Quote:It's not getting discarded - it's getting a major upgrade - the little hints and fragments of the story there are being used to create the new Incarnate story arcs.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
the zone's getting discarded for this anyway -
Quote:Maybe an Incarnate story arc?Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Circle of Thorns dialog in the zone seems to indicate *they* had some hand in the binding of - or at least maintaining the current status of - Mot. When? How? That ALONE could deal with a good arc's worth of content - where you find they're being weakened (the bindings, that is.)
Maybe an Incarnate story arc?Quote:The Pantheon learning about it is barely touched on (if at all.) Strongly indicated but not really touched on. And it's been an ongoing "battle" since the Rikti war. What changed? Again, another arc's worth, at least.
Maybe an Incarnate story arc?Quote:Not to mention the Tsoo - what did Tub Ci find out about, and why is he sending his people in to find? Are the Ancestor Spirits perhaps at risk, given the Pantheon sacrificing other ghosts? What could happen to them? Admittedly, that group of questions is a bit more tangental - but if what they're searching for is reinforcing the bindings, they become rather big players in the zone without planning on it. -
Quote:They can go street sweep someplace else if they want to recreate the content experience in DAOriginally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Removing Dark Astoria removes content from these people.
It's being reused in the new DA content.Quote:Paragon Studios is missing an opportunity for a hook here. There's unused story content - which has been pointed out for years.
The Well and Praetoria don't play a major role in the new DA content.Quote:Removing DA (and yes, they are removing DA as it stands) also annoys some people, like me, that aren't enamored with Well/Praetorian nonsense, and who will likely ignore the "upgraded" (look, more praetorians, more well nonsense) DA in any decision about dropping to premium. Yes, somewhat tied in to point 1, I admit.
Which is exactly what we're going to get in I22.Quote:Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
People have asked for years to have story content related to the zone. To the conflict between the Pantheon and the Circle. Finding out what the Tsoo want. -
Quote:We should find out in the next IssueOriginally Posted by Egos_Shadow
It's probably Prometheus. That seems to be how he rolls.

Quote:Dark Astoria has been replaced by First Ward - the story potential of Dark Astoria is the basis for the new DA content.Originally Posted by Stormbird
As opposed to the current plan, which removes a zone that had actual story potential to lock it behind VIP-only.

I think that Incarnate level Tsoo in Dark Astoria would be a better fit for Staff Fighting enemies

Quote:But there are more Trials being added all the time - we're getting the Diabolique one in I22, and there's the showdown with Tyrant in the near future, plus the Coming Storm arriving - they're producing Trials at a way faster rate than any other content they've ever produced for 50s before.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Before Incarnates, people replayed the ITF, the STF, the RSF, the Hamidon Raid and the Rikti Shuttle Raid. Now people play BAF, LAM, KEY, UGD, MOM and TPN.

Quote:Everything you get on the Trials is useful - there's nothing you can't convert into something you need.Originally Posted by McNum
With iTrials, you can waste hours and not get anything useful out of it

I'm totally going to get the New Year stuff - I like fireworks

Quote:I think that the next major step for the Trials is to make them cross-server - that'd cut the downtime between them to almost zero - there would be a constant stream of them being formed and run 24/7, and kit'd help to draw even more players into them.Originally Posted by Nihilii
There are low-pop servers, i.e. Vigilance, on which iTrials hardly happen outside of peak hours, and when it happens, you better be willing to put up with anybody and any specific trial because there aren't enough warm bodies to be picky about either.
I22 is a step in the right direction by making the LFG work when you're on a mission - now they need to make it work across the servers too. -
Quote:Not the ones I've been onOriginally Posted by Ogi
iTrials are level shifts or get out.
-
The Trials are very casual friendly, and fit in well with the general feel of the game.

Quote:We've moved on from the 50sOriginally Posted by MaestroMavius
As far as the whole blue=boys pink=Girls deal, personally I blame the 50's.

Quote:That's how the Incarnate system already works - the Trials give the best and fastest rewards, because they're large group content.Originally Posted by Nihilii
Rather than being penalized for playing with less people, you're rewarded for playing with more people.

Quote:Like the 8 new story arcs they gave us in the last Issue?Originally Posted by Mirai
I'd like the devs to get back to making some real story arcs.

Quote:If the faster progress route of the Trials is a "grind", then the slower solo progress route will be a "grind" tooOriginally Posted by MrCaptainMan
I'mreally hoping the DA stuff proves popular ebough to steer the devs away from the experiment with WoW-style endge grindimg and back onto what CoH should be about.
The Trials are now a major feature of the game, and are popular with the devs and the players - they'll remain the core Incarnate content, and more and more of them will be added to the game as the Incarnate storyline unfolds. -
Quote:It's associated with them because it's true - the Puritans were horrible peopleOriginally Posted by Turgenev
This is commonly associated with the perception of Puritanism where anything pleasurable is considered sinful.

Do horses count as a geeky activity?
-
I wonder if the Diabolique Trial in I22 will be slightly smaller scale, as she mightn't have any link to the Well now that she's free from Tyrant's control?
-
I'll play anything

Quote:Well, princesses are often quite heroic in storiesOriginally Posted by Aneko
For the sake of the topic, then: I do play some superheroic princesses.

Quote:Although the opposite is much more frequent - anti-feminists hate women.Originally Posted by Aneko
Really? Good thing I reminded everyone for no particular reason, then.

Remember, kids: feminism is not the same as misandry.
