    I would prefer all new zones be co-op zones, or shared non-pvp zones.

The format as it is now is kind of sound, but I feel less impetus to sit and watch it via UStream. Given the heavy emphasis on player interaction over presentation for the future makes me feel more at a loss for not attending. At least with the other way I felt I could get excited watching it and seeing the different upcoming tidbits. This way, I feel kind of helpless because I can't voice my thoughts or responses in any way like the attendees, the Ustream audience is just there to observe, our feedback, not that it doesn't matter but it just isn't heard.

    For the most part I don't think I walked away from this Summit, as just a Ustreamer, with anything that I didn't already know from Beta, with the exceptions of the Rad Armor and the post-apoc costume.

    I watched it all, and the powers panel was really the only part I enjoyed. I know what you mean, and it is really frustrating to have ideas, that are not heard or expressed just because we can't travel.

    Zwill also said they would post them all.

    Wanna know something funny? I feel like crap because I am towards the end of radiation treatment for laryngeal Cancer. I am super excited about Rad Melee/Armor and can't wait to have a Rad/Rad scrapper!

    No disappointment here. Synapse is still my favorite Dev, but Hawk is doing pretty good.

    Well, No answers on the two things I wanted to know the most. Will we ever get the rest of the CoT costumes, and will we get the Black Knight armor in the store?

    Please devs take pity on me and my inability to attend and answer these questions.

    I love getting the 100 merit cards. I have everything from them, but that card still makes me giggle.

    It ended up that it was poorly presented, and not really correct. The new faces in this proves that.

    Zwill's unprofessional post was one ot Tommy Lee Jones looking over the paper at someone who asked about female ports to male models iirc. I have a feeling GG knew that and could have answered her own question.

    Then Zwill said what he did about the new policy. It amounted to that females would get all the male/unisex items, AND unique parts of their own. This was on the heels (pardon the pun) of the female only CoL set.

    It got a little ugly, and responses by GG didn't help any, big surprise right?

    Any way, it all made it seem like males would not even get new faces or beards. That ended up not being the case.

    That is the reader's digest version.

    There's nothing wrong with being the only passenger on the bus as long as you know how to drive it.
    Actually you were on break when it happened, but he is not alone. There were several of us that were very vocal. The best place to see it is in the thread where Dink announced converting the jackets.

    He is not alone, just a bit late to the party.
  9. It is something I would be willing to do...if I was not so addicted to Super Packs.

    There was sort of a tribal pitch done, but it was poorly done. Sadly a lot of this is relying on the pitcher's public speaking abilities.

    Powers is the exception to that. I love Synapse, but I think he already had his heart set on Rad Melee/Armor.

    I am just not sure how we don't already have pulp costume options. It seems to me it is already well represented in the game. The Retro Sci Fi is like the final nail in the pulp coffin imo.

    I voted Aquatic on the ustream chat.

    I think it was the suggester being voted for as much as the suggested. Fab is pretty darn popular in the community.

    As Reppu would say, that was dodging the actual question. Which is actually fine as I think we have already kicked this poor dead horse too much.

    Now if lack of female porting becomes the reason the Black Knight armor is not given to the players I scream hypocrites at the top of my lung (yes I only have one! > ) because of the CoL set they released.

    I am not sure I could have been any less excited by that choice. No one suggested a Green Lantern Style Energy Armor. Made like the Victorian aura, or the Radiance parts of the Ascension armor?

    Half the stuff discussed can already be simulated with things in the creator. Oh well. Maybe we will get the torn spandex from the crazy peeps in FW.

    Would still think it was fair treatment though?

    You are correct. In that Synapse said we were suppose to pick three, but have kind of picked 4.

    I am pretty sure from the way Synapse was talking, we will get Rad Melee and Rad Armor at the same time.

    That panel was actually really fun to watch, and there some very cool ideas thrown out and accepted by the devs.

    I PMed the thread to a Dev who was awesome enough to reply. The way I took the reply was that there are so many new powers in development right now that it is not possible. However a time will come where it is. So, I think it will happen, it is just a matter of time and money like all things.

    That is why I want to see them in the market. Because I know if we are willing to pay for them, they will be more willing to develop them.

    According to the min/maxers arguing about how much staff sucks, StJ is the best there is for st damage.

    Also, I really don't care how they feel about the Black Knight costumes clipping. They should let us make that decision at this point. They lost that card to play when they put the high collar cape in the game, it clips with every shoulder option there is.

    I felt the same way. But as it turns out there are new male faces in the Sci Fi pack. Several of us were pretty ticked, and it became a flame war in Dink's thread.

On the other hand, if you want a new melee set, there was StJ and TW, and now Staff, to choose from. Splitting the vote, as it were.
    That is a very good point that I did not consider.

    I wonder if power pool customization will come up at any point. That would have been good for key note.
