Honestly, on the list of Dual Pistols, Demon Summoning, and GR in general, Demon Summoning is at the bottom of my list.

Sorry to disagree with you, but DP applies to multiple ATs while DS only applies to one, and GR applies to the entire game. You know what they say about the needs of the many...

Very eager to get into DS. But I wouldn't say it's the only thing I care about.

I really hope DS will have something special. Not just another set with replaceable pets, but something only DS has. Something like the leadership skills in Thugs.

I hope it isn't as OP as thugs or bots. I don't want to be laughed at even further for having Ninja and Mercs MMs.

Maybe a dev will give this thread a look see and show us a goodie screenshot ............what?? I can dream cant I?

This is only a guess about the testing for Demon Summoning, but if they follow the same track that they did for Dual Pistols (which the devs said they really liked the focused testing). I would guess that beta testing for Demon Summoning will start either next week (unlikely) or the first week of March.

Considering that Going Rogue goes up for presale in early March ( http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=210328 ) at which time Dual Pistols will be available on the Live Servers. So if they schedule the same time frame for Demon Summoning testing (one month) and Demon Summoning is planned for release in April on the Live Servers then March will be the test month.

Just a humble guess from me and for some reason it sounds to me like I rambled on way way too much... I think I need more coffee >_<

I'm gonna have to agree with this. I don't really like any of the Mastermind Secondary Powersets, so I'm not drooling to have it nao. However, I am interested in seeing it.

Heck, I might end up surprised by it, like I was with Willpower, which I thought would be a LOL set, and turned out to kick my ***, or like I was with Dual Pistols, which I thought would be great on a Blaster, OK on a Corruptor, and LOL on a Defender, but turned out to kick my *** on all three Archetypes.

So, while I'm not squirming in anticipation of trying it out, I do look forward to having the chance.

Pretty sure that was an example, not "demons need leadership."

Maybe they'll use Intimidate and Invoke Panic while screaming SWALLOW YOUR SOUL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!

Or maybe the Boss is the Cyberdemon. The only way to beat it is to shoot at it until it dies.

Yes, it was an example. I tried to make it obvious by writing "something like leadership", sorry, if it was kind of confusing.

What I really would like to see is individual upgrades for pets. like you have three bots, you can upgrade Bot 1 with a machine gun, so he will make rapid damage, not to much, but okay damage from a distance. Bot 2 will be upgraded with cyber claws and rushes of the fight in melee. Bot 3 gets a rocket launcher, he can only shot every 20seconds, but will make much more damage than Bot 1`s machine gun.

For me Pistols has absolutely no draw at all. I refuse to refer to it as DP..... maybe I have a sick mind. I also hate the empty clips animation. Sorry devs whoever designed it its just not for me though many of the other animations are excellent. The flashy animations do come off a bit silly to me at times but they help justify the animation times and recharges. Only reason I even made it was I wasnt able to make a Demon Summoner heh or check out any going rogue stuff.

Demon Summoning intriques me. Ive wanted a new MM set for a very long time. The flaming whip, while interesting just sounds too much like a dominatrix thing. I have the odd quirk of only being able to play characters that match my gender. Male in case you didnt figure that out. Ill just have to wait and see what the animations look like though its not a big deal for me, alot of my mms do not bother with the attacks.

I do have a nagging fear that its going to be a very fire orientated set. I was hoping for something with a good mix of damage types Fire Cold Sonic, and yes I mean all of the above.

Im expecting fire melee pets for Tier 1, fire ranged with thermal ablites for tier 2 and the tier 3 pet Im expecting somewhat of a dominator type firey assault. I hope im wrong.

Regardless it should be something new and exciting and I will be rolling one.

So basically, it'd be just like every other pet in the game?

EDIT: Removed photo link of Cyberdemon "Shoot Cyberdemon until he dies from it!" or something like it comment.

Sadly, there are protip magazines and hint guides selling for $14.99 to $19.99 for games where you basically move left to right and hit the A button.

I've never picked up a NASCAR racing guide, but I'm sure it's 100 glossy pages of "Turn Left."


Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

Hi everyone!

While we all wait for Demon Summoning power set, I just want to stir some topics about Demon Summoning to keep the excitement and interest... Although this is not an official information please settle down and reduce the flame wars.

I will start by quoting some passages from Desdemona's background information.

Quote:
Eve's mother, Amelia, was a powerful sorceress who had the ability to summon and control demons. Unbeknownst to her family, she also happened to be a super-powered villain, who called herself Desdemona. One night Brandon spied Amelia summoning a demon and flying off on its back to a heist.
This could mean a lot, but summoning a demon and ride on its back is awesome! Is it possible that we can now have a ride, an alternative to travel power?! It could also mean that this MM power set will be very unique as to how we control these pets. PAUSE! relax, inhale exhale... ok now read the next one.


Quote:
He followed her in his car and came upon her as she was battling Statesman over the streets of Paragon City. Brandon confronted Amelia and broke her concentration, causing her to lose control of the demon she was controlling. It grabbed her and in the ensuing struggle, flew headlong into the rotors of a nearby news helicopter. As the demon fled into the darkness, Statesman made a valiant attempt to save his opponent to no avail. As flaming pieces of wreckage fell around him, Brandon swore his daughter would not grow up to be like her mother.
Poor Amelia... Like I said before this MM power set "might" be very different from other power sets from the nature of these demons. Besides our "Defense Mode" or BG mode, Follow, Stay, Go to, and Attack, it is possible that there is some special button to tame/control these beast... without it, it will consume us! Is it possible they have the chance to damage us with poor control? Or it could also mean we need to lvl up fast and get the upgrade... This could also mean "upgrades" would not be similar to what we got used to.

I also think that these demons will have lots of PBAOE, melee and control. Good for tanking, farming and herding! PAUSE! Breathe!

Well that is all for now... please take note that I am just thinking out loud. Do not penalize me from my lack of imagination... Maybe it's your turn to imagine! Actually it's Sunday here and I woke up early waiting to go to work... in 6 hours.........

I'm thinking that there's going to be something unique and tasty to demons too. With the more recent powersets, they've liked to include some flair. Dual Blades have their combos, and Dual Pistols have their ammo types. I wouldn't be suprised if the Demons' unwilling servitude is shown mechanically. I mean, Desdemona had to tattoo a circle around her neck just to protect herself from the demons she commanded. Perhaps they will turn on us under certain circumstances. Perhaps we have to bind them. Perhaps they are more powerful than other pets, but we have to protect ourselves and our teammates with our unique personal power (Serum/Soul Extraction/Smoke Flash/Repair/Gang War).

Regardless of how they work, when it was announced I wasn't that fussed about demon summoning. But now that we're closer to testing both it and issue seventeen, I find myself getting excited at the idea of them both.

Umm, no that would be bad.
Did you ever play WoW...a warlock maybe? Trust me, getting flattened by your own Infernal is no fun.

As for diversity from other MM sets, I guess it will be more melee oriented as the whip shouldn´t have too much of a range. that would be ridiculous.
And as sure as hell I´m going to roll a DS-MM, I still can´t wait to see the whip turned into a scrapper, tank or brute set.

Interesting....

We have already seen DP, so we can cross that off the list.

We already know when GR is coming. That is set,
So we can cross that off your list.



So what does that leave then? . . .

Oh yeah! Demon Summoning . . Yes you are right... Let's see that!
It seems you aren't disagreeing after all.
