Just got a pre-download of issue 9 content when I logged out of the game. Thought everyone would like to know. As I recall it's usually only a few weeks from that to live. Course, ya neva know.

Cool.
I know Issue 9 is now open to everybody on Test as well, so go check it out! I've been in the closed beta for a few weeks, and there will be some pretty cool stuff to play with once the rest of the bugs get worked out...

Ah, I didn't realize it was already on test. I'm old and slow.

Are they going to have this out faster than I8? How long from introduction to this date so far? Less than 2 months?

let terror reign. From a few snippets i've seen on the main boards:
1) This stuff is expensive. example: a IO costs half a mill. (no, don't know level/whatever)
2) Thankfully, any mish complete can reward a salvage/recipe bit from pool B, instead of from story arc finishes.
3) Hami's been beaten hero side, not villain side yet. (abyss is off of GV)
4) green train goes to skyway now, and in Founders.
5) whole lot of badges going on. 71 new hero, 69 new villain from what i've seen. Most tied to Inventions (selling salvage, selling enhancements, selling recipes, selling inspirations, doing X sales (where X is an unknown number.. there's like 7 of them, highest known so far is 250))
6) flight poses are back. 4 emotes to choose from.
7) more new emotes.
8) Heroes can get HeatSeeker from States TF. Don't know if the Arachnos Flyer (that awards HeatSeeker) is fixed in GV or not.
9) Base bug is possibly fixed.
10) Cathedrial(sp) (the SG trial) of Pain Trial was fixed, but is down again, due to some bug.
11) did i mention lots of badges?
12) DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM.

Sounds like a pretty nice patch for badges and whatnot. I still would love to see some progressive zone refurbishment like Faultline. Maybe remake PP back into something cool. I always loved that place.

I love PP too, it is a shame there is never anyone there anymore,accept for missions. I have some fond memories of street hunting and river hunting.
the Devs should put some thought to making it a "fun"zone again. Boomtown too!

What I would still like to know is whether the classic Hamidon raids will still go on, or if Hamidon will now appear ONLY at the end of the task force.

i would say no the classic ones will not.
and i'm pretty sure hami will spawn like any other GM, randomly. no task forces involved.

If I remember correctly from that news article where Positron talked about it, you will have to clear out the Hami area first for the Hami to spawn. They are trying to make it into a pseudo task force.

you have to kill all 5 of the other Devouring Earth GMs in your zone and then Hami zones.
Hand of Blood Lvl X Spines/Regen Stalker...Triumph
Mystic Entity lvl 24 Katana/Regen Scrapper...Champion
Panzer Faust Lvl 23 SS/Energy Brute (retired)...Protector
Arbiter Darkwind Lvl 33 Thugs/Dark MM (retired)...Protector
Thanks to Mimori for the great sig

It's actually about 5 or so GM's right around where Hami spawns. So far on test, we didn't come up with a specific number, iirc. You can pull some of the outlying GM's down into the area if need be. We usually start off by farming a bunch of the GM's not in the Hami spawn radius for a while first to get the new 'Essence of Earth' inpiration drops which will protect you from yellow mito damage for 60 seconds. After everybody gets some, then we've moved in to make him spawn. Also, after Hami spawns, all the other GM's go away, so you can't grief a raid by aggroing them into the goo.
Some real quick basics of the new hami:
1) Currently only 50 heroes can be in the Hive/Abyss at a time. Hive2, etc. spawns after 30 or so heroes. The one successful hero raid was accomplished with just the 50, so it's possible.
2) There are now 6 yellow mitos, 6 blue, and 6 green, and they all have crazy range now. The yellows are highly resistant to ranged attacks (99.9), but have little to no melee protection. The blues have melee resistance, but not ranged. The greens seem to have low defenses to both types, but can mez the heck out of ya, as well as heal the blues and yellows.
3) One of the mitos have a new AoE that has a -heal among other things, so the healing blanket approach dosen't work, at least during the mito phase.
4) After the mitos are cleared, hami will respawn another 18 at 75% , 50%, and again at 25% health. Though Hami will heal up while you're dealing with the new mitos, they won't respawn every time he hits 75%, etc, just the first time.
5) I believe that Hami itself is highly resistant to holds now, but if a tank can hold his aggro, then he can be pummled regularly.

When I started CoH there was no Hollows and Perez was the place to be. That place was always packed and you could find a good street group to make the rounds and level fast.
Whenever I make an alt, I skill the Hollows and head straight to KR and PP for some good times. Two of the best lower level zones in Paragon City.

You know I have never been a huge fan of playing in PP. I think it is a cool idea and all. But I wish they would have done more with it. Had some contacts in there and such. To me the best places to play are Croatoa,Faultline,Striga,Hollows just because their stories are based in that zone and revolve around that zone. Also I think they could do alot with Boomtown. It just sits there empty most of the time. Eden is another one that needs work.

I spent a couple hours on test today, with about 10 spent in the hive (had to log, admins were shutting it down for daily maintenance) and New Hami was sitting there with no DE in the entire zone. not sure if someone spawned it then gave up and left or what, but he looks sweet. I will post a guide about the new uses of the university/wentworths soon.
