I'm skeptical--quite a few bugs still on test, although I'm not sure which are game bugs and which are simply overload.|

Gotta admit,though--kinda underwhelmed by UM so far. Of course, the water is the bomb, and the shadows are nice,--oh yeah, and reflections are nice--OK, -nevermind.

Bunches of good and evil scattered across all servers--
I don't get it. They have never ever ever ever ever posted a "firm" release date, yet people are STILL asking for it? What part of "beating your head against a wall" don't people understand?

Too many other alts and servers to bother counting

I don't get it. People in this thread are speculating on when the probable release date of issue 17 will be, based on the fact that we have been told it will be in April. Which, honestly, is more than we ever get. |

I don't see anyone screaming about not having it yet or asking for a "firm" release date, just people excited and speculating (as people do). Calm down, take a breath, enjoy the sunshine....if you are someplace that is lucky enough to have it today.
Grats to Chad Gulzow-Man for picking the 28th as the release date for Issue 17!

If you ask me this issue is altogether underwhelming. The last few updates have be really nice but I guess going rogue got all the attention this time around.
Only two hours left! Can't wait!

What the fudge? I can't log in due to internal testing by the NCSoft employees. Huh.

Yep. It's actually almost 4 hours past go time. This makes me a sad panda

I worked my butt off getting to 50 on both red and blue side in order to unlock ATs. Now everyone new to the game gets them at 20, with barely any effort?|

It sucks.
On the other hand though, people are PLing so much these days that most of them were getting ATs unlocked pretty quick anyway.

On the main page it still lists the downtime to end at 9am eastern, which is 4 hours ago. The downtime in your link said 12pm eastern, about 1 hour ago.
Edit: I'm still a sad panda
Edit 2: http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/ser...er_status.html shows the downtime/uptime as I mentioned earlier
Check the date on that, it's from April 7

Patch notes will be available after the downtime.
We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!
check the date
I can't be bothered with looking at little things when I am feverishly waiting to play issue 17.
BTW now 1 1/2 hours past the other go time.
I pushed my whole schedule back to the afternoon, so I could have the morning free to play the new update. Now it looks like I'll be working while everyone else frolics. *sigh*
Dear Devs
Please get the heck off our servers so we can play.
Thank you

I'm not sure what exactly is overwhelming. A complete graphics overhaul, four new story arcs (which introduce a lot of new elements to the game, including branching dialog, contacts with entire different dialog tracks based on your character's sex, moving some major storylines forward, and of course, the doppleganger system, which introduces a whole new set of possibilities to the game), fixing the long needed Positron Taskforce, a new power set for GR preorders, new exploration badges, and a bunch of much needed QoL fixes, including fixing the market, allowing people to give items and influence to their other characters and offline friends, upping the mission count, and adding the ability to find that pesky last "missing objective."|

This is one of the best all-around issues I've seen in the 3 years I've been on CoX

As someone that played out his toons all the way to 50 before ever getting a VEAT or HEAT (without PLing), I completely support the change to the requirements. The less incentive we give new players to PL to 50, the better. How many times do we (the collective community) complain about inexperienced level 50s running around the game? One of the reasons people would PL to 50 was just to unlock Epics. I'd rather they get there because they were having fun and learning how to play their alt.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.
I can't wait....
