1) Beta will probably start around Oct-Nov
I'm sticking by my 18 months prediction, but it could be 12 months (we'll see it Spring or Fall 2010).
WoW just announced it's expansion -- we won't see that for 18 months (Lich King was 18 months from announcement to release)
I don't see CoH doing any differently... -
If I say, 'please may I get into the closed beta,' in this thread, will I get in? I need practice for the Going Rogue closed beta.

Quote:My question is, doesn't it apply already (when a level is set to 50, for example), or are we to expect something different? Since we have you here, can you explain? pleaseOriginally Posted by Positron
Super-sidekicking applies to Mission Architect as well.

Quote:Actually, by what you said here, it will be close to the same. I've been in a few missions like this, and it puts everyone at 49-50 as it stands now -- and we fight 52-54s.Originally Posted by Lemur_Lad
AE was a PL dream because it leveled people up to the mission minimum, but most of the foes were far above that. So a lvl 45 minimum mission loaded with level 51 or 52 foes was an xp bonanza. Now the team members will be auto SKd to 49. The leader could still bump the foes to 54 under the new difficulty system, but that would make the killing much harder and slower for them.
The team would be more likely to have to help, instead of just stand there, and thus more likely to be actually earning their xps.
Requires a team effort, so I doubt the devs have too much of a problem with the 'Boss farms' (I think I've been on more failed 'Boss Farms' than successful ones -- it requires a good team)
These changes seem like they took what they learned from AE and applied to to the rest of the game.
Positron: How does this effect AE? -

First after a redname... can this be stickied?

Great job! Best one I have seen so far...

I think it just shows the things that require serial numbers -- server transfers are just straight-up transactions without a serial number.
Perks I believe are the Booster Packs... -
I'll post mine when the NC Account Management isn't under maintenance....
Mine look similar to everyone else, except for the dates... I also spend way too much on this game. -
I'm hitting 63 months today... hopefully I'll be in the first wave of tier 1...

Quote:Would there be Global name conflicts? I thought they were Global, meaning, across every server (EU and US) -- You would see conflicts in the MA if there were any... wouldn't we? Isn't MA global?Originally Posted by ChaosExMachina
It would be cool, but just how would they deal with global name conflicts?

I'm guessing it could start anywhere between 7am and 9am PDT and last for 72 hours?

Given the hatred we feel for these forums Mr. Smarty-pants, we would have preferred it be towards the beginning of that range, not the middle or end.

For drama sake they are holding out until 8:59 am PDT ..... -

I thought maintenance started already? ... and the new boards won't be live for 72 hours after they bring these boards down for 2 hours... correct?

Nevermind, I just read Mod8's post... I guess it could start at any moment between 7 and 9 am PDT? And last for 72 hours.... -

As a few others have said, I would really like to be in the closed beta testing for Issue 16.
I did my best to log in and test and give feedback for Issue 15 (with the schedule I had at the time)... so hopefully that will help my cause.
And also I'd like to be given a slot as compensation for missing the Double XP weekend coming up (you all picked the only weekend of the entire year where I'm out of town).

Hopefully it involves beating foes to death with live sharks.
That would make my Brute very happy. Especially if the sharks also have chainsaws.

Now farmers can farm in silence... this is a good thing.

How about some weather changes. Some rain, snow, cloudy days would be nice. Trees changing with the seasons.

Weather changes would be great -- it would help with the constant gray of the Rogue Isles... independence Port... Kings Row... etc... -
I think there is room for some more open world missions in CoH -- there is a little bit, but not enough.
I agree with others that KS (kill stealing) and camping aren't fun, but there is something to be said about doing missions in the open world -- it's easier to run into others who are doing your mission and start a team that way (to avoid kill stealing).
More variation on the mission doors would be a good thing for CoH... -
More details.... "later this year" ... I'm sticking to my thought that is will be out in late 2010...

I already play all the ATs.

I have played them, but I don't like playing in the Rogue Isles.
I have a feeling, though, that switching sides will amount to switching over solely in the mirror universe rther than, say, having a Stalker running around in normal Paragon City with the general hro populace.
[/ QUOTE ]
I hope you're wrong and we can have MMs running around normal Paragon City (for example)... having a mirrored city will spread the population out and it may just turn into a ghost town.
Does this mean the markets may finally be combined? -

Actually he doesn't say "deleted", he says "lose access to", which infers that the characters will still take up slots on your account, yet for all intents and purposes are deleted.

Was that before or after:

... not mention that everyone is not seeing that he also says 'egregious' -- which means, that the majority of people will be ok... it's probably the people who may have created an arsenal of 50s for PvP... -

1. Animal Spirit Control (Controllers/Dominators) - I was thinking that an Animal set for MMs might be good, but it doesn't really sound too Mastermind-like to be the evil ruler of a band of critters. Although I do like the idea of a squirrel version of Gang War. Anyway, I reworked it into a possible Controller powerset. Most of the controls would work like temporary pet summons. You want to hold someone, you activate the power "Bear Hug" and it holds the enemy with a ghostly-green image of a bear embracing them. You want to disorient someone, so you summon the spirits of birds to constantly wizz about their head. Stuff like that.
2. Elementals (Mastermind) - Basic premise being that you summon elementals as your pets. We already have some current in-game options for this. Look at the Magmite Lords in the Hollows. Or at simple ole Fire Imps.
-Minions: Fire Imp models with Fire Blast powers
-LTs: Magmite Lord or Devouring Earth Sentry models with Stone Melee powers.
-Boss: Elemental Storms from the Shadow Shard "models" to provide energy damage and some control.
A little bit of damage from fire, smash, and energy. It'd go great with /Storm too!
[/ QUOTE ]
So far, in this thread, these are two sets that I would really like to see... and it sounds like something they could implement with the Mastermind pets being versions of things already running around.
