The CoH LJ community has almost 1000 people watching it, so I'd wager it's one of the largest unofficial CoH communities out there. We span all English language servers, and it's rare for an evening to pass without some LJ-spawned group having an official play session.



...I forgot what experience means.

This allow people who want to only league with their friends to do so, and those that just want to hop on a league will join any league that is open. win-win as far as I'm concerned.
Should have read some of the threads about LFG and booting extras then. Some people (though few) were up at arms over how people are going to get excluded if private leagues were ever implemented. That and how LFG is working as intended and league leaders shouldn't be able boot extras, etc etc. It was all quite amusing.

As opposed to lazy buffers just buffing the tank and completely ignoring anyone else anyway?

New Lore pets = Heck yes

New Trial = Eh, will likely get as sick of it as BAF and Lambda, but at least it will break up the grind very slightly

New auras and costumes pieces = VERY nice

Armour locked behind level 50 = sorry...WHAT are they smoking? Wow. Just wow. I thought that lesson got learned from Kheldians and Spiders. Obviously not.

AoE Buffs = Oh. Yay. That guarentees I'll never play any other defenders then. I HATE the AoE Buffs on my MM thanks to it bollocking my End bar utterly. Kiss your blue goodbye, folks.

Incarnate armor only available to Incarnates? Where's the problem with that?

Been playing this game for something like 5ish years, never heard of this CoH sub-community. Consider my mind blown.

How are you enjoying your new Russian overlords?

I'm happy for most of the new stuff =D . Good an sorta 'free' stuff.

I do worry about those persons who don't want a particular buff, i've got a couple friends like that, as they have computer issues when they receive certain buffs.I suppose in the short term macros will be a buffers friend, to advise the team of what's goin on, though I still would hope there's a menu option to disable an aoe buff...I can dream =p


Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.

None, but is strange as they just lowered the requirement for getting a kheld from 50 to 20.

Wow, talk about making mountains out of specks of dirt.

Hm. I'm happy about the new emotes and cosmetic stuff, but more raids isn't what i want. Nice they're showing the hardcore players some loving, though. Hopefully Issue 21 will give me something too.

Eco.


MArcs:

The Echo, Arc ID 1688 (5mish, easy, drama)
The Audition, Arc ID 221240 (6 mish, complex mech, comedy)
Storming Citadel, Arc ID 379488 (lowbie, 1mish, 10-min timed)

Wow. And they didn't take the chance to give MMs the same treatment for their stupidly over end-priced pet buffs?

Gee. Thanks. Wonderful stuff. Not like it's our damn primary or anything...

Because, get this, costumes and looks for a character matter to some people, Miss 'I only have one toon and I'm so special LOL smiley face'.

Having to wait till level 35 was bad enough for any char wanting to use Roman parts (and previously Vanguard)

Waiting till 50? Sorry, calling bollocks on that one.

New Trial looks nice, looks a bit busy in action, but will see how it pans out.

I really want the LFG tool to be used more often, truly do, but they need to make it so you can keep doing missions while in the queue, or else it's just not that worthwhile.

Do the nemesis pets come with a pony?

Also, redname has said no increase in end cost for AoE buffs. (In case people skip over the post a couple earlier with the link to Zwillinger's post)

But this is Incarnate armor - you wouldn't be able to use it unless you were an Incarnate

Well Khelds and Soldiers of Arachnos are archtypes that are playable with their own set of powers. Were as the Incarnate armor are just costume pieces, they do not buff, debuff, or provide additional powers to a player's character. Incarnate armor only affects how a character looks. Also players are only able to unlock Incarnate powers when they hit lvl 50. So I'm taking a wild guess and say that's probably the reason why the devs chose to make the Incarnate armor availiable to only lvl 50 characters.
