Doesn't have to have any glowy bits, just a staff that extends when you go into or out of combat mode. You can also make a tech/magic glow enhanced version, but don't forget the simple collapsible staff version as well.

As far as your original post, "Why they attacked in the first place" is explained and played through in the RWZ arcs and LGTF, fairly well. I'd rather not have more lore twisted, shredded, spindled, folded and mutilated to have more Cow-Well.

Odin will offer heroes and villains alike access to his mead halls, his training fields, and ultimately, even the power of the Well itself if we swear loyalty to him for the Battle of Ragnarok. (Which may or may not be the same as the Coming Storm, we all know Odin's pretty bad at understanding his own visions of the future)

It seems like a sweet deal, but villains are contacted by an entirely different Pantheon, the Goddess of Discord; Eris! In exchange for the help of villains to discreetly sabotage the Norse gods and trick Odin into isolating himself from others, she will reward you handsomely.

Meanwhile, heroes are called by Loki's wife, who has come to suspect her husband has been wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of Balder. And heroes must go behind the back of their grandfatherly patron to uncover the truth behind the assassination of the late god of light.

Incarnate level PVP, large scale battles with soldiers across eras, intrigue, and chaos abounds in City of Heroes: Freedom, Issue 23: Challenges of Valhalla.

Especially in a team that is steamrolling through things...add EBs for more XP!

Also, I hadn't thought about Zone Events for the revamps. Mr. Notorion, those are some great ideas.

CREY'S FOLLY:
Player suggestion:
"Hey, why hasn't there been some investigation into what Crey had going on, since they obviously have a presence there, as well as work containing the Devouring Earth?"

Dev reaction:
"The water is now empowered by the Well of the Furies. It's perfectly clear, but has a slight pink glow. We've gotten rid of the rusted industral look and turned it into a copy of Imperial City. Nemesis has bargained to hold a part of it, though, and put their own touch on the Freakshow town. The zone is now level 50 only."

Boomtown
Player request:
"Why don't we get some reconstruction started? As faultline proved, there could be threats for upcoming heroes to deal with as they uncover old bases."

Dev reaction:
"The theme of Boomtown is mutation gone awry! We've cleaned up the streets and replaced the destroyed buildings with giant "building creatures." The war walls are plaid. I have a banana for a car. It's a level 50 zone, where the Well is trying to empower the new mutant buildings and has told Tyrant to send Chimera to negotiate with his other Well-empowered self, the Reichsman. Also, Mother Mayhem is there, because boobies."

Perez Park
Player request:
"How about making the trees less of a pain for the players? Open up the maze a little. And give us a reason to fight the Hydra.

Dev reaction:
"The maze has taken over all of Perez Park. From the moment you step into the gate, you're in the maze. And it's level 50. The trees are being watered by the Well. Mother Mayhem is there having a picnic with her seers in the new Picnic iTrial. "

Players will wonder what the devs were smoking, except Golden Girl who will praise it as better than the second coming.

I'd also like to see Architect accessible from a base, which is what I thought this would be about.

I love this Idea I hope they implement it, because I WOULD LOVE TO SEE!!! Martial arts with some new flashy moves.

vanguard merits can buy a grai matter which can break down to a shard

that leaves reward merits and alignment merits, but alignment merits would be too unfair since it excludes rogues/vigilantes, and thus it leaves reward merits
