Wonder what the big reveal at the next summit will be now.

Ironically, if the damage buff is applied as a +X% dmg buff, it will be terrible for brutes, just like musculature is. Hopefully they will keep it useful for ATs that don't benefit much from damage buffs or are already sitting close to or at the damage cap (kinetics)

They may be dishonest shadows.

Pictures of the above. Though again they said the summit is less about 'big reveals' and more about interacting with players, so I think we'll see a bigger focus on the discussion panels like the design a power set and the zone revamp panel, etc.

The incarnate slot sounds interesting though.

You and Agent White are probably right, which of course gives me a sad face. Some of the best artistic looking zones get little activity.

There was that rumor it was going to be two slots, but I have learned to ignore those in game rumors because it is usually some snot nose 14 year old winding people up.

What AT do you roll for your melee's the most Stalkers, Scrappers, Brutes or Tanks?

Well than the melee tree with defense should be nice. Could than replace a set that gives some defense for MOAR recharge.


The most, scrappers. But I only have one of them at 50. I have a couple brutes sitting at 50 tho. I dunno, I realized I have a lot of scrappers and corruptors but they arent necessarily my favorite AT's.

I thought it was more than a rumor, as in something that was said during a coffee talk or something.

It wasn't a rumor, they originally said at a player summit that the two slots, genesis and hybrid, would be released together, which was the case until a more recent UStream stated otherwise that there would just be a single slot released.

I took note of the fact that it states,"Take down the Well's Champion"
Instead of "Take down Tyrant/Cole"

This has me thinking, we could end up fighting a Hamiyrant, ala Rulu-Wade in the final showdown.

Either the Well, sensing it's Champion weakening, merges the two entities, or Cole does so in a process of losing his mind entirely.

I seriously doubt Praetoria will end with an entire league pilling onto the rahter plain white suited dictator, but rather will be his 'modified' form...

What destiny do you use for him?

Not his suited form, his armored evil statesman look.
I think it would speak volumes if he was taking hits from a whole league. He is the wells champion after all.
I''ll be pretty disappointed if he "transforms" before we get a chance to beat him up the way he is now first.

Transformations should be brought upon by desperation and being near defeat. Transforming first seems anti climatic.

Thanks for the correction.

Well then I must apologize to all of the 14 year old snot nosed kids out there, I am truly sorry.

That might be in the "Support" tree that "grants bonuses to you and your teammates"

It's a Praetorian Zone. Of course it's Co-Op! You'd think WWD would put the fear of death into villains who think it's a Good Idea to try to stake out into the world and try to rule and/or destroy it themselves. I'm almost positive the entire world rallied, stopped Wade's armies, and he's currently getting mind-probed by one of the most powerful psychics in the world.

I do hope this stays the vocal minority of villains who feel they are not villainous enough. That road, as shown thus far, ends in death and shame. Besides, the game is still called 'City of Heroes: Freedom'. Villains probably need to accept that their route is split between anti-hero and villain, and not the diabolical insanity some wish they were.

Again, WulaWade. Take that route, you will die. Or you're a Sue-Villain who MUST win and in that case, again. WulaWade, you WILL die. He was the prime Sue-Villain and HE DIEEEED~! (Sort of.)

On the flipside, their Pandora's Box does sound interesting and maybe they'll keep the SSA's truly split this time. As much as I love seeing villains NOT be villains, I suppose that minority needs their 'fix' so they don't feel like they're unloved.

That said, I tend to look at the co-op zones as less "HEROES AND VILLAINS MUST WORK TOGETHER" and more "It's mechanically easier to do it this way. We'll have the story be used to suggest a 'group of villains' are doing it their way and a 'group of heroes' are doing it another. If you don't like that, don't team with each other and pretend they aren't there.".

The extreme cases of Dark Astoria and Rikti War Zone are obviously "We NEED to work together or we're ALL screwed", and even super villains in comics have been well aware that when something beyond them turns around the corner, it's better to fight as one, then be divided and fall.

If they're the "WORLD MUST BURN" types... don't run the content and you're obviously never going to get that sort of content in a game still called 'City of Heroes'.

Never understood why those types of villains are sometimes desired. Pretty one-dimensional and I just went on a random tangent for NO REASON.

Praetoria Zone. Neutral Territory. Going to be co-op. Deal with it.

/Shades.

Well part of it is just that Praetoria is pretty isolated and lacks a lot of standard convenient amenities. If you don't start there there's no reason to go there. And First Ward is interesting to run through once, but after that there's not a lot of reason to go to the zone unless you really liked it. A lot of the badges you'll get doing the arcs, the Seed just is not that fun (as epic and cool as it looks) and that just leaves the myriad of dayjob badges which... well, you only get via logging out. I really do love First Ward but there's no good reason to hang out there and I have to go out of my way to get there. it all just adds up to a ghost zone. Which Night Ward will probably be too, though it's nice to have as an alternative to the humdrum arcs starting in brickstown/founder's falls. I kind of wish it went to the full 40 though cuz it just means when you're done you just go right back to them.


And thinking about it, at least from the information here, I agree that this does feel a little light for a full issue update, it seems more like a .5 update, but they probably didn't want to add a new zone and the 'climax' trial in a half issue update since 22 was so Dark Astoria centric. on the other hand it may not be the full info either, since it seems ot be a leak it could easily be unfinished.

But the Beta server has been closed, so I expect it can't be far off.

Is this the part where ZWill comes and offers us all some points or merits if we "Forget we ever saw anything and stay silent"

If so I saw it twice

It is still there for me, note that the graphic was never there.
