree was more of a random pick.

    I mean there's no reason to be concerned with whether or not the new animations would be liked by the majority of the player base more than the old animations because the old animations don't need to be replaced, they can be supplemented.

    Why would you worry about changing the animation when they'd more likely be added as alternate animations?
