I dont see any reason why they wouldn't include it. It's not a balance issue or anything, but more of a "make things easier" issue and I'm not sure why they wouldnt want that.
yay!

Is that the one where you vent radiation on the down beat?

That, and it solves the situation of "Didn't we just arrest this guy...?!"

I always just thought they were really quick at breaking out of prison, and setting up shop again.
Good stuff! ^^
Now all we need is the ability to drop missions. *nudges Positron*
This is good news...but I wonder: will this result in players 'running out of missions'? Over in CoV, my assumption has been that they have planned from the beginning to allow this feature, and thus know that they won't run into large mission gaps. For example, the newspaper missions will always be an option.
But in CoH, we already have known mission gaps (around 35-40, for example, depending on your difficulty rating and playstyle). Since we will no longer be running through Frostfire or Atta like 10 times per toon (and thus not getting the XP from those extra runs through the mission), will this create a mission shortage at other levels?
Or...are those newspapers making it over to CoH as well...? 
It is purely optional. So if you and another teammate have the same mission, they can opt to not have the mission complete apply to them. Thus, if you are worried about running out of missions, you can simply make sure you say no when the pop-up appears asking if you what to share the mission complete credit on someone elses mission.
Hollows missions may be fun again: yay, no more Frost Fire 8 times in a row with the same team!
And yes: please bring some of the newspaper missions over to CoH to fill the 35-40 mission gap.

Yes...
BUT not right away. As soon as we get newspaper tech in, we'll get the mission completion sharing in...

Oh, so newspapers are partly to make up for the possibility of running out of missions due to mission sharing?

I don't see the newspaper working quite so well for us...
'I see in the paper that the bank was robbed yesterday. If only I'd been there in time to do something about it.'
Nah, a police radio or something of that ilk is a much better idea.

HAHAHAHA!
Good call on the police radio. Or maybe some kind of Freedom Phalanx emergency channel. It'd work like the newspaper in CoV, but you could have the hero pull out a field-radio (similar to the one Merc Masterminds use to summon their minions).
I know this is off topic but i see red names replying to post here but why won't anyone relpy to the issue regarding the CoV updater and why it keeps "checksumming"

when he said newspaper, I thought it was going to be so we would have something to read with all the downtime that will be coming with ED. :/
Cool beans. Glad to hear the newspaper tech will make it over as well.

Actually, if they do the newspaper bit for Heroes it would be more like: "Hmmm I just read there was a new Museum Display over in Talos on Ancient Magical Atifacts. I bet the Circle of Thorns will be interested in it. I think I'll keep an eye out for them to make a move." The Radio Scanner is a good one to. Maybe that would work more along the lines of intercepting PC Villains in the act of robbing a bank?
Hmmm... so, so many possibilities.

Maybe you should try asking in the forums for that game. [censored].

I've seen responses to this issue in the past. It is not the first time it has happened - nor will it be the last. There are are various methods that it can be fixed... but... this is not the right forum for it.

One of the best features I saw in CoV beta was Mission complete sharing. Basicly, if players in a group have the same mission then they all have the option to have that mission completed at the end. A group of 8 could all go through Frostfire once and everyone could have it count as completed. This is a great improvement and hope this is carried into CoH in issue 6
