Looks like there is a compass waypoint, so it's most likely an instanced mission...

There's also no counter indicating the number of Hellions still to be killed. It's not a streetsweep, unless they've radically altered how those work.

Why even mention that they can't be unlocked through in-game missions? It would be a non-issue. The other three would continue to be unlocked via missions from the tailor, and the last one would be available through use of Halloween salvage.

I'm wondering if this is a typo and the "not" was supposed to be a "now".
Currently at least, there's a glitch in the tailor missions that allow you to do the costume missions on both sides if you're a Rogue or Vigilante. So hypothetically, if they didnt' make it impossible, you could do 3 tailor missions on hero side, 3 on villain side. That'd be 7 costumes right there. And yes, I did report the glitch, but so far as I can tell, it hasn't been fixed.

Account-wide isn't really that useful to me, but whatever. Five more costume slots! Yes please!



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

I honestly hope there are a bunch of new temp powers. Cause I like having bizarre temp powers.

As far as I can tell that was fixed before Issue 18 was launched. At least you can't earn more than 3 costume slots via tailor missions, 1 via the Halloween salvage, +1 for the VEAT mission.

The Paragon Rewards Details webpage stated that we'd get one reward token for each 1200 Paragon Points we purchase through the market.

Currently the in-game market doesn't list that extra value in the "add points" page. It just states how much points we can get for certain amounts of money, with no mention of any reward tokens included with the purchase.

Just to make sure:
1. I assume that we do get the tokens even though that's not spelled out in the market page?
2. Does it matter whether we buy the points in-game or on the PlayNC account webpage?
3. Also, if I buy, say, 400 points three times, will I get a token?

I don't know about 400 points 3 times. I do know that buying the 8k points gets you 9600 points and 8 tokens.

... The irony being that I did this in part so that I could get costume parts and such for DOCTOR FREEMIUM, the thugs/ mastermind I'm running on Exalted.

One thing I found annoying. With the costume pack compilations (vanguard/barbarian/etc) while I could find a decription of the pack itself, I could find no description of which items were in it, until after I'd bought it. Perhaps this is missing from the item descriptions?

You can find out in part by browsing the costume creator.

uhhh, you mean like it is already? the leader of the team can set missions from -1 to +4 and in TFs he can set other switches like no enhancements
