Have not been active in Coh for a while, so maybe it is old news. But if they can do that and are doing that, can we have for Masterminds too?? /em trying to not get too excited.. |
I think those are unique pets for Shadow Hunter.

Wow.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

New "Targeted AoE" Invention Sets
Replace debt reduction property on IOs
Resistance Is Futile! (A suggestion on how to limit stackable resistance and defense bonuses that probably isn't what they adopted, but I did advocate adding more useful resistance bonuses to IO sets)
Yes, I know I'm not the only person to want these things, but I did put forward [bother to type up] (and occasionally bump, in the case of the TAoE sets suggestion) explicit proposals in the correct forum.
Anyway, even though these changes are somewhat limited in scope, I'm VERY happy to see them.

This issue looks like it's going to be awesome, and i can't wait. Hopefully I'll have time to finish up Mecha Armor and get Fire and Ice before it goes live and bumps Fire and Ice off the chart.
fingers crossed for allowing Praetorian alignments out of Praetoria.

I think you most certainly can!
I recall asking about new TAoE's on Freedom Fridays and being told there were no plans on adding anymore. I guess I now know how useful FF are/were...
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?
Arc Name: Tsoo In Love
Arc ID: 413575
The 7-20 range for Kings Row sounds like it'll be a perfect story transition from Atlas Park and the Galaxy City tutorial - we've already seen the Skulls and Hellions in Atlas Park taking advantage of the chaos from the disaster, and I24 looks like it'll be expanding on that in a big way.
Also, with the overview mentioning BAB and the Regulators putting out a call for more heroes to help them, I think that means that BAB will finally become a contact and get a bigger presence in the game.

That could be possible, as the new Praetorian content on Primal Earth is around the range Praetorians are starting to run out of content on their own world.|

The thing I'm interested to see is how they'd handle the transition from First Ward/Night Ward, where the evil empire is still in power, to the new 30-50 content on Primal Earth where the loyalists have already been defeated - I think that it's going to be very hard to make a smooth transition story-wise.
For example, Praetorian Vanessa is the final FW contact, but if you can head straight to Brickstown after doing her arc, if there were any Praetorian Carnies there they'd have Desdemona as their leader.

Well, it's about time.

Are there players who don't have tailor access?
| Power Pool Customization: Players who have unlocked tailor access can now change the colors of their Ancillary, Patron, and Power pools, allowing customization of powers such as Super Speed, Hasten, and Soul Tentacles. |
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
I like it all. Super excited about seeing how the new T9 will look.
As always, new arcs are what I look forward to the most. It's unfortunate red side didn't also get some level7-20 love.
My VIP I was going to let lapse might be activated again sooner than planned(just for the VIP arc and Tech Knight set).
I find it a little interesting that it states "specific" mezz resists will be removed from some IOs. What I hope is that while some like the immob resist in melee sets gets removed, others like some of the stun/hold resists get buffed. The main problem was the sheer fact that the values were so incredibly low, sometimes hovering around 1%. Sorta on the fence about there being a new Defense set since defense is already so highly valued in the game.
While I'm glad to see new story content, it's a little disappointing that low level redside wasn't included. Granted, low level redside tends to be more organized and memorable than low level blueside, it would have been nice to not increase the disparity between the amount of content for both sides.
TYPO: The current attack is called Lightning Clap not Lightning Clasp
So nothing about AE?

As far as we know. I22 had new maps for AE, but they weren't included in any patch notes or overview pages. We just had to find them. So they may sneak in more stuff this time around, too.

Ohh Praetorians in Paragon. So maybe Ms. Lib -is- getting replaced by the Prae trio.
Can't wait to see if I'm right.
Let's see now:
Replacing the worst IO set bonuses: Squee! Great move.
New Io sets: Double squee! They all sound pretty interesting. Though TAoE is the only one I think was -needed- for variety, the others add to categories with lots of options already. Still, cool!
More Lore: YAY! The Dark Astoria mobs! AWESOME That'll certainly round out some options more. I've got a necromancer that'd be VERY interested in some BP lore pets. Kind of surprised there's no Circle/Knives of Artemis, but hey, the other options are still awesome <3 Can't wait to see what they do. Longbow get their cataract, will BP get ravagers? :O
New Incarnate Arc: YAY. Sounds great! Always happy to get more arcs to do as an Incarnate. Plus fighting more Praetoria DE! The teasers seem to show Shadowhunter and more than one encounter with the Avatar.
New Zone Stuff! : Honestly these sound like some zone revamps! Curious if the zone levels will be remaining the same (I expect they will, it would be pretty hard to squeeze 20 levels of mobs in St Martial/Bricks) but the new arcs will be welcome additions to help fill in the dismal 30-50 range
All in all, looking like a great issue with lots of revamp and new content.

Well was hoping for more than maps. More on like adding the new powersets over. I've asked this question a few times on Freedom friday on FB, and they mentioned some substantial adds for AE. Crossing fingers. Love to get the glands salivating.

The level range for the new blue and red Praetorian content is interesting - it looks like it'll be possible to deal with the aftermath of the war 20 levels before the war starts
That may be part of a wider plan to make the Praetorian Incarnate content "historical", and replace it in the timeline with the Battalion content.
