I agree, I'm very impressed with what I'm seeing so far. Nova Praetoria is beautiful. The missions and the stories are very well written so far. I'm a happy camper. Wonder if the wife is gonna let me game all evening? I hope so.
I agree, especially with this:

I know I'm not the only one who's wanted different ways of getting missions/arcs and finding clues and whatnot. I don't see the Tips missions purely as a system for other ends. I see it as a new way of obtaining mission arcs... and that me likes very much!|

Count me in. I feel like a kid at Christmas all over again. Been a long time since a game made me feel so satisfied.
GR is amazing - even though I've been testing it, it's still totally awesome to do it again on live.

OK, I'm an old-timer, and like many of you I've seen issues come and go, and some weren't so great. But this one? Without sounding too over the top, I think the Devs hit this one out of the park.

If there is a foul ball here, its that the system is a little hard for people to get started with. I think, to make it a bit more straightforward, you should get your first Tip almost automatically, either from a contact, or from your first enemy defeated. That would get people pointed in the right direction.
But overall, very well done. I wish I didn't have to wait until tomorrow to finish changing to a Rogue.
Ideally, the tank will die precisely as everyone else starts fighting, allowing aggro to be spread evenly among the blaster. -seebs, "How to Suck at CoH/CoV" Guide
