More weapon and shield skins of all kinds, please. And backpacks, including quivers, thank you!

Maybe. Open beta Not Before the 3rd.

On my lvl 28 Trick Arrow/Archery Defender the Snowball animation (from the Holiday temp powers) is not animating at all when I activate it.

It’s not in open beta yet.

I’m quite sure it will be popular enough that we will see people advertising challenge mode teams in LFG. I also suspect that it won’t be so popular that other things will stop being advertised.

Could you clarify what you mean by "arbitrary measuring sticks"? And what you would like to see different. Just curious.

Weird, we did not have any trouble with him, but I don't recall the team composition. Doesn't bother me about the merit, but it would be cool if there was some way to Choose to take on the Monster version even for only the same rewards.

On my scrapper the first item was destroyed literally 2 SECONDS after initiating combat. I had absolutely no chance of protecting it.

Please for the love of all that's holy increase the HP on destructable items that you have to save, these missions are just an exercise in frustration for many characters.

On a Scrapper? Why not?

I think some particular builds might be able to leverage it in Damage+Endurance Drain, but yes I believe it is skippable if you don't want it.

It's definitely a joke. Whether or not it was intentional I'm not quite sure.

And I don’t know what to tell you besides that I don’t farm council maps and my most advanced characters are not challenged by almost any content at all. When you can solo +4/x8 Rularu on a Blaster there’s not much reason for cc or support to use their non damage powers. I’m very much looking forward to the new challenge modes.

Oh, yes, that’s true, but what I meant was if you ARE trying to play as Meat Shield, then having ranged Taunt at lower levels can be helpful. YMMV.

well, Taunt is still useful if you lack AoEs or Ranged abilities, but yea, generally.

It did, although it was different. The version of the trinity that existed at that time was Tank, Healer, Controller. That was from (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Everquest. World of Warcraft modified that to what we NOW think of as the trinity of Tank, Healer, Damage.

It’s not about wanting trinity play, I don’t want trinity play. I just want fights to last longer than 10 seconds and I want powers that don’t do damage to be valuable. I still want the same “everyone’s useful, no one’s required” style of balance that we currently have.

Well yeah I would expect them to go through HC QA first. I was just trying to come up with a replacement for turbo boost, and stealth seemed like an obvious way to go. Actually, now that I think about it, it’s such an obvious way to go, I wonder if there are any less obvious ways to go that would be cool. Teleportation and extra fly speed are already taken, and a -Fly power is unnecessary because the set already has one, but what else could it be?

I would really like to see the remaining Origin power pools (Gadgetry and Utility Belt) be implemented in the game. I understand there's a little trouble with Gadgetry, because the Jetpack extra tray power Turbo Boost really just is what Fly is now, with Afterburner free. So my suggestion is to give Jetpack an extra tray power called Stealth Mode that costs very little endurance and has a very short recharge and makes the user Invisible when toggled on.

They lied. Slot whatever you like. The only time I’ve ever seen it be an issue is with that one badge.

Whoa, who told you that? The only time I've seen anything like that is for The Really Hard Way attempts...

Just some I think. Pretty sure it's just errors in these sets.

I believe the only ways to do both are to either do one in Oro afterwards, or join someone else's team. There is a badge for doing all the content in Atlas, and it includes doing both Fields and Costel. I don't know if doing it on someone else's team counts for that though, maybe not.

Most greed based crimes aren't punished, like destroying economies, starting wars of aggression, stealing your employees wages, or cancelling City of Heroes. Wage theft is massively underreported.
