The new Posi TF is excellent news. I hope they slowly update all the TFs, SFs. Even some of the SFs are years old. Anyway, the features list looks like pure win. |
Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.
Wonder what the new enemy is . . . . . .
And released in april? 
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Yeah, I was impressed by the "date" given to this update. Is this the first time we've ever gotten one? I mean, outside of CoV and GR?

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I'm guessing we'll be able to email items too, because the disclaimer about not going from hero to villain specifically mentions non-inf items. If we could only email inf, that'd be a strange way to state it.

Okay so I'll go through the bullet points here (from my point of view obviously):
Quote:
Ultra Mode: Obviously very nice but again, old PC so....can't wait to get a new PC though! |
Ultra Mode Ultra Mode includes a superior graphics rendering process for players who have higher-end graphic cards. Each feature can be enabled or disabled in the graphics menu options and will be scalable. Ultra Mode works on both Macs and PCs. In specific, it offers dynamic shadows, screen-space ambient occlusion, and dynamic environment reflections (including planar reflections and environment mapping of reflective surfaces). Epic Archetypes Unlocked at Level 20 Previously, you had to have at least one character at level 50 to make an epic archetype character. No more! Now you can create an epic archetype character as long as you have any one character at level 20 or higher. Animated Tails No more tails lying about like dead weight! You will now be able to select tail body parts that will react to your movement and have a swaying or swishing idle animation mode. You will need to go to a tailor to upgrade to the animated version. |
Epic ATs unlocked earlier: nice (doesn't really affect me)
Animated tails: Doesn't really affect me but glad they're in there (maybe I'll make a toon with a tail now though...)

Content New Story Arcs: Issue 17: Dark Mirror features two new Hero and two new Villain story arcs for levels 20-30. Each of these story arcs has four missions, and the story arcs highlight the Dark Mirror's sinister new enemy. Acquire first Hero story arc in Talos Island, and the first Villain arc in Sharkhead Isle. |
Quote:
|
Silver Mantis Strike Force Update: The Silver Mantis Strike Force will now be available to all Villains, not just supergroups. You now can access the Silver Mantis Strike Force via Silver Mantis, located in Sharkhead Isle. You can also run this Task Force from your supergroup computer. Positron Task Force Update: This Task Force has been split into two halves and dramatically upgraded and updated to ramp up the fun. The final battle of the Task Force takes place in the Faultline Dam and incorporates the new Dark Mirror enemy. |
Quote:
|
New Badges: Along with adding badges for 500 Badges Earned, 750 Badges Earned, and 1,000 Badges Earned, we are adding new exploration badges to city zones, almost doubling the number of exploration badges. You can learn new Accolades for finding all of the exploration badges in each city zone. New Player Emotes: We'll let you know more about the new emotes soon. |
And always nice to have more emotes.
Quote:
|
Quality of Life Improvements Craftable Temporary Powers: You will now have a much cleaner and more consistent way of finding and crafting temporary powers. Increased Mission Count: You can now have seven active missions (previously three). |
And having more than three missions is nice...nothing huge but it's nice.Quote:
| Show Last Objective: This UI improvement lets you find your last objective on a mission map, making it easier to find something you've missed. |
Quote:
| Auction House: The UI gives you new options for sorting search results, your Auction House inventory is now separated by clearly marked tabs based on the item's status, the Auction House text entry box now autocompletes, and a single click on a recipe displays all salvage needed for that recipe. |
Quote:
| In-Game E-mail: You can now use in-game e-mails to send Influence/Infamy to your own characters or to other players' characters via in-game e-mails. (You still cannot send Influence, Infamy, or items from a Hero to a Villain or vice versa.) |
Quote:
|
Mission Architect Improvements Experience: You can now handpick the powers for custom enemies and still receive experience for them (within game balance limits). New Maps: We have added approximately 20 new unique maps. Giant Monsters: You can now add giant monsters to some outdoor maps. Exit Mission on Complete: You can now specify that players have to leave the mission manually on completion. Escort Missions: "Lead to place" technology allows you more control over escort objectives. |
Can't wait to test it out!

ALL the Blueside TFs are pretty horrible, frankly. A plethora of Hunt missions and Kill alls, while hauling you ALL over the City. Not cool. Re-vamps = God send. Or in this case = Witch send |

Both are welcome.Quote:

Is it weird that I'm most excited about the Posi revamp and extra mission slots?
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

So, I'm guessing that the Dark Mirror enemy is your Praetorian self that will have your powersets and maybe even copy your character costume.
Zombie Man's not worried, he's defeated Nosferatu, so, he can defeat 'himself.'

Tad 'meh' about the 'tails' thing, woulda been happier with backpacks, but all in all, I'm a happy camper and look forward to i17!
Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.
I hope this also means Epics will be colorable as well.
"Samual_Tow - Be disappointed all you want, people. You just don't appreciate the miracles that are taking place here."
All this looks pretty good. This looks like one of those long-awaited "quality of life" issues that everyone talks about periodically.
The most interesting, though not necessarily surprising, thing to me is that the new enemies appear to be levels 20-30. This is fine with me, although it's getting hard to do everything I want to do on a character in the 20's, which makes me vary my leveling route with each one, while my upper-30's and low-40's characters end up repeating the same stuff each time through. The devs seem to like making content for that level range. I wonder if there are a lot of characters in that range, and that's why?
