It's starts with screaming...

As if from far away, you begin to hear what might be wind, or waves, or a locomotive.

Slowly the volume increases and you begin to hear distinct voices. Thousands, nay, millions screaming in agony, pleasure, joy and hate.

The sounds fills the chamber from all directions and none at all. In the center, a light flickers, darting, dancing across the floor. Red like blood. Burning blood. Lines are drawn. Strange and wondrous symbols appear on the floor. A huge pentagram springs forth with the bloodfire arching several feet into the air before splashing back down in perfect and splatter free lines and curves.

That's when the schism yawns wide. The screams of the tormentors and tormented assault your ears, your mind, your soul. From the newly formed pit more bloodfire is sent splashing into the air, but this time there is no rhyme. No seeming reason.

Until the body parts start flying up as well. No mortal parts here. You see reptilian skin. Metal skin. Armored arms and chest pieces. Heads. Ears. Fingers.

All manner of dismembered body parts, some recognizable, some you don't wish to identify.

Slowly a single voice begins to drown out the rest.

"Fark off! It's time to play and you don't have what it takes to stop me!"

The sounds of battle increase. The carnage you see before you attempts to overwhelm your senses.

And then with a scream of triumph, blood and bits of demon and devil flesh falling off of him, Bill Z Bubba soars out of the hole, his great wings flapping off the detritus of Hell.

He lands at the edge of the schism, reaches down to the arc of the pentagram's circle and lifts it. Up from the floor he begins to drag it not entirely unlike a cartoon ACME Instant Hole. With each pull he balls up the magical scribblings, the circle, the lines and when the whole mess balled up in his hands, he nonchalantly tosses it over his shoulder where it winks out of existence. The chamber goes silent.

He relights his cigar.

"Hi, guys and gals. What's this I hear about claws on brutes, power customization and my long sought after massive difficulty slider?"


Be well, people of CoH.

Do you happen to play on Virtue? :P

Yes, you'll be very happy to know Power Customization is coming out along with more proliferation.

Welcome back.

Hola. Welcome back! I figured the second that I read Claws for Brutes on the announcements a certain horned figure would reappear.

Welcome back!



This new issue could be the best yet...

I had a feeling that Brute Claws and new difficulty settings would prove a lure too tempting for BillZ to ignore.

i dont know about you guys but i'm already trying to
picture what my claws brute would look like. Thats already more work than all of my scrappers, I usually just randomly put whatever costume that comes up to mind and match the color. But this time I might actually have to do some work...



edit: and i might even play it for concept...

The void you left behind was too great for the Dev's to ignore...

Plus, you know... What the hell else is a IO'd out Scrapper going to do for a challenge?

Folks doing the RWZ challenge with 2 spawns under a Pylon...
Folks soloing AVs with just about every powerset combo you can think of...
Folks getting onto 8-man TF's just to charge ahead of everyone and peeve the Tank (mebbe that's just me)...

Yeah, we needed that slider baaaaaad.

Welcome back.

Well I try to do this, but a Tank/Brute that I team with a lot is always in before me

Maybe that is why I like to play with him, he goes fast and it is hard to beat him into a group. He is one of the best Tanks I have ever play with.

Wish I could, Santorican, but I don't have an ATI card past my X1950XTX, nor do I have vista. I could probably bounce my gaming rig over to my windows 7 rig and install the 1950, but there might be too many differences between the way the driver handles the two cards for it to matter.

Best I can tell you is to stick to the old rules: Get the latest driver, clean off the old before installing the new, kill Bloom, Depth of Field, Desaturation FX, set Water to Low.

Manage FSAA and AF in the CCC and disable in game.

If you've already done all that, talk someone into buying me a 4870, and I'll take a look.


Be well, people of CoH.

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.

Heh. It's good to have you back Bill.

Though the enhanced difficulty slider probably means even less chances I can successfully convince you to team up with me.
