I think the strategy is to create new, mroe exotic zones this year, as CO is offering more exotic zones.

[/ QUOTE ]
This looks likely - with tests/comments pointing to both a water/underwater based zone and to space/moon/extra-terrestrial zones.

But they're just the ones that have seemed very likely for quite some time now - I'd guess that a frozen/arctic zone may well be on it's way as well (although this could conceivably be an extra-terrestrial zone).


[/ QUOTE ]

Positron saying that they can make "cool" new zones might hint at an arctic one - especially as he wrote "cool" in big letters

[/ QUOTE ]
He not only capitalised 'COOL' but he did this 2 or 3 times. It's because of this that I mention a possible frozen/arctic zone - though it would be possible that it's extra-terrestrial.

It was funny at the pocket D that most chat seemed to miss the 'COOL' references instead shouting out that DA is a cool zone...

A frozen/arctic zone is in no way neccesarily copying CO in the same way that CO isn't copying any starwars games that had Hoth in them or any WWII games with operations in frozen Norway... It's not a frozen/arctic setting that makes the game, it merely provides a backdrop for the game.

EDIT: It's also possible that a frozen zone was discussed as a potential addition to CoX years ago... i.e. CO may well be running with the frozen zone partly as it had come up in plans for CoX before Jackelope left CoX.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah - there's snow and ice, but that's about the only things they both need to share
Like the "Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" shares a snow and ice setting with "At the Mountians of Madness", but they're not really very similar stories

Well, we can make it have more point

...Not really...u cant make any of these type of threads pointful...its been drilled so much the drill peice is infact...dead.

[/ QUOTE ]

But we can try
We could move the discussion from the MA being the end of CoH, to ideas and suggestions for more end game content

That would smack of desperation and copying CO, in my opinion at least.

Personally I think it might have been a good idea to make the Architect a booster pack type purchase. That way those of us who want to tell stories could do at a small fee, but everyone else would have been free to carry on as normal with some nice costume pieces and maybe a dev-created arc or two. It'd also have given them time/money to work out the kinks in the MA/AE system before it went live and they had to do patches on a seemingly daily basis.

[/ QUOTE ]
Remember that I13 and I14 were originally a single issue - so alongside MA the devs did plan to deliver a couple of extra arcs alongside it.

[/ QUOTE ]

But could the forums have handled the new style PvP and the MA farm problem at the same time? Or would the boards have melted?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the devs have installed a brassneck cover on the servers.

They seem to be impervious to anything said that's critical about MA or PvP now.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm pretty sure it was criticism of the farming exploits in the MA that prompted Positron to make his statement the other day

Actually, he said they'd rather write TFs right now - just like he said they'd rather make new zones than revamp old ones right now - in both cases, he never said they'd never make anymore arcs or zone revamps again

Don't sweat it - you Brits can't even pronounce tomato properly

[/ QUOTE ]
you say tomato, I say ketchup, let's call the whole thing off

[/ QUOTE ]

Seeing as english is the language we all seem to be speaking, british people pronounce everything correctly, and as for everyone else it's down to accent, or you're just plain wrong.

British ftw.

[/ QUOTE ]

How can Brits pronounce it properly when they can't even spell the words properly?

[ QUOTE ]

Though the big reasons that people had built up expectations was because:
* the official announcements made a much bigger deal of Positron giving a worldwide 5th anniversary address;
* Posi stating that it would be fun (iirc);
* Posi stating in the EU test room that he wouldn't give hints about his too-late-for-EU-residents announcement as we'd only go and spoil it by posting details on the US forums.

[/ QUOTE ]

I still thinik there may have been a slight mix-up there, and the details were put on the site too early - like they were supposed to go up after Positron had made his announcement.

[ QUOTE ]
I take it the look on Positrons face at 1:42 is a web-buffering blip and not bug-eyed utter shock at the interviewer's question of "What do you think makes City of Heroes stand out from the crowd..."

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, he was probably shocked at even having to be asked, when it's so obivous

[ QUOTE ]
As I was on a break from Paragon at the time what did he say that was so terrible at his 5th anniversery address?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nothing - except for those who'd built up their expectations to an amusingly high level
he also held a Q and A session in Pocket D on the Euro Test, and rather than spending the entire time in a back and forth argument with some PvPers, he declared he wasn't going to answer any more PvP questions, and he concentrated instead on answering one off questions where a single answer would be enough, so he could move onto the next question.
And as there were like 10 questions a minute being thrown at him, he wasn't able to answer them all - which maybe upset people who had a question overlooked

Is the RL comic book guy from the simpsons?

sorry but someone had to say it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now go back and read his statement on MA farming, only imagine it in the Comic Book Guy's voice

[ QUOTE ]
He is so totally hinting at Reichsman in I15

[/ QUOTE ]

I was just thinking the same thing "Bring back a villain that has never existed in the game before" he has to be him, who else would the 5th Column get?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think we'll find out for sure in the last mission of the new TF

He is so totally hinting at Reichsman in I15

A very heroic costume

Don't sweat it - you Brits can't even pronounce tomato properly

Happy Birthday

Is that a double negative or triple?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's negative - and I'm positively positive he means Positron is a negative.

[/ QUOTE ]

Positron is actually an Electron?


[/ QUOTE ]
His recent statement certainly electrified quite a bit of the player base

[ QUOTE ]
The MA farming policy wasn't included within whatever agreement your referring to, I can conclude that since the only policy we've heard is the one from the dev's mouth.


[/ QUOTE ]

I think it might involve casting the farmers out of the MA, then setting a GM with a flaming sword to guard each AE building.

[ QUOTE ]
These are all perfectly cromulant words.

Isn't that like some kind of Hyborean adjective?
