Trust me, you're not the only one. Villains still don't have a Strike Force in the 30-35 nor 40-45 level ranges. But considering that BaBs and Castle left, I was very glad to see them give a good will gesture to the player base, communication wise, even if they couldn't get to all the servers. As you can see from the pics, SexyJay wasn't swarmed. This could be to him not being a very recognized red name (this was in Virtue's Pocket D after all, people may have thought he was a regular player) and/or that it was low key.

Wait... wuh? When did Castle leave? I recall a bit of reaction when news broke about BaBs, but I haven't heard a peep about this.

There should be an alert message when they pop in, like giant monsters, zombies or rikti, so anyone who wants to hang can wander over to that zone.

This is what it means to be a tank!

When I saw that name pop up in /request, I thought it was a normal player that had grabbed the name. He wasn't saying anything that sounded important at the time, so I just moved on to my mission.|

Bah! Proliferation can be complete when they port Illusion Control to Dominators like the one you quoted said. But no, not only that, they'll have to port Dark Assault and Pistol Assault to Dominators as well. The very thought of an Illusion Control/Dark Assault is almost too much to bear. If they ever create a Gadget Control set, then players will finally be able to create a non-elemental/psychic concept for Dominators through Gadget Control/Pistol Assault.

Oh baby. I'd turn ST-oriented for Dark Assault.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
So SexyJay stopped by one of my global channels again this evening. Sadly, I logged in part way through and didn't get everything he said.
As you can tell from the first pic, this was going on from the moment I logged in, oblivious me missed it until I finished my first mission.
TL; DR version -
Lots of 'hints' that could mean a million and one things or be utter falesy.
So, best to just wait for official announcements to save a boat load of dissapointment.
*le sigh*

ok so we learned that paragon has really lax drug testing standards.
well there could(but by no means is) have been hints of animalistic shapeshifitng, a beach bulkhead mission/area/event seemingly involving the resistance and the dev earth, a martial arts themed blaster secondary, a fight with praetorian hami. you could read anything into them, jay loves making vague hints, but then again, they really CANT say more than ncsoft lets them, so the vague stuff is as much as we can hope for realistically.
SexyJay is my new favorite Dev.

I was so enamored with the idea of a Pistol Assault set for Dominators, the thought of a Pistol/MA blaster hadn't even occurred. But I suppose it's a good substitute, specially if there isn't a Gadget Control to complement the Pistol Assault. With War Witch's latest interview, it does seem a furry booster is coming. I personally wouldn't really benefit much from it, as I've only got one and that's a Werewolf caster. Depending on how good it is, I might actually create more animal characters.

This is how new costume parts work for me. I rarely have existing characters who can use new things like "wolf tail," but I can definitely create some.

Always good to see them pop into the game at random i say
Even here in the EU i've seen the community reps pop by just out of the blue and stay around for a bit [Mod08 telling everybody he wished he could "heal kill" me . . . . . . grrrr 
]
I like random visits!
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

It truly is, I imagine SexyJay stopped by the D like he did in New Year's. So far, it seems that they do plan on communicating more than they did last year like War Witch stated in her interview. And awesome that the Europeans also get surprise visits.

Awwww, and I had even been thinking of dropping by Wondie's show once I got back from my friend's party. *shrugs* You win some, you lose some.
