It's going to be a purely cosmetic thing. We go to a contact to purchase movie tickets and we watch the longest cutscene in the game presented as an in-universe feature-length movie.

Oh goodie! I hope that it's a beach party with killer somethings (in a trial) and surfing contests (with badges) and sand castles (em_kicksand). But any summer event will be wonderful. I do love the existing ones, so yay!
It's entirely possible that I missed it due to all of the annoying Flash popups in the PDF, but I didn't see any reference at all to a summer event. It looked like it was just a continuation of the interview previously posted on the website.

I'm still hoping that-- in fine comic book style-- issue 25 will be a double-sized spectaculer!

Open Archetype Suggestion thread!, Kirsten's Epic Weapon Pools, Feudal Japan, Etc., Alignment specific Rularuu iTrials!
If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.
I'm rather skeptical the engine can do a lot more when it chugs so horribly during things like Rikti invasions and whatnot where everybody starts to do the slideshow dance.
Maybe they mean the costume creator is getting an overhaul. That's the one thing CO updated and did better than the original--4 colors instead of 2 and asymmetrical pieces!

Oh, come on. You do not want smarter mobs do you? I mean, they might start organizing, having 'Occupy Atlas' events protesting all the butt whippings they get. Protests and sit ins everywhere. Hellions, Skuls, Outcasts, Thorns, and Clockworks uniting into a single union 'Mobs R Us' leading to a complete shutdown of Paragon City. They will put all the superheroes and villains out of business! All of which we know will ultimately find support from Recluse, Nemesis, and all the other evil super villain leaders. Surely, this is not what you are thinking? Say it ain't so!

Current active characters: Dragon Maiden (50+3 Brute SS/WP/PM), Black Widow Maiden (50+1 Night Widow), Catayclasmic Ariel (50 lvl Defender - Kin/DP), Quantumshock (50 lvl Elect/Energy/Energy), American's Defender (38 lvl Tanker - SD/Mace), Spider-Maiden (15 lvl Corruptor - RB/PD) & Siren Shrike (15 lvl Defender - Sonic/Sonic). My entire stable.

What are you talking about, it's not like adding 3 new power slots would make the game explode or something. Oh Shi...

Actually, the information in the article is pretty interesting.
Looking back over the last 4 years of developments... I wouldn't be completely shocked that things look quite a bit different in another couple of years...
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.
R.I.P.
Chyll - Bydand - Violynce - Enyrgos - Rylle - Nephryte - Solyd - Fettyr - Hyposhock - Styrling - Beryllos - Rosyc

The game will finally be able to give us pie.

"Never seen before"? "Blockbuster?" During the summer?
This can only mean one thing. They finally got the Big Red Ball worked out. You'll see it on the Talos Beaches. I'm officially pumped now.
/Either that, or they finally fix AE missions for front/mid/back in outdoors, as well as the spawns, and a zoom function...
//Nah, I'm goin' with BRB. Definitely.
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Warwitch stopped by for a bit before running off to a meeting. Then Dr. Aeon came by. Nothing really blockbuster about what's going on in the game. They are both continuing to work on their respective areas: Warwitch managing the teams and Aoen doing story work. Shocking.
They also talked about gamer safety: not sharing passwords, keeping your drivers and antivirus up to date, etc.
Finally, Zwill showed off his new macbook air that he got with part of his tax return (yes he and Bianca actually discussed this.
)There was probably other stuff I forgot if anyone wants to chime in.
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
