Filling out those two questions you couldn't find:

Here's Part 2 of today's CoH Facebook Freedom Friday Q and A
Q. When does CoH: Freedom go live? There, got that out of the way at the top of the list :-p
A. Later this year.
Q. From late in the previous thread: will Brutes get Quick Recovery in their /Regen?
A. Yes, Brutes will have Quick Recovery.
Q. Is there a list somewhere of what power set pro 3.0 entails?
A. Yes! You can check out the list of which sets are being proliferated in this Intrepid Informer: http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/new..._power_se.html
Q. The reason Dominators aren't getting proliferation, but super secret treatment is because Dark Miasma and Illusions are being combined to create a Dark Illusions set. Please say True.
A. We're not discussing Dominators in this particular round.
Q. This is not a Freedom subject, so at least there's a chance I'll go to sleep before 2AM this week. Unless I play too much Cthulhu Saves the World.
A. The Power Set Proliferation will be coming with Issue 21, which launches with Freedom. That makes it a Freedom topic!
Q. In the last discussion, you told us what powers are in the Blasters' Dark Manipulation Secondary (as of now, in beta, which could of course change).
Can you tell us what powers are currently slated to be in the Blaster version of Dark Blast?
A. Current powers for Dark Blast (subject to change):
- Dark Blast
- Gloom
- Aim
- Moonbeam
- Tenebrous Tentacles
- Abyssal Gaze
- Life Drain
- Blackstar
Whoops, left out Umbral Torrent! That is also currently in the set.
Q. Will Katana for Brutes have "Divine Avalanche" ?
A. Brutes will get Divine Avalanche.
Q. [Could not find the question attached to this answer]
A. No bonuses to Eagles Claw, yet, although it is something that is being looked into. There will not be any changes to Super Reflexes in any of its iterations at this time.
Q. [Could not find the question attached to this answer]
A. Yes. It will have the damage of Night Fall and the Knockback of Torrent
Q. So whats the current list for dark manipulation?
A. The current list for Dark Manipulation is:
- Penumbral Grasp
- Smite
- Death Shroud
- Shadow Maul
- Soul Drain
- Touch of Fear
- Dark Consumption
- Dark Pit
- Midnight Grasp
Q. Will poison be renamed to something else for Controllers? I ask because when Empathy was moved to Corruptors and MMs the name was changed to Pain Manipulation to stay in line with the theme of Villains. So will it be renamed for heroes?
A. Poison will be called Poison for Controllers.
Q. May I ask the order inwhich corrupters receive the psi powers? Are Phantoms going to be available to any other architypes?
A. The order of Corruptor Psychic Blast powers currently looks like:
- Mental Blast
- Subdue
- Psionic Lance
- Psychic Scream
- Telekinetic Blast
- Will Domination
- Psionic Tornado
- Scramble Thoughts
- Psychic Wall
CoH - And that wraps up Freedom Friday for today! Thanks to everyone for participating, and we hope you look forward to trying out all the proliferated powers come Issue 21!
Next week there will not be a Freedom Friday, due to the San Diego Comic Con. However, we will have something in its place, so stay tuned! -
Here's Part 1 of Today's Facebook Freedom Friday Q and A
Q. Is freedom coming out today?
A. City of Heroes Freedom will launch later this year.
Q. Just curious if Dominators are getting love soon, or is the wait until Issue 22?
A. Dominators won't be included in this round of Power Set Proliferation, but stay tuned in the future!
Q. When is the proliferation going down? I'm stoked for a non-mastermind poisons toon.
A. Power Set Proliferation 3.0 will be included with Issue 21!
Q. Dont know what power set proliferation means but hey I already love the game.
A. Power Set Proliferation means that certain archetypes will be getting powers that you used to only be able to get with other archetypes. These powers get tweaked and balanced and made to fit with the theme of that AT.
Q. How come there's nothing for Dominators in Power Set Proliferation 3.0?
A. Dominators aren't in this round, but we haven't forgotten about them!
Q. Can you discuss why Illusion never made it to Doms, or is that part of the tight lips around later, also, how soon do you guys envision finishing off with proliferation, i.e how long until every AT can play every powerset applicable to their them?
A. We're not talking about Dominators for this particular round of Powers Proliferation.
Q. Is there a particular reason Ice Melee wasn't proliferated to Stalkers? Do Assassin Strike animations require that much development time?
A. Certain powers that would have required new animations (such as with Ice Melee) weren't within the scope of Proliferation 3.0.
Q. Powerset Diversification is always great! In terms of this round, can you give any more details about what powers are in Dark Manipulation? Does it get Dark Regeneration? Or Shadow Fall perhaps?
A. Dark Regeneration and Shadow Fall are a bit outside of the scope of a Blaster Manipulation set. The powers currently in the set in beta are: Penumbral Grasp, Smite, Death Shroud, Shadow Maul, Soul Drain, Touch of Fear, Dark Consumption, Dark Pit and Midnight Grasp. These powers are subject to change in the beta.
Q. I mostly want to know when too.
I'm really excited to see Poison finally being available to others!
Thanks for fixing Energy Aura! I may try it now.
Also happy that MMs get a new set. Sonic isn't the most exciting thing to me since most of the bubble sets feel similar to me to play, but at least now it isn't a PITA to bubble all your pets and team! So that makes it a lot better
And for people who didn't read the original announcement, some of your questions are answered here: http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/ne...se.html
A. When: Issue 21!
Q. Has there been any changes to regeneration to make it compatible with the hit points of a brute? What about the super reflexes for tank? (A slight hit point increase would do wonders for tanks with super reflexes, in my opinion)!
A. The rate of health regeneration will be the same for Brutes as it is for Scrappers. So, it will take the same amount of time for a Brute to go from 0 to full health as it will for a Scrapper.
Q. Will the dev team leave some powers that are unique to that AT or is proliferation going to distribute the powersets across the board for the applicable AT?
A. Wed like to eventually proliferate every set that makes sense to be brought over for the appropriate archetypes.
Q. Did regen need to undergo any mechanics changes to port over to brutes? Like a higher base regen? Or maybe a Valkyrie uber MoG?
A. The rate of Health Regen for Brutes is the same as it is for Scrappers.
CoH - We're talking specifically about Power Set Proliferation today.
Q. Where do I get information about what exactly will be discussed here. I looked on the boards and I see nothing.
A. We announce the topic both on Facebook and on the forum. Today, we're talking about Power Set Proliferation 3.0, which you can read more about here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=265044
Q. City of Heroes Answering person: What is your favouite new combo out of the 3.0 proliferations?
A. Personally, I'm looking forward to Dark Blast for Blasters, and Regeneration for Brutes.
Q. Is there any chance we will be seeing dark/ or /dark controllers in the near future?
A. Can't talk future specifics right now, but again, we look at powers that make sense to port over to specific ATs.
CoH - And that wraps up part 1 of today's Freedom Friday! Thanks to everyone for joining us, and remember that part 2 will start at 1 p.m. Pacific time, and run until 3 p.m. Pacific time! -

Quote:I wonder how the Incarnate powers and system will fit into this. It's already been stated by the CoH team that Incarnate powers will be VIP only, unfortunately Free and Premium players will not have access to the Incarnate system. So would this be a lure for Free players to become VIP or is it just one more thing to drive a wedge between Subscribers and Free players?Originally Posted by Lycantropus
The most relevant point to this topic based on the video Sam posted the link to, is DON'T SELL POWER... -
Quote:Would love to see this commercial madeOriginally Posted by Steelclaw
Voice Over: Enriche makes you feel energized and ready to face your day. Don't believe us? We tracked down an Enriche drinker to find out how HE feels about the idea of going a day without a fortifying drink of Enriche.
Praetor Neuron: Go a day without my Enriche? People, I have at least 1000 different scientific advances, research and projects going on at any given time. Enriche helps me maintain the pace it takes to get them ALL finished perfectly and thereby provide a better lifestyle and stronger defense of all you loyal Praetorians. But don't let ME be the one to convince you how important it is to drink Enriche... let's talk to someone who REFUSES to take advantage of this wondrous elixer...

Anti-Matter: What? Oh... COME ON!! -
Maybe it should be known that it's not actual in-game pics, but a piece of concept art for the Rocket Board, Gunslinger costume, and Player Circle of Thorns Costume.

Quote:And what's wrong with creating an exclusive server for those that do not want to play or interact with free/premuim players? Being on the exclusive doesn't grant VIPs any special bonuses to the game, it's going to be the same game that's on the other servers.Originally Posted by Lycantropus
Thanks for linking that video! I really liked it, and it put a voice to my misgivings with the 'exclusive' server
The reason why it was created is because F2P games can draw people who's sole purpose is to grief and harass legitiment players with no actual desire to play the game. Since it's free to play, there really is no consequence for their actions, none. The VIP exclusive server is something that subscribed players can retreat to if they find their interactions with free players to be a constant negative experience. -
I think posting pics from the article is against forum rules unless someone from the CoH community team wants to clarify this.
-
Personally I'm going to enjoy the leech newbie XP feature. Whenever a VIP is in the vicinity of a free player they drain the XP, Inf, and whatever else they have out of them

Quote:That's were I recall hearing it from, alright wasn't a dev post but an article. *phew* thought I was going crazy or something, yay!Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
Not an official redname post, but the recent Massively.com article here said:
Quote:One of the really cool elements that was shown off was something I inadvertently alluded to a few weeks back: two-handed melee weapons. It turns out that isn't coming in a Super Booster but in the new store. It also promises to change the dynamic of the weapon sets to reward a slightly different playstyle, emphasizing repeated weapon strikes in quick succession. Interesting stuff, to be sure, although I was told that it won't quite be ready for the store's launch. But hey, you have to leave something for further on down the line. -
Quote:Well went searching throught the dev posts and couldn't find anything, thought it was mentioned that it was going to be through Paragon Market. Guess it was one of those hallucinogenic episodes.Originally Posted by Mental_Giant
Unless something very recent came out, I didn't see any reference to Power Sets that would be available via the Paragon Store.
Unless that PC Gamer article meant that...
Pushing the button. -
I would've fired the arrow right away

really? the concept art for the CoT pieces has it more looking like a hood vs. a wizard's hat. Unless you're speaking about a different costume set. -
Wasn't it already mentioned that the Titans weapons powerset would only be available via Paragon Market?
-
Well as long as you remained subscribed to CoH you do get 400 Paragon Points. Maybe you'l have enough stored up when CoH Freedom launches

Quote:The concept art they have the Gunslinger seems to look like a western/steampunk mix. She is not sporting a new long coat, if any she looks something like a saloon girl from the wild west era. She has cow skull bracers, a gun holster, iron shoulder pads, and a big ribbon in her hair that has a veil that goes down the back of her head.Originally Posted by Cognitive_Genome
Does the gunslinger stuff have any new long coats, like a duster? Would be awesome to finally get a variant of the trench coat in game.
-
Quote:The Gunslinger pieces look great, but it looks more like concept art then actual in-game pieces.Originally Posted by Mental_Giant
Just opened the issue for that article, and DAMN, I like those Gunslinger pieces. The face even looks high-rez, but it could just be a Steampunk face.

Just bought the issue today at my local Barnes and Nobles
"... Are those skulls on your bracers? Fancy"

Going to have to hunt down this issue, then again maybe the CoH team can release the pics since the news has been released.

Quote:I'm sure Sinestro was using all his will to supress the [censored]-eating grin when he saw Hal stripped of his ring by the Guardians. He'll probably use his ring to create an intergalatic mariachi band to privately celebrate the event.Originally Posted by Hazmatter
Well, we know Hal will be back as GL from the cover of the JLA relaunch.
As for Sinestro, I can kind of understand why a ring would choose him again, especially given his actions immediately prior to being re-inducted: attacking Krona in an effort to save Hal. "He would die for the Corps. So would I," indeed. In an ideal world, Sinestro would have a moment of clarity and publicly resign from the Corps before the Guardians can kick him out again, admitting that he still has much to atone for before he's worthy to sling a green ring again. Buuuuuut this is Sinestro we're talking about, so I'm not holding my breath. -
Quote:Don't know, I'm not so keen on this one, probably because it would introduce another race that the Guardians have collaborated with in regards to creating the power rings and a peacekeeping organization. The Guardians of Oa collaborated with the Controllers, Zamarons, and now a secret race that they kept hidden. For a race of all-powerful, all-knowing cosmic beings they sure as hell can't seem to get it right when it comes to maintaining peace in the universe. Then again it would just be another reason why the Guardians are so inept, and really should be removed all together.Originally Posted by Nericus
The original concept of Emerald Twilight involved a second group of Guardians arriving claiming to be the real ones. Hal had to decide which group was real and stick with it and convince the GLC. Hal chose the new arrivals while the other supposed Guardians made the GLC more militant and restored Sinestro as a member. Hal's ring was going to be destroyed but he would discover that he was evolved to a point where he was a living ring/battery and not need a ring anymore and save the day. At the end he was going to quit the GLC and call himself the Protector due to the real Guardians cauing his father's death in Emerald Dawn to help make Hal more fearless and thus a better GL.
Perhaps we will be getting something similar? -
Quote:Could see something like this happening, but to me it would seem to be a repeat of Emerald Twilight, Hal vs. the Guardians of OA and GL Corps. If Hal were to go renegade, what I would love to see happen is something akin to old noir/pulp stories were an honest cop gets driven out by his corrupt superiors and becomes a Private Eye. He gets ahold of his own power ring (Pick a color) and decides to follow his own cases and leads, which would irk the hell out of the Guardians of Oa. At the same time he maintians hidden communication with other GL Corps members and slowly convinces them that the Guardians aren't the best thing for the universe, and tries to find some solid evidence that would stick and to remove them from Oa.Originally Posted by Nericus
As to Hal, Atrocitus did speak a prophecy of Hal turning renegade again as the Guardians attempt to strip him of what he loves most and that Hal would rebel.....
