..Right! Now all I've gotta do is drive on down to Cryptic studios, get Statesman drunk, and soon all the secrets of what is on the development table for issue 3 shall be mine! Mwahahaha!

..wait, doesn't Statesman have some sort of super-tolerance to mind altering substances..? Must be one of those new non-combat powers...

Use a woman; there's no known defense. Once you think you have one figured out... WHAM!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Somehow I don't think that interactions between men and women in that "special" way will be included in the "Non-Combat Powers"

Though honestly, isn't it all the same anyway with implimented PvP?

Male Hero: OMG u r HOT!
Female Hero: /duel
Male Hero: LOL i PWNZ joo!
Female Hero: (massive explosion)
Male Hero:

...Back on topic, then...

I am looking forward to Update 3.

Way forward.

Three months forward.

You know, for a hero, you have an evil streak a mile wide.

Please tell me we're getting a couple of crouch emotes? PLEAAAASE? (Holds up a poster of Spidey crouching on top of a building as an example.)

And how about something besides perfect weather?

And bare feet as a costume option. (Okay, that one's admittedly odd.)

And better gamepad support (I'd like to be able to assign the mouse click to talk to someone or open a door to a gamepad button--if this can be done, will someone please let me know.)

And PLEASE don't store my graphics settings on the server. Save 'em on my machine, where it makes sense to store them. (So I don't have problems switching between machines.)

By the way, my other half, who swore he'd never play an online game, is now hopelessly addicted to this game. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Kittens. We have already established that elsewhere. Gun toting, mugging, psychic kittens...that chain mez...and have giant swords that do 468000 points of damage. I wont complain. I love kittens. I know there will be people that say they unbalance the early game play and mess up mishes, but...I love kittens so...

Dammit, there he goes again.

I've been keeping track of rumors on my website for Update #3. They are as follows:

---
Customized Weapons (for people that use weapons (ie. not blasters, MA scrappers, etc...) - those come at a later time) - But this might not make it....

Trench Coats and other flowing capes. Capes of different material - probably going to make it.

The SSOCS - Super Secret Out of Combat System. Whatever this is - Guarenteed to be there (I think that was Statesman's exact words - they were going to push off the customizable weapons for this...)

New AT's: Bow and/or Sonic powers...

Player Bases (Gotta get ready for COV after all) - I'm thinking update #4 tho...

---

There was one other one I thought... *runs off to look*

Oh, that's right:

More Trials, possibly TF's.

Prestiege classes. Once your character reaches level 50, you will unlock the 'prestiege class' for that AT. This is a whole new character to play with.

---

There, those are the current rumors of items to be in Update #3 as stated in various CoH interviews by Statesman or someone else....

I have to laugh for everytime I see this request as it's been in the game since launch. Try flipping through the uptions under the "Flat" boot style sometime.

Actually, I did. And you still look like you're wearing boots. I was hoping to be able to discern toes. That's why it's an admittedly odd request.

I'm still waiting for wings and/or fluffier tails(foxes and skunks and such...mostly because that will get more of my friends online...you wouldn't imagine the number of times this has become a sticking point). (and cat ears for guys)

Medusae really needs to grow a set of wings before I give her flight...be a long wait, I guess

oh yes, the rest of my wish list

be able to set the slider bars to different settings for different costumes to facilitate shape-changing better

she's small, she's HUGE

She's a she, she's a he? (dopplegangers and Ranma fans)

huge female build

prowler male/female builds (the sort of nearly all fours body set a la Penance from Generation X)

power effects optimization (FINGER CLAWS! TALONED FEET! FINGER CLAWS! TALONED FEET!)

Skin textures (I want a vine-skinned heroine, but I DON'T want her to be NAKED!!!!)

sorry for the yelling, I'm tired, and sometimes it's fun to rant uselessly into the air...

seriously though...they've probably got everything pretty much figured out, it sounds like it'll be cool...and generally, no matter what the change, the whiners and idiots will always whine and be idiots...

really, the changes at every 10 level (20, 30, 40) has killed me numerous times before getting used to it, I don't see why a major patch shouldn't do the same...

ROFL! I love it when I get a see a good witticism like this fairly early in the day. Just makes the day a little shorter and better. Thanks!

Oh, and YEAH...what he said. Please just let me resize it and add some transparency to it. That would be enough.

Well, I hope wings is included in the "other kinds of capes" set

if so, I can wait until 20 to give Med flight

also...with prestige classes, does your level 50 become the new class.....or do you have to start a new character with it?

Could you respec to it with the 50 char????

All of this is unknown. Most people seem to think that getting to 50 will open up an "AT character slot" for you to make a new one, but I don't think this is really known.

About the trenchcoats, though: I think I remember one of the devs saying that they are very tricky and they won't be able to get them in for a while, probably NOT by issue 3.

Statesman, why don't you and Positron get together and make a cryptic hint in a bunch of those obscure languages you know (egyptian?), and then he can put it into some crazy code! That can be the out of combat system until Issue #3 comes out.

Statesman has said that it will be a new character started from scratch. He also said that this is just the first batch of prestige ATs. Others will come along that you don't have to be lvl 50 to unlock. At least.....that's what he says...

Wings will be reserved for the Epic AT for issue 3. Wings as a costume option will be later down the pipe.

I seem to recall reading in an interview recently that they were working on 'bow and arrow' animations/power set for Issue 3.

Anyone else remember this, or am I getting my facts confused. It was in a GameSpy dev journal/interview ... I'd almost swear to it.

HOST - Tired of being on the bad side of one of Statesman's mono-syllabic teasing statement? Well, fear not, now you TOO can learn this wonderful art and at a one-time low low cost.

STRANGELY WELL-SPOKEN AUDIENCE MEMBER - That sounds too good to be true!

HOST - Oh, it's not! The art of Statesmanship goes back centuries into the very basic core of human language development. You can tap into this art by by spending just pennies and making a lot of just dollars.

STRANGELY WELL-SPOKEN AUDIENCE MEMBER - Hmmm. Can you give me an example?

HOST - Sure. Let's take a look!

/screen waves back and forth briefly shifting to a living room scene. A woman is sewing in a recliner. A man walks in.

HUSBAND - What's for dinner, baby?

WIFE - Meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

HUSBAND - Wow. I had been building it up in my mind and now that I hear what's for dinner I've been let down. I'm going to go have sex with the lady next door.

/snap back to set.

HOST - See. Once the husband knew what he was getting, he didn't want it anymore. That's because anticipation is a powerful human emotion. Once you learn how to keep folks wanting something that they don't know anything about, you have them at your mercy!

STRANGELY WELL-SPOKEN AUDIENCE MEMBER - Wow. I never thought of it that way. But how would that apply to that brief, but beautifully poignant morality tale we just witnessed?

HOST - I'm glad you asked.

/snap back to living room. The woman again sits in a recliner as her husband enters.

MAN - What's for dinner, honey?

WOMAN - Funny you should mention honey.

/brief silence.

MAN - Is it something with honey?

/brief silence.

MAN - Toast? or, uh, aww come on baby what is it?

/brief silence.

MAN - Are we eating breakfast for dinner? Aww man that would be so good right now. Or is it... ummmm ham. I love honey-baked ham? Come on you ahve to tell me.

/brief silence.

WOMAN - I'm kindof thirsty.

MAN - Rushes off to get her something to drink.

/snap to set

HOST - See, it's just that simple. And with our fine product you'll learn how to extend your power indefinitely!

STRANGELY WELL-SPOKEN AUDIENCE MEMBER - Now THAT'S Impossible!

HOST - Is it?

/snap to dinner table. The man is greedily eating meatloaf and mashed potatoes. The woman is similing contently.

MAN - This is great! I love meatloaf. (smack) But I don't taste any honey.

/brief silence.

WOMAN - I didn't say when or where honey would come into play, now did I?

MAN - (with a big grin) Oh, you mean, tonight... upstairs... your headache is gone?

WOMAN - (In a high-pitched sing-songy voice) Now, I didn't SAY that.

The man begins to eat faster.

/snap back to set

HOST - See, you too can use anticipation as an ally. Just send check or money order to
