    Accordinng to that old NCSoft marketing survey from a while back, it has something to do with performing tasks to earn things called universal enhancement slots, as well as the special enhancements that go in them. The slots would give bonuses to your whole build - for example, a universal damage enhancement would give, say, 5% damage to all your damage powers - and there'd be a total 10 slots available.

    The setting for these tasks was going to be a mysterious alien space station orbiting Earth.

    How much of this is still part of their plans for the endgame content in GR is totally unknown right now

    I thought Positron banned those PLers?

And so, they hired Sean "Dr. Aeon" McCann to oversee the MA (and write content) so that Hero 1 can focus on writing canonical arcs. Hero 1 is also the keeper of the CoH Lore Bible.

    Bruce "Horatio" Harlick is simply one of the writing staff (with excellent pedigree from PnP RP games... the original Foxbat of Champions PnP).
    I think you missed the joke

    Possibly - new MMOs seem to bring out the info

    Read the linked War Witch interview in the first post

    I thought Hero1 was the main force behind the AE?
  11. Once GR has gone live, would any of the post-GR content for 2010 involve revamping any of the less-visited older zones such as Boomtown or Dark Astoria in a similar way to the revamps that were given to Faultline and the RWZ?
    These little-used zones already have a framing story/background lore, and would seem to be ideal places to fill up with new content.

    BAB has recently been heard to ask other PC staff if anyone saw the game last night, who made the morning coffee, and to comment on how lovely the weather was, regardless of the actual weather outside - he also seemed interested in TPS reports.

    And we know that it's Positron who'll be to blame if the new endgame content doesn't transport the human race to a higher plane of consciousness.

    The city is "new", "bright" and "has a lot of open spaces - it has plazas, parks - plenty of stuff to explore".

    But the whole "Here's news that you will be getting news soon(tm)!" is getting a little old.

    While it's still better than no acknowledgment at all, it's still rather irritating.
    Well, War Witch has mentioned that they're working on the first post-GR Issue too, so that's sort of a little bit more info

    The "fun" part he mentioned is very important - because endgame either has to be an endless way to increase your stats, which would break any sort of game balance, or it has to be something that has a beginning and an end, so once you've done it, you're left needing more "endgame" to keep you occupied.

    I think the best example of something endgame-ish in CoH right now would be the ITF - it's played a lot by 50s because it's fun - so if they can create something similar as part of the enw endgame stuff, it'll be awesome.

  22. By the way, I hope War Witch's first task, after getting a new cubicle, is to move the AE building from the RWZ to Pocket D where it belongs
  23. I think I'm going to interpret War Witch's promise for the 2010 post-GR content being "some of the most exciting and challenging things we've ever done" as a reference to animated hair - unless she posts a full list of everything planned post-GR to disprove it.
