Awesome job, Doug.

Great work, SuckerPunch!

There's something veeeery familiar about issue 11, and I can't quite put my finger on it. It's like deja vu.

Then today at work it hits me and I snap a couple of shots with my camera. See if you find anything familiar.

My Office Building
And now the REALLY weird part.

And if that's not proof enough...check the date on this post...I won't write it until tomorrow!!! kidding.

That's pretty spooky.

That is fantastic, thanks for sharing.

You mean The Honoree?

Nice work, Mystic.

I'm enjoying the new costumes and wanted to thank the various peoples for adding them. Kind of fun being a Skull smashing Malta Operatives for once.

I do want to echo something said earlier, for the Lost costume, it really should be the TV head.

Also, I'd really like to see more done with the Unseelie Court. Maybe next year, there can be a few missions with them involved, I hope. Maybe having them force us to pull pranks on some signature heroes/villains? I think that would be a lot of fun.

However, this year players might also receive a temporary power that turns them into one of the many popular non-player characters.

Awesome!

First!

Edit - This is really cool news.

Flashback.

A start at power customization.

Normally, I'm kinda skeptical at new issue time, but this has me pretty excited. Now, I don't have to carefully plan out how my character is going to do his/her missions in order to see it all.

One question I have though, is Flashback going to allow a character to do all the missions from a contact or just the story arcs?

[/ QUOTE ]

Story Arcs and Badge missions.

[/ QUOTE ]

Since there are exploration badges in mayhem and safeguard missions, can we possibly do those in flashback?

_Castle_ Thanks for the response, I want to outline a point on Frozen Aura. Since it is a sleep it makes it a real issue to use effectively in its current incarnation. I am sure you have read Ice Melee 1, 2 and 3 and have seen the boatload of suggestions that have been made. The only Tanker that can benefit from FA in its current form is an Inv/Ice Melee tank which is the rarest Tanker combination.


[ QUOTE ]

So, what's the solution? Currently, there isn't one. Tankers, as a whole, do better than average, and this includes Ice Melee. My focus is on those AT's who, as a group, underperform. I may be able to take some time to make some changes during the I11 beta, or afterwards, but it entirely depends on how things are going. No promises!

I would love to see a positive change to Frozen Aura and I know 99 % of Ice Melee Tanks would appreciate it. Heck I am happy that its being considered. Thanks for your response on this matter.


[/ QUOTE ]

I just wanted to add that I'd love to see this changed as well. I used to make post after post back in the old days, but like most, I just gave up after a while. I've never been happy with Ice Melee, and while it (Ice Melee) can be fun at times, Frozen Aura seems like the most frustrating power that I've had with any character. It feels backwards and weak, and to get something like that as a tier 9 power...

Thanks, Castle, for at least responding to these posts. Maybe you can drag Geko back over to the City of.. side of the office and put him back to work for you.

Just wanted to say that you have done a great job on CoH/V. I remember losing Gilgamesh and knowing that he wouldn't be replaced. Well, he wasn't, but you stepped in and gave us just as much, but with your own different style. Thanks for everything, and I wish you the best.

Good luck, Jesse. We expect to hear more great things from you.

I'm with the general consensus. I don't really care about missing the TO or HO reward, but I'd like to see some of these older trials and task forces revamped. It seems like to me that now would be a perfect time to revamp the sewer trial because of the renewed presence of the Rikti in our little universe.

I'd love to see the low level Cavern of Transcendence Trial revamped (I've never done it, but no one ever seems interested.) I'd also like to see Positron's TF revamped, and of course, all of the shadow shard tf's shortened.

Great article, Arctic.

o,o out of curiosity, how many avatars to go? The page on paragonwiki is running out of horizontal space..

[/ QUOTE ]

I think we may just have to set up a gallery of Ex's avatars. By the way, who made your latest avatar ?

I like using my Statesman heroclix as a decoy dressed up like Captain America. No one thinks he poses any danger, and Boom! Headshot from Zeus' Lightning.

Looks great.

Sweet, thanks Arctic. Glad to see KoA was picked.

You haven’t made a lot of friends by sending heroes out after the ninja chicks, you know?

Right now, our intent is to use these rules for click powers:
1. AOE Heals will not root
2. Self Buffs will not root
3. Self Heals will not root
4. Everything else will.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sweet, Hibernate won't root.

Yeah, yeah, I know, timed toggle, tier nine.... giant block of ice.

Very nice. Thanks for the link.

A couple that need to be added. Where are the Samurai Armor pieces and Upgrading your CoH/V Account

o,o speaking of Wiki's.. was wondering, would there be any links to outside guides and sources? I'm particularly thinking about Paragonwiki when I say this.. they have a number of helpful pages on ingame items, and are always constantly expanding on them!

[/ QUOTE ]

I dropped Tony at the ParagonWiki forums a line. If anyone knows the gents who run that site, please forward my email Lighthouse@ncsoft.com Thanks!

[/ QUOTE ]

I think I have his email, and will pass this along.

Statesman used to appear chained up in the defeat Tyrant mission

[/ QUOTE ]

Thankfully, this has been fixed. Statesman is chained up once again.

That's great.

Good luck to you, Shane. Thanks for all the work you did for us!

I want to stess this:

We are NOT working on a Greek mythology game. Or an ancient history game. Just want to kill that rumour!

[/ QUOTE ]

That's a shame. I'd love a mythology game. The more cultures, the better.

My take on Issue 14 and 15 is that it was rushed. I like both Nakayama and McKinney, but these past couple of issues just seem to rely way too much on the colorist. I think Ronan Cliquet is a talented artist (looking at other work by him) and I have no idea if it is his fault, but it certainly seems lacking to me.

As for the story, it was very anti-climatic. It also seemed rushed at the very end, almost like everything had a set pace and then they realized that it needed to be wrapped up in a four more pages so everything seem very hurried.

I also noticed that he is the penciler for Issue 16 and I hope that he does a good job for the contest winner, Jeff Helm.
