Well, remember that all of Cryptic's art resources are currently being thrown at CoV, thats why we got such a light update. Its just economics, really. Too bad the arena isn't as fun as I thought it would be. Mostly due to poor map design.

Considering the fact that the devs want to get us into the missions, I think that he means you'll get half as much debt if you die in a mission.

What worries me is that, taken in context with his other post on balance, this could mean that soon fighting 3 minions means you're going to die.

Anyone else confused by this name-nazi decision to only let you change your global chat handle once, and if you typo it you're simply SOL? I went to change mine and typoed it, but since there isn't even a confirmation box or anything, well, the one rare typo I make on that handle (waklingshark instead of walkingshark, hard to even notice until you look real closely) naturally managed to pop in.

So I send a request to please fix the typo. And I get a giant FU from the customer service (once again reinforcing the odd state of affairs in this game, where the development team is accessable, informative, and generally awesome and the customer service team is a useless appendage that occasionally flails about in impotent seizures before returning to its gimpy rest state) telling me it can only be changed once.

Right, so obviously the mechanism exists to change it. So obviously it CAN be changed as many times as they want to. But arbitrarily, they've decided to make it so we can only change it the one time, and if we typo it... well, sorry, you're SOL. If global chat handles will be reset once the beta is over, this is fine. I can change it then. But if I'm stuck with this damn typoed name for the rest of my time playing CoH (which is what it looks like now) I'm more than a little annoyed. They give the example that "Much like regular server character names, it was not designed for players to be able to change their names once their first preferred selection has been made."

Too bad if you mess up your character name, you can realize it in the first few minutes and go back, delete the character, and fix the name. With this, you're just screwed.

This is on the rare times I have to say to cryptic: Bad job. Try again.

So 4 teams of 2 people? So 8 people total? Will that be the limit to the number of heroes battling it out at the same time in a particular instanced battle zone?

Dude, you're probably reading too much into that simple example. I'm willing to bet the limit is going to be "how much can your computer render."

The lesson is that dreams inevitably lead to hideous implosions.

Any time table on when dual pistols as a power set might make it in? I need dual pistols to match my trenchcoat

I bet they're like defenders who can target themselves.

Just smoking would be a great villian emote.
Holding and sipping from a wineglass would be good.
Pushups. Pushups are pretty evil.
Popcorn. You pull out a bag of popcorn and munch from it. For when the heros are in your evil trap.

Give me trenchcoats and dual pistols and I'll be a very very happy man.

Dude, no punching until we get our dual pistols

Wow, your Religion is so important to you that you're worried about a video game. I think you're just looking for a reason to complain. People like to be offended, it makes them feel empowered.

If the seeing the trickle of invasion scouts is so important to you, then prioritize it over your religious observances. If your religion is so important to you, then you should be aware that this life is a small piece of some sort of eternal whatever, and I'm suprised the VIDEO GAME means so much to you.

So, which is it, are you unfaithful or do you just like pretending to be offended because it gives you a chance to attack someone without them having the opportunity to respond?

This is why I can't stand Religionists.

Hold it in Denton, TX so I can ride my bike there.

Seriously though, it needs to be in the middle of the country, but everything north of Dallas is corn fields and cow farms. So, stick it in Dallas!

Or, like I said the first time, Denton, cause I'd love to ride my bike there.

We're going to need guns. Lots of guns.

Good thing there are so many AR/Dev blasters
