I blame QP.

Someone (I think War Witch) mentioned that this new zone was located between the war walls.

Monkey!!!!!! <3

I actually also play Lord of the Rings Online (it's F2P) and will probably resub as a VIP when CoH is gone. It can be grindy, but I have enjoyed it.

These powersets were announced in today's TwitchTV broadcast. They will be in I24 and are free for VIPs:

Martial Combat (blaster secondary)
•Chi Push (repel followed by knockback (cool new animation)
•Storm Kick (melee)
•Dragon Kick (melee)
•Dragon's Tail (PBAoE melee)
•Burst of Speed (AoE self TP)
•Reach for the Limit (Build up auto power—Chance for +dam and +ToHit on every power)
•Reaction Time (toggle—+absorb over time, +revocery, -move on enemy; 10 seconds of +speed on toggle off)
•Inner Will (self heal and ,ez break—only unsable under 50% end or health or when mezzed)
•Throw Sand (cone foe stun)

Martial Assault (secondary for Dominators)
•Shuriken Throw (has a new animation)
•Thunder Kick (melee—MA port)
•Trick Shot (chain power—shuriken bounces between targets)
•Spin Kick (front facing cone like the incarnate power without the teleport)
•Envenomed Blades (build up power; adds toxic damage to all attacks for a time)
•Dragon's Tail (PBAoE melee)
•Caltrops
•Masterful Throw (snipe; chance for DoT damage)
•Explosive shuriken (single target with chance for splash DoT)

I have two:

water/ice blaster: Kaelynn (name means peaceful river)
water/poinson corrupter: Exxon Valdez (oil blaster)

It goes live on 7/10. Date was revealed in the Interpid Informer article posted 7/4.

Or you can always put it down to "time works differently in the spirit realm then in the real world."

Personally I love the event and have been running it an average of 3 times a night. Most of the time we get all 10 badges on each run. The monkeys can be hard depending on the team makeup, but I have only ever not gotten the God Champion once.

The level restriction on the IOs is supposedly a bug they are looking into.

I know some sets (ice and DP) don't have a real snipe per say. Are you looking at doing anything to those sets to level the playing field after the snipe change or just banking on their unique nature being enough?

Hope you get your computer issues ironed out fairly easily and quickly.

Arbiter Hawk can we tweak the air crackle warning as well? This should really be a mapwide warning. People coming back from a death or from grabbing a light often jump right into the attack because they did not get the warning.

They should still get the leather and chainmail sets when they are available shouldn't they?

As already stated, they explicitly said yesterday that I23 will not launch in May. The summer event start date was confirmed as 7/10.

I love Praetoria as well. The biggest problem in my opinion is that if you make a Praetorian character, you are stuck there until level 20. You can go to Pocket D, but you cannot exit to Paragon City or the Rogue Isles.

In my opinion MMs are all about the pets. They do most if not all of your damage and keeping them alive keeps you alive. There are three different pet sets that provide aura protection (defense/resistance) for pets and those are a great start. Recharge is nice to make sure you can always summon new pets when/if you need them. On MMs I tend to take powers that will benefit my pets like the leadership pool. I also like putting the slow set damage proc IO in caltrops so they do extra damage. However two of those procs cap out below 50, so if you are only using 50 IOs then they would not be an option.

I was walking around Sam's Club when I saw a dual pack of City of Heroes/City of Villains. I had never played an MMO before and was looking for something new to play. Took it home and installed it. Rolled up a MA/Regen scrapper and never looked back. Happy 8th CoH!

And besides, as VIPs we are supposed to have "priority", but I also get the retrieving character list every time I log in. It never goes to straight to the character list like it used to.

Awesome! Now announce the dates already.
