News from PAX
Love the idea of a haunted mansion, and I love the idea of the cloth, loin type, 1 each. But I gotta say it: the "barbarian woman" costume doesn't say "barbarian" to me, it says "Santa's helper."
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

The most famous woman barbarian ever was Wilma Flintstone. Maybe Wilma would wear something like this for a special occasion.
But Wilma would be wearing something like this guys skirt every day of the week
just to keep this argument about women's clothing in its proper historical perspective.

I wish that they've make a Giant Robot Booster Pack already...

I've seen Boomtown suggested for a revamp (we've had an arc dealing with its reconstruction dating back to the launch of City of Villains).
What about a clockwork-themed zone where they've won and it's clockwork architecture everywhere? Perhaps thrones the size of Babbage, Clock King and Paladin in various corners of the zone tied to a zone event where you fight them and mobs in different groups before facing a bigger threat in the middle of the map (a Praetorian Portal that unleashes the Babbage/Clock King/Paladin counterparts and you fight all 3 at once).
EDIT: Thanks for the added photos, DB. Destroyed Cim map looks interesting.
Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.
Golden Girl, you are being very cruel to us fumble fingered, uncoordinated, sensitive about it, painfully shy players, who play this game with great gusto anyway.
I play every day, I participate in the forums, I chat in Broadcast, I help new players in Broadcast, If I see a wonderful looking costume I send a Tell telling the player 'Good Job"
I also spend a lot of my hard earned cash in this game, even bought the emote pack.
I is a very good customer, don't be hatin' on me because I have a minor disability..that is just plain cruel.

So don't wait for heroes, do it yourself

They've investigated other things and decided not to do them
![]() Also, with the spread of the new style trials to non-Incanrate content like the new sewer one and the planned holiday trials, they're conditioning players to be comfortable with the LFG and TUT stuff right from level 1 - all the new players coming in with I21 won't know anything else. |
And what about this game being friendly to soloers?
Well, I am not exactly a solo only player. I LOVE huge missions like the Rikti invasions and the Zombie invasions, and the special events because I can get into a team and if I mess up a shot, nobody will jeer at me.
Pancake, this game is supposed to be fun. It is not fun to be jeered at because you run into a wall and thus lose the team.
Sigh....anyone play on Victory who does not jeer at clutzes?
Didn't think so.

The barbarian stuff looks underwhelming and the boots remind me more of the winter event furry boots etc. Ugh. Another lame booster/costume set. I wish they just dropped celestial set on us. I guess I'll wait and see the final result before truly poo pooing it.
I like the sounds of some new stuff in game. Sadly the new maps look to be more CoT and something else. Same old boring group again. Ah well.
Well, I am sure i21 will hit within a few weeks and I am looking forward to seeing all the new stuff and hopefully a large increase in player numbers.
Thanks to everyone who reported the info on here. Much appreciated.
I also do love the fact they are designing cool looking bosses like the Abomination. As soon as he goes into the game I will be reporting his name and will enjoy fighting him as Generic 02345765247.

They have no such control over us.
Unless that was meant to be humour, in which case:

Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
I've not read the whole thread...
But...
Shouldn't the minotaur have some cool barbarian wings?... 'cause... y'know.
((Note - I have no idea what 'barbarian' wings would look like. Some sort of tattered battle standard tied to them maybe, but that'd ruin the joke and make this a serious suggestion.))

Maybe if you gave him some ranch dressing they'd be Cool Barbarian Wings?
Paragon Studios, I am disappoint. :|
I'd have thought that they'd have used PAX to lay some cards on the table, ready for a release in the next few weeks. The 'new and shiny!' attitude seems to persist. The female Barbarian outfit is... a little laughable at best, and a bit offensive at worse. You say Barbarian, I don't think skirt and thigh high boots. I think evolution of those ragged 'Tied Bracers' with fur armour, leather and smatterings of chain mail or small armour plating.
Also, Minotaur character shown without using the cool minotaur leg option we have? Really?
The fly/afterburner comment is just silly. If you could just take -one- power to get access to T5 Travel Pool powers, I'd buy it, but instead you'd need two powers. And Afterburner doesn't even work with Hover. Of course, if it did it' be a bit useless anyway, as you can't attack while Afterburner is running because... um...
uh...
Devs will it so?

At least the other (non-MMO) company I was following showed some promising stuff.
Edited to Add:
That reward table for Signature Story Arcs. The once every seven days one.
1 Alignment Merit, usable only by Heroes or Villains. 1 can be used to roll for 5 random recipes.
4 Reward merits, usable by anyone. You'd need 16 more to roll for 1 random recipe. To buy a specific recipe outright, you'd need way more than 4.
One Astral Merit, every 7 days. That'll do... a lot.
Or 10 threads. Half a component, and threads don't drop from non-iTrials anyway.
Not exactly stunning rewards.
Sooo.. Ummm...
Can someone tell me why the female "barbarian" outfit just looks like a kinky santa suit?
Seriously, devs... If you guys really want to know what your standard female barbarian look is meant to be like, just google "Red Sonja"...

Once Freedom is up and running, use a free transfer to bring a character over to Defiant, and try a few TFs :-)
ETA: I finally clicked on the female barbarian picture. Ahahahaa! Seriously? Well, I guess it'll come in useful for Christmas costume competitions.
Arc#314490: Zombie Ninja Pirates!
Defiant @Grouchybeast
Death is part of my attack chain.
Wow, the panels were a bit bland maybe, for what Im seeing at forums.
I was expecting tons of backpacks screens, also CoT costume set for players, and more of the Barbarian costume set.
Info of more powersets we know about, like Titan and Staff...
And a release date...
But everything looked cool as always.
Just a bit dissapointed with the female Barbarian set, if thats all.
Lets hope females get the bracers and chest straps males got, also a furry biquini, both top and bottom and the shoulder parts.
Now is looking more like a sexy Santa stripper.
But kudos for adding a new tiara after 7 years!

FURRY bikini? No way. Chainmail bikini.
