STAY BACK, YOU FOOL! YOU'RE A DEFENDER! SURELY YOU CAN'T HOPE TO TANK THIS THREAD!

Yeah, that's Synapse's job...

The original Task Force Datamine took 3 months to finish. That was to go over 2 months worth of data.

We now have 18 months worth of data. We looked for a more effecient solution, but our estimates still come out at 2 years to datamine and get you your badges.

...don't worry kids, they'll just invite us all into the CoV Beta and we'll forget all hard feelings.




Right?

THIGHS FROM YOUR GRAVE!!!

Classic!

*checks his thighs real quick*

Whoa! It has risen! With all this talk about Beta invites, no one seems to care about Issue #5!

[ QUOTE ]
The sounds were a complete letdown.

[/ QUOTE ]

That sums up my opinion on sonics. Also, why isn't there a secondary for this? Try to imagine Banshee from Xmen with gadgets or an ice sword. Pretty lame.

Maybe I am just a purist, but when you say I can make a sonics character, I WANT TO MAKE A SONIC CHARACTER. Not a sonics/flame sword person.

Just my opinion.

PnP rules. God I miss those days. Nothing beats a great group of people to roleplay with.... heck even Marvel RPG was a good time.

I did say one other thing - that dropped Enhancements are useful only for what you can sell them for - because everyone purchases their Enhancements at the store (or at least most of them).

[/ QUOTE ]

Not true, I often slot enhancements I have gotten from a drop. I would rather run lots of missions and spend time playing the game than shopping and making sure my enh are always green.

I also give away SO's to people on my team who are the same origin all the time .

[/ QUOTE ]

DITTO. Id rather play the game than sit around and trade/sell enhancements.

I dont recall Superman doing much shopping.

SWEET Baby JEEBUS! Tell me when! Tell me when!

New zone – Croatoa. Supposedly leaked photos indicate that it is a city zone with the third university (two are under construction on live right now). The level range is 25-35. According to a member of the forums who has supposedly seen it, the zone is HUGE. There is no definite information on this, so consider the above educated speculation. This zone will include new missions, contacts, TFs, etc. following the example set by Striga Isle.

[/ QUOTE ]

There is a vicious rumor going around that this zone has been pulled from I5...anybody confirm or deny this?

[/ QUOTE ]

The zone is still in Issue 5 (it's the bulk of issue 5, as Striga was for issue 3). The University is still in Croatoa, but alas the Skills System tied to it is not (its currently undergoing a redesign). So to clear up: Skills pulled from Issue 5. Croatoa is not.

[/ QUOTE ]

Man, I'd just kill to here about what ONE of the skills they were working on that they decided was not fun. It would be interesting to see if they did a poll and al of us voted on if it would be "fun" or not.

I'm sure some of the skills would be like "detective" or "politician" or something.

I hear voices in my head when I squeeze my eyes real tight. I write what those voices tell me on parchment with a raven quill using specially prepared ink from Tasmania. Then I let the parchment bathe in moonlight for two days, after which I transcribe the words to my computer. The result is pure creativity.

When the above process fails me, I inflict head wounds upon myself... this never fails.

Sweet. Baby. Jeebus.

Any day of the week old man! Choose your weapon.... RIFTS, D&D, Toon, MERP....

So what's with this Avialax? Do i have to unlock them to play them? Or is this something my current character can become?

KHELDIANS R TEH SUXXORR

[/ QUOTE ]

My personally? I'd have to agree with this comment (for once!).

I think the whole "Kheldian" thing is a joke. They should have slated those powers for something more "comic styled". I mean honestly folks, I'm not even remotely impressed with the graphics or "look" of Kheldian.

Now, Incarnates, Coralax, and Aviax (sp?), that is something that has gotten my attention!

[ QUOTE ]
Fixed---just for you and my *peace* of mind.

Okay, fixed again. Grrr!

Why is it that emails and message board posts are so conducive to errors. Perhaps just typing too fast and not taking the time to read the stuff over?

Really makes me grit my teeth.

Of COH and COV of course. This was Sunday at the Wizard World Convention and I had pre prepped a few questions to ask him as I went there.

Unfortunately, I seemed to have caught him in a very pissy mood as he wasn't as much enthusiastic as he was last year. I was originally going to post this on Sunday the day I got back from Wizard World but my internet went down so I'm posting it now.

Question 1: Customizable Weapons - Possibly after COV

Question 2: Vehicles - Separate Expansion as in no Issue 5-10

Question 3: COV or COH having weather patterns like snow, rain, etc. - NO

Question 4: *Idea I thought of* Doubling up AT's so that you can have a MA scrapper with a few Katana powers or a Fire blaster with a few Ice powers, hence doubling up into dual powersets. It's an idea they hadn't thought up of so whether they will think about it remains to be seen.

Question 5: Sound Effects like voices or monologues - No due to localization issues when games go to Germany, Korea, etc.

Question 6: Possible AT to turn into a supernatural being I.E. Hulk, Werewolf, etc. - No, at least until certain powersets are fixed or added.

Question 7: Missions sort of like in Spider-man 2 where you rescue people off of buildings? - Yes in that there will be more dynamic missions, maybe not exactly as described but at least more diverse.

Question 8: Destroyable buildings? - Instanced Missions so Yes!

Question 9: Jetpacks made available in general for everyday use? - (Please stop asking him this question as he rolled his eyes when I asked that) NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question 10: What cool things can we expect from skills? - Not designed yet, having a lot of trouble making skills fun. (Recommend getting suggestions from the fans.)

Question 11: A chance to enter a hero hall of fame? - Yes, not soon but someday.

Question 12: Website feature to finally be incorporated into the game? -Not anytime in the near future.

Question 13: (Asked this one by accident) Plans to shrink down task forces and make cooler ones like Ernesto Hess? - Yes

So there you have it folks! My own personal conclusion from all this?

- Issue 5 will be our last big patch before COV

- COV is the main entree for the day and a lot of design is being focused on COV at the moment.

- More focus on adding other powersets like the much vaunted Scrapper street fighting etc.

- A lot of focus on tweaking things so they are a bit more balanced.

- Expect to see the cool features AFTER COV is released.


Chew on that and enjoy! (P.S. Sorry States if you were having a bad day or something, thanks for answering my questions though.)

That's the curse statesman and arachnos bear... the curse of supreme power.

* Manticore also dropped that Statesman has a unique ability which is represented on his Heroclix figure: The lightning of Zeus.

[/ QUOTE ]

only one problem......that lightning bolt on the figure is on ALL Heroclix figures. It shows how many attacks that figure can make on his turn. just FYI

[/ QUOTE ]

I was not referring to his attacks. I was referring to Quake and Pulse Wave. I baked those into the design of his dial to represent his ability to call upon the Lightning of Zeus.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, Incarnate refers to a deity. Statesman is "Zeus Incarnate" Zeus in the Flesh. Zeus inhabits the body of Statesman.

Likely hades inhabits the body of Lord Recluse.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ugh. C'mon? Zeus is in States? Please tell me this isnt so. First the lame Kheldians and then this?

Yep, we're alternating weeks for now. Next PT should be out next Wednesday.

Please tell me it is Issue 5 related Gil?

Sweet comic but I wish it just didnt end in a cliffhanger!

No, I am talking about the ones that knew, and still came to Virtue to grief. Happens, some people only find real pleasure in the displeasure of others. As to grinding to get to Beta levels, well, I see mostly 10+ characters still grinding away, ah well. I suppose when they said unofficial RP server, the emphasis was on "unofficial". Just isn't much RPing happening IMHO. I still hold out hope tho, that alot of them were not Preorders and are awaiting the launch.

*fingers crossed*

Join a roleplaying encouraged supergroup? Don't associate with the rude players who dont like rpgers (havenet seen one for the last 2 days)?

I am currently on the Virtue server and have started an all mutant supergroup called Mutant Academy. If anyone is interested feel free to message me or Phuse and will take your application into account. We currently have a guildportal.com site up but i have been busy playing and have not updated it. We are a friendly, roleplaying (not rpg nazis though) and goal oriented team. We like to utilize the sidekick feature and that goes along well with our "teaching school" theme.

Come give us a try!
