Without a few people to actually play them, we're just screaming into the void. Thank you my friend!

“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”

ah ha! now i know! does not mean i won't disobey it though.

What is the ocelot rule?

I do have other duplicates of powersets (lots of fire and ice blast, nature affinity, invulnerability, shield defense, storm summoning), but if I'm paying attention, I'll switch up the pairings and archetypes.

Winter Horde, Tuatha de Dannon (reindeer!), Fir Bolg, Cabal (since OP mentioned Halloween as well) are all available as enemy groups, plus infinite options to make your own. Baby New Year's ice skating map, Frostfire's ice skating map, and all the Croatoa outdoor maps are available under the Unique tab. 🎅 🎄 🎃 👻

You know, you could write your own stuff in AE, that way it's catered to your exact tastes.

You can get the Winter Lord pet from the START vendor's list of Vanity Pets. The Candy Keeper gives the player costume, if you want.

i will try my best to be there for 1/12 on torch. great idea!

I didn't realize I had two water/poison corrupters until the second was lvl 50 with incarnates. It was three years apart, and the character concepts were very funny to me, but I don't even like the powerset combo that much. Yup, that's how I roll. 🤪

Yeah i recall the reason at the time being that it would look awful for characters who kick, like Martial Arts, because the legs would be coming out all over. NPCs like CoT and the Carnie Illusionists don't have legs or kicking powers to worry about, so the whole body model is the skirt. I'm curious, if a Martial Arts or Martial Assault toon has the temp costume on and activates a power, what does it look like? I don't think I've ever seen a martial artist on Homecoming, so I don't know how widespread of an effect this would have, but, I remember the reason given at the time was that the (live) team wanted to have as professional a product out as possible.

Ranged melee!

I kind of like the early introduction to a mechanic that requires players to listen, read instructions, and pay attention, or, suffer low-stakes consequences for not doing so.

All good, i knew what you meant!
