So ... you pointed things out to him that he and other developers were likely already aware of? Because you don't have to be a genius to figure out that the base system is in an unfinished state due to the folks working on it being shuffled off to the failed Cryptic/Marvel MMO. And that it will probably stay in an unfinished state thanks to those developers not leaving adequate documentation about the system when they left.

And while a complete overhaul of bases would be great, the return on such an investment makes it highly unattractive. Bases exist to serve three practical purposes: storage, transportation, and (theoretically) content in the form of raids. Everything else is extraneous. There's currently adequate storage for most individual players via character inventory and the vault reserve, and storage can be increased for a price. Transportation is absurdly easy now thanks to the ferry/tram system, Pocket D, Ouroboros, and the other various available teleportation powers. As for raids ... well, the fact that they were never fully online speaks volumes. Additionally, PvP would really need to be balanced before you'd want to activate raiding. And PvP is another legacy system that honestly needs to be completely scrapped and rebuilt from scratch, one that at this point would provide a better return on investment than bases (although possibly still not enough to get it on the schedule at Paragon Studios).

Thankfully, Bill isn't representative of most solo players. He is, however, representative of giant, industrial, laser-guided circular saws with diamond-coated titanium blades.

Depending on how lucky I get with ATOs and Enhancement converters in the 10 packs I'll be snagging tomorrow with the 2 Paragon Reward tokens I've got sitting around doing nothing, I might have to expend very little else to get the set.

This isn't exactly new information, Tech. Little late to get angry about it now.

The other obvious answer: Most of the weekly Ustreams are recorded and are available for viewing at your leisure fairly soon after they're finished.

Ignoring, of course, that the cartoon version of Starfire was much different than the comic version which existed prior to and during the cartoon's existence, in terms of both appearance and personality.

And if you really still think that Starfire in the new DC universe is nothing but a "barely disguised sex puppet", then you either stopped reading Red Hood & the Outlaws after issue 1 or haven't read the series at all.

You know how it is -- sometimes stuff breaks between beta and live.

Also, during the UStream where the British engineer fellow was introduced, Zwillinger noted that The Television was moved from CoH to their upcoming project.

This, basically.

while there are only so many practical ways you can go with "throw x from hands", I'd like to see all the ranged sets at the very least get some unique animations within each set. In a perfect world, I'd like to see them all get unique, stylized animation sets. Right now, the newer sets like Dual Pistols stand out because they each have an individual feel, whereas the old sets all feel very generic because they sort of had to be generic back during CoH's initial development cycle.

She's not a very good villain, though, is she? Maybe she gives up and goes back to Paragon. I know I wouldn't mind her out of the Rogue Isles.

He feels Longfang should stay the same because he believes the lethal damage is an intentional design decision. And he's very hesitant to change the IO type accepted by Omega Maneuver because it would screw up the builds of those who've already slotted it. Fairly standard answers, but both legitimate. At least he answered me (and a lot faster than I thought he would, as well!).
