  1. This might lead to a few more 5th Column tribute avatars

    1 botched ritual cripples, 2 makes a character unplayable.

    Something that makes you unable the play the game for 20 hours BRILLIANT.

    Whats next, fail a mission get kicked offline for 20 hours.
    If only there was some way of being able to view the clues we'd picked up on an arc to let us work out what to do if we ever ran into some kind of puzzle.
  3. Maybe she trusts the player, because they're so powerful and important?

    To test if it works or not?

    Moon Hazard Zone

    I think that we're more likely to get some kind of space station rather than the moon
  7. Statesline came close to being official at SDCC

    But there should still be an official couple

    New wilderness zone based around a marsh confirmed for I23.
  11. By the way, now that we've done the classic comicbook move of killing a major character, we now need the classic comicbook move of having a character come out

    It's in the new art style

Rationalize every which way possible. It doesn't change the basic core concept of the multiplayer gaming genre.
    Talking of the MMO market, I think that in the future, MMOs will move away from the current heavy focus on combat for progression - looking at things like FarmVille and Minecraft, there seems to be a potentially huge audience for games with non-combat progression - so the company that can find a way to blend that with the standard combat progression will have a massive hit.
    For example, in CoH terms, that would mean a 1-50 levelling path as a D.A.T.A. scientist, or a Wentworths broker, or a reporter for the Paragon Times, or an Icon designer, or the owner of a store.
    Obviously, there'd still be a lot of combat content for people who wanted it, as it's a superhero game - but it wouldn't be the only way of progressing or playing.

    Seriously, which is it? "Yes, those who have done the missions before are attuned." -or- "Yes, we have to do them over again."
    Yes, you have to do then again
  15. They need a bit more work on the normal mapped faces to get them just right - I don't think that they should give up on them after only a handful of faces.
  16. New Manticore and Sister Psyche art - does that mean that they're both ok after "Who WIll Die?"

    Yes.

    To aovid spoilers, you could remove all chat channels from your chat window - or even close the whole window, just in case red admin text came up.
    Put yourself on global hide, then pick a quiet zone to avoid meeting others - like for the next beta, avoid Independence Port, becuase that'll probbaly have a bit of activity with people checking out the revamped STF - somewhere like the Hollows would be good.
    Doing all this would mean you'd be able to log in by the trainer, check out new costume parts and emotes, and never have to see any of the new non-cosmetic content, or hear about it from other players on the beta server.

  22. Combat logs? Those are for the number crunchers

Even the classic TFs and trials (like the respec trials) are more like normal content than the iTrials in this regard.
    The Trials are special content - just like the endgame progression system is different from the 1-50 game.

    The iTrials aren't challenging because they pose difficult problems for us to solve using the tools given to us through the experience of 50 levels of game content.
    The newer content often has more complex fights, so some basic Trial mechanics are being added to the 1-50 game, which will help train players for the Incarnate system - just like Death From Below and now Drowning in Blood are training them in the LFG system and Trials.
    All new players since COH:Freedom went live are now totally comfortable with the way Trials form and work, which makes the transition to the post-50 game much smoother.
  24. Wouldn't using extra accounts for attempting to semi-solo a Trial be kinda expensive?

    Normal mapping works fine on faces - but they need some kind of expression on them to bring them to life - the ones we have so far are all too blank.
    I'm sure that's meant to make them as flexible as possible for different avatars, but almost all the non-normal mapped faces have some form of expression, like a small smile, or a frown, or a slightly puzzled look, and so on - those are what they need to add to the normal mapped faces.
