Wonder if the Abomination will sound anything like this.
Badge Earned: Wing Clipper
A real showstopper!
I totally missed that this was a picture of the end game model and the concept art, I thought there was more then one Abomination.

Quote:
The question is, is it for that particular arc? Lets go into the future and the Who Will Die storyline has ended. Can we run the 7 arcs during a week to get 7 rewards, or it's only one reward table per week, no matter which signature arc you run?

Note that the award choice is only offered once per week per character; you can't run it and choose merits, then run it and choose an astral, then run it and choose threads. You run it and choose, then any other times you run it, you don't get the award choice window. |

One final thing to mention: the devs were showing much love for for Paragonwiki and TonyV at Saturday's panel. Someone asked about updating the in-game help files and Posi joked that the help function should just link to Paragonwiki.
They even mentioned TonyV by name two or more times during the panel saying how they love the site.

Wow, that's extraordinarily kind! And I hope this doesn't come off as superficially deferential, but the honest-to-god truth is that I'm mainly just the guy that keeps the server running. (And really, Sekoia is very helpful at that, too.) The real wizards are the unbelievably prolific writers and editors, including Eabrace, Sekoia, Aggelakis, Blondeshell, and a whole bunch of others--the list could go on and on, literally hundreds of contributors at any given time.|

Also, I can't help but give a huge shout-out to people like Diellan (lead Mids developer), GuyPerfect (lead Sentinel developer), Keen (lead CIT developer), and DeProgrammer (lead Waterworks developer and generally helpful guy on other projects as needed) who keep the rest of the Titan Network updated. I just cannot emphasize that enough, it really is a group effort with a lot of people contributing.
Although, don't get me wrong, keeping the server running really can be a fun and sometimes challenging task, but fortunately, it's one I kinda like.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Midnight Mystery
The Skull of Tommy Arcanus
Once a member of the Midnight Squad... always a member of the Midnight Squad. Tommy Arcanus delved so deeply into the metaphysical arts that his very being was affected. Not only was his daughter born with magical powers, but even in death Tommy's spirit is unable to pass on. Now, all that remains of him is this skull and the spirit that haunts it.

Black Pebble is my new hero.
this is the "bio" of the redside contact for part one.
Alastor
Cursed Spirit
The spirit of Alastor one day mysteriously appeared in Cap au Diable, haunting the boardwalk. The spirit demanded to see one who would, 'help him seek his vengeance'. After discovering he was haunting an area full of villains, Alastor decided that perhaps he could work together with one such villain to seek out his vengeance.
Does alastor have any intereseting anagrams?
I'm hoping this spirit goes in that skull and then it gives me missions.
THis is the game model the contact is using
Classic CoT ghost, I may hate your -acc attacks but you are my favorite of the ghosts. I hope you never get upgraded. Tell Spectral Knight and Spectral Overlord they're so ugly their momma's had to chain a innocence soul around their necks so the other ghosts would play with them. Also tell them I hope they get the upgrade.
Here's Theoden the Skyway contact.
Theoden
Lost Pariah
The being known as Theoden was recently captured by the PPD during a raid on a Lost warehouse. After a day within a cell in Skyway, he demanded to speak to you, saying that he needed the help of a hero to save both the Lost and Paragon City.
Was Citidel's name changed before or after the lawsuit got settled.
I'd love to see some sort of documentary of those times. It blows me away Jack was going to make Marvels MMO.

Not unless you count "Also, tar!" as interesting. It carries a lot of baggage as a straight-up reference, though: Greek mythology is jammed full of Alastors, both as a proper name and as an epithet for various entities, including Zeus. It's also the name of a demon, one that gets referenced fairly often in pop culture (Dante's sword in DMC1 springs to mind), which is fitting given the model used.|

And as Wikipedia informs me:
Quote:
| Alastor, in Christian demonology, came to be considered a kind of possessing entity. He was likened to Nemesis. |

Honestly, I'm not disappointed at what we're getting. I'm disappointed at what we're NOT getting. I first made Brutticus around I16, I think, and even then I could barely find the pieces to make her with. Since then, I've really wanted more tribal/barbarian/savage pieces to make her look a little more unique (I'd like to replace that tank top with something better), and this was the perfect opportunity to add this, but once again gender politics rob me of my prize. And if the Barbarian set doesn't have these pieces, I fear I'll NEVER have them at all.|

I don't want to make male barbarians. Everyone's done this to death and the concept doesn't really thrill me all that much. I want to make female ones, but the pieces just aren't there for women. Their weapons are smaller, the kit is insufficient and their physical build is just too petite. I'm honestly starting to get the feeling that the art team does not consider women as legitimate strength fighters, and probably never. And that's a cryin' shame.

When you have a set which does everything that Forcefield can do AND provides utility aka Traps...what's the point in ever taking Forcefield? |
Storm Summoning, PREPARE TO BE BENT OVER!
To be frank, FF has positioning options (via KB and Repel) that Traps doesn't. And Detention can be a life saver.

I really can't wait for the Signature arcs though, the more info (albeit it slight) we get just makes me more interested.
