Enough with the necro-posting already. The shard is one of my favorite zones and i would love it if it gets upgraded, but I seriously doubt all this is going to get anything done.

So what were the Halloween Fir Bolg? I missed that event.

[/ QUOTE ]

They were basicly bladegrass with Jack-o-Lanterns for heads.

And I'd just like to add my support for an article on the amazing misplacer of artifacts, Ms Azuria.

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously, why do my contacts still think its a good idea to give her Li Kuah Tehs Eldrict Spatula of Grue-slaying anyway?

[ QUOTE ]
Though he isn't a member of the Freedom Phalanx, I don't see why there isn't a Portal mission seperate from the Praetorian arc that has a reverse-Blue Steel. Maybe when they add the shield power set?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because no one cares about Blue Steel. Seriously. Also hes on the police force, so unless another dimension has evil police, that wouldn't work.

If he does die, they better not change my Synapse's Cohort adge like they did to Bastion's.

That was pretty awesome when States laid that guy out. They shoulda brought Sister Psyche along, I kept thinking "Their party could really use a controller".

For the record- thanks, Manticore the dev and boxwood6177(note, this supercedes earlier listings of these hero's powers):

Positron is a Rad/Rad Defender.
Manticore is a Trick Arrow Archery Defender.
Sister Psyche is a Mind Control/FF Controller.

and just to fill in the other ones noted by many:

Miss Liberty is a MA/Inv Scrapper.
Mynx is a Claws/Regen Scrapper.
Luminary is an Energy/Energy Blaster.
Swan is a Kin/Psi Defender.
Synapse is an Elec/Elec Blaster (with SS).
Citadel (ex Bastion) is an Inv/EM Tank.
Numina is a Mind/Empathy Controller.
Valkyrie is a Spear(!)/Regen Scrapper.
Infernal is a Fire/Axe Tank.
Back Alley Brawler is an Inv/SS Tank.
And the now-AWOL Malaise was/is an Ill/Kin Controller.

I think you have Luminary and Positron backwards, although those are the powers their Praetorian counterparts have.

[ QUOTE ]
- Positron: What do you think his powers are?

[/ QUOTE ]

i'm pretty sure hes some sort of energy blaster (look at the Top Cow comic preview). My guess is that his secondary would also be energy, because you never see devs with weird combos like electricity/devices.

Where is this newsletter everyones talking about? The one I got in my email doesn't have anything like that.

[ QUOTE ]
Mother Mayhem has shown no signs of wanting her old body back.

[/ QUOTE ]

In that case can I have it?

I've played all three. CoH comes on top for me (tried beta GW, and later a friends copy).

WoW, I'm consistently unimpressed with the patches, and just don't have that much fun playing it.

GW, honestly, I don't see why so many people think its so great. To me it felt like Diablo II but slower and less fun.

But hey, who am I to tell people what they should like. Have fun whatever you decide to do.

1. Actually, we've tweaked SS in the past...

Is PvP a consideration? Sure. Is it THE consideration? No. Each of your points were primarily PvE issues.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, SS used to hugely debuff accuracy AND hugely buff defense. But that really would not work in, wait for it...

PvP!

I think a large part of the frustration alot of us are feeling is that before, these were minor issues that a very few would whine about but added alot of flavor to the game. But all of a sudden they become huge issues in PvP.

When SS gave -acc +def, it felt like that was because those two adjustments made sense for a player thats moving at 60+ mph. Now when you come and merely give it -acc, its because of people SS jousting.

By putting such a hugely overreaching nerf into effect, you've affectively nerfed accuracy for a very significant amount of players. Yes. Thats right. You nerfed accuracy.

If I didn't want to use strategies like jousting, I'd just go play World of Warcraft where sitting in the middle of a mob and whacking at them is less of a hassle because you have an auttoattack button. You don't want combat in CoH to degrade to sitting in front of an enemy and whacking them do you?

As for perma clicks, when you think about it they actually take more effort to keep going then running 6 toggles at once. Toggles are perma without hasten or any recharge SOs.

Dang it Recluse, you are evil.

wow, these changes look excellent. Nice use of the variable difficulty.

Was woodsman a member of the Phalanx or something? I did Numina's TF pre TF souveniers so someone help me out here.

Yep. I'll grant one of those original wishes.

Maybe two.

I hope it's snow and abominable snowman. Er, maybe santa hat. No, snowman. Hat. Snowman.

Oh come, on give us 3?

[/ QUOTE ]

My guess is snowman for sure, and maybe snow.

What about those shadow shard guys (Faathim the Kind, Ruludakk the Strong, Lanaru the Mad). sure they're 20 feet tall but cryptiv has to be going somewhere with the whole shadow shard thing.

Sorry if that was already metnioned.

I did this with a pickup group of three scrappers, an electricity blaster and a fire/kin controller. We just osrt of had at it without any real plan, lucky I knew about the ambrosia. With three scrappers you should be able to do it as long as your other teammates are competent really. I think the melees used 4 ambrosias. First time through we didn't have enough ambrosia so we had to logout (even if we did have enough we would have died because we didn't know to clear out the room. 120 crystal men all compressed to the size of 3 or so mobs looks pretty cool).
