To quote Posi once again:
'The engine we use is actually very powerful... we havent really seen the true glory of what it is capable of.'
The talk has not been about a wholly new engine, but of tapping the potential of the current one. Even power customization wouldn't require an engine rewrite, just an awful lot of work. -
"The engine we use is actually very powerful, but we have been conscious of peoples machines and minimum specs on the game for a while now, so we havent really seen the true glory of what it is capable of. But I think its safe to say yes, players can expect to see graphical improvements." - Positron, Ten Ton Hammer interview, Nov 12 2008
The title of that interview is 'The Line between Good and Evil', which is now a hell of a lot more significant than it was in November! -
I've got a theory, I've got a theory...
Regarding the Khan TF (spoilers for upcoming I15):
It seems from the Paragon Diaries that Requiem is no longer in charge of the resurgent 5th and has barricaded himself into his base. So, someone's displaced him in order to put the Reichsman in charge. Requiem would NEVER stand down voluntarily.
I think Schadenfreude is the Axis America version of Nosferatu, possibly contacted and brought across by Requiem himself in a bid for help, and it's Schadenfreude who's behind the whole thing.
Is this anything like the truth? -
Should we restrict our questions to what's already in the game, or can we ask about stuff currently in Closed Beta?

I was with Sadako >_>. I kind of triggered things early, like in City Hall and the portal xD

That would explain why the story seemed to jump a little in places. -

Yes - Savior of Boomtown.
Which I thought was a bit ironic, really, considering the state of Boomtown... -
Task Force Excalibur for the surprisingly rapid win!

We just defeated Reichsman.

Heroside TF contact seems to be Dr. Khan in Founder's Falls, near the train.

MA arcs can now have up to 3 keywords applied to them!!

I hope the Dom buffs are included.
[/ QUOTE ]
They aren't.
[/ QUOTE ]
Any hint as to when we will see the Dom buffs? Cuz my mind/psi is waiting patiently for them so he can finally help his brother to defeat the enemys.
[/ QUOTE ]
Fixed.

However, I don't believe we've reached a general agreement as to what a "healer" really is, in CoX terms.
[/ QUOTE ]
A healer is any character who takes responsibility for maintaining teammates' health on an ongoing basis via the use of healing powers.
what?
[/ QUOTE ]
except to some people it means "has a healing power" or to some it means "didnt bother with their blast or control set and bought the stealth and medicine pools"
[/ QUOTE ]
it's okay. I know.
Let me see if I can manage another two years before the next lapse. -

Here's a question for you all to chew on- should newbies to CoH/CoV ever Powerlevel?
[/ QUOTE ]
That depends on who's asking.
If we're holding a meeting of the Seekrit Forum Cabal and deciding what the guiding principles of CoH are going to be, then I will say 'It's up to them whether they want to powerlevel or not.'
If you're a newbie, and you're asking me 'should I powerlevel?' then I will say 'I would advise against it, because you'll miss some fun experiences on the way up.'
Just about anything pleasurable in a game is ultimately about fresh experience. At first, the whole journey from 1 to 50 is fresh. On another time round, you might discover zones and missions you hadn't done the first time. The next time round, you might feel that the only freshness was in the type of character you'd chosen to play and how it differed from the others. By that stage, you might well be thinking not about any possible variety in the journey, but about the variety in the character's abilities. That's commonly the point at which people start powerlevelling. -

Any ideas? (And if you post a suggestion, please just add a quick sentence as to why you think the song fits - it'll help when I listen to it to try and put it in a context.)
[/ QUOTE ]
Positron: Atomic (Blondie) or Neutron Dance (Pointer Sisters). These should be self-explanatory.
Sister Psyche: Dizzy (as covered by Vic Reeves and the Wonderstuff) - for the lyrics, really...
'I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it's you, girl, making it spin...' -

I think the problem is just with the purposes of the zones. It's too easy for the zones to degrade into zergs where nobody cares about the "objectives." This is especially apparent in Recluse's Victory.
[/ QUOTE ]
During I14 Closed Beta I suggested there should be a change to RV: increase the chance for a PvP recipe to drop for a given side based on how many pillboxes they control, with the highest chance of all being during the 'zone won' phase. That might actually get people to care about capturing pillboxes and winning the zone.
I still think they should do this.
