Gah, the Devs are so very good at keeping the carrot on the stick.
March, April, and July... lots and lots to look forward to in the coming months and then long into the future, hopefully.
I17 looks almost as good as I16! Can't wait! 
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

The devs really do try to keep the general player base happy overall (with the understanding that not everybody will be happy still) but there's little doubt in my mind, why this game keeps my subscription and others well...
Lots to look forward to with i17 including the new shinies heh.

Look on the bright side, maybe this will force the Devs to look at Kheldians better.

I would like to make Wentworths like the quiet room in the AE building - you enter it, and *ALL* powers get turned off. It's laggy enough as it is for some people without an idiot spines scrapper quilling the whole time, or getting shielded while you're trying to sell something, etc. |

Are they doing that?
I wonder if there's going to be a new badge for doing the updated Posi TF.

considering that it is being *in my interpritation* split into 2 TFs that you can complete so there would be a new badge..... and if im wrong, they would have a new badge for this person who can match us blow for blow... this 'Dark Mirror' person

I hope Cortex remains... I rather like him as a character...
Even if he is just a psychic zombie...

I'm not sure what you're trying to get across there, but here's my 'interpretation' of what they mean to do to Posi's TF. |

If there's 18 missions, the TF gets split up into 2 sets of 9 missions. You get the Posi's TF badge by completing both halves. As an example, if I can only stay for about 90 min one night, I could get the first half of the Posi TF completed, then the next night when I am on, I can get a brand new team, and finish the second half for the completion. This makes the new player's introduction into Task Forces a little easier and friendly than the original Posi's TF... which I am sure we can all agree was really way too long to be an introduction to task forces in general. It was made a little better with the +5 max level powers rule, but still, at low levels, Posi's Task Force is a really daunting adventure for the new player. This change will be a great thing from the perspective of a new player, especially where they're packaging Going Rogue along with the complete game in a bid to get new players.
Anyhow, that's what I think they're going to do to Positron's Task Force. I have no documentation, or proof to refer you to, but it's just a hope I have.
that would be true river cept they announced that the last fight would actually be at the damn against the new dark mirror person.. so if thats the case it sounds completly re-written...
in that case i would expect a new badge

Not exactly...
I'm looking forward to the MA additions and WW/BM UI changes myself.

Maybe you get the same badge for completing the TF, and a new one added for defeating Dark Mirror? |

They don't necessarily have to change the whole task force just to add one mission at the end...
Wild Guessing in progress:
I'm thinking the enemy which can match one "blow for blow" is either an exact duplicate one's character, or some type of enemy / AV than can emulate the powers of the characters facing them / it.
Quote:
The concept would tie in nicely with the Going Rogue theme we're headed into, plus the tech to make it happen already exists in the game (costume saving, Mission Architect).| MMORPG.COM: Issue 17 will also introduce a "new and nefarious foe" that will be able to match players "blow for blow." Given the Issue's title, I'm guessing it will be your doppelganger, but for now Paragon Studios isn't saying anything more than that. |
Well, I'm even more curious to see it now.

no nemesis system War Witch says "Hey all, Just to clarify before speculation runs toooooo rampant, we're not doing a Nemesis-type system for Issue 17. War Witch " |
But that says nothing of an evil twin / clone type foe.

Should also note his next post where he indicates that mail with attachment goes to global specifically so you can see it on all your characters.
And I was just getting used to turning OFF e-mail on all characters.

I thought that only worked with global friends? Can you global friend yourself?
Quote:
I'd think that that would be a pretty obvious issue and would have been noticed pretty quickly. Though only beta testing the new email will tell. |

Now if they'd just allow us to email SG invites...
