Jezus. Can we have your stuff now?
Be excited about something for once. This is really nice. Very, very good changes and improvements, new zones, .... but no, *you* wanted something else.
make your own damn game. Then you'll be happy.

Hey thats a pretty legitimate complaint though. Villains are RIGHT back with Arachnos. I can't wait till the RPers get ahold of this. Alot of em are gonna be pissed lol.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, it'll be a bit easier to role play than Khelds. The fact is that if Villains were given an "outside-the-story-line" epic, the hero side RPers would be screaming that it's not fair. I like the fact that they didn't go the "easy" route and just give Villains Khelds, but they kept it "even" by giving both sides epics that are tied to the story-line of the game.

Ok, So i can make a Elec/Regen Scrapper?? Or Brute?
or a Fire/Therm Controller?
Oh and one more thing? Talsorian Dual Blades???
PS: Do heroe's get Stalkers then too??
So many questions!!!

Some of those combos could be so awesome. How long until the nerf bat falls?
Paragonian Knights
Justice Company
Wow, this entire issue is full of awesome! Midnight squad seems like its gonna be an awesome NPC group to work with! I think I may actually have a reason to get a villian up to 50 now.
The villian epic archetype looks really cool, I've always wanted a set that branches out to different "jobs" or so to speak. I severely wonder how they will play like and hope to see great thigns about em! So excited!

I don' think it's so much that AT's are being ported, just more like the powersets that would thematically fit are being ported over to them.
Posi talks
Take a look at this, Posi said 20 powersets were getting spread out over the AT's.
heh, level boost up...(tries to find a way to time hitting a new level with AV fights or something where I'll actually need those temporarly boosts)
ok, im the last person to gush normally but.....
i12 looks like uber win

Looks like brutes are gonna get battle-axe. Judging from the picture at least. I'm all for weapon sets on brutes though!

Yeah, this is really quite difficult for them. Reskinned player Night Widows and Bane Spiders. Like we're not sick of dark evil shadowy eight legged mean spiders with webs of eight legged evil and shadowy dark evilness led by a demi-god named Lord Recluse.
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
Like everything for the most part, but...
...not really feeling the VEAT's just yet. I can be convinced with time, though!
Sounds like I'm going to have to put my controller on the back burner for a while so I don't outlevel the Midnight Squad thing -- it would be perfect for her.
Repeatable missions in the Hollows? Between that and the sewer, I can see people just grinding up to 20. Sounds dull to me, but I know some people will appreciate it.
VEAT sounds great. Now to actually get a villain to 50 ...
Looking forward to seeing what sort of powersets have made the crossover, even though I really don't want to *have* to roll any more characters ... darn them for twisting my arm like this!
34 heroes,
20 villains, Victory, Justice, Infinity, Virtue, Triumph, Exalted -- some more active than others
Wow, that all looks sweet. I like the new click on names of chars in chat to do stuff and linking enhances in chat. All this looks awesome to me. Also the wife almost has her villain to lvl 50, so good for me hehe. Thanks devs and NC. Crab Spiders have always been my fav lookin Arachnos, now i can be one, sweet.

*faints from sheer win*

*collapses from indecision*

Malentis Level 50 Ice/Energy/Leviathan Dom (Freedom)

noooooo /trick arrows pleeeeaaaaase
seriously, trick arrows. NOW
I just hope that the costume pieces that are available to the Villain Epic Archetypes are not only available to them, wthin reason. I have wanted that metallic-sheen costume style since before this game existed and I want it available for all characters. I would have no problem with the raised design being exclusive, but I hope most of it is not exclusive.
I like the Roman cape a lot, though.
Edit: And I hope they give us two more character slots on each server because of all the new options available in this Issue.

I do believe this is officially full of win.
And I12 was supposed to be the "small" issue leading up to I13? Man... I13 will be scary huge if this is "small"...
