Quote:What they should do is release an expansion with, say, 4 new zones in it, and then make them co-op.Originally Posted by Obsidius
One thing I've noticed is how the RWZ is becoming less of a "War Zone" and more of a "generic co-op zone", simply because it's the only co-op zone in the game besides Cimerora and Pocket D. Heck, there's an Architect Entertainment there (not to beet a dead horse, just sayin').
IMPO devs, it's time to create a new co-op zone or re-purpose another existing zone into a co-op zone.
Maybe they could make it so the new palce was hostile to both the blue and the red sides, so we'd have to go there and do co-op content to fight them? -
Ooh, I was expecting him to be blue - no idea why
EDIT: This is also another example of how awesome the game is - a contact who's a robot in a tall hat and tux doesn't seem weird

I'm bullet-proof

Smells like backpedalling to me

He sounds like the Most Interesting Man at Paragon Studios

It was the most moving moment I've had in Paragon City

Quote:He's a bit older than thatOriginally Posted by Dark Lost
He's like seventy
-
Another good way of honoring him would be to call him BAB, and not BaB, BABS, BaBS, Babs or BaBs
-
I don't think he has a cousin

heh, maybe that is the takeaway from all of this. paragon just tipped its hand, the incarnate stuff will feature underwater zones and babs took the smart way out

Quote:I think one of the reasons he posted so much was that as well as being a nice and friendly person, he was also responsible for a pretty non-controversial part of the game - he could show his face without being bombarded with questions/demands about the his area of the game - but people like Castle have a harder time because their area of the game creates more angst among more playersOriginally Posted by ArwenDarkblade
I'm well aware. However, his contributions to this game were invaluable. He understood and was connected to player culture like no other dev. He *got* us, listened to us, and interacted with us. Not having him contribute to the game as a dev is a huge loss for CoH, and it will never be the same.
And that is why I am sad.
Another example is War Witch - she used to post a lot more when she was the zone designer - but now that she's the lead designer, in addition to being busier, way more people are going to be way more likely to ask/demand things from her.
And with endgame content being a delicate subject too, Positron can't post much either

Quote:That's his in-game status - the character BAB is a retired hero who just trains new heroes in Galaxy City.Originally Posted by Tayla Ewa
His profile on the forums lists his location at "retired".. perhaps he took a severance package.

Quote:And why we still doOriginally Posted by rian_frostdrake
and that is why we loved him.
We know you're reading this, BAB - and even though you never did get around to animating my hair, I'm sure it was somewhere on the list - like just below re-animating every single power to allow for underwater combat

Quote:And the 4 undercover red names who showed up?Originally Posted by AzureSkyCiel
Well, I mean beside's Ocho's somewhat vague comments.

Quote:That's epicOriginally Posted by Grouchybeast
I think BaBs knows we're watching. As of right now, his profile reads:
"Astronaut/Test Pilot/Firefighter, International Spy/Male Model/CEO of Fortune 500 Company (Currently seeking employment)"

Quote:Names similar to "Fortress" and "1-less-than-9"?Originally Posted by Mermoine
And to all the people that shall not be named, who were invisible tonight. Thank you for coming.

Quote:Don't forget that he had a normal private game account as well as his red name account, so it's quite possible he'll still play, even if he'll never let on who he isOriginally Posted by ArwenDarkblade
I'm still incredibly sad over this.

Quote:COH2 sounds quite similarOriginally Posted by Apocalypse86
Also, this is completely unrelated, but I was going through linkedin profiles for other devs and I noticed that Hero 1 says he's working on at on an unannounced MMO at Paragon Studios. Seems odd since I figured the studio would just work on CoH given the name.

There were a few undercover devs at the memorial service this evening too

Quote:Yes - from Mods and devsOriginally Posted by AzureSkyCiel
I gotta apologize but is there hard empirical evidence to confirm or deny he's left/got canned.
-
Aww, I'd hoped he'd been picked up right away - I don't really have anything against Cryptic - after all, they did manage to make one totally awesome game

Quote:There was another one when the forums were separate - a guy who mostly only posted in the French section - Avatea was a more recent addition, sometime before the forums merged.Originally Posted by Eiko-chan
I thought Avatea was the French moderator (only moved now to the US).
-
Hang on, an update - it seems that the info on his Linkedin profile might actually be referring to his time at CoH when it was still run by Cryptic - so we may have to drop the treason charges.

Perhaps Neverwinter will have one lone bright spot then, courtesy of BaB's talents.
