I thought it was a dumb name at first because it reminded me of that crappy movie, but it actually fits somewhat better than "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider"... Or does it?

I highly, highly douby Issue Six is going to be about a schizophrenic serial killer. Your Google-fu sucks.
However, the name implies the surfacing of the dormant villain group SPIDER (which does in fact still exist in the world of CoV) in Paragon City.

It does? I thought that SPIDER was retconned into Arachnos for entirely out-of-story reasons.

I think most will be calling it "Along came a Nerf".
I'll be calling it "Little Miss Muffet took it in the Tuffet" to commemorate all the Perma-Power users who are going to be walkin funny for the next couple weeks.

"Nope, just fine! Perma with 2 SOs and Quickness. Whatever are you talking about?

"Ooh... I guess Quickness is the only perma-hasten game in town now. Too bad you
uber scrappers won't take a defensive powerset that is "teh gimp!" "

Both were spoken of simultaneously when I3 originally launched. And in an early CoV mission, I'm hired to sniff out a Council spy in Arachnos midst. SPIDER comes up, somewhere in the dialogue.

But stupid!
*cackle*
Interesting but stupid? That sounds like a brilliant story arch title..
*runs for his notebook*
"His Imperial Majesty's Minister of Restraints and Leather" -LHF
Two naughty acronym teams / Ascension / Convenient / Artic and the Chillz / Fap / Other teams I can't remember (sorry.. mind is goin')
or it is about a serial killer because
Lord Recluse = Recluse Spider = Serial Killer (Lord Recluse not the spider)

I wasn't implying that I6 was about a serial killer. I get the obvious reference to Lord Recluse and Arachnos. I was just pointing out that the "crappy movie" Along Came a Spider was based on a very good book.

If changes to video games cause that I think you have some issues that need to be resolved...
Bleh I was talking more about the people who were starting to recover from nerfs and getting their confidence back on their builds then having to deal with ED.
And on a sidenote....pssst I'm female no erections to dysfuction..lest I feel like being mean
Question... I have dialup, and the I6 patch is HUGE. I left it downloading all night, and the bar hardly moved. I'm also getting CoV (pre-order- I've also been in the CoV Beta for... a while, now). I'm assuming that a lot of the new content is CoV stuff- so, for example, the new villain costume options will be visible to heroes during PvP, and perhaps introducing some of the new npc vilalin groups to CoH users. Does anyone know if there's any way I can download just the parts of I6 that won't be in CoV?

Actually, according to the comic, Lord Recluse is a mass murderer, not a serial killer.
"Along came a spider" would indeed be synonymous with "Along came Lord Recluse"

I wonder how that will be received.

With a double helping of d00m, sprinkled liberally with "it will kill the game!"

Sorry to see that some think this way, for me i like CoV and i want to see what the new stuff is going to be like. nothing is going to stop anyone from playing the game normally. If you don't want to buy it you dont have to. I used to play EQ and every new patch you had to pay for you got nothing for free, I think that they have done good with not charging for the updates on CoH. Just my .02
So, I play a little CoH and exit it, and the post-game patcher comes up...
1.6 gigabytes?
What is in this download? That's about the size the first CoV beta build I downloaded was!
