Nobody* replays the game for the content,
...because they can't.
Don't make me do you like I did the loot naysayers, Venture. Don't make me!
Bring it. :P
Because you know, despite the doomsaying about alting dying, I have this strange desire to make a mace tanker and an AR blaster.
I have no real interest in creating anything I wasn't creating before, though I am putting off the Axe Tanker I was thinking of rolling up until after I see what Willpower looks like.

Careful, Venture. Thanks to I11, Geko's got a whole lot of new things to hit you with. Sledgehammers, shovels, pipewrenches... this could get ugly. 
I said over a year ago that 2007 was going to be a great year and I was right. But looking at how things are warming up a bit later in the year than I expected I'd say 2008 will be a whole lot more interesting again.

I'm just so excited about this issue. This is seriously just too much win!!!
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.

Venture has already lost. He's already backed off on his more strident declaration that Flashback is a bad idea. Look at his quote above:

When has the Venture ever shied away from making bold declarative statements...
Oh right...when he dared stand in opposition to the EVILGEKO!
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.

Yeah I'm looking at that now and it didn't really come out the way I intended...
I meant that I---
Actually, I sort of like it as is.

Ok so I am over the unlockable thing(I get over stuff fast.. in the mean time I go all out. That is just my style of SPLATTERING MY EMOTIONS ALL OVER THE WALL THOUGH.. annoyingly cheerful has to be balanced out by something).
This is indeed the BEST ISSUE EVAR.
I might make a AR blaster. Finally. I've been waiting for the day they replaced the frankengun. THIS IS JUST AS GOOD. BETTER ACTUALLY.
Geko,
I have to totally 100% agree with you on this!!!
EXCELLENT job to the entire staff at Cryptic for making 2007 a Very Great Cryptic Year indeed.

If you go all guns and ammo on us, consider making a superspy on Protector!
...but keep it on the QT!

What I see in I11 makes me very excited.
I like the fact that they have (and presumably will continue) to introduce loot, and then make the game harder, but instead of making it harder for everyone, they give us the ability to crank it up another notch on our terms. I have long desired to be able to turn the difficulty up to 6, but it looks like with the options we are getting for missions, we will be able to do even more.
Starting us down the road of power customization is a great thing. It gives us all the clear indication where you are trying to head.
I am intrigued by the new mechanic Dual Blades is introducing, I imagine this is something that could be expanded upon in the future if it works well.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

So you two ARE going to go door to door beating people up?
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
I8 - Eh, kind of like really really small I went through it in like 1-2 days on test and then was like kay and went back to my business... didn't seem as much like an issue as it was a patch with a few neat tricks and some content that gets glossed over as quickly as the rest of the game content (by that I mean it gets kinda boring/predictable after 1-2 runs through)... when I'm thinking of issues I normally forget this one because I'm still like WTF that was an issue??
I9 - Really good
I10 - Imo pretty bad (key word: imo), maybe not the worst, but really really meh, at least it didn't take a long time though..
I11 - Looks to be decent (not as horrible as was I10) but not that great, the flashback thing might be useful and the new inventions looks to be cool. Will wait and see for dual blades/willpower..

Thanks to everyone at Cryptic for all the hard work that must have been needed to make it happen! I'm having a ball with Inventions and Rikti-raiding, then you go spring this up-coming wow-fest upon us.
I look forward to I11 with anticipation!
