Rularuu pets? Awesome!

Speed boost is group wide now? Awesome. I can't wait to read all of the crying and gnashing of teeth over that one.
Be well, people of CoH.
Anyone know when this goes live?

My question is how big is the endurance hit on it going to be. It is probably going to take half your END bar to us SB now,a lot like the MM pets buffs.

I just wish it was made as an OPTION to use, for times like leagues and such. My hope is that it's not just a global change to the power. Also, how are they balancing the cost when you're just buffing a single player version a whole League?

Whoa. So Much win.
It will be interesting to see if this changes how teams interact. I can't wait to see what kind of content is on the horizon where the devs are pushing us to huddle together.

I had to read it three times to soak it all in.
Colleagues at work want to know why I'm smiling like a dummy.
Huh. THAT is a big list of Lore options.
Not sure how I feel about the buff changes yet. Obviously the end cost and recharge is going to shoot way up just like the Mastermind training powers did.
Hmm...

I wonder if we'll see a small influx of buffing characters now. I know of quite a few people off the top of my head that refused to play old buffing characters or make new ones because of how much they disliked repeating buffs for everyone. I know that definitely changes really the only thing I disliked about my Plant/Kin. But yeah, I also wonder how many people who didn't like certain buffs for whatever reason are gonna be upset.
And I'm really glad we got more options for Lore pets.
[Edit] And hot damn, I don't think I need to explain why those vouchers are awesome.

I have to say, as a Bots/FF, I love the AoE Bubbles!
I do feel for the Speed-Boost-Haters (although I am absolutely not one of them!) and I hope maybe we'll see some way to dismiss a buff to account for such tastes.

Still... it's a compromise, as opposed to having them incarnate only.
I'm not entirely sure if this applies to the new auras as well.
I'm just not the type who drastically changes a character's look after getting them to 50.
Still... some pretty big stuff there. Nice!

Holy smokes this is awesome.
Wait... Carnie pets? Groovy.

TOO MUCH WIN!!!!
Wow, I mean wow, they just invalidated one of Memphis Bill's quote storms.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
I have to add... I'm not too fond of using incarnate trials to unlock a lot of these things...
However, I will wait to see how it plays out in game before thinking negatively on it.
I also still don't get why we're keeping the no capes at level one when we have so many ways to work around that. I'd think it'd be far better to appeal to a new potential player by having regular capes, right there to use at level one when they first log in (without buying any boosters) to make a character.
blah blah blah... done voicing concerns and back to enjoying the game and thinking about the awesome things in that list!

Incarnate Vouchers. A solo feature that you have to team to get. I see what you did there devs. Boo.
Closed Leagues. Bad news for those who depend on the Team Up Teleporter. Making it easier to exclude people is the wrong direction for any MMO. Oh well, there's always Vouchers. Which require an iTrial. D'oh!
Rainbow Trail Aura. Carebears unite!
AOE bubbles/buffs. Mixed feelings about this. The bubbling mini-game is gone, but more time for blasting isn't a bad thing.
Incarnate Armor. Incarnate powers made your build just like everyone else, now the armor makes you look like everyone else, too. All for the low-low price of "OVER 9000!!!" Empyrean Merits. But good news! It's account-wide at least.
The best comics are still 10�!

Really, you already have the option of excluding people. You are forgeting they are giving extra rewards to those that actually use the LFG Turnstile, and Open Leagues. Subtle way to get the playerbase to use content it has decided is subpar.

Subtle? Subtle like a jackhammer. Though I dunno...4 Threads doesn't really seem to offer much encouragement to sit around and do nothing not even know if your league is actually building or not, and the buff seems more to just balance for the fact that PuG leagues don't tend to have the organization (or, in some cases, the numbers) to do as well.

"The new pet choices are Arachnos, Carnival of Shadows, Cimeroran, , Longbow, Nemesis, Phantoms, Polar Lights, Robotic Drones, Rularuu, Rikti, Storm Elementals, and Vanguard."
1.) Rularuu Pets. Beyond Awesome.
2.) Storm Elemental Pets. Awesome.
3.) What was/is supposed to be between Cimeroran and Longbow?
