The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
Great idea, look forward to it!!!

Somebody ask about this...I mean "yet" might mean tommorrow.....
That makes you old? They were playing that in the 80s.

If any answers are of the "soon", or "I can't say much" or "we haven't decided yet" variety.........I WILL shoot someone.
I've already forgotten about most of you

Flori........Texas. Yeah, that's right...........Texas.

I dont know if its me, but this seems like a weak attempt at damage control (oh, lets throw something out there to take their mind off I5)...
Or perhaps its the fact that Im just fuming that they keep nerfing every AT accross the board every time they do an issue. I mean come on...
Just my angry two cents
I'm in Florida, I'll be happy to shoot anyone that "threatens" me. Seriously though. When limited to 6 total questions, we better not see any "Soon", "I can't comment yet", or anything else like that. Otherwise, the devs are evil, and I want them to prove how evil they are... "Eat this kitten!"

[/ QUOTE ] It only took me 247, licking in the same spot. Granted, this was some 25yrs or so ago, so the Tootsie Pop i licked may not be the Tootsie Pop that is around today.
All I know is....
There is a reported history of Geko NOT liking answering questions from the forum.
But then again, it is only six questions, but since he is the powers guy....
I imagine his thread will be huge indeed.
And Recluse's thread will be tons dealing with ..
When is CoV coming out for beta yada yada yada
We already know poor States thread will be full of more I hate I5's and Why did you do this after a year and that after a year.
Hopefully there will be new and exciting questions.
Good luck to all in posing good questions

This is a general question with a specific follow up.
How do you guys feel about the negative comparisons to the "standard" MMO game format of teams requiring a specific make up in order to be successful? What was once seen as one of the greatest strengths of CoH, the pick up team, seems to be headed towards the more traditional "healer, dmg guy, tank" setup of other games rather than the forgiving team model that doesn't require any AT that we are used to. This is something many have come here to avoid. Do you guys consider these comparisons when designing content?
and the follow up to Manticore, "can we learn more about this in the Web of Arachnos?"
Level 50 is a journey, not a destination.

I knew the devs were bad, but eating kittens is just plain wrong, and no one should do it... ever!
Neat idea...
Speaking of 80s commercials, here's a link to one that I think is appopriate:

I figure that is why those guys appear last on the list. CoV will be in beta and I5 will be live before it gets to those guys.
Greetings Heroes!
Today we are starting a new series in the Developer Forum called Ask a Developer. This series will be similar to that of Ask Statesman except that this time, we will highlight a different developer with each issue. Here is the list of Developers (in order), that will be featured:
Manticore
Geko
Positron
Capt. Mako
War Witch
Statesman
Lord Recluse
Each issue will begin with a thread to solicit questions from you, the players, and will include a short bio of the developer that highlights their job function at Cryptic Studios. This should provide everyone with a better understanding of who does what, and allow you to ask educated questions that relate to that developers area of expertise.
A week after the intro thread for a specific developer is posted, the community coordinators from the United States and Europe will each choose 3 questions for the developer to answer (for a total of 6). Once these are answered, they will be posted for all to enjoy!
Look for the first in the series to begin tomorrow, 8/5/05 in a thread posted right here in the Developers Corner containing Manticores bio. Get your question-asking caps on, for we look forward to seeing what inquiries you come up with based on the information thats made available!
If you have a specific in game, account, tech or billing problem please contact our Customer Support team via The Knowledge Base "Ask A Question" page.
