This was a waste of 2 minutes reading...None of the information was new and why are they still promoting AE?
I wonder how many missions will require a side change from the sound of it you might be in for the long hall? If they are planning to parody Desdemona's confusion and Malestrom's descent then it wont be a quick partaking?!
I personally wont side switch, Ill stay a villain and maybe just explore the shade of grey that is praetoria. -
I wouldn't mind an east coast con...Florida is nice...NYC is awesome...Boston will be great.
I just dont like the idea of going to these cons just for CoH and having to shell out $xxx.xxx to go visit the devs and pick up a code.
I can see why they wont come to the east coast for the same reason we wont go to the west coast.... it costs too much damn money to fly. -
I never said I was ticked about scrappers getting a 4th pool. That was never the case. What is the case, as Frosticus said, is that the POSSIBILITY (read that word carefully) that a single faction will receive 4 additional power sets (not counting Blaze since it is confirmed) and in addition to that, they might also get a new power...that sounds far from an unreasonable whine but more like a serious gripe.
The Dev's that gave the interview haven't remarked, responded, denied or confirmed this statement. We will just have to wait for open beta to take place. Seeing as they are removing the i15 open beta forums this week, this might happen next week.
I mean it makes perfect sense that they would add new EPP to heroes, they just got a ton of our power sets and that gives them room to grow...I wonder if blasters would get Radiation Mastery?!
While I am talking about growth Toxic Blast for Corrs!! Can you imagine spraying the floor with mucus to create a TAoE Slow that is green...Drool!
I love the idea of self generating environments, If the dev's could code the game so that a building that is destroyed gets slowly rebuilt as time passes (Monday and Friday during maintenance) and gets re-destroyed again. I mean that would be awesome for villains. I also want to be able to attack civilians on Mayhem Maps. Add a new set of badges:
Defeat 100 Civilians: Attacker
Defeat 200 Civilians: Life Taker
Defeat 300 Civilians: Psychopath
Defeat 400 Civilians: Sociopath -
The part that gets me is that if I dual build a bane/crab I have to have the crabs on my bane when I am using my bane build.
-
Can we get a weather forecast on the coming storm? I think as far as a coming storm...it sure is a slow storm...
-
I got the same impression about low level content being for GR.
-
When did I say I want there to be a higher level?! Did you read the posts...I said twice that I dont agree with a level raise...

I play on champion...why does everyone thing that it is sooo easy to find people
I have a hard time finding anyone to play with, I play as a villain and I play on champ..when people are on they are either in AE, farming in GV or standing there doing lord knows what...I don't understand why some people think that gaming on the large server is as easy as gaming on a small server.
I joined the server BMT and I have been asking if anything is starting redside and I get private tells telling me that CoV is a dead game and that most people play CoH. I ask publically who wants to team... nothing, I search for people and ask them if they want to team, they say no they are farming or they not looking to team.
I have run Temp Power Tuesday, Strikeforce Saturday... I sit there and wait and no one wants to go at it. Someone said that they already have those of blueside
Teaming on a smaller server really is not that easy as everyone says it is. -
I dont have much experience with a VEAT but I love the simple fact that I am getting two AT's rolled into one and then dusted with sugar.
With my Fort I get the Psi goddness and with my Widow I am getting a Claws Spines++/SR mutt.
I really do like dual building my VEAT -
I wanna see the clean up this might need if it was a mistake
-
Silly Roderick...Did you read the article I posted a few posts above yours?
I know its ambiguous...even tho its in black and white....I mean how can posi and the other dev get that wrong LOL -
Quote:wish they would have taken the SOON marketing crap with them... why is it still around?So, you're going to the game made by the company that started that "SOON crap"... That'll show 'em.

I want some news I swear I am starting to get antsy! I wonder if the paid expansion will be in the $15.00-$30.00 dollar price range? The current packs cost 10 bucks and that's just costume pieces.
I don't want to start more..I really don't. but CoV was their first expansion and offered 4 zones and 5 AT's countless new powers...how much will their second expansion cost if it only offers 2 new power sets, and one world? How many zones can that world hold?
I think now would be the time to get the news truck rolling with some more pertinent posting -
ok maybe I unexaggerated... but I say well get a few large steel canyons with gold paint...
For an expansion that is going to be going into closed beta we don't know anything about it. I honestly would not be surprised with the zones if they were large steel canyons with gold paint. If Praetoria looks like what the screen in Statesman video screen then hell I'll be happy but I really want more for 30-40 bucks...
I really thing that the marketing geniuses at paragon studios...norcal...ncsoft ( they have more name changes that the artist formerly knows as prince...prince...or that symbol)... the only other marketing geniuses were the masterminds behind crystal pepsi...really
I want some solid news... -
No AE in Praetoria!
Don;t even get that glimmer in their eyes -
I am getting yelled at because I posted this elsewhere and was called a whiner... like I care what my monitor tells me LOL.
I thought that epic would mean both... and I am hoping that we do get some redside epic expansions... I know heroes havent had their APP's touched in forever and the Idea of blueside getting 5 new pools and a new power is a slap in the face.
right now the other thread is considering this a miswording or a misprint...I am hoping it is.
Red side already got their 5th power. We got a new power to most of the PPP's with the exception of brutes that share a pool with VEATS... thats where I see the space for growth...
Ghost Widow would have an EPP for Night Widows and Fortunatas while Mako and Black Scorpion would get the Banes and Crabs.
In addition to that the brutes would get their additional 5th power. -
Quote:I'm leaning towards poor word choice. We haven't heard anything about new EPPs other than Blaze Mastery and a single vagely worded sentence seems a poor way for the devs to reveal it.
The devs havent exactly denied it...I mean it does feel right, they did say that there were alot of things they didnt want to say
Lets take defenders:
Primary sets:
Archery
Dark Blast
Electrical Blast
Energy Blast
Ice Blast
Psychic Blast
Radiation Blast
Sonic Attack
Secondary sets
Cold Domination
Dark Miasma
Empathy
Force Field
Kinetics
Radiation Emission
Sonic Resonance
Storm Summoning
Trick Arrow
EPP
Dark Mastery
Electricity Mastery
Power Mastery
Psychic Mastery
I could see them adding cold mastery. It isnt farfetched.
My post may be considered a whine but come on...Bluepops get 1 whole new EPP and 1 extra power to the existing EPP's and villains might get a new power for brutes VEATs if anything? How the hell is my whine not reasonable?
I think we need some sorta of Redname clarification here because for what
its worth i16 should be renamed "i16:Colorful Misconceptions"
Quote:Because you won't be able to use the proliferated powersets to Villains? Or make use of Power Customization redside?
Scrappers had the FEWEST choices for Ancillary Pools out of any AT. They had a grand total of three choices. They are being brought up to being tied for the fewest number of choices. I highly doubt that any other AT is going to be getting anything but 5th powers for existing sets that don't have 5 powers in them.
But villains will be getting something this issue that they can use. Could they use to get more? Of course they could. But they will be getting something.
You also are getting some of our powers ::Enter zone of speculation:: plus an extra 5 pools...plus an extra power for each pool that already exists!
doesnt sound fair? I reall hope its a misprint/misconception on the websites part... -
http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/3/feature/3424
Read right above the green MM pic?!
I mean it does sound like... no it clearly says that all Epic Power Pools are getting a new powerset and all existing sets get a 5th power. Does that sound right? 5 new pools for heroes and 5 new powers? Villains get 1 new possible power in the Brute/VEAT PPP?
I guess being able to color out Psi blast for Corrs green makes up for it...wait we dont get Psi Blast for Corrs...darn -
I thought so too but I don't this that posi and horatio would make that mistake. It does sound like the devs are giving Heroes a new epic power pool and villains an extra power for brutes/VEATS.
I mean if this is the case I will call it quits, I am getting increasingly tired of blueside getting all the shiny stuff and we get overlooked. If blueside APP's get 1 whole new set for each mastery and a 5th power then thats just a plain insult. I doubt we are getting a new patron...I highly doubt we are getting anything but an extra power for the already mentioned AT.
Sad...very sad... -
Quote:Yeah, I agree! You can only run any TF in the game, or go to Ouro and go back to any arc you missed (or one you didn't miss, but really liked), or take part in Mothership raids, or take part in Hami raids, or take part in Rikti/Zombie invasions, or fight GMs, or write AE arcs, or run AE challenge arcs, or something else that I'm sure I've forgotten...
There's NOTHING to do!
I will admit that I have been ignorant to Oro.
I will disagree with you on this though you soft tongued angel of beauty! I play on champion, Its a fairly casual/small server I think and the same people play the same events over and over again and that gets boring and tired. To make the repetitive/boring campaign even stronger, I am a main red-side layer...making my teaming objectives even more limited.
--TF/SF: On my first and only hero I did all the TF's and rarely did them again for the fact that I already have done them. For my dozen villains I have done out SF's so many times that I can prolly do them in my sleep.
--Oro: I full admit that I have not done as much Oro work with my villains as I should and I only recently ( Literally yesterday morning ) did I find out that I could do my missions and the ones I've missed over again. At first I thought why would I want to do them over again? The only one I love doing over again is the chaos arc from vivacious vervandi...she is my fav! but yes this does stretch my playability and I didn't need you're comment to figure that out! What a world we live in!
--Mothership Raids/Hami Raids: Again, I am on a server and faction side that is really lightly populated...I have done a hami raid before it was changed on blue side several times. but red side is a hard event BMT makes attempts but there is rarely enough people to get in on it so you cant hold me accountable for that can we?!
--Rikti/Zombie invasions: While I love the invasions they are accessible to all levels are I don't count them as end game content. They are fun and I love the zombie invasion even more. Something about the Rikti Invasion/Zombie Invasion is that they use the same system. This I read off paragonwiki a while back and I am interested in other types of invasions not just the same 2 invasions. One other thing about Zombie Invasions is that for most part they are triggered and those details aren't sure. On a larger server you might guess that its triggered by the 20% chance that when giving Annah/Granny Beldam her salvage you might get the event...on champs its maybe once every few weeks and usually happens when I am not online.
--Fight GMs: While I admit that this is fun.. you need people for this and you still need to have a large group of people to do this sometimes... not everyone plays at the same time and from what I understand Champ is a west coast server and I live on the East Coast...I didn't know this before I signed up and I have already made home here...I have my own SVG, enough money and salvage stored to feed my altitis. The other part of the GM problem...villains get 4...heroes get 10....not much fun doing them over and over again till we bleed!
--AE: I am not going to get into serious AE discussions seeing as you have already made it clear that I am moron about AE in other posts...but I am not going to waste my time leveling up an alt though in game content to write an MARC that wont get played because its not farmable...
There is stuff to do trish... but it gets boring very quickly when you do it over and over and over again... its like slamming your head on a table for fun!
Also don't get me wrong I love this game and I love leveling up to 50 in a slow, in game content way fighting a few hours a day and making small progress, I love exploring the zones and clearing the maps on my own, taking screen shots of new places. I love taking pics around the islands of talos, some of those places are just awesome or taking a forest run in croatoa or taking pics of me at the weenie stands in nerva...that alone makes me want to level my toons.
And I also don't agree with the level cap going to 60... I don't see the point? There are no powers to get at 51-60 unless the devs introduce new post 50 power pools which wouldn't be so bad. Or give us extreme missions that allow us to upgrade our origin power? The options are endless. I would also say that new slots for our current powers wont be so hot since by level 50 most of our powers can be max' d and the only powers that would need the slots might be the EPP/APP...I don't know I would vote for a new Post 50 Power pool -
Other than purple IO's what are these ways to up your 50...I'm a bit slow at 8 am? BTW I never laid my hands on a purple! When I said this on a Dr. Kahn TF the team laughed and said I don't farm enogh...lol...go fig!
-
Got to love those condescending cut-n-pastes!
I hope they do something for 50's I have a few 50's that have more dust on them that grannies goodie-zone!
I really hope it isnt letting us get 50+ Enh because that would ruin stuff? You really have to ask what they are going to do to make a 50 better and in turn make people actually play their 50?
I mean there are so few things we can do! -
Kindler... you said "should"... focus on should....
We are going to be paying for 2 new powersets (ones we have been asking for and for a while), a gold paintjob'd steel canyon and a system feature that has been underwraps so much that I am starting to think its a myth!
I think the marketing dept should make some sorta of leash release on the devs and let them say something... seriously if they are trying to 1-up the competition by not releasing info until the weekend of release then wow the marketting team is slightly smarter than the marketting team that decided to market Crystal Pepsi ...you remember that right?!
We're coming towards the 3rd quarter of the gaming fiscal year... I think its time they gave us more than look at what Desdemona wears because frankly...CO is starting to sound Freem worthy?
Oh Torres, I read the thin FAQ and I read her awesome backstory and I saw the video... from what I gathered she was swayed on states side not tyrants...so still why does she side with tyrant?
