Detonator? It works fine. I should know, I was making Longbow eat hot lead and exploding robot with it last night. Works fine for me.

I'd personally hope any upcoming new content would include an upgrade/overhaul of Boomtown with 5th Column posing a threat on the scale of the Rikti to where it's considered a Co-Op zone spanning the 20-35 range.
Introduce a slew of new content & stories pertaining to the events transpiring there and canon for future content (vigilante/rogue).
I know it's been said that Heroes & Vilains still won't be able to access the opposing faction's zones, but I'm still voting against that. You have level 1 Hellions running around in Atlas Park, yet a level 50 villain player can't seem to get there? I'm sorry but the only one problem I ever see to allowing this to happen is griefing of those who "Street Sweep" and we all know that's highly irrelevant.
I can't help but think of the possibilities opened by allowing factions to enter the opposing zones with story arcs & task forces/strike forces. Villains get to Paragon via Black Helicopter Line Cap->Faultline (back area) and Heroes get to Rogue Isles via Longbow (rooftop) Kings->Nerva.
Bleh, I'm envisioning too much...

More Co-op? No thanks. What we have atm is more than enough.|

Villains that becomes Rogues can go to Paragon. Heroes that become Vigilantes can go to the Rogue Isles. Thats fact.
If you mean 'go to Atlas' in a PvP sense; No. Just no. There is absolutely no good logic behind this, IC or OOC. IC, it takes a planned bank-job to get into the city, and there is a heavy PPD/Longbow response. More Villains?> Miss Lib would simply get off her pedestal at lvl 53 and kick the daylights out of people. And then the rest of the Phalanx could show up.
No. Just no.

I predict a lot of outrage, burst bubbles, and pointless ranting. Oh, and, I suppose, Ultra Mode and a couple of arcs or Task Forces or something.

You're right, a complete graphics overhaul and entirely new content doesn't take any work and won't constitute any change to the game. |

Wait. No, no you'd be wrong.

What I meant to imply was that a complete graphics overhaul and something-to-do-with-content were a fair amount of work and that people were being silly for expecting more.

Not to mention any new enemies, allies, and special/temp powers that need to be balanced, any TFs with unique mechanics, etc. They don't only do player powers, you know. |

I'm not going to begin to speculate what this next update will bring. I'm guessing it will be smaller than most will hope (mini-issue), but we shall see. I do hope to be proven wrong, though!
What does strike me as somewhat odd, however, is that Avatea, Nivine, and Ocho held Rikti invasions, but not on all servers. I don't know if that's because it wasn't a hit, they were too busy, it's planned to be propogated to all servers at a later date, or what. (Not as a complaint - but it probably would've happened while I'm still at work anyways, so I don't feel like I was left out.)
