Of course, it could just be manga-bias, yeah, since I still see Eastern "superheroes" as being pretty super, and such. But there are plenty of staves there, too, yet "Titan Weapons" do feel more at home in the general mythos to me, for whatever reason. |

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.

So it would appear. There were some parts where I was getting some stuttering of my stream, so if they sort of just mentioned it instead of going on about it I could easily have missed it.|

I saw that image but have no context towards what I'm looking at, what is it intended to be? Loading screen? New costume creator interface?

I remember when Black Scorpion was just a member of a small strike team, and now he's the Lead for the Live and End Game strike team.
They grow up so fast. *sniff*
Of course, this should be the T-Shirt for the LEG team:

I hope there is a Time Control set in the works as well.

Can we at least maybe have the Signature arcs cater to that apparently tiny minority that actually spends some time between level 30 and 50 doing something other than back-to-back ITFs?

Also I'm admittedly not as 'up' on comic books as I was ages back, but I really seem to recall more characters who fought with a staff than ones who fought with giant swords. |
Depending on how its animated, I could still see staves working. But it's honestly a bit disappointing to see another sword-based weapon set. I thought we had pretty much nailed those down by now.

It's not going to be sword-based, they specifically said that. There are sword models, but there'll be all sorts of blunt instruments and other stuff too.|

Basically, if you can hit someone with it, this is it.

-It has one power that enhances the buffs/debuffs applied by other powers. Not sure if it's ally, enemy, both, or what.
One was an enemy debuff (slow and acc I think they mentioned) and when you cast any of your other debuffs on an enemy with that power on them they were more effective.
One was an ally buff that enhanced all the set's other powers on that ally.
Oh and also they mentioned that character slots (and I think transfers) would be purchaseable through the paragon rewards program (so no real money fee).
