[QUOTE=Texas Justice;4254961]What is a bdss moment? /QUOTE]

I belive that it means a Very naughty Mule (ie add 'a's between bd and ds).

I had the same problem with my level 50. I had to get the initial contact from ouroboros in order to start the arcs.

Yeah its M1 In Steel, Minotaur in Talos. Sometimes the statues will have plaques around them that will tell you who they are, such as the statue of Breakneck outside Kings Row tram station.

It seems that the devs arent listening to a lot of things we comlain about.

I dont know what people are complaining about. There were two teams of Leagues on defiant last night. Id say about 10 runs all in all, and every one of them succeeded. Although there were some stalwarts in the league, they were mostly PUG's.

I didnt play the trial on Beta and have never seen it played, but I found it simple to understand, fast and actually rather simple. Found Tyrant to be less than impressive consdiering the build up to him.

Hell, im a squishy defender who didnt use any of my Lore, Judgement or destiny powers and I didnt die once!

I tend to use Aid Self a lot. Aid other less so, but it is a power I take often, usually to get aid self.

My Mace/Shield Tank has it, as well as my FF defender, my energy blaster and my StJ/SR Scrapper. I usually take it on toons that dont have a self heal, to get me out of scrapes and tight spots. My game style is very hit and run, so im often dodging in and out of combat enough to get a heal off before flying back in again.

My tank mostly uses Aid Other because it works theamatically (Hes a Natural Riot Cop, that uses a lot of tricks like sleep gas, Aid Other and Revolver).

I find it very satisfying to help toons that get hurt and retreat from the fight, getting help from someone that they wouldnt expect and helping the healer of the team out a little.

In my opinion, if you have to do exactly the same thing more than once then its called grinding. And I hate grinding.

Ill probably to the trial a couple of times and get maybe T3 in one or two toons, but thats about it. I enjoy leveling up my lowbies more than any end game content.

What about lesser known toons that are strong women, like Marrow, X-23 or Domino. You could also try a Dark Pheonix but I think X3 pretty much bugger that idea up.

Not sure about Wasp. The newly introduced character in A2 is Antman, as his film is out before A2 comes out.

If your only choice is dark or storm, go with dark. The heal with dark will affect more of your guys than O2 would and youll need that! Also IIRC, dark has Tar Patch, which will slow down the mobs to a crawl whilst your guys pick them off from range. Dark has some great holds too, where as storm tends to scatter the mobs too much to be effective.

Hello Peepy things!

I just had a thought. The devs are currently in the process of removing Statesman and Sister P from missions and transferring their mantles to their replacements. Their badges are even changing!

Well, various characters pop up in other places too. IO's! Makos bite, Numinas convalescence, Dark Watchers dispair, Ghost Widows Embrace, Guassans blah blah blah, Sciroccos dervish and so on.

I know Sister P and Stateman have never had an IO named after them, but if they did what would it be? What about the other guys that dont have an IO, like Recluse or Red widow? Maybe Monte, Woodsman or Percy could should have an IO. Anyone want to slot out their build with a Flamebaux IO?

Now that Penelope is in the Phalanx, does she get to have an IO of her very own? Would a Sister P IO just be altered to a Yin IO? If another toon dies, will that IO ever dissappear with him?

This would only work with a few on the heroes. Woodsman's preatorian version looks very very different from his primal form for a good reason. Same goes with Hero 1.

Im not sure the heroes would really want to look like their alternates, especially since theyve been responsible for some pretty nasty things. That being said, I would like to see some of the heroes update their looks a little bit. I dont think theyve changed much since they made positron take off his helmet!

Yep, basically, you have a ghost living inside you for a while. It plays a part in the Noble savage story arc in first ward. Unlike the flies aura from the vaz wasting disease, it has no effect on you apart from the aura.

I was expecting and hoping for so much more than this.

Ath the start of the month, we were hoping that the rather pathetic attacks on the city were just the start of the event, and it would escalate into something great as the month went on.

No such luck. After the first week of 'invasions' people stopped caring. Now, his attempts to take over the city are more of a minor nusence, an inconvienience at best.

Mercandise with various logos (Arachnos, Freedom corps etc) and things like 'Feem!' and 'Im not a nemesis plot' would be SOOOOO nice! Maybe even 'Soon(tm)'!

Ive also always wanted to make small (2 inch wide by 1cm high) brass and enamel versions of the badges. Like a generic exporation one, Weatherman, Beliver, some day jobs ones etc.

With World of warcraft merchandise so prevalent in the collectables market, I wish City of heroes did the same! All I have is the 8 Heroclix figures, which were a gift from a freind.

I hope its not i23. Too be honest, i22 was only a while ago. I think its way too early to be expecting a new issue just yet.

Id like something a little more obtainable in an issue.

Issue X: Full Spectrum

Spear added to staff and Crossbows added to archery and Duel pistols. Club added to War mace. New natural shields added (leaf, wood etc)

[QUOTE=BrandX;4245551]Yup. For sure this is nothing more than a publicity stunt. Sadly, it's one that'll get eat up by the gay community.QUOTE]

As a gay guy, I find this mildly (only mildly) insulting. Not all gay guys are shallow, narrow minded camp people that the media make an effort to focus on. In fact the majority of the gay community are intelligent enough to understand a blatent attempt to increase sales when we see it.

It wont be too much of a problem if they handle it properly. If the superhero is a superhero who just happens to be gay, then it will be ok. If hes a gay man who happens to be a superhero, then there might be problems.

Personally, I dont see it as being a villain, like Lex or Joker. There are too many bad connotations with that (ie gay people are the bad guys). It will be a hero. Maybe Green Lantern, Booster or Blue Beetle.

Sorry Two_dollar, sometimes the tone of what I write isnt the same as the tone in my head. I meant it to sound like 'Thats pretty okay (happy voice and nods)' and not 'thats okay but...'.

I do like your idea, and it follows what I want to do much more than the hovacrab. I dont mind being a little squishy, as ive managed to do incarnate stuff and itrials without dying on my current build. Adding more survivability, AND damage on to my current build is great and its all on the cheaper side! Plus I've learned to love my pets. They dish out that bit more damage I need and help herd mobs, especially the escaping prisoners in Baf.

Im ignorant when it comes to numbers and positional defence and caps. I just cant get my head around it, which is why I didnt understand the duel maneuvers. Now I know, ill think about tinkering slightly (mainly the lvl 32 power) and respec my toon! I might take Omega Maneuver with Stupify? Any other ideas? What would happen if I swap out Mu Mastery for Mace Mastery. For mace im thinking Web envelope, Shatter Armour and Summon Blaster.

Thanks for all your help Two_dollar. Your help is very much appriciated.

Yeah I really like the Mu set. Plus when you use Frenzy, your arms buzz with red energy like the mu static. It matches well and looks different. I know most people chose DS because of the final spider pet power and shatter armour, or GW for the spinning carnival ride hold, but I like Mu.

And Sci isnt as evil as the others. Just.

Yep, im rolling in merits. Think I have around 2300 merits laying about!
