Hi guys - just saw Cricket has posted this on US boards.

Here is something all you base designers may want to keep in mind:

The Cathedral of Pain is expected to be released prior to Issue 8, and it will be a little different than originally planned. It will be PvE oriented and the trial will remain active for 7 days. During this time you can earn one or more Items of Power for your Supergroup base. Then it will be off for 21 days, after which you will lose the Items of Power and this cycle repeats. Previously, it was scheduled to run only every 5 days, with 25 days off. Scheduled Base Raids are currently non-functional, but we wanted you to at least participate in the Cathedral of Pain and Item of Power portions while we address the Raid functionality internally.

Have a question (B if you see this could you inquire for us pls?) which is - given this setup will mean we can all load up on IoPs without worrying about raids then leading to the trashing of our lovely bases... What will happen when you guys fix the raid setup? Will we suddenly be at risk or will we be able to surrender our IoPs? I guess the cycle will take care of it actually so long as the timing of the release is good Anyway - sounds like we get a nice little bit of "new" content to tide us over till I8 (coming soooooooon )

It was origionally supposed to come before i7...(actually, it should have been active when CoV launched really)

Devs.. In the meantime.. Mind adding SOME functionality to the mission computer in ADDITION to IoP trial?

Because I was optimistic at the time, mission computer was one of the first items built for our base.. its been collecting dust and eating energy/control for ... 9-10 months? Shows what you get for being optimistic in this game.

Hey I actually got an idea.. if you are adding sort of newspaper missions to heroes, you could make mission computer as a contact. oh well who am I kidding..

Or they could just give you an SG TF like we get on CoV in the form of the silver mantis SF.

Gotta agree with Hammerfall, was desperately looking forward to the SG mission computer, (a means of tightening the unity of some SGs, perhaps?) but our collected dust... we sold it!

More please! More! <cue Oliver!-esque one-liners>

The Sisterhood did this TF on the weekend before the double-xp weekend.. It was the most perfect bit of teamwork known with those not actually in the TF still participating by filling up the inspiration storage in the SG base with much-needed catch a breaths, etc..

4.5 hours to do all the missions and kill the boss. The last mission was sooo tough but we had such a great feeling of Sister-Love afterwards!!

Would be great to see more of these missions...

Cool, so the SG computer is finally going to be used for something other than solitaire!!!!
