Does this mean FF gets its reworking?
Folks have been asking for that since /Beta/.
What with _Castle_ hammering nails in the coffin of "distance = defence" 'n' all ...

I do believe you have succeeded admirably. <^-^> (I mean jeebus, how many times have I come back to this game after I've left?)
Usually when I quit a game, I'm done with it. Once in a blue moon, I'll come back to that game temporarily. There's only been 2 games I've done that with so far.
Then there's CoH - CoH I have quit at *least* 4 times by now; and I *still* come back. I've been playing since a month after release; and I've yet to find myself truly bored; especially when we keep getting cool additions <,<
Summed up: WIN!
A Warrior's Friend: ID 335212 - Help Infernal save Valkyrie from Battle Maiden.
Above Mars Part 1: The Wellington: ID 159769 - Save Mars by destroying a monstrous battleship from the inside!

Dual blades? I wanted three blades! I can hold one in my teeth. Arrrrrrr!!!
Otherwise, /signed. Amazing year.

/e Hugs Statesman and bursts into tears.
'you did it man, you did just that...'
I'm just so excited about this issue. This is seriously just too much win!!!
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.
It is and here's why:
They added loot three years in. This is no small feat and it could have backfired dramatically. Instead, they put in a 'lootorial' in both games and made the system entirely unobtrusive.
In the same issue as this game-altering system we got the States TF and a reworked Hamidon for endgame content.
Now if that wasn't enough, Issue 10 gave us the Rikti War Zone and invasions to allow us to team hero-villain AND get another raid event in the Mothership Raid. MORE stuff for our upper level characters to do and more costume and story arc options.
Now, Issue 11 closes the year with new powersets, new 'costume' options (If you consider customization a costume option) and more content, old and new!
Oh and did we mention more loot? And the IO sets for debuff/buff?
I'm already not even close to down with I10 content and now more stuff?
Wow.
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
I enjoyed the previous issues but I'm looking forward to this one the most!
Thanks guys!
I11 is looking to be a great issue and alot of stuff that everyone has been asking for in it.. But I hate to be a thorn in your side statesman, but I don't see anything about Nictus for Villains listed.. Hopefully this was just an oversite, and they will be coming soon (tm) (I12 plz).. thanks.

Anything?

It's good stuff, but I'm just not seeing any cause for all the exuberance. Weapon customization is something we've wanted for a long time but it's nothing to squirt your shorts over. Flashback is at best a wash, and will probably do more harm than good over the long run, and we don't know much about the new loot.

This is the most unsurprising statement you've made this year, I think.

Nobody* replays the game for the content, they replay the game to play new characters.
The new powersets in this issue represent a big *increase* in replayability.
*'nobody' in this case being a statistically insignificant number of RP wackos & other kooks.

Well I'd give this issue a 100%. Power customization for all levels, costume junkies and casual players, new powersets to support Alt-itis, PVP and PVE, and Rare IO's for the hard core players. Effectively hits all the kinds of players I can think of. Many thanks and I'm really looking forward to it.
Want to make the year 100% tho, serious revisions need to be made to Dominators and possibly Stalkers to make them more attractive to the PVE players.
The playerbase doesn't care if they are balanced, only if they want to play them. Given that Dominators and stalkers are below the 10% of online player categories, I'd say players are waiting for a serious fix to their PVE capabilities. Also, given that many players are avoiding 2 out of 5 AT's, it's seriously damaging whether players want to support their Alt-itis (IE replay) in COV.

Don't make me do you like I did the loot naysayers, Venture. Don't make me! 
Because you know, despite the doomsaying about alting dying, I have this strange desire to make a mace tanker and an AR blaster. Something I can say unequivocally I had no desire to before.

I rolled up an axe tank this very evening (and won him a million in a costume contest fresh out of the tutorial- maybe I am just naturally lucky!).
but take my word for it- stay away from AR.
if you ignore this voice of experience, for the love of sanity at least take something besides /dev for your secondary.
=(

Really, so you're giving brutes more weapon sets... some of the scrapper/tanker sets ported over?
Because, you know, we have been asking for that. A lot.

My Mace tank is 37 already, but he's DEFINITELY gonna hit 50 in a hurry once i11 gets here.
Oh, and my main, a 50 Claws/SR Scrapper who happens to be fully decked in lime green and black because those are my favorite colors...yeah...I'm more than a tad excited at the chance to get my hands on the Vanguard lime green blades...more than a tad...

Actually, I've been thinking of rolling up an AR for a while, this may Cinch it for me. The Vanguard Gauss Rifles are awesome looking, and I hope I can get one of those weird snub nose Nemesis gatling guns, the gold one with huge multi-barrel look. Here or Here
I'm trying to decide though, Elec manip for Meleeing or Ice manip for defense. (I like Elec's earlier attacks and utility powers better then energy's, and I don't often pvp)
Whats your take on best secondary for Rifle?
lol you're absolutely right! 
I left CoV in 2006 because i was tired of that game but with unpade 7, i came back and gave a second chance to CoH this time and now i just can't leave this game anymore... XD Update 7-10 just were too great!!1!

You had me at weapon customization
Pikie Zwei - DM/Regen Scrapper
B222-Fracture - Energy/Energy Brute
Widt - Katana/SR Scrapper
There is only one other thing that could have made this year even more triumphant for me concerning CoX and I don't think it'll be added anytime soon
