Thats only a downside if you are already at 40 or near it. For those of us heading up that way(level 30) it gives us time to get there with something more at the end. I dont know does Electric Brute sound way to much like a shaving jingle or is it just me?

That's cool. We're getting the biggest update, of course, since it's Issue 1 for us. The Patron powers should be cool. All the extra missions and such should be really neat. CoH really should get like Rogue Island Raid missions or something like that, similar to our Raid type missions.

Hey, now i know what this is in the screenshot i took a while back. Looks like the genetic engineered Arachnoid. Darn, was hoping that it may be a new AT for use to actually use. who knows, maybe we'll get something cool like that to use as well.

Thug pets? Do I get to Control 50cent and have him rap me a solo while stompin' some Hellions?
Couldn't resist..
 I taste like Bread.
I am a staple in almost everyone's diet. Friends like me are a complement to any other friends I get on with almost everyone, remaining mostly in the background, but providing substance when it would otherwise be lacking. What Flavour Are You?

I imagine that with all the updated powersets graphics and new items, they will also be including a free respect with the update. It's nice to know this but it is a bummer if it doesn't come out until April ;(
