Glacier Peak

In this mission, players are given maximum caps to all stats and attributes, ergo great power. Knowing when to use those great powers, when they are available for example - as the OP points out its not immediately, comes great responsibility.

There are a few places in the world of Co* that a player can try going underwater. Due to a lack of specific animation for wading or swimming, along with a lack of layers for the player to move through, the player has to use their imagination that they are actually swimming underwater. There is a place in Grandville where this can be done, a few places outside the war walls in Paragon City, and a mission in the ITF that has a deep enough pull to swim underwater in.

FrostFireWorks (since the Winter Event includes New Years, a la Fireworks temps!) Also a list of Winter Event badges for folks to be aware of: And see the HCWiki: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Winter_Event_2020

The patch note was in the Staging sub forum. There is a sub forum in the Beta section for the Staging sub forum.

Pretty sure the umbrella term 'Winter Event' is used to be as inclusive as possible to all holidays/religious observances.

Pre Release

Seasons Greeting (Event Badge): Throw a snowball at another player. Edit: Badge image could be a simple white snow ball with moving through the air on a blue background.

With great power comes great responsibility

Yeah if you're referring to the Brute version. Good find! https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=brute_melee.savage_melee.vicious_slash&at=brute

Eh holiday weekend I think that's reasonable

Added to the efforts!

I like this suggestion. They're great enhancements. Or perhaps something similar to HOs. Adding something like this would be a drop in the pond really 😃

Null the Gull in Pocket D let's players turn on or turn off the effects of Group Fly.

Yeah I couldn't find one on Excelsior's sub forums either, but Torchbearer had this: 8 Player All Stalker Hami Raid. Looks like a lot of pets in the video down the page, still impressive IMO.

That looks pretty fast Edit: Meaning the three of you did it quickly, not anything to do with the video speed. Good work!

I can see it now - teaming with a player who has Group Fly active while your character has wings on their costume.

Yeah that's accurate.

I like to build for knockback protection, so I slot the shields and Arctic Fog with those and other global bonuses (LoG +Rech, etc.) If you can get your hands on some Acc/Defense Debuff HOs, slot em in Infrid. Or you can go the proc heavy route if you want to turn it in to a decent attack power. And I didn't pick up Weave because of the endurance cost and power choice cost, Arctic Fog + my epic shield does enough for me, and where it comes short during soloing I just pop a purple/orange to compensate, or incarnate T4 +res+def. I ended up putting that Kismet +acc in Combat Jump.

No need for trainer, you can type /selectbuild 1 or 2 or 3 anywhere to change your build.

I can't speak for the DP side, but you slotted the debuffs the same way I did, minus Sleet, which I threw in Corruptor ATO set in for bonuses. Don't overlook the shields and frostworks either, all great for mules/one slot wonders. Edit: And to answer your question, Sleet is a Pseudopet.

Stealing this for my Elec/Regen Sentinel. All those Chance for Heals gots me excited!

I like to think with my Ice/Cold Corruptor that my debuffs make a 30 second window to make any enemy easy to solo. I've soloed everything outside of Hamidon and Incarnate trials with my main. Benumb will get you as much -regen for 30 seconds that you need in order to inflict a ton of damage and make it stick. Infridg has so much proc potential, I like to throw a -res proc and two Acc IOs for good measure since it recharges so fast already. Sleet recharges quick too, so I just use it for its debuffs and stack it with Ice Storm and Blizzard to help even more with damage comparative to -regen. When I am fighting an AV or GM, I drop Snow Storm toggle on them, throw Infrig, then Benumb, then Sleet, then Heat Loss. Then I pop Aim, and drop Freeze Ray, my epic hold (Char), Bitter Ice Blast, and the Bitter Freeze Ray before the +acc, +dmg buff from Aim expires (10 seconds). I repeat the attack cycle three times, then repeat the debuff cycle after 30 seconds. Heat loss comes back in around 2 minutes.

Slotting the chance for hp proc makes it fun too

Right! If a Thugs Mastermind can summon henchmen that ride in on a motorcycle, they at least wouldn't be starting from nothing.
