It's not weird - everyone's different, and everyone plays the game their own way
-
Positron is just the lead developer, so he doesn't actually make any decisions about the servers or server lists

I've mostly been testing the AE stuff, and it seems ok for going live.

But like good charactera, the best times for me come with having a variety of good single malts in the house, that I an pick and choose according to my mood.
(Right now I have 3 bottles, 2 of which are opened and the 3rd has yet to be)

Quote:Ok, now that's the kind of info we need to hearOriginally Posted by PsychoPez
So, when our group ran over to the CoH booth later in the evening, we had a chance to say hi (and in my case thank) Posi, who was looking very tired but still very personable.
Then Hero-1 Joe Morrissey chatted with us. Future reference for everyone, if you ever get a chance to talk with Joe at future cons, do so. Joe was wired, asked us about our characters and sg, then nearly burst telling us some of the background of Praetoria that's coming out in i16.
I don't want to steal too much of their thunder, so I'll just say this. Joe said they started writing the history of Praetoria from 1896, which is when Marcus Cole was born. And then from there, decided, "If Tyrant existed, would A have happened in history? Yes, or no? Okay, so that changes this, now what would have happened.
All the way up to modern day. And a lot of that is where some of the new factions (he wouldn't say, and only gave hints) arose, as well as how some of the redeeming/corrupting missions will play out. Some things will be vary, "Do you want me to kill this despot running this area? Because he's a total jerk, but he's also the only thing keeping the civilians alive. Do you want freedom, or do you want to live?" type of decisions.
I'll have my laptop with me today, and I'll try to get as much info as I can from the panel, though I think it's gonna be more about what their experiences with AE has been, rather than i16 tidbits.
Especially the part about the despot - using the word "area" rather than "world" makes it sound like they're talking about someone apart from Tyrant - like maybe the Praetorian AVs have divided up the world into their own domains, with Tyrant as their supreme leader, but they're still pretty independent, and maybe fighting each other from time to time too.
Not too sure about the "killling" instead of "defeating" part though

I've only ever had one avatar too - my digital double - but with more superpowers than I have in RL

At this point a screenshot or two of Pretoria would be nice!

The dev panel discussion is today - so there should be info from it on the forums this evening, or maybe a little earlier on Twitter.

I'm fairly certain you can still stealth edit on these boards... at least the last time I edited a post, I was surprised when I saw it didn't say that it had been edited. Lets find out!
This post was EDITED! -
I think they mean the bio page - like instead of logging in to access it, you could right click/double click the chosen avatar on the avatar selction screen, and bring up the bio that way instead.

Quote:The the main bit of new info for us.Originally Posted by Haggard4Life
This is the first I've heard about a newspaper-like system or that recurring characters will feature into our character's journey. That sounds cool!
Does that mean they're more one-off missions rather than arcs that will help you choose sides?
If they sue the same idea of having three missions to choose from each time, like the radio does, then that could fit in with the good/bad/neutral pattern.
Maybe more extreme missions open up as you begin to choose you path - like at first you'd get a choice of 3 missions - neutral, slightly bad and slightly good, but as you became more evil or more heroic, you'd be offered more obviously good or evil missions?
Also, if it's like the radio, I wonder what sort of contact system there'll be in Praetoria to give you access to the missions?
If the new low level content for neutral players takes place in Praetoria, then that could have normal mission arcs, if neutrals were regarded as non-threatening by Tyrant, so they'd be able to go about freely like we do in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles, but Heroes and Villains in Praetoria would have to keep out of sight more, so that might be what the radio style missions would be, as it might be too dangerous to openly go around visiting contacts - they might call you instead with seemingly one-off missions that would in fact lead you to chnage sides or stay loyal. -

considering how lame Cimerora was I'm glad they didn't try to make any new zones :/
I hope they do more time travel zones - like medieval or ancient Egypt

So that pretty much locks out Scrappers, Tankers, and Brutes then? Not a whole lot those three ATs can do outside melee range.

Wouldn't this kinda make Ouroboros pointless?

Quote:You have read the AE changes for I16, haven't you?Originally Posted by Vel_Overload
Considering that the AE has been out for a decent ammount of time and nothing has been done about the increased level of farming and reduced number of people in other areas besides atlas, i can safely say that the Devs don't plan to do anything about the AE farming. It doesn't mean they don't care (as im sure they are atleast alittle hurt that players would rather hit 50 in record time than actually play the game) but it means they are accepting it for good or bad.

I'd say around 40 too - although 35 sort of seems like a big thing because that's when you get into the co-op zones.
