Issue 7: Patron Powers!
So far I like it alot.
The doom-crying would be more convincing if it wern't the same people wern't doom crying in every forum.
I especially like the look of Black Scorpion. Arachnobot Disruptor? Toxic Tarantulas? OMG!
Welp... someone pointed out to me that "Chum Spray" has the greatest potential for humorous chat typos.
I can't wait.

I don't like the sound of that

You do realize that Cuppa works for NC Soft, not Cryptic, right?
She's not even in the same state as Cryptic and their QA team working on I7...

Wouldn't Geko be a better choice than Positron? Positron is in charge of badges and rewards and whatnot.
The instant I get chum spray for my dom im setting up a macro where I yell; "I'm gonna PUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!!!!"
Positron is lead developer, I thought. He got a level bump when States was changed to lead creative designer.
I'm sorry...all I can think of after reading Mako's powers is:

In the lobby of the watchtower in Grandville is a statue of each of Lord Recluse's lieutenants. At the base of this statue is a plaque that, when you click on, brings up a text box with tabs. The tabs are for the Archetype, and it goes into detail about the powers (including the hard numbers) that that Patron will give that Archetype. (Thus you can easily look at all the patron powers for your AT, and even those not for your AT).
You are given a mission to visit each of these plaques before you choose your patron.

Friggin...Cool!!!
Given numbers in the game. *glee*
That sound's cool, but I think I will make my choice by what fit's my char and is not to distracting (sharks)
Pets for my Brute.. wonder if its damage adds to Fury..
Now for my MM's.. Sharks dont have lasers on their fricken heads.. so I'll pass on Capt Shark Boy.. might go with the Mace for /Traps or Mu Mastery. Soul Mastery might be good to lock down Boss/AV's.. then sick the Mercs on them..

That's a very interesting way to present the info, thanks. Just... double check the old spellchecker, please.
I did notice that choices are less varied than the heroes. Alot less varied since this is essentially around 6-8 powers from each patron simply rearranged. It is nice to see that villains get a pet though reguardless of the AT.
They did it specifically to irk you, Severe.

There was some talk about a set of 'epic pools' for players who chose not to ally themselves with a patron; has this gone by the wayside, or is there going to be a set of pools for the 'unaligned' villains?
