I knew there was a time to save this word for, and I'm so, SO, SOOOOOO glad I did.
I think I just joygasmed from the sheer amazing-ness of WEAPON CUSTOMIZATION!

Current power sets that benefit from this upgrade include Assault Rifle, Mercenaries/Assault Rifle, Bow, Broadsword, Claws, Villain Claws, Dual Blades (see below), Katana, Ninja Blade, Mace, Robotics/Pulse Rifle, and Thugs/Dual Pistols.

I am totally surprised and happy to see this option, However where is the Battle Axe.
Please tell me that this is just a textual oversight not a powerset oversight.

[/ QUOTE ]It's just a textual oversight. One of the devs confirms that Axes are in fact in the weapons customizations options.
I just want to say Great Job!!!! Since i6 I've only seen positive changes to this game. I can honestly say I get excited about each new issue coming out. Hats off to the Devs/Designers on what looks to be another fantastic issue. For i12 I must beg you for more toon slots on each server....IM GOING TO NEED EM :P

This does look promising.
My only concern.. are you going to lock us out of test server again? This new ritual, started with i9 I think, has got to stop. You didn't used to lock us out of test server 
[/ QUOTE ]
So we can have another issue 7? No thank you.
[/ QUOTE ]
Agreed, would rather have small amount of testers.......as long as I'm one of em
[/ QUOTE ]
I haven't yet got into a closed Beta, but I fully agree with them doing it. They open it to the public, they end up with 2-3 days where no real testing is going on, just a lot of servers dying. That then slows down getting it to live. You put it in a closed beta first, you find out about the major bugs before you let the general public in.
I sense much win eminating from this issue.
It is almost overwhelming...BUT WE SHALL MAKE IT THROUGH
I peed myself a little. The Devs rules all, I don't care what anyone says. I11 FTW!!
<QR>
I am deeply and profoundly impressed. 
Excellent implementation of many critical suggestions made by players.

I'm not happy about the new IO sets because I think we have enough of them as is.
[/ QUOTE ]
The highlight of the new IO sets are to the powers that do not have any eligible sets.
Not enough when some power sets are left out.
[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, the only thing I am not happy about are the purple IO sets.
The current IO sets are already rare enough, and the good ones cost A LOT. Now their gonna put even more rare ones in there.
[/ QUOTE ]
But with the new Super Rare IO Sets, hardcore PvPers will not buy as many of the "Regular Rare" ones; less demand -should- result in lower prices.

I was kind of hoping for IoPs. Has this just been permanently shelved? I can stop worrying about base prestige if this is the case.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGISSUE11FORTHEWIN!!!!!1! !
*Ahem* Now that I've got the fanboyness out of my system, I can properly thank the devs for one of the single nicest QoL improvements evar. *Puts on his Rocky Horror cd and starts looping Time Warp for a few hours*
Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.
Debuff sets Muhuhaha, love it .
now just 1 question left where are the fabled Villian Epics?
<snif> i want <snif>
BTW Devs love you all keep up the great work
( now i need to go buy 1 more acct for all the new toons , (Arrrrgghhh) Altitis setting in lol )
Talos Maltalomar lvl 50 Rad/Rad Corrupter - Triumph Server
Arack BloodThrall lvl 50 BS/SR Scrapper - Triumph Server
Rose's Kiss Lvl 50 Mind/Nrg/Ice PermaDom - Triumph Server
Hmmm, I work a 14 hour day and come home to this. . . Dagnabit, just when everything in my life was looking downtrodden and heartbroken you Devs dare to whip this out. . .
Hmmm, I guess bad days can become good days with enough careful consideration by people you have never met.
This just sounds, as so many before me have said, so full of win. Thank you for making my day a little brighter, I shall go forth tomorrow with a smile on my face and a renewed sense of hope in humanity. . . Well at least until I get into work. . .
OMFG!!!
FLASHBACK!?!?
*clutches chest, swoons*
MEEEDIICCCC! WE NEED A MEEEDIIICCC!
OMFG!!! WEAPON CUSTOMIZATION!?
*goes purple*
CODE BLUE! CODE BLUE! WE NEED A CRASH CART IN HERE!!!
Are we going to get a way to orginize/keep track on our contact list then with the ability to go back, our list is gonna get mighty loing and disorginized, keeping track of what we need to do to get a "complete" charatcer thats done every arc might for some people be a chore

For Masterminds it's the bow, pistols, assault rifle, and pulse rifle for Ninja, Thugs, Mercenaries, and Robotics powersets. If you don't take any of those 3 non-pet powers available then you won't see your fancy weapon.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, unless you're /TA...
Hm... how about a bow-like option for the Primary attacks so even if the graphics don't look like a bow, at least it stays in theme. I'm not really sure what I'm thinking of here, but maybe a medieval looking Arquebus for Thugs, and maybe something that looks like a laser bow for Robots...
Or maybe a sort of combo weapon that is a bow, but has a pistol built into the grip... Hum, I guess that would mean customizing the TA bows as well.
One reason I don't want to use the bow on my Ninjas/FF MM, though, is because the medieval look doesn't fit the tech theme of FF. A techy-looking, glowing green bow, on the other hand...
Issue Eleven took all the other issues combined, dragged them out back, beat them up, tossed them in a dumpster, set the dumpster on fire, froze them with a capsule of liquid nitrogen, put them on a flight to Paris, took them up the Eiffel Tower, and threw them out the window.
Kudos guys, kudos.

this probably sound like a stupid question, but what is the exact date i11 is coming out?
[/ QUOTE ]
No one knows. Not even the Developers. Actually, don't bother asking. The Developers -NEVER- say when.
[/ QUOTE ]
Sure they do - Soon (tm)

There seems to be an unusually low amount of d000000m!!!! in this thread, but I am impressed by how hard the nay-sayers are working to say what's wrong with I11.
I, for one, welcome out weapon customizing overlords.

[ QUOTE ]
will the weapon customization effect ninja katanas or bows?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, and this was actually a tricky combination to figure out. A Thugs/Trick Arrow Mastermind for example will be able to customize both their left and right hand pistol as well as their bow.
[/ QUOTE ]
OMFG!!!!!!!!!! When I stop to consider the amount of work needed to implement that level of customization...
Wow... You folks must really love your work. Thank-you.

Any chance that Ouroboros will let villains do the hero missions, and heroes do the villain missions? Or are we still stuck with our own side's content?
