    I've tried a few of the "expanded universe" efforts - they were ok, but forgettable - and certainly not Star Wars - the only difference between them and the stuff on fanfiction.net was that they were on paper, and not digital

    "Low" is generally the default setting for opinions on licensed fanfiction

    The flood of NPC helpers, lack of timed missions and zero ambushes does kinda make DA "Incanrate lite" - but it's still an awesome zone
  4. The contact is called "Longbow Scientist", and they're standing in front of a line of civilians on the beach.
  5. Maybe it'd be more flexible to create 2 totally different versions of each boss, rather than apply scaling to one standard version?

    Sound FXs...

    They made another pass for I21 too - Atlas park has a lot more going on sound-wise now.
  8. A PDF is now available here:







    It was kindly put together by kwsapphire over at the CoH LiverJournal page.

    There's certainly some sexual tension between them.

    carnies because animals fit thematically
    warriors because they are so boring they really need something, and the natural animal allies would fit
    Woodsman could use it - or they could revive Shadowhunter.

    "First of all, the Incarnate Thread rate-of-income in Dark Astoria is garbage. It really is; takes forever."

    So either you're really bad at showing sarcasm over message threads, or you're idea of takes forever is skewed.
    That's what I was pointing out
  12. The thing that I'm most interested in for Beast Mastery is which character or enemy group will also get it?

    That would be cool, but it might need a lot of extra work to try and balance each zone enemy groups and challenges for 1-50 - but they do seem to be taking a much more theme focused approach to new zones and zone revamps - like Atlas Park, First Ward and Dark Astoria have a lot mroe depth and variety than most of the older zones.

    It seems like they picked up a last minute bug with them, and decided to pull them rather than delay I22.

    I find 50s lots of fun

    As you can see in the picture, I have everything I need for my last Level Shift, and I didn't get it in Incarnate Trials.
    Something doesn't quite add up between those 2 statements

    Our hair hasn't been animated for months - when exactly is that bug going to be fixed?
  20. Silos was one of the more challenging bits to do, and not just because of his hair

    He's an important character, but they've never released any pictures or concept art of him, so there's only the stylized art style of in-game model as a guide when conveerting him into another art style.

    He has dark brows, deep-set eyes, a sharp-ish nose, average-ish chin and mouth - but while his eyes are green, his complexion isn't the usual pale/fair one that goes with green eyes, and black hair is also not so usual with them either - so is his hair dyed, or is it a combination that's more frequent in whatever time period the body is from?
    Is he naturally tanned, or did he get that way from his travels through time?
    Is his body over a million years old?
    Is it from the past, present or future?
    Does he prefer to travel back to Prussia to pick a new body?
    Does he switch his consciousness between bodies to avoid the effects of the Carbon Law, and is sometimes forced to take one that he mightn't be totally happy with?
    Or does he have clones of one that's he regards as his ideal body?

    There are lots of things to think of when interpreting someone like that

    There's also an echo of Galaxy City you can access too, if you want to get the bagdes and plaques there.

    For some reason, the zone selection window only pops up if you're going up the tentacle shaft, not down it - so if you do get stuck there, you just need to head back up it a short way and the window will appear.
  23. There could be some tweaks once they datamine the effects of DA on the live servers.
  24. Green-lighting that kind of budget for that kind of source material was insane
