If someone at Paragon *is* reviewing and taking notes, I want to get in this early pre-Beta feedback:
Though I welcome the QoL portal changes described in that feature list, please look at [long range teleport]. The power could use a buff to justify taking it as a power.
A couple things to consider, obviously within balance of pay powers and other game travel features:
- Reduce the cast time to that of TP as opposed to that of the mission teleporter, SG base teleport, pocket D porter, etc.
- Allow LRT to go to all zones you have access to including Praetorian, old hazard and maybe even echo zones (post lvl 14)?
- Have a line at the top of the list for SG Bases allowing LRT to then access a sub-menu of all SG bases you have access to
- Allow LRT to port directly to active mission (may be overpowered)
- Have multiple hotspots per zone--3 to 5? Or one per neighborhood? When selecting a zone with LRT, then follows with a secondary menu listing hotspots or neighborhoods you can port to allowing one to use LRT to port more precisely to zones.
- Permit Vigilantes or Rogues using LRT to port to the other side.
Currently on live, the power is an underwhelming (but sometimes thematically interesting) power choice. I fear when the new portal network goes live, this power choice will be even less useful relative to the non-power choice options.

You know what struck me about this overview? The bit about how we've cleared out Cole's generals. It makes me wonder if Infernal and Black Swan are going to make an appearance mid-Trial, and what it means if they don't.

This actually isn't working anyway, apparently the pages weren't up long enough for google to cache, or its been requested they be pulled, or Im just not aware of other ways to access google cache where it might be available. |

If it was a mistake, and this was special for the pummit, STOP PUNISHING players for it. And if it wasn't a mistake, someone needs to get over themselves. Seriously. Maybe Zwillinger should post something like, "Hey everyone, don't search for Issue 23 using Google, and then look at the cached pages that Google saved." Boy, that would just be terrible. |
It very well could be that last one. If there is another way to access the cached pages on google besides their search engine, I'd love to hear how, it'd be useful beyond this one thing.
Edit: Hooray for search operators.
Figured it out myself.

To specify, they're not the AV that was mentioned for Night Ward. Meanwhile, the CoH Facebook status now outright states that the UStream will be going over the Magesterium Trial, so there that.|

Meanwhile, I'm going to muse the sad state where CoH is finally airing a UStream at a time when I'll be awake...and my computer isn't recognizing a sound card.

I wonder if Katie Douglas will show up someplace in I23?

Makes me wonder if we'll run into them in Night Ward, or in some future Praetorian zone or content with them as one of the zone's Big Bads like how Diabolique was for First Ward and Shadowhunter seems to be for Night Ward. For that matter, Chimera hasn't been dealt with yet either. Kinda figured he'd show up at some point too.|

So that's three more baddies to deal with... at 35-40, 40-45, and 45-50, perhaps, with Praetorian Hamidon for a new Praetorian Incarnate Zone.
But that's just my speculation.

I wonder if the new villain organization that red siders help to set up in SSA2 might invovle loyalist escapees?
Dominatrix says in I22 that she already has a plan in place for when her grandfather/boyfriend falls, so that could be connected to it.

I knew I was forgetting someone. Also, we don't actually *fight* Diabolique in First Ward, do we?

You forgot the part about how it uses some sort of acquired 'temp' power which gets added to the APB (Additional Power Bar).

It also wouldn't surprise me if some of the Praetorians escape. I mean we've got Praetor Duncan running around in Dark Astoria and she was stopped from returning to Praetoria, and her personal plans are pretty clear since she knows the empire is bust at this point.

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.
