We will - it might be a nice feature to put out when DCUO starts to ramp up their launch hype

Yeah, it's defined in-game on the live servers.

And if you pay $399 for it, you've been overcharged just a bit. >.>
Fixed that, thanks Bill for pointing out that I may be overcharged if I am not careful.

I do want the box, so I will most likely go with the local Game stop.

Going by their design choices so far, there's no way they'd release a nemesis system unless it could be better than the CO one in some way
I hope it's not some lame story about how your hero turned villain or vice versa is actually your Praetorian "doppleganger", and not the original, some may like that, but I don't thnk I would. My controller really is gonna be a villain, not a copy from bizarro world lol.

My favorite issue name, both because of the "Evil rival" thing...

... and because Ultra Mode features shadows and reflections. Dark Mirror works as a dramatic name as well as a cheesy pun. Fantastic.

The whole Issue sounds nipple-poppingly exciting

Of course it's not a Nemesis system. Lord Nemesis is too busy planning for "Issue 18: The one that is a Nemesis plot".

Hiding from patrols?

Agreed, I really do not see any benefit to this in PvE since NPCs don't really move around that much. I guess time will tell but at first glance it doesn't sound very useful.

Well chances are if you're dodging patrols you're attempting to stealth the mission anyway and being able to dodge one patrol every 10 minutes isn't much use for that.

If it's as usfull in PvP as it is in PvE, you can use it on a ranged character to hide from and ambush someone. That's about the only practical use for it I can think of.

I don't get the epics unlocked at L20 thing. The whole thing with unlocking them at 50 is that you achieve something and get something, L20 is nothing. Why even have to unlock them when it will take nothing to manage? You don't even need to perform a specific task, just playing a character for a few days will manage it. Any level of achievement for unlocking them is lost.

Because some people hated having to wait until Level 50.

I also want the box and the preorder, so I'll go in my local corner to cry softly to myself for being a dang dirty foreigner...

By the way, I wonder if any of the existing lore might have something to do with these new enemies?
Like Black Swan and Shadow Earth, or Uuralur the Mirror and the Shadow Shard Reflections?

Try "Flambumctiousnaly" or "Astoundurgulously" or "Bellafisatiously". Those work for my. Just don't pronounce them with a mouth full unless you want to spray others with whatever foul concoction you ingest.

New Missions

Maybe this will get some posters who I shall not name (go ahead and negative rep me....I have it disabled anyway so LOL @ you) to finally hush about not getting any new content.

Haven't seen it yet, so I must ask.....where are the complaint posts?

Because they were made to unlock at 50 while Jack was still in charge. Ever since, the sensible Devs have labelled it a mistake.

This also makes it much, MUCH easier for more Unlockable ATs, because people won't be b****ing about them "Waaah, it doesn't unlock at 50, people are getting it easier than us now!"

I spent 15 months getting my first 50. I also brought CoH AND CoV. All I can say is; cry me a river.
