I made it, too! Yay! Thanks, Vee, Lyle and Scottybones.
Did the costume mish, but it was getting too late for an aura mish. I'm gonna work on the costume this morning.
Can't wait to see what Vee comes up with, too.

Wow! Got invited to a Hess TF last night. Wow. I see why that one is said to be so cool.
The ending battle is in a very cool set and there are a couple of very cool touches. Even better, my team was totally buff-tastic with a kinetics def, a fire/kin controller, an empathy def, Prism plus a scrapper and a tank. We had recovery aura, accererate metabolism and grant speed flying. Combine all those recharge buffs with Prism's newly acquired Hasten, I almost had two phantom armies going at once! Almost. Too bad there's no recharge buff enhancement, because I'd give AM a couple slot of that.
Oh, and I got a few SO drops! Now I'm just hoping I can afford to maintain them.
It's also a very, very quick TF. 8 - 10 missions but four of them can be very quick (we literally finished each of them in under a minute). The first one is long (as always), the second one is also big, but it can be ninja'ed, the four in the middle are quick and the last two can take a little while. My "on crack" team finished the whole thing under two hours.
Prism should have it unlocked by the weekend... anyone up for striking a blow to the council this weekend?
(Also on Protector, Subterfuge Kid should have the Cave unlocked soon... two missions left.)

I'm in for both!
Grev and Condo need to get Hess & Bastion in soon or we're both going to outlevel it.

Hmm, they're claiming of signs that I4 is on test... no one has come back after claiming that they were waiting for the DL to finish, however so I must conclude that THERE IS NO I4, THE DOWNLOAD IS A TRAP. RUN! RUN! ALL WHO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST TEST SERVER PATCH NEVER COME BACK!

I'm downloading the test server patch even as I type. The window says that I4 is now live on the test server. They also appear to have made a number of changes to pwoers. Looks like Gravity Controller (knock, knock....are you listening Blue!) as well as Kinetic and Dark Defenders now do more damage/have greater effect on villains. Lots of changes so it will take a while to figure them all out. Coalition chat is also live on test server. If I don't come back, send a search & rescue party!

I try going through the new stuff at my blog . I'll probably put up some screen shots of new costume options tonight.

Don't worry Vee. The test server isn't working anyway. It only took about 5 minutes for me to download the patch but I have yet (after 20 more minutes) been able to get into the server. Login server unavailable my nass.

I'm in as Shadow Lad2, but I can't move anywhere. None of the key commands are working, but other people seem to be doing OK.

The arena's very cool, but it's not working at the moment. I'm gonna check out the new costume creator now.

Well I got in, got bored, logged out. Its no fun, to me, messing with a character you already have created to check out the different costume choices. I did like the addition of the uniform jacket, open or closed, for men. I may consider changing EAP's suit jacket to an uniform one. I really wish they would add the ability to create characters on the server.
Didn't even bother checking out the arena.

Yes, you can. I just created Rough Trade. Though despite all the new choices, I didn't use any of them. There are some nice new additions, but still no bare legs and no kilts. The robes are disappointing -- just two Asian ones. They're nice, but I was hoping for long mage robes. Didn't see trenchcoats, either, and I thought those were coming. The customization scales are kind of cool. Fanboys won't be able to go too overborad with their women's chests.

It would appear the copy function may be down. The version of Shadow Lad I sent over more than half an hour ago still hasn't arrived, though maybe I need to sign off completely.

It could just be that scores and scores of people are doing the same and the pipeline is jammed. On the live server they were talking about how congested the test server was this afternooon.

You're right. He finally made it. Now, I'm gonna be Shadow Lad3 if anyone signs on.

Okay, that's weird. I remember you used to be able to create new characters but for a long time now, even though I have at least 3 if not 4 empty slots it doesn't give me the option to create a new character. My Create Character button just stays dark, clicking on it does nothing and hovering over it doesn't highlight it either. I just figured they had deactivated that option.

OK, I'm off the test server. If you can't do arena yet, I'm not going to spend much time there.

Not all that impressed with the new sizing options. Some neat things but I can't make Chuck look like BB!

That's too bad -- how'd he look when you expanded the waist but shrank the chest and shoulders?
Anyway, since I couldn't do arena, and the new costume options didn't interest me that much, I gave Princess some lovin' and got her up to 25 with a great team (and a member who missions with 26s and 27s when she was 24 -- great XP!). I'll back off on Shadow Lad until we do Hess and Bastion, though Bastion goes through 31, and he's only one bubble into 30, so he should be OK for a while.

Well, I like the new costume options, though I'm not sure if some of the cool options apply to any of my characters. The long skirts would be great for a mystic, Mme Xanadu type character, but I don't have a character like that since that sort of costume was never available. (Of course, I have been thinking of making a dark/elect def named The Fabulist, a storyteller who's stories came to life.)
The slider has some nice potential, especially since the height slide did odd things to porpotions and some of my shorter women have incredibly narrow waists. I'm gonna have to raise money in the Hollows, to fix that.
Unfortunately, I'm still lacking in ideas for Prism Lord's level 30 costume and none of the new options suggest another costume for my mod heroine.
I'm jazzed about the new team search option. Hopefully this will make teaming easier, tho I still wish groups could have a similar tool for recruitment.

Hmm, reading your post I realized I never checked out the female and huge options on the costumes. I'll have to take a look for Mysa's upcoming lvl 30 costume.
