I've got some more pix from the panel at sdcc09, go right ahead and dig through them.

I have other pictures from the con but these are all coh oriented.

Also, I have a video clip that I'll be cleaning up.

Right now, tired and exhausted and stuff, so I don't trust myself to type a good rundown. Basically, the slideshow presentation had a nice little outline: we meet the 4 guys at the panel, they talked about how they got into COH's dev team. Then, we got a very nice blow by blow about the state of the game from pre-launch through now and beyond.

Q&A time included some requests for base love, suggestions about the game/costuming, and then... well, we had to leave the room and start chatting out in the hall.

What really impressed me while the guys were talking about their history in the industry is that we've got a HUGELY experienced team. Yeah they're hiring newcomers too but the core members of the dev team are almost ridiculously experienced people.

They're also very, very dedicated to this project. Every one of them spoke with respect toward the old Cryptic crew, and with deep appreciation of the fans that keep the game running.

Our money is our time investment, and they don't want to waste our time.

All in all it was a great - but too short - panel. I was very, very happy.

*edit*

Here is a clip from the discussion panel. 10 megs, go easy on my bandwidth and please do NOT hotlink to it. Download and move on thanks

Don't despair.

I have been led to believe there are some tails on the way. Not sure when, but when the Big Guy himself (Clayton) says so... we're gonna get something soon (tm).

While the panel did give us a teensy bit of extra info (which ... well, I don't wanna be the one getting modded since I know it was something that was NOT supposed to be slipped out... so I won't say) there was no timetable announced.

I have pix. I also have video of one particular bit, which I'll clean up and post shortly.

Be prepared to show off your Hijack report, describe your computer's innards, and explain when exactly and under what circumstances these crashes happen. I'm sure that the dev team will be interested but you need to be very, very specific. If they can't reproduce the crash it's on your end mostly...

I've only ever heard of the mission selection one, I think, and even then not often enough to think it's a pervasive problem.

I always save every email when I buy something. Always.

Myself, I just looked over my account and laughed, "perk, perk, perk, retail, perk, perk." It's like a chant.

Probably after GR. There IS supposed to be a LOT more to I16 than we've seen so far, like, a LOT. Ocho said that with those big eyes and eyebrows up, like, a LOT more. But I don't know that this would be among them.

SOMEtimes they look great. Others... not so much. There are so few people with the ability to put "natural" looking colors on those things. So you get yellow and green, pink and black... *shudder*.

An option for other patterns would rule, though. Stripes, snowflakes even...

Oooh. lol. Idea for a costume demonstration.

Have Subtle at one end, and then people emulating his costume to the side, but fading out until it's completely white...

Yeh I always thought Toxic and Psy were pretty much the unavoidable hazards in the game for everyone.

I don't know that we'll be getting much info more than we've already got, on GR at the presentation, but it'll be nice if they do. I did overhear Posi say several times that he can't really answer any questions at the booth about it, probably under the stern eye of the marketing guy

How old is his mac?

You probably want to take this question to the Mac section of the forums, at any rate.

Done in the right color combination, Valkyrie with Armor wings can be steampunkish. But yeah I do agree, more options for stuff.

Little draconic wings, for instance. or ones which don't have those awful spots on them...

Only in your mind, dear. The rest of us got the Bolero coat, which is in fact a coat, not a robe. Call it what you like but people want "robes" which look like they're at least a little connected on the sides/front. Bolero, while beautiful, and certianly one of my new favorite costume parts, is *not a robe*.

>_> Since when do most foes resist toxic? Now, I don't know, because I hardly ever play em, so I have little to compare...

But they probebly DID include the information for eventual pvp, why wouldn't they?

At least now, we'll be able to change them from those bananas of doom.

They have a presentation today.

I hope someone attends and shares all the juicy details with us!

I'll be there I have a feeling it'll turn into an impromptu meet n greet, I know there are others at the con but I don't know WHOOOOO they are

They updated the game regardless of the boxed set. So, the boxed set contains disks which can help if you ever need to reinstall, and yeah what Lucky said: you found a steal. If you don't already have codes for GVE and Architect edition, buy em. That's two months worth of game time, plus ingame goodies aplenty.

All current accounts can play everything that's been released. The boxed set coming up, Going Rogue, WILL probably require purchase to play in those new areas but that won't be until late this year or early next year.

Surprisingly, I wasn't pondering anything to do with Subtle...

Until y'all mentioned it

Where did Golden Girl go, exactly?

[/ QUOTE ]

She went back to the EU boards, where she was supposed to be. >_>

And now the boards will be combined... *sigh*

Or a thigh-high with a pattern applied? Because the thigh-highs are not found that way.

And you are talking about a player character, right? Not one of the npc's or signature characters in the game, who DO get customized - but un-gettable - pieces?

3? Hm...you're coming awfully close to the total number of sketches I've received from DN...

[/ QUOTE ]

Well by the same token I also paid for about 7 or 9 others by other people last year, for Winter. no money this year, so no more sketches.

I have like 120 of my one tiger girl Raanatani though, going over about 14 years worth of conventions...

If you have a handle you want, get it NOW, because you will not be allowed to redo your name.

I won one of the sketches today, they called me saying I got it

So here's Trickster's Jackalope by Nakayama

This makes 3 - my three fifties. Year before last was Winter's True Spirit, and the year before was Retail Retali8r.
