Feminine intuition

I think the rechagre is 60 minutes.

Very cool

But they're separate - we've not actually had a unique emote for ourselves as a vet reward, right?

And welcome to the forum, Stompp

Is this the first special animation for a vet reward then?
If it is, do you think it might actually be used later for something in GR?

Maybe the whip is for your summoned demons, to whip them into obedience?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's the way I imagine it'd work - not only because it'd be easier to have a single whip animation that making it into a power set, but it'd also fit with the info about demon summoning we got from Desdemona's biography.
My guess is a pet buff that increases the rage (damage) of your pets.

I think you're just worried you'll become a furry

Fixed, to fit his name more

And a fur bikini would be way too uncomfortable anyway if you were in a hot climate, and would be impractical if you were in a cold one
A cotton and lycra blend is the way to go, in nice bright or pastel shades - with patterns for parites, and maybe a flag one for special occassions

Can you sort of describe what it's like?

I wonder if the Knives are some clue for GR?

Another thing I'm wondering about - do you think that the revamped costume creator will have somewhere where you can view the powers and animations, to help with choosing the look you want?
The MA already incldues a little animation preview, so maybe they'll use something similar for previewing powers?

If you're in Europe, then yes

I'm also interested to see how they give us access to Praetoria - I don't think it'll be like the Vanguard office buildings giving access to the RWZ - but more like the Ouroboros portal.
Maybe a mini-arc, where you have to recover a Praetorian portal that Praetorian agents have been using to infiltrate our world, ready for their invasion?

Bear in mind that we have several teams working on different things.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it's only fair that you list in detail what exactly they're all working on, so we're all aware of it, and how busy they are

[ QUOTE ]
the only thing i'm worried bout is the lvl req.

[/ QUOTE ]

The absolute latest it'd be would be 35, I think, as that seems to be the level the devs like to open up the co-up stuff.

I like FA - useful for those evasive enemies

If GR does allow for a thrid faction, then there might be some Praetorian pools available eventually

They might add a few more with the free Issue patch that comes out along with GR

Some insight from BAB about how long this has taken

[ QUOTE ]
Fun facts:
To date, power customization for Primary and Secondary player powers has involved
1,241 individual powers.

which use use 1,620 FX scripts

which reference 5,144 particle scripts.

(Yes, those 1,241 powers are from just the powersets listed in the Issue 16 overview page.)

I'm still trying to nail down an exact date for when we started working on this, but so far the earliest reference I can find is from a document created in March of 2008. I know there were some meetings before that document was made, but I can't find the date or meeting notes from the initial "Lets do this!" meeting, which I would consider the official start of this massive undertaking.

Unofficially, I've been trying to figure out ways to do it since around Issue 11, but every idea involved new tech and a tremendous amount of data parsing...two things that simply would have never happened back then with the size of our team.

Obviously, we haven't been working 100% on this since we started. A bit here, a bit there...time taken for other Issues, bug fixes, booster packs, etc. But we've been working on it pretty focused for the last 6-8 months.

RE: content, i always thought that they should add more non epic arcs. No more saving the world. No more stopping the most evil person ever.

Just have a few low level arcs which have you just doing some heroic/villainous deeds which doesnt evolve some kind of epic storylines!! Sometimes a humour storyline is just as good as an epic one . . . . . . imo

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the "Hero's Hero" arc might get remade into a high level Praetorian TF - and there might even be other TFs in Praetoria, like one for each zone.
But I'm sure there'll be some humor too - War Witch is still working there

[ QUOTE ]
I agree with JD, the important thing is NOT the number of new zones, but the content and story arcs written in there, as it happens when we compare CoH vs. CoV: CoV has less maps but much more used and played than CoH has (Boomtown, Dark Astoria, Faultline til it was revamped, Eden, Hive, Shadow Shard, are all useless IMHO).

[/ QUOTE ]

All we can go on for the number of zones is the comment that there are "several new zones" - which certainly sounds like more than two, as they'd just say "a couple of new zones" in that case.
As most zones right now cover 10 0r 15 levels, three new zones, which would be the minimum, I think, to count for "several", would cover 30 to 45 levels, and four would cover 40 t0 50 levels.

The devs have also said there'll be "missions, lots of missions", but how many might depend on if they want players to be able to level to 50 just in Praetoria, I think, and also if they want there to be a third "neutral" faction.

I'm not sure that voice fits Ghost Widow

And welcome to the forum

The makers of "Call of Cthulhu" have a copyright on a Lovecraft pen and paper RPG - so if you made a pen and paper game and called it "Call of Cthulhu", they could sue you - but Cthulhu himself isn't under copyright anymore -anyone can use him and the associated stuff - not just for private use, but to make money too.
There's nothing anyone can do to stop you maiking a t-shirt with a picture of Cthulhu on it, and selling it, for example.
