When are you going to implement gifting between players? "We desperately want to."
Can we transfer our supergroup to another server? "That's something we're looking into."
If you run across a mission that doesn't tell you it's a kill all, and it is, PLEASE bug it.

But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Up front - thanks to those attending who are giving us these updates.

When will you merge Ouroboros? "Ouroboros is a dirty, dirty hack." it's actually not trivial, but they want to, just haven't been able to do it yet.
Ability to transfer characters between accounts? "When we were working on server transfers, we accidentally transferred one to another account, so we know it's possible."
Invite my new characters to my supergroup? "It's a constant request, but it goes against the idea of supergroups, and supergroups are hard on server resources. But we're looking into it."
Why do we lose long hair when we put on a hat? "Behind the scenes, a hat is just hair."

Yeah it's a bad idea but you know guys it's *one* lame idea out of a bunch of other cool stuff so, call it a wash and don't dwell on it. At least wait to see the costume before you pull out the torches and pitchforks, you may not even want the thing.
Was there any actual information about the solo incarnate path, or did they just flub us off with 'next year'?

According to Von Krieger's UStream transcription, it's also the only way to get ATIOs.

only way so far. The way they announced it, the costume was the only thing that was going to be exclusively in the random packs

Oh good, I'll have something to look forward to in the morning, after that absoloute ******* train wreck of an idea of 'booster packs'.

...and multiply it by about a zillion more.
To be honest I don't have as huge of an issue of the costume locks behind random packs as some have an issue with it.
Now if they "hid" new, shiny powersets randomly behind 'booster packs' then yes....I'd be very 
At the moment I just "LOL" about the idea of random rewards like that.
I don't mind the ability to buy a random pack of goodies but locking new costume pieces behind it is rather....silly to put it mildly.
I also think this will be like the "15 emp. merit gate for new incarnate abilities!" that was reversed....
But hooray for new (higher lvl) Tsoo and BP! I always liked the Tsoo!

What's the word on the new stuff for dominators that was mentioned months ago? Is Darkness Control it? Will it be free or premium? Tell them from me I'm not impressed. Darkness Control could have been added years ago. Along with Dark Assault. Also, if it's being added any time after Staff Melee they 'can haz my stuff'.
Please buff Ice Control.

And Darkness Control is going to be free for VIP's.

Presumably, since more proliferation was mentioned in the other topic, Dark Assault would be lumped in there. Granted, that's what a sensible person would assume, but the fact that apparently "grab bag" purchases in the store were okayed without anyone being given a swift kick to the crotch on general principle means that there's a distinct lack of sensible people on Paragon's side, I fear.

It truly is the worst idea we've seen in the history of CoH. Should it go live, it will mark a more significant change in Paragon Studios' attitude towards its playerbase than CoH Freedom's launch of a F2P-MTX business model.

We've had this talk. It's not that simple. Also "I WANT NEW STUFF. WAIT OTHER NEW STUFF THIS ISN'T THE STUFF I WANTED. WELL IT IS THE STUFF I WANTED BUT NOW I DON'T WANT IT." is pretty awesome. hi5 miss salt.

So much for using Dark Astoria for tip hunting. On the other hand, level 50 Tsoo? Yes, please. Will there still be ghosts?
And Darkness Control and Staff Fighting? Mwahahahaha.
No comment on brain-dead marketing ideas. I vote the market with my wallet.
Blood Widow Ricki * Tide Shifter * T-34 * Opposite Reaction * Shaolin Midnight * ChernobylCheerleader
Probably. But that's quite an overhaul, tons of 20-30 missions and even some beyond send you into Dark Astoria.
Then again, a lot of the hazard zones are kind of going unused as it is, just run into it for a mission, run right back out. Probably see some incarnate story arcs to run around in it.
