Is this the right forum for sharing little drabbles of CoH fanfiction and whatnot that we wrote over the years? Because I've set three campaigns in the tangle of alternate dimensions connected to Primal Earth, and I've created plenty of stuff over the years that I wouldn't mind sharing. What you have to understand is that what Cassandra saw is what happened in reality. That is, what happened in reality after the Well of the Furies was done changing history. What happened was, Stefan Richter dragged Marcus Cole to the only thing in the world that could heal his shattered body, undid the seals that had been placed on it over the last eighteen centuries to keep it from destroying the world, and brought him in. And then the Well of the Furies said, "Great. Now. I need one of you to be the ultimate manifestation of evil in the world and one of you to be the ultimate manifestation of good." "So." "Choose." And then Stefan Richter punched Marcus Cole in the face. The Well of the Furies interpreted that, very differently, from how Stefan Richter and Marcus Cole interpret that moment, to this day. What makes Praetoria different is that, posed with the exact same question, Marcus Cole drew his gun and shot Stefan Richter in the head. To which the Well said, "Great job, asshole. What, am I supposed to make you both?" "Yes." "Actually, that could work..."

Something else people don't know - all the level-up Arbiters are hockey players.

I am *fairly* certain that he is not. Maybe that description should be changed? Edit: More highly questionable friend/foe designations. Further edit - the souvenir text is all bold. Looks like someone forgot a close tag. Sorry, should I be pointing these things out? I worry I'm being too picky by going over the text like this.

I guess the Tuesday maintenance isn't a patch? I just tried it out when the servers came back up and I'm still getting the same behavior from Blind and Deceive. Are we waiting for the next major patch, or is there going to be a quicker fix? Sorry for being impatient on this.

A friend (@ViciousCabaret) of mine (@Michelle Angelmark) was the only controller on a Manticore Task Force, and found that they were unable to hold Paragon Protector bosses, even when stacking multiple casts of [Blind] on them. They asked me to check with my own Illusion controller if things were working normally, and with [Power Analyzer] I found that casts of the same hold no longer stacked magnitude - the first hold 'wears off' as soon as the second is cast, even if the first one would have lasted for an entire 30 seconds longer if I had just waited (and did last 30 seconds longer when I did wait after holding it on the exact same mob). This renders Controllers, or at least Illusion Controllers using Blind, unable to hold bosses without getting a proc. Is this intended behavior? It seems significant enough that I think it'd be mentioned in a patch. Edit: Three controllers on Everlasting, local names Patric.AI, Pierrette, and Kakadu, tested this on several bosses. The same power cast by different people does stack magnitude on the same boss, but the same power cast by the same person only resets the duration rather than stacking. Officially, I'm not *opposed* to this change - as someone with a Mind Dominator main on Live, crowd control is ridiculously overpowered in this game - but this seems like a major change that I doubt would be intentionally pushed with no discussion.

Someone going by "Battle Girl Mio" disappeared years ago during a time that I was really worried about her. I'm sorry to make this a separate topic, but I'm seriously worried about her from what she was saying at the time. If *anyone* knows how to get in touch with her, tell her that @TalKaline or "Alicia Carroll" is looking for her on this server. I miss her so much and I'm scared that something might have happened to her.
