This is the type of fight I've been wishing for! The co-op task force would be awesome if there was a strong story content in there, maybe a mission to recover some technology in which the villain members patron comes and try to secure, or a end battle that is so enormous that both statesman and recluse has to come in as npc's to lend a hand.

I still think hero 1 might show up.

Just a thought: maybe Hero 1 will be the AV at the end of the co-op TF....

Not to be negative, but is this one of those things that is annoucned now, but we wont see hide nor hair of for 3-6 months?

[/ QUOTE ]depends, if they release an issue and its a buggy unplayable piece of crap, then what did we gain? it will be done when its done, and not before. I just hope they budget their time well and can pull it off in a reasonable time frame. id say a minimum of 2 months before the closed beta starts, but who knows, this dosent seem to be introducing any radical new tech, so maybe it wont be bad.

Since the issue looks to use stuff that's already existing, (like I8 did after I7) I'm guessing it could actually come pretty quickly. (like I8 did after I7.)

Patience.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you're asking too much. I'll give you semi-restrained enthusiasm, and that's about all.

[ QUOTE ]
Looks very cool!

Some kind of rough ETA would be appreciated.

This may be (and probably is) just wishful thinking on my part, but...

There's nothing in the issue that's particularly revolutionary. (Not to say that the issue doesn't look like it's going to completely rock; I'm drooling already...) I7 and I9 took a long time because they added stuff we'd never seen before. I8, on the other hand, came out fast on the heels of I7, since it basically re-used stuff that was in existence. We've seen co-op zones before (Pocket D) and co-op missions (the holiday events.) The crafting stuff hopefully just builds on what's already there in I9.

If that's the case, then I'm really hopeful that we'll see I10 a lot sooner than we might think.... (and I believe LH and Posi both hinted something like that not too long ago.)

New Threats
UXBs, “unexploded bombs” that arm, power up, and detonate if not stopped in time, provide a constant threat. Rikti destroyers zip through zones dropping troops, UXB’s, and Rikti Assault Suits.

[/ QUOTE ]

This has got me pretty jazzed. I'm imagining this will be like the fires in SC, but everywhere, and random. Can you picture the scramble when a bomb drops right next to Ms. Liberty on a busy night? Awesome.

Plus, the occasional destroyer whizzing over your head and dropping a herd of baddies around you is sure going to add a little excitement to those fedex missions....

No offense to anyone but is it me or is Stateman's speech sounding something along the lines of what President Bush gave to the public before invading Iraq.

[/ QUOTE ]
It's not just you. For crying out loud, who writes Freedom Phalanx's dialog, Kyle Sampson? "Balance of power"? "Weapon of mass destruction?" Flat-out lies about how we don't know "yet" if Statesman's brother in law is "building a rapid strike force"? "If we fail to get the job done in the Rogue Isles, Arachnos will certainly follow us here?"

[/ QUOTE ]

No, no. If States were taking a page from the Bush playbook, then to fight Arachnos, he'd be sending heroes to take over Middle Earth.

Howling Slick; wasn't he a blues man from the 1940's? I seem to remember he had a few really big hits, like "Boresight Blues," "You ain't worth a 5 inf recipe," "Hamidon ate my dog," "Sold my soul (down at the Wentworths)," "Statesman don't want me for his Taskforce," "I'd fly away (If I only had a billion inf for the wings)," "Ain't no invention that can cure the blues," and of course, the immortal: "My woman left with all my salvage (Oh how I want that salvage back.)"

[/ QUOTE ]

em/grabs Dark/Sonic or TA/Sonic Def named Howling Slick on every server.*

Awesome, man!


*Note: Not really.

[/ QUOTE ]

A blues man as a defender? Nah; he'd have to be a blaster or a dominator. (Those being the two AT's that are most likely to give you the blues...)

[ QUOTE ]
Meme's name for it is good, but 'twilight' is also the name for the heal (which can also be powered by Oil Slick and other attackable entities). So I think I'll call it....


Howling Slick.
