EDIT: Nope, the level cap was increaded with Issue 1.

1) Issue 1.
2) I don't remember that but they did have resist Mez ones back then Vs today's break and resist Mez ones. They were pinkish and resembled, to me at least, a head wearing headphones. Edit: That's right, orange resist damage are newer, not sure when they added it (Issue 5 or 6?).

1. Level 40 for heroes at launch. 50 was added in Issue 1. Level 40 for villains at CoV's launch and level 50 was added for them in Issue 7.

Thanks Dech. Funny thing is, I have been "back" for quite some time. I just didn't know the answer to the questions!

I want to say that the orange inspirations were in I5, as kind of a way to placate people who had just been hit with the global defense nerf (GDN). But I may be mistaken on that.
Edit -> And can I also say, that upon seeing the thread title, I jumped a bit for joy, and thought to myself, "Oh, I'll know this!" Not only did I admit to myself that I'm old, but I actually enjoyed it.
Sigh.

Yes. The Break Free/Emerge/Escape inspirations replaced the Discipline/Iron Will/Resolve/Determination/Sheer Willpower inspirations. Iron Will can still be obtained in Siren's Call.|

It's a weird feeling thinking about how much you predate common game features.

VEATs seem old now and they aren't 3 years old yet.
All that really seems new to me are the additions in the last year.

I started this thread, but still have my 72 months badge, not I am not so new.
The market does feel like it has been around forever. I remember when the building itself popped up before we really knew what it was. Now I can't imagine CoX life without it. I remember the awesome reward for TFs was an SO. Now I am not so thrilled when an SO drops unless I am in my 20s or below.

I can remember ranting, "THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE JSUT LIEK WOW!!!!" and how wrong I ended up being.
This has no actual bearing on my most recent complaints and opposition to new game mechanics, wherein my response has been, "THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE JSUT LIEK WOW!!!!"

Archery? New!
Sonic? New!
Thugs? New!

Oh, look, that's the same patch that reduced Believer from 10 defeats of Sally, who was still on a once in a blue moon spawn timer, to 2. I was just talking about that to someone while we were gathering for a Katie TF last week.

It's funny, I tried City of Heroes way back at release and was underwhelmed enough to not even play out the first month.
Now 3 years ago I tried it again and so much was different, I can't imagine what it was like for the folks who played the whole time as some of these changes took place. Heck, even in the 3 years that I have been actively playing, a lot of things have changed or been added.
Wonder how things will look in another 3 years, because City of has the same feel to me as Asheron's Call and Anarchy Online, games that filled a different niche or went their own way in doing so, and are both still live after 10+ years.

Yeah, there are also now the Present Inspirations, from the Holiday Event, and the special Inspirations to help take down Hamidon.
I seem to remember some new Inspirations were introduced... oh, wait, that was in a Beta, probably shouldn't mention that. But, um, there might be some associated with the new Incarnate content. Just guesswork, not based on anything I've actually seen.

I find your lack of signature disturbing.

Pretty sure they were added because sonic was introduced, and people were suddenly fighting mobs with -resist powers.

Wiki copy of the notes. Oh, look, that's the same patch that reduced Believer from 10 defeats of Sally, who was still on a once in a blue moon spawn timer, to 2. I was just talking about that to someone while we were gathering for a Katie TF last week. |

No, the context of that earlier statement was that, even though City pre-dated WoW, it was going to developmentally trend towards WoW because that's what everyone held as the ideal for MMOs.
To be sure, there are "staples" of MMOs, but City has always done a good job (IMO) of turning the trope on its head and doing it in its own unique way. I have a...pessimistic view of the new raids, but we shall see.

I started in i3 and left for a few months right around CoV went live (not sure of the specific issues I missed).
I just have a two questions that I have been wondering about:
1) I hear the game only went to level 40 when it started. I think my first 50 was i4 or i5, so can someone tell me when lvl 50 was added?
2) Sorry if this sounds ridiculous, but I remember coming back from my break and it seemed like there was a new type of inspiration. I don't remember the "resist damage" inspirations when I was first playing. I only remember the "defense" ones. Am I crazy? I know I could be totally wrong about this, so I thought I would just ask.
