Your suggestion probably can't happen due to aforementioned reasons, but it is my dream to update those missions. I think a lot of people have issue with those.

To be fair, there are a lot of damaging powers that can only slot a single proc due to lack of accompanying debuffs, and a lot of debuff powers that are similar due to doing no damage. Actually, this would be super good on short recharge debuff powers. However, it would be entirely useless on toggle powers which brings us back to the newbie trap issue. I think this could be a really interesting PvP enhancement category for that only purchasable from PvP enhancement vendor I am in favor of. The expectation of aand demand for higher level of game mechanics engagement makes it being a newbie trap less of an issue there. That being said, I have no idea how useful it would be after the proc changes that will one day be so maybe it'll never happen anyway.

One of my favorite mastermind concepts I've seen. The split slime function sounds amazing, it's the kind of uniqueness that draws people to MMs to begin with. Whether or not it would end up being too potent would be the main concern, but we play MMs to get as many pets as possible. Big fan. It is highly unlikely another -res MM would be permitted, so maybe it would have to be limited to a single power if that stays. It would be cool to see more uncommon debuffs like -special, -debuff res, -endurance strength and the like. Elemental infusion is a very cool idea, a sort of swap ammo for the pets. I would also not be opposed to a power that simply summons all possible slime splits (like forcing the main pets to die but without killing them) for an effect similar to current necromancy Soul Extraction. And, if when used, the split-slime summons are already active, it could even merge them to create a powerful elemental slime. That's just my pitch though. This set is thematically malleable and could be magic, tech, or any character origin, which is important. It's a good draft for a set, +1

Ah, okay, I'm understanding the dilemma better now reading through the thread. I like a lot of the suggestions here already. I would also think the Dignified Combatant badge from Graham Easton would work well.

I like emphasis being placed on the newer arcs, and greater attention being given to them. As long as the badge can be granted by simply being apart of the team running the badge granting mission, rather than needing to own the contact, I think it's aligned with pretty much all accolade hunting endeavors. Sometimes you just hop on a team to get the badge, and move on. Immersion in character morality is really important, but if you're also running for a meta inclusion like a CC protection power, I don't these particular terms for briefly "compromising" your characters ethics are your utmost priority. And again, that's a cushioned concern when just joining in a team for the badge anyway. Vigilantes/rogues are already compromising their ethics for 98% of the game and it shakily works anyway (though more of that content is warmly welcome).

Seems more likely to happen on NPCs when tar is stacked.

This has been verified on beta as of now, will have live checked later. The Brute/Tanker Dark Mastery power Tar Patch will turn off at intervals, not affecting enemies properly for the entire duration. When watching the attributes Window, the -Res listed under **Tar** will disappear every other half second or so, neutering the powers effectiveness. This does not happen with controller versions. This behavior most predominantly affects **players** in PvP, but still happens against NPCs in all environments as well, with it's frequency being somewhat lower by comparison. Zoning seems to make it happen more often, but I can't confirm this. Update: Live behavior is the same. This power is not working correctly on live and beta.

That sounds similar to a little something something...

The Frigid Wind power for scrappers and stalkers does not deal damage In PvP. The crit damage currently remains.

I'm doubting it would be too much work, and with player participation it should be even easier. I could see it being mostly player submitted and dev reviewed or something of that nature. Perhaps with dev prompts. +1 for me.

No way.

We were in the works for creating a Trivia Night already, but before we knew it, the 4th was here. It seemed like a good idea to do something impromptu, so what better way to celebrate Independence Day by doing some Statesman trivia! How It Works Today at 2:10 PST (5:10 ET) we will do a short lasting round of Statesman based trivia through the Lore Discord! Future Trivia contests will be both in game and in discord, so keep an eye out in game as well. Event host will put a series of 10 questions into the Event Chat on Discord Participants have 4 seconds to type out an answer Answering correctly will bestow a point, and answering first while also correct awards 1/2 a point. Whoever has the most points in the end wins the most prizes, with all participants receiving consolation awards. Prizes 1st Place- 50 Mill, Hami enhancements, Scroll of Ruin Temporary Power 2nd Place- 50 Mill, Hami Enhancement Consolation Prize- Hami or Boosted Enhancement Rewards will be mailed to participants, with the Temporary Power requiring an in-game process. Rewards and the trivia process itself will evolve for future contests. Here's the invite to the Discord once again. See you around! https://discord.gg/cdMY6WgE?event=1258525178577817600

Boy, a lot sure happens in this City. You're doing your heroic duties, disembowling and head splitting a couple of Satanic gangsters, and you start to wonder... Hey, how did these losers get heat powers anyway? You can feel electrical synapses firing off in your brain, puzzled at the access of supernatural powers to common crooks. Failing middle school gives you fire powers? It hurts your head, and, if you're an AE farmer, your pride. As you attend to this query and focus, it begins to feels like the electricity is coursing through *your entire body*. Actually, now your entire body hurts. And through the spams of your eye you spot yet another bewilderment: a pile of autonomous metal scrapps. Blasting you with electrical bolts. What in the world... But there's a lot more to ponder than just those two tribulations. When you kilSkuls, just what gods were they worshipping? Did you know drugs can give you metaphysical transdimensional awareness? And what's the deal with magic anyway? Was it made, discovered, or just always around?? And why do my space aliens know it!? WHY IS THE HAMIDON A TENTACLES?? Well, we've established a little spot to help ask and answer those many mind-mulching questions. We call it The Loredom CoH Loredom is a non-server specific Discord for players to discuss and learn about all aspects of the City of Heroes storyline. We have various writers present, including most of the HC staff (and some others walking about). Our goal is to make all of the information, popular and niche, known and easy to discuss. Like how enhancements and salvage connect to the lore. _What's There_ -Easy Access to the Lore Bibles -Documented Battalion (and other unused) character designs -Access to i24 and other unreleased content -Breakdowns and Guides to complicated story concepts -Contact with experienced player writers, wiki contributors, forum guide makers, and dev members -Wiki spot -AE help and feedback -Compiled and organized places for discussion of enemy groups, objects, power systems -other stuff We'll also be hosting contests and trivia nights through the discord for any eager loreists to partake in. Trivia Prizes will be low, but frequent. Niche knowledge is welcome. If you're looking for a place to talk Trolls, interact with the devs, or get opinions on your fan writing, this is the place for you. Once again, the invite link is https://discord.com/invite/MXQDsPkUTK. Hope to see you there.

Lovely read, I love how dynamic and focused transitions from one event to the next is. Makes me wish Bios in game had this much space!

Hahaha yes! We're on the same page, Aeon! (Also if any of you are lurking you should definitely join the Lore discord in my signature, 10/10 has shrimp tacos)
