And I thought Issue 10 was awesome sounding before I played it...
I'm uber-excited to the point of geeking out!

Yeah, but if it was customizable powers coming out first, I bet you'd be singing a different toon.

Nope! I stated "one big bundle would be worth waiting for".
I have toons with weapons and without. So I definately would have the same opinion.

So I stand corrected. :-D

Well first of all I'm against the Purples in principle, it's just taking yet another page out of the standard MMO handbook, would rather they had tried something totally unique or at least more unique...
As for the release as a whole this is a heavily melee centric issue.
Weapon Customization affects more melee toons than any other toon, tanks an scraps have more weapon based powers than any other at...Masterminds? yeah because THEY take those rifle and other such powers so often...to quote Borat, "Not!".
One blaster set gets customization...one non-melee CoH set gets to take advantage of this assuming you didn't take the frankengun APP...
And they get two new powers to boot. Melee should be extremely happy with this issue and everyone else should be very content with the fact that we have Flashback 
I'm happy enough for that since I have no toons affected by the other stuff.

I am really excited for this, but really I just want to know if I can change the Mace into a Bat and can finally make my Bionic Six Sport One character I have always wanted.
I guess the only thing I dont like...which im not sure how to avoid, is that with the time travel, power leveling is now more attractive. PL up..go back get all the badges and your set.

My apologies if I missed it, but will we be able to have different weapon looks for each costume slot?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes.

Please tell me I can customize robots, that'd be so awesome! Either way really neat things going into this one, liking the sound of dual blades combo system...reminds me of the guild wars assassin

Sorry, no. See weapons guide in my sig.

I am not sure why this is a bad thing. If the Devs wanted to avoid it, they could just give the stuff away to start.
I am not sure so much PLing will go with it. take the Red cap dagger as an example. With my lvl 50 spines/regen scrapper, I can kill 333 of those in far under two hours, maybe even under 1. So if my friend wants that dagger for his lvl one toon, I will sk him in steel, run there or get a tp tot eh train, go to Croatoa, and get it for him/her. They not get any xp, but they will get the badge and item they want. I really have no problem with that.

So I'm all kinds of excited for I11. I know I'll be spending large amounts of time re- designing both costumes and weapons. Might even be able to get some friends back into the game. Um did they give a hopeful date for the release?
So when does I 12 come out??

Soon? Thats not soon enough.
Redesigned weapons. Neat.
I don't suppose I can get a redesigned Animate Stone someday?
....crickets chirp...tumbleweed drifts by........
I completely love the idea of i11, especially some of the weapon customizations to make your character more unique and their own person among everyone else.
Hopefully they got this tested out because I want it to go live in the midmonth of November after the Halloween Event is done LOL.
I hope there will be K-9/Wolf parts because I'm still waiting for them to make an appearance

Okay....flashback will be reality. But I have to ask....
Will an Outbreak flashback be available? Let that one lone contaminated in RV get some rest......
Pretty please? My early characters (pre-badges) would really like to get those without having to work for eons in RV farming one mob.......
Please, Posi?

This new issue sounds very exciting. I wonder how it will work with getting very rare recipes? Will that replace the available reward at the end of a Task Force? Or will you still be able to choose only Rare Recipes?

No! Rocket packs we need jet packs! :O
Any thoughts on this part of the posting?
"Dual Blades also uses a brutal new Combo system, where the order of your strikes can create new advantages for you to take down your foes!"
I find this very interesting... a definite departure from the current combat system. Are we looking at an entirely new way of considering combat?
