*sigh* Way to screw villains YET AGAIN.
*HIGHLY disappointed with the "epic" archetype*
[/ QUOTE ]
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.
[/ QUOTE ]
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 ]
my impression is that you are now fulfilling your role as a Destined One, which is to bascially screw Arachnos and everyone else.
but we'll see...
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
If only we could get more character slots. Seriously! More character slots pleeeeeeease? You're going to break my heart with making me have to delete a few characters on my favorite server! 
Playstation 3 - XBox 360 - Wii - PSP
Remember kids, crack is whack!

Axe brutes! Plant controllers!
THERE HAD BETTER BE STORM CORRUPTORS.

/Storm Corruptors... done.
[/ QUOTE ]
OK lemme try one too!
There had better be Pistol Blasters/Corruptors!!!
There had better be Masterminds for Heroes!!!!!
[/ QUOTE ]
Not only does the term ' Mastermind ' not really fit thematically with blue side, but also, I'll be damned if I see you tutu wearin, teeth brushin, shower takin heroes get my favorite archtype.
[ QUOTE ]
Rome zone is like...I'm not disappointed or excited, mostly because it seems a little out of the blue.
[/ QUOTE ]
Not really. A bit before Issue 11 was released, a bug on Test unlocked a whole bunch of costumes, including then-unreleased ones like Jester, and NPC costumes. One of them was a Roman outfit. I speculated at the time that Ouros would allow travel back to Roman times; looks like I was right, but off an issue.
Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
This looks awesome! Very excited.
Adding my request for more slots per server. I don't want to move because all my friends are there, etc., etc. I will *happily* pay more for extra spots so I can keep my vet rewards. Tons of things I want to try now. Storm corruptor? Plant controller? Yes, please!

OK then lemme fix my original post:
There had better be Commanders (Masterminds) for Heroes!
Take that you jester wearing, yellow teeth having, smelly villain! To Bloody Bay!
This is just...well...AWESOME!!! Massive Kudos to the Devs!
let's see: power proliferation...SWEET!! Though I never understood why powers had to be specific to hero/villian sides. Why couldn't thre be a hero that controls plants, and all that other stuff. Makes sense to me and glad they started this.
More low level content: more sweetness. no more PLing past those boring first few levels
More co-op? will make leveling my 42 villian to 50 easier...to get
VEAT...NICE!! I understand the misgivings some have about having a VEAT that is a LR lackey, but a simple backstory and you can easily not be one. The VEATs will obviously not be for everyone, same for the hero EATs. I personally can't stand playing kelds.
Roman armor: I've been waiting for this since the peek we had a few months back. I see they are "earned". I guess it will be for the higher levels like the Vanguard pieces. *wonders if it's the same buying mechanic or tied as mission bonuses*
I can't wait!!! I'm gonna have to start sending the wife and baby out to "run errands" more
Holy smoke.
Just... ...
Also...*hides from Leech*
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

JOIN THE MIDNIGHT SQUAD (LEVELS 10 - 20)
...The Midnighters hold a secret that could bring the alien assault to an end, but without the help of the Heroes of Paragon City it will remain Lost forever.
[/ QUOTE ]
Probably reading too much into this but is this a hint that the Rikti invasion will be going away at a later date along with the accolade? Just wondering with the numerous invasion dates lately, my tinfoil hat is itching.

NEW ROMAN-STYLE ZONE MAPS (LEVELS 35 - 50)
The Midnighters hold many secrets within their walls, including a highly coveted Ouroboros crystal, enabling them to travel to the far reaches of time. There is a familiar threat in an ancient land and the Midnighters need the help of both Heroes and Villains to stop it. Players step foot upon the ancient land of the Roman Cimeroran Peninsula, where they battle deadly creatures, defend an ancient city and ultimately come face to face with the enemy of time itself. Throughout this journey players uncover the mysteries of power and the origins that guide them today.
[/ QUOTE ]
First, nice stuff all around. I'm loving the whole attitude and atmosphere in the game now.
Second, my first thought above is: Please tell me these will be archane enemies. (I need more options for the good salvage.)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

I swear there is a picture within all those smileys...
[ QUOTE ]
So, was I reading it right that each AT will get one primary and secondary power from its corresponding AT? If so that's awesome!
[/ QUOTE ]
Every AT gains at least 1 powerset -- Masterminds only get a Secondary, no new Primary. Brutes get 2 new Primaries, and 1 secondary. Everyone else gets 1 Primary and 1 Secondary.

If I see Empathy for villans I will die happy.
Seriously.
[/ QUOTE ]
Seriously. I would go back to attending villain hami raids if it meant I didn't have to count on people bringing Warburg nukes for buffing before the charge. I always feel vaguely terrible that I don't like pvp zones and can't contribute more than an alpha-soaker for that part of the raid.
PL my empathy corr, IFeelUrPain!*
* = because "and it makes me tingly" won't fit in the character name box... man, I like the concepts for villain empaths so much better than hero ones...
edited to add: Bah. If corruptors only get one new primary (per Castle, 2 or 3 above), and we know they're getting storm, then they aren't getting empathy. Ah well...

I think this all looks great, and I can't wait to try it!
Please try my custom mission arcs!
Legacy of a Rogue (ID 459586, Entry for Dr. Aeon's Third Challenge)
Death for Dollars! (ID 1050)
Dr. Duplicate's Dastardly Dare (ID 1218)
Win the Past, Own the Future (ID 1429)
I'm - and this is going to sound odd coming from me, I suppose - on the fence about the epics.
On the one hand - more storyline to explore, woohoo! and the branching powersets, if I'm reading them right, will be very interesting (I'm *assuming* you pick, say, Night Widow and can't take Fortunata.) I look forward to them doing that with more things, including perhaps story arcs. (Though, somehow, I think we'll have more badgers complaining because... it'll be tied to a badge. Get one, don't get the other.)
On the other... well... I'm an arachnos minion. Which isn't, to me, all that exciting. I' far more interested in the power trays, hollows makeover and contact redesign... how's that sound?
(No, I *still* don't want to see Empathy Corruptors. And yes, I do play Redside.)

My sentiments exactly. Though I'm not particularly enthusiastic about the story either.
Doom.
Yep.

[ QUOTE ]
hah, and *lmao*, they remade the Hollows... why not a remade Mercy Island?
[/ QUOTE ]
I would LOVE it if they did that! Please consider cleaning up Mercy. Removing all the boxes and other trash alone would reduce a lot of the lag associated with the zone. It be simple to explain story-wise as well... have the citizens of RI become vindictive towards villains, like a neighborhood clean up. You could do so much with that as well, like you could have villains run missions to try ruin the zone again.
Anyway, this issue looks GREAT! I hope I get invited to closed-beta.

this sounds great but It brings up 1 large problem, my "home" server is full, 8 heros 4 villians, don't really want to move to another server(due to friends and sg mates)and dont really want to delete chars to make room for new ATs,I have 2 lvl 50 villians and 2 lvl 50 heros.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah the only thing that could make this issue better is 4 more character slots. I mean the servers DID just get an upgrade.
Hoping that the transfer feature didn't kill all future possibility of getting more slots.
Luckily I left one spot open on Guardian specifically for a Villain epic. But now... with elec armor tanks or plant controllers or thermal defenders... and TWO villain epics that sound much more varied than pb/ws... crap!
