I bet they've got an untimed dreck saved on Castles main.
Or they're farming that Carnie mission with the Madame of Mystery for summoned illusionists.
I bet there's some UBER SECRET spot the devs use just to be cool... like you talk to a fire hidrent or type in a certian command or something... like go into a telephone booth and type /superman or something... and it gives you XP for lvl 50 I swear game developers do this all the time, I know I would if i was a game developer...

I'd actually agree with you, because after all that is what most if not all "cheat codes" are for, is for the devs to test their product. At least, so I've heard.
So likely as not, there IS a command to do just that. However, if there is, I'm guessing it's disabled for players. 
Why bother? The Nerf Bat temp power makes every enemy do 1 damage and have no def/res.
Because no challenge = tons of reward.
Bah, the devs just load the game in development mode where the Character Creator has a selection for what level you want to begin at.

When we play on the development servers or Training Room, sure... but when we play on Live servers even we dont get any special commands or cheats. We level up just like the rest of you... I know I will be on with my Dominator a bunch this weekend.

why? not like you can get into a RSF with a dominator
Do the devs play on random servers or do you guys ever team up and play together on the same server?
is it a take your work home with you kind of feeling when you play? how about PuG's ever tell anyone yer a dev? lol I bet people get star struck and ask for you to make the boss at the end of the mission /e chickendance

Level 37 Fire/Energy... finished the second Respec trial last night.

Not bad. Did you have any problems with the main root?
I ask because I had problems keeping it from aggroing on me. Being a Mastermind, you wouldn't think you'd attract main aggro over your pets, but it happened all through the respec.
I think I died 3 times on the final mission, all to the Thorn Tree itself, and I had a full Domination bar at that point too. Once we got to the point where we were all attacking it (Brute, MM, Dom, Corr), it went down pretty easy, and no one died... unlike the first Respec trial, where we had multiple TPKs in the final room.

Thorn Tree is easy once you realize you need to sit out fighting it until the reinforcements stop coming.
Pretty much all there is to it.
Everything is Grey to Positron not to Domsitron.
On a funnier note. I can't wait to here when Domsitron gets a mission go fight Positron. oooooo

Huh. We actually have tended to kill it so fast the first wave just reached us (and started to maul us) as someone clicked on the seeds.
Of course that was before the AV change. Given the old timing, I suspect we'd have to fight the ambushes now.
Blue
American Steele: 50 BS/Inv
Nightfall: 50 DDD
Sable Slayer: 50 DM/Rgn
Fortune's Shadow: 50 Dark/Psi
WinterStrike: 47 Ice/Dev
Quantum Well: 43 Inv/EM
Twilit Destiny: 43 MA/DA
Red
Shadowslip: 50 DDC
Final Rest: 50 MA/Rgn
Abyssal Frost: 50 Ice/Dark
Golden Ember: 50 SM/FA
The ambush will come even with the AV at full health?
Task Forces shouldn't need 8 people to start ... it's not fun.

I dont believe this is 100% true, I was on once not to long ago when CuppaJo made an appearance for a super group costume contest that one of the SGs arraigned.
She logged on as a level 1 Fire/Fire blaster and then suddenly she was an untrained level 50.
So there is a /code to level.
As to what it is 
good luck ever finding out.

I was telling a friend about the Prestige bonus that we got. A nice surprise. He's a clever fellow. I respect the way he thinks.

Quiet on redname front. Sucks to be at work.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
