Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
Looks like I picked a good day to visit. Woot.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Awww, so jealous... Longbow get to summon the Cataphract (Heavy from RV). http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Freedom_Corps_Cataphract
Pretty awesome.
Also, I think people will be happy with the "generic" pets. Polar Lights and Robotic Drones are just the Wisp and Drone 48 month vet reward pets... but on crack. One other thing, they don't seem to have that ghostly visual effect that current Lore pets have.
Something else that seems pretty awesome.... the support pet on Storm Elementals has Hurricane at -30 tohit... pretty impressive.
Looks like I'll be putting in a lot of time collecting more Lore pets.

Although I feel slightly hosed for spending time/salvage collecting the current Lore pets (Looking at you Diviner!), I'm also excited that the new ones appear to be much better than the originals.
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

This is kinda my beef, and why I'm generally indifferent to whatever turn up. Already wasted so much time grinding the originals, that I'm not going to take any of my current Incarnates back through the raids, and I've no interest whatsoever in starting a new one.|

I do think it's interesting they're including Heavies, though. Weren't they originally going to have War Walkers, but replaced them with Vicky because they were too big? Have they fixed that problem, or are these just miniature equivalents?
I'm curious as to what the Polar Lights do. They may fit with my Ice/Ice (baby :P) blaster more than the other Lore pets.
But still I fear and still I dare not laugh at the madman!

Procrastination meter coming soon.
Ended up crafting the Storm Elementals.. They sure are impressive looking/sounding. Definitely something for Storm characters to look forward to.

Yay, Overseers! Not quite fitting to my concept, but rule of cool does apply.
Now can we ditch that stupid "pulling the essence of a defeated enemy out of the Well" crap?

I ditched it the moment they said it. Just like the origin of power nonsense.

Gah..gotta start saving up salvages to try the new pets. Now I don't want to keep my Clockwork!
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Every time i see "origin of power" in a CoH context i have momentary urge to bang my forehead against the nearest solid surface. i usually defuse it with a facepalm.|

i find the Lore pets explanation/canon significantly less offensive.
Still, i will ignore the Lore description when it runs counter to my character's concept for a power. i have a Grav/Storm that i've wanted to have Storm Elemental pets for years as part of the concept of a technology based on manipulating high energy fields and spacetime itself.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

Why do people dislike the Origin of Power storyarcs? The most annoying part I can see is the origin of mutants, but that cannot be the only reason why people seem to be so against it.

Just an FYI to those who are interested. Just popped in to the beta server and the entire list of Lore pets is now in the Incarnate window.
