War Witch did mention in one of last week's ustreams that they were updating the Atlas safeguard/mayhem maps, but not Recluse's Victory.

So anything new discussed in today's chat?

I logged a bug (totally different issue), but queueing up for a Keyes Island I was dropped from the league and cannot "rejoin last". The rest of the league made it into the trial without a problem. I was not in an Obo Taskforce, and I was not queued in LFG.

Right now I don't see that "Freedom Friday" was a very big success. This is for a couple of reasons:

1) Out of the 100s of questions asked, only a handful were answered or even acknowledged.
2) The questions that were answered have been answered before (forums, uStream, news articles), and were even in some cases aswered more than once in the FB thread.
3) Yes there were a lot of posts in the thread, but people new to the thread were asking quesitons already asked multiple times (must not have wanted to read through the thread).
4) There was more help from other players answering questions then the Mods.

Possible changes that may make it better in the future:

1) Acknowledge all unique questions. I know there are lot and you cannot comment on all of them, but the vast majority of them appear to just be ignored. Maybe even compile a forums post that answers them. There are some really good questions there that deserve an answer even if it is the trademark "we can't comment on that right now" answer.
2) In the opening post, refer people to the FAQ post for Freedom and the new one from Positron regarding character slots. I can't count the number of times that one was asked. Let's let people know what has been answered and remind them to please refrain from asking about it again.
3) Answer more then just five or six questions. This was billed as an interactive Q7A. It didn't feel that way.

I think it was a good idea, but right now it just isn't working.

Forget the new screenshots. Look at the info in that PCGame article:

Speaking about new items and costume pieces Brand Manager Hosun Lee said: “One of the most popular items is going to be something called an enhancement unslotter. Right now when you do a respect in City of Heroes you have to do the entire character, you can’t do one power at a time, we’re going to give players the ability to basically do respecs a la carte. We’re also granting players new costume parts. It’s got some great features players have been asking for once again such as glowing energy wings to make you look more angelic, you can leave a trail of fire behind you when you’re running, things like that. As well as other consumables such as double xp boosts, ability summons, temporary pets and a lot more than that.”

VIP users will have access to a monthly "signature arc" focusing on stories using signature characters. other users can buy access to these missions via the paragon store.

You do know you can talk to David Wincott and start his missions even if you aren't introduced?

The first time I heard someone mention kickball, all I could figure out is that a gravity troller would summon some junk and then the teams would kick it around a map.

Check out this site. This guy redesigned all of the Star Wars characters to be steampunk. Pretty cool.

Thank goodness on the S/L change. Before it was a guaranteed failure if you had more than 2 or 3 scrappers on the league.

I'm not saying I agree to the one target change, but A change was warranted.

Finally a fix to the Eden trial. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Also does the change to Marauder's S/L resistance make having scrappers and brutes on a MoLambda run feasible now?

I think it's a little late to get anything changed in the pack at this point.

Wish I could have helped. Tried to log on, but the lag was so bad that I couldn't even move. Freedom is gonna be awful on 5/27.

The word tangent is also blocked as being profane.
