New info about GR makes you login to play the game even though nothing has changed yet?
Interesting.

I would argue for a larger portion to be given to "content" (story arcs, task forces, etc). But yes, costumes are a huge part of the game, and the introduction of animated costume pieces is a big step.

I'd just like to say that I enjoy seeing features on these lists that haven't been mentioned or hinted at. It's nice to still be surprised about things being added, with all the speculation and people desperate for hints and information about upcoming things. Thank you Devs, for keeping us on our toes.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
Quality of Life Improvements ???
Another Epic Load of WIN!!! 
Love this dev team.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

Ambivalent about the new Posi TF. Hopefully it remains 66 Merits and doesn't get decreased to 40-42, it's still a massive slog even with the new addons (haven't seen them but...).
Great to hear about the Silver Mantis TF and Market engine improvements yay!
Also, did I hear we could now do our own inf transfers? Oooh same server transfers, not a bad start. Wish I could do them across servers though, maybe later?
Good stuff.
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes

Why? Ultra Mode has no effect on new missions, in fact, it's been said that it will hardly affect the look of instanced missions.|

| Would rather have new task forces... could care less about updating old ones. 8 missions is weak IMO, for a content update. When they said content update, I was thinking like 5 or 10 levels of content. |

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).
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.
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.
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.)

The Posi TF revamp is interesting. I'd like to take that as a sign that more of the older blueside content is going to get the redo it needs.
All told it looks pretty good for what I imagine a lot of people were expecting to be a filler issue.

Positron may not herald much. It was absolutely the worst introduction to Task Forces one could imagine. That it took six years to fix is surprising to me. I know the devs like to look forward, but this TF was painful.

That is all you needed to say. Ultra Mode while I did upgrade my entire computer for it, is not going to make what I have already done countless times more fun some how. It just isn't. It will look cool, and then honestly it will look how it is Supposed to look. I am also subscribed to Age of Conan, and their graphics are superior atm. I am hoping UM kinda catches up. I can already look alittle to the left and see shadows and water reflections. |

ZM, Most of this games quality Improvements are stuff other games have had for forever... So, QoL that they may be... They are also nothing new to many people who have wondered why this game constantly is in the dark ages.

Oddly enough I now feel a real craving to do it at least once before the revamp goes live, just to say I have, and see if it's really as horrible as everyone says it is.

Takes 45 minutes on a team set to 3... Just do it on a 50... Its not that sucky as long as you are motivated and skip most of the missions.

Posi's task force was the first I ever did. It took 6 hours. By some miracle, it was a PUG of people that had never met each other and we managed to all stay in the group and enthusiastic the whole time.
It was my first time, and I thought it was meant to be rough. Took me a long time to realize that Task Forces are intended to be 1-2 hours with a tight-knit group of friends.

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? |
OT: My thoughts on i17
I read these features, and I feel that old familiar sensation. I think I want to play this game again.
When the new features come out at least. Not before. Well, maybe a little. Hmmm.

Believe it or not, not everyone has a tight group of friends available for this. If you PUG it it generalyl takes about 2.5hours if you push it.

And getting awesome stuff like this in a regular ol' free issue makes me even more excited to see what's behind the curtain for the GR expansion.

Yes, content was mentioned somewhere. And IIRC correctly, you went "am I the only one that thinks this means all new arcs from 20-50?" And the reply was "yes, you're literally the only one." |

You're disappointed because somehow you got it in your head that i17 would be a massive update. However, other folks with more reasonable expectations are quite excited.

Vill SFs may be less merits but there is something they have that the vast majority of TFs don't. They're fun.

Kinda doubt Lusca will be available. It will most likely be the following:|

Still, that is an impressive roster, methinks.

Very nice pre-expansion content and QoL stuff, even if it isn't zomg teh humungous, it is still very nice.
And having new foes to face is always fun.
