I cant read the artical (stupid work filters). But to me it would seem that most of the stuff on it would probably be speculation. I bet they just put things on there thats been rumored for a while now. Ill wait for the official word from our friends at cryptic first.

They have screenshots. I'm assuming that much like their preview/hintings at Winter Event 05, it's official and real.

If you have any logs from the chats or access to them that would help, then you could use things that they have actually said, or paraphrase to make it fit.

I love this. After all this neysaying and putting down of the developers for what they've been doing (or lack there of). Then they turn around with this, and just throw it in all those Dooooomers faces. HA!

Good job! I, for one, never lost any faith in your abilities.

OK. I havnt had a chance to read all of this thread, but read one post that got me thinking. What if the next took place in the place where the Omega Team (pretty sure thats their name, the Hero-1 Group) went to stop the Rikti. I remember some redname saying something about Hero-1's return. What if he came back and told about this new world, and it opened up for people to go to. Might be interesting. Could expand on the whole Rikti story, could have a Space element to it. Just food for though... hmmm Im hungry.

You sure were.. and you didnt take kindly to being dominated

Ill agree that alot of those peices do need to come over. I would love to see my Zombie skin come over, finally be able to make my zombie hero, but doubt it will happen, sadly.

One of the first rules of game design is that when realism conflicts with fun, fun wins.

The goal of base raiding is to make it an event, something both sides can look forward to, strategize for, and participate in. Unannounced raids might be "realistic" (and I use quotes here because we are talking about a comic book) but they sure aren't much fun for the defenders. If I have to be on line all the time, am forced to bail missions because I have to go defend my base, or find someone trashed our base at 11 AM just because my SG has to deal with real-life things like jobs and work, well that is not fun.

To be fun, a base raid has to feel exciting -- and fair. That means fair to both sides. That means giving both SG's notice so both groups can organize their members, make arrangements to be online and develop plans. Scheduling will actually strengthen SG's -- it gives them more purpose, more "We need to be online at this time."

We are also looking at some other options for "instant raids" for pick up play, but again finding ways to keep things from being a no-fun grief fest.

Tower Raids in AO had this problem. Was on countless teams that broke up because 1 or more members had to run off to defend their towers. I rather like this idea. And if it dosnt seem "realistic" you can pretend, say if your the villian base, that you heard threw the underworld grapevine that the heroes are planning to attack, so you have a chance to get ready, or vise versa.

Yay, now that I finally got my issue I can join in saying how much I like it. *two thumbs up*

What are the chances that the novel and CoV will come out around the same time? Do I smell tie in? or just dirty laundry :-\
