The "EATs at 20" thing seems to be getting the most attention - but what about the other listed features?
Quote:Any ideas on what they might be, like what UI changes could they make that'd make it better?New badges, new missions and new player emotes
Improvements and additions to Mission Architect
Enhancements to UI and game systems
And what sort of additions to the MA might they be going to give us?
Also, beautiful new shiney badges

Quote:The title "Dark Mirror" does not imply a nemesis system, and neither does an enemy that can match us "blow for blow"Originally Posted by Mental_Giant
It could have been either, but Nemesis would have been the more interesting result.

"Stance emotes"? Perchance, a way to make our characters have a custom default stance?

Quote:Only if you interpreted the title "Dark Mirror" and the "nefarious new foe" who can match us "blow for blow" quotes as being some sort of nemesis/rogues gallery rather than some kind of doppelgangerOriginally Posted by Radubadu
This is rather disheartening

I doubt we would ever get anything 100% identical to CO's Nemesis system.
But I could easily see a CoX "doppelganger" system become our equivalent to it.
While it might be fun to stand in a room and fight NPC clones of my characters that by itself would not be very fun for long. I would suspect that the "doppelganger" system would be introduced as a series of missions, a TF or some other kind of random encounters that would expand the concept out longer than just one massive fight scene.

Just to clarify before speculation runs toooooo rampant, we're not doing a Nemesis-type system for Issue 17.
EDIT: Looking at your wording, it seems like you're not ruling out a nemesis system in a future Issue

Lest people get too jazzed about a doppleganger nemesis system, remember that that was not part of the announcement. That was a guess by the author of the article.
Going by their design choices so far, there's no way they'd release a nemesis system unless it could be better than the CO one in some way

Quote:I think it might be connected to the 1-20 content in GR in some way.Originally Posted by brophog02
Not exactly "epic" if you get them at 20 with the leveling curve we have now. Why not just open them at the start if it will be that soon?

I'm curious about this one. Does this mean that a newer player doesn't have to run a character all the way to 50 before unlocking VEATs or Kheldians? If so, why the change?

Quote:I think that's what's caused the delay to July - and also why he's decided to oversee it himself.Originally Posted by Sardan
As cool as it is that we're getting additional info, note that this announcement includes not a peep on the new end game system that Posi and his team of minions are working on. So there is more in the way of big reveals yet to come.
The endgame system is the thing we know the least about so far, so it's likely it's the reason for the slipped launch date. -

There is no image macro or emoticon for what I am feeling at the release of this news.

Quote:They're the ones we already have.Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
This is interesting and I like it.
Really good news!
Epics at 20? That sounds cool... the question is, will it be HEATS and VEATS as we have now or is there something else coming unlockable at 20? -

Quote:But it'd only be for the extras - the things they want most over there - zones/missions - would be free.Originally Posted by Anti_Proton
I think if the word "pay" comes up at all, it will still sting their player-base.
Sure, there''d still be some rage, but it'd be less.
I'm not sure Atari would totally reverse the payment decision, as they must have already worked it into their business plans - so spinning off the extras as paid-for, and making the zone and misisons free would be a sort of compromise for both sides. -

Quote:They have another "state of the game address" coming up this week - if they're sensible, they'll say they've listened to the player feedback, and have decided that Vibora Bay will be a free update.Originally Posted by Xaphan
I wonder if Cryptic is going to scramble and try to save some grace with CO, or if they've just given up on it now that their real cash cow is released...
Or they could possibly say that the zone and missions will be free, but any extras planned for it like costumes and powers would still be paid-for items. -
Quote:I was thinking February/March beta, with a May/June release - but maybe they need the extra month to make sure it's extra awesome?Originally Posted by Redbone
Yes, the July target date is "new." From the banter here, it seems many thought it would hit test in Jan/Feb and be out April or May-ish (just from the idea that Beta would be "soon"). While July doesn't surprise me as the target, it is later than I had expected.
But if enough of us complained about it, we could maybe get them to release it early so we could experience the excitement of bugged content
