That is a lot of fun, certainly. It's a nice add-on to most people's first Big Boss Fight.

That would certainly be an interesting possibility. I'll be curious to see, again, how "canonical" it will all be treated.

Artillery MKV:

My latest creation on Freedom: a Dark/Dark Tanker named Terrifying Aspect.

I have NO idea how that name was available!

*** Dave:

Yeah, my play time has been limited by other commitments, by a sore arm, and by incoming relatives. :-)

Margie and I have a Mind Blaster / Fire Scrapper duo slowly rising in rank, and are enjoying both a lot. Of course, it's amusing to see how many other (by name, if not by auras) Mind Blaster and Fire Scrappers there are running around Atlas.

Margie the Wife:

Having fun with I12, though arm injuries and other commitments have cut into our play time. If anyone is interested in signing up or re-up, they have some good referral bonuses for enticing friends back into the fold.

*** Dave:

It wasn't. Of course, we've gone through some creative management changes since then.

Doyce:

I somehow fail to recall Ancient Greece being on the list of new zones for CoH, a year ago.

*** Dave:

That's going to be the trick. I would assume there would have to be some moderation to avoid copyright/trademark infringement, obscenity, canon-breaking info ("Yes, it's true, Statesman is really a Rikti!"), etc. How they will do this (and where the dividing lines will be between permissable and not remains be seen.

So, for example, it's possible you could adapt a "favorite comic book story" for CoX -- bearing in mind that said stories, stripped of their particular characters, tend to be more generic than one would think.

We'll see.

*** Dave:

See, that's my thought -- this stuff is coming out Real Soon Now -- I'd just as soon invest playing time into characters that can advance, rather than be reset.

On the other hand, Margie appears to be having a lot of fun ...

Hmm, I started this last night - we'll see how far I get before I decide to just wait for the release.

Avocet:

Will the content be monitored, or will people be able to adapt their favorite comic book stories for CoX?

I will be very interested to see how this is implemented. It could be lame ("Hey, look, yet another generic warehouse mission"), or it could be seriously interesting.

Margie is having too much fun with names.

"Black and Blue Widow"
"Burning Brush" (Spines/Fire scrapper)

Margie the Wife:

I haven't seen that tile yet, but then I haven't spent much time in Cimerora. I may not got back for a while since high traffic zones like Cimerora are City of Lag right now in open beta.

On the other had had fun last night with my bumped-to-50 Mace/Will Power brute in the Riki War Zone. I also got Black and Blue Widow up to 7 - much fun with a cool melee/range mix powerset.

Continued

Once you are inside the Midnight Club, you'll be in the lobby for your zone's University entrance. That means 3 lobby's for the hero side which lead to an entry hall with 3 entrances. And only 1 for the Villain side which leads to an entry hall with 1 entrance.. Your last objective is to talk to a Midnighter representative in a lobby. He's in one of the Hero Side lobbies. It's the leftmost door as you enter the hero's entry hall.

Towards the back of the Lobbies is a set of double doors. They lead to the common area of the Zone. The common area may seem like a maze, but it's not. It's based on the CoT Oranbega map blocks. There are 5 rooms along a central corridor. 2 on either side of the corridor leading to a circular meeting room at the end.

As you exit the entry way from the Lobbies, there is Pillar of Ice and Flame to your left or right. It's in an alcove between the Hero and Villan entry ways. As you leave the entry ways you'll see a Midnighter against the wall to your right or left. Beyond him, you'll see a column embedded 1/2 into the wall. On the other side of that column is a small alcove. In that alcove, you'll see the Pillar of Ice and Flame. That is your entry way into Cimerora.

To further orient you, turn around you'll see the main corridor and the meeting room at the far end. You entry hall is one of the rooms in the common area. The room across the corridor is your counterparts' entry hall which heads to their zone lobby(s). Up the corridor aways are two storage rooms with books, books and various trinkets. And as I've mentioned, at the end of the corridor is a big circular meeting mall with a big circular table and chairs.

That should get you into Cimerora - have fun

To get to Cimerora you must first join the midnight club. Quoting from Fuzun mini-guide

Villains talk to Ashley McKnight who' s standing by a set of stairs outside of the University in Cap Au Diable. It's the west end of the building that's in the NE corner of the university plaza area. You need to be level 30+ to b able to do the Midnight's Hand arc.

Heroes talk to Montague Castanella at the Steel Canyon University. He's inside the main building, He;s in the Library section to your right as you enter the University building. He's immediately to your left as you enter the Library section. You need to be level 10-20 to be able to do the Lost and Found arc. IF you are over level 25, you can Flashback via Ourborous or a Pillar of Ice and Flame. Lost and Found is in the level 20-24 band.

I think they may have changed the level limit in the last patch, so heroes can get Montague's arc at any level.
