What about new characters?

You're very welcome!

Shouldn't they rename Lore to Super Necromancy then? Incarnate Necromancy? Or maybe even Incarnecromancy?

Now somebody has to make a Rat Swan character.

Yes, I would.

"Whoa, hold on guys. Lets not go through with this again."

I think they should delay the Lore Incarnate power. Praetorians are invading MY planet and I get the pleasure of having their troops as my pets? Hah!

That's really terrible.

Let us purchase more character slots, please!

(At this point I would like to fully admit I used to be a swimmer, speedo-wearing and all.)

I haven't built characters with travel powers in a very very long time. If they are in the build, it is for set bonus. I just haven't missed them at all with Inherent Fitness + Ninja Run/Beast Run. There's no content that needs the travel powers and you can even buy a jetpack for an extremely trivial amount.

I'd only recommend travel powers for theme or if you simply enjoy using them. Otherwise the extra power pick(s) and power slot(s) can help your build out that much more.

The kind of PvP I've most enjoyed are largely not in CoH/V. Right now all we have is Free-For-All Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Domination. We're missing out on Capture the Flag, Assault/Defend, Elimination, and many variations in between. These kinds of game types can be done as an instance or in the open world.

Two game types I'd love to see are something similar to Defense of the Ancients and PvP missions. To bring in either, I suspect travel powers might need to be disabled.

Defense of the Ancients is a challenging mix between PvP and PvE. There are usually three paths to take to get to the opposite ends of the map. At each end is a base, which is where players spawn, where temporary player upgrades are available for purchase, and a place to upgrade various base functions (upgrade turrets, upgrade minions being sent out.) The objective is to destroy the enemy's base. Each base produces NPCs to fight for you in waves. These waves are spawned in at the beginning of every path and march their way towards the enemy base, usually to be defeated by enemy base defense or enemy players. These NPCs are persistent though, and will continue to spawn until their side has lost the battle. Currency is an important aspect of this game type as well. This can be gained from destroying parts of the enemy base, defeating other players, or defeating enemy NPCs. This currency can be used to improve the strength of your waves of NPCs, improve how your base functions, or even improve the player (but only for the duration of the match). This special currency is cleared when a player leaves the match either through win/loss or quit.

PvP missions would pit two teams against each other to complete a mission, perhaps Hero/Vigilante vs. Villain/Rogue or even non-aligned teams. Both teams would start at the opposite ends of the map with mission objectives to do in the middle and at their opposite sides, with multiple paths to get to the objectives. This gives players options in creating their strategy. A small dispatch could be sent to get the objectives in the middle of the map while a larger group could be sent towards their opposite side of the map. Players could defend at the center of the map and then wreck havoc on the mission as the other team waits to respawn in. Example objectives could be anything from collection (take an allotted amount of artifacts before they do), tug-of-war (kidnap vs. rescue a hostage).
