I don't believe any of the initial Origin contacts are, well, contacts anymore. Pretty sure Matthew Habashy is the only contact for levels 1-4 now. No, they still work, you can still walk up to them if you have the "right" origin and level range, and they'll still give you missions. They just aren't handed to you as initial contacts anymore. Good to know. Paragonwiki states they were disabled in Issue 21, so I guess SCORE reenabled them?

Added, thank you!

There are lots of new and returning players who weren't around with the game all the way till sunset, and many of them have questions about when things happened and whether things are SCORE additions or were added after they stopped playing. So I thought I'd make a (not so) short list of all the big features and changes that came with each issue. I know I probably missed a lot (like Paragon Market items that aren't given patch notes), so please feel free to let me know if something is missing and you think it's significant enough to add a bullet point for.

How does that work with corruptors / masterminds going FF? Are their FF only 58% as good as defenders? No, this was specifically relating to damage. All the Archetypes have damage modifiers for ranged and melee damage; for Blasters, their modifier for Ranged damage is 1.125, while Defender's is 0.65. At level 50, this translates to an attack with a damage scale of 1, with no buffs or enhancements, doing 62.56 damage for Blasters and 36.15 for Defenders. Like Adeon said, Mastermind and Corruptor (and Controller) Defense Buffs (so the two shields and Dispersion Bubble) function at 75% of Defender Defense Buffs.

The Vigilance damage buff also scales with level and doesn't reach it's 30%-while-solo value until level 20. It scales down by about 1/3 per teammate; once you have 3 teammates, it's gone.

Just wanted to say that this is no longer the case; Issue 24 added AT-scaled psuedopets for every blast power that used them.

Damage scales with level, and the ATs don't reach their actual damage modifiers until level 20. At level 1, everyone's damage is practically the same, but by level 20, Defenders are doing about 58% of Blaster damage.

Did the Issue 24 Nuke changes not make it to SCORE's Issue 25? I thought the full endurance drain was removed from these. If so, even at one slot it's still a really good tohit debuff if nothing else.

Can't look it up in-game right now, and Pet powers can't be viewed on City of Data through Wayback machine, so I'm going off an old spreadsheet I had made to answer your questions. Steamy Mist and Arctic Fog are almost identical, except that Steamy Mist resists and protects against Confusion, while Arctic Fog resists Slows. Sleet and Freezing Rain are similar in effects, however a Defender version of the Sleet pet was never made, so Freezing Rain does everything Sleet does, but better. I prefer Storm because I like to play alone a lot and it's just more useful for me in that sense, but Cold is also a great set. It's all about what you want your focus to be when you play, though. If you want to focus on your foes and maybe that just happens to make your team a little safer, then Storm. If you want to more directly protect your teammates while also making life harder for your enemies, then Cold.

There's actually a Jello Shooters channel and Supergroup in-game. I was friends on FB with Charlie and Kyo at some point, but sometime in the last 7 years they must've done some cleaning out of their friends lists.

I'm wondering how well a Kin/Elec would work since Transference is amazing at reducing a Target's End, but Kin lacks a method of keeping the target's End suppressed. Also Kin loves being in close, and Kin helps alleviate the generally weak damage that Defender attacks are saddled with. I had an Elec/Kin Corruptor and playing it made me wish I was dead. I don't know what it was about the combo, but I hated it from level 1 to level 50. The damage, even with Kin, just never felt satisfying. And running in to Fulcrum Shift+Short Circuit was very unsafe a lot of the time.

YES! Probability Manipulation for Defenders/Controllers/Corruptors/Masterminds http://web.archive.org/web/20120905041804/http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=249717 Magnetism for Defenders/Controllers/Corruptors/Masterminds http://web.archive.org/web/20120905042054/http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=249719 Hyper-Intellect for Defenders/Controllers/Corruptors/Masterminds http://web.archive.org/web/20120905224442/http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=289632 I also wanted kind of like... Epic Powersets for each AT, as well. And by Epic, I don't mean OP, I meant you had to do something in-game to earn them, kind of like getting a level 50 to unlock the Epic ATs. Unfortunately, I've misplaced all the info I had on these ideas, so I'm going to have to go off memory and can't remember all of them. Carnival Performers for Masterminds 3 Clowns who attack with bats and seltzer water, light defense, disorients and -Damage aura for protection. 2 Acrobats with MA and higher defense. 1 Strongman with a Titan Weapon mallot. Biological Control for Dominators Less flashy set, the idea behind it was having control over bodily functions like releasing chemicals in the brain that cause sleep, upsetting inner ear balance to make enemies vomit (like Poison Trap) or become disoriented or fall down(KD), causing excessive sweating for like an AoE Heat Exhaustion, etc. Most attacks would cause -regen/-recovery. Hellfire Attacks for Corruptors Basically an attack set based around the attacks in Demon Summoning. It would include those whip attacks, but then other more blast-y looking attacks. Fire/Toxic damage, -Res on most attacks. I also planned it having some kind of "corrupting" effect on the Corruptor using it, basically exposure to hellfire affected the Corruptor in some way that was both a buff and a debuff, but I can't remember what I settled on. Light Bending for Defenders Kind of the opposite of Dark Miasma. +ToHit/+Perception for allies, a little -ToHit on enemies, +Defense on allies, group invisibility, a new "reflect" mechanic to return some damage dealt. Savage Melee for Brutes The name was a coincidence but the idea was that it would be a set more affected by Rage than others. I think my idea was that once Rage had reached a certain percent, the ST attacks would redirect to AoEs with different animations. Scythe for Stalkers Kind of Stalkers' version of Titan Weapons in the sense that it would have more AoEs than typical on a Stalker, but would have a "Marked for Death" effect that would boost your damage against foes marked for death, rather than Momentum. Throwing Blades for Scrappers The idea here was that the attacks would redirect to one of two different attacks depending on your distance from your foe. Ranged versions that did less damage and a little DoT, and Melee versions that did more damage and lowered Defense. I can't remember what I had for Controllers, Tankers and Blasters. :( And sort of related, I also wanted a Sand Armor set that was mostly just a reskinned Stone Armor for Stalkers, replacing the rocky graphics with effects in game that already looked kind of sand-y or wind-y. Mud Pots would be more like quicksand (in theme, not the actual Quicksand power). I thiiink I planned to replace Granite Armor with a Sand Clone, which was basically like the Phantasm but appearing to have all the Sand Armor toggles on. It would be very tough, no real attacks but a damage/taunt aura and AoE taunts.

Defenders DO have the highest EndDrain modifier, 1.25 compared to Corruptors 1.1 and Blasters 1.0, but Elec Blast doesn't use the EndDrain tables. It uses the Ones tables, so Elec Blast drains the same on all ATs.

Ice Control would also like this for it's AoE Sleep that includes a teeny tiny pointless tic of damage. Also, that single tic of damage seems to be the only reason Flash Freeze recharges in 90 seconds, instead of 45 seconds like Mind Control's Mass Hypnosis.

We haven't had any info shared about powersets, but there was an announcement a little over a week ago with numbers for archetypes.

Can't get in to the rest too much, as I don't have much experience with the set, however, I think the intended secondary effect of Mind Control was the lack of positional attack typing, so the only way to avoid Mind Control's effects were to have either a buff to Base Defense or a source of Psionic Defense. It's not great, but... it's there.

The descriptions and data for the Origin pool powers was in the Issue 24 pigg files that were on Test when the game closed, yes. However, it's likely that they still need a lot of GFX work to be playable, and the game isn't at a stable enough point that the folks working on it will make finishing them a priority just yet. Specifically to answer your question, I'm sure there are definitely plans to include them, but if it were easy we'd probably already have them.

I have only made one NEW character, a Nature Affinity user since I was still trying to come up with a concept for one when the game closed and never got to really use it outside of the Test Server. Besides that one, I've just been remaking old characters, but several with new/changed powersets that I kind of wanted to reroll them with years ago anyway, but didn't want to lose the time I had invested in them. WELP...

I'm also not a fan of the change, but not because it's annoying. I just always felt, and could have sworn it was also the opinion of the original devs, that the toggles dropping when a target dies was intended to be a balancing point between toggle debuffs and click debuffs. I know it was brought up often about how frustrating it was for the anchor to be killed, and I have a vague memory of a redname saying that was the point, strategy/teamwork was necessary to leverage them and that was intended. BUT it's been 7 years, so who knows.

Fearsome Stare is for both sets is a 45 degree cone with a 70 foot range. And I wouldn't drop either version from a build. It's just too useful of a power.

I realize the graphic effects may not look it, but Living Shadows is actually a wider cone than Fearsome Stare.

Isn't Tanker's Electric Armor an all resistance set? Or do you mean no heal either? Because I think it used to have no heal, but was considered the worst armor set until the heal was added.
