FEAR rocked. First game I've played in a while that actually illicited an emotional response from me. There were moments I literally had to hit ESC and walk away from my desk all giddy and goosebumpy.
Last game that illicited a response like that was Manhunt. That game actually made me depressed. I'd never cut it as a serial killer.
[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, but comparing those two is like comparing a spooky graveyard and a toxic waste-dump. No comparsion at all.

Great to have you back, Cuppa... hope you were able to de-compress a bit from last year. We promise to try and make this year a little easier on you... right guys?

Of course you already know I7 includes 40-50 content for CoV, and as with every update more art updates, missions, and quality of life features. The other items in I7 will be revealed when we get the Feature Update.

What about bug fixes with costumes and looping sounds? I'd much prefer these FIRST before adding more content with new bugs. Also, what about the nerfs?
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm more curious to see the new content Bugs will get fixed as the team gets to them - those can happen at any time. Issues with new content are only every few months (new content generally brings a new horde of bugs).
Of course, this means I have about a month to get my villain to level 40! 
As for the speculation on the after 50 class option - Nictus, Coralax, etc ... I can't wait to see what they come up with. I am almost hoping it's something entirely new and unheard of.

[/ QUOTE ]The devs have said the new epics ATs will not require level 50.

When will there be post-50 character development? Some way to continue to improve our shelved characters? Non-accolade badges and PvP aren't character development.
Character development includes but is not limited to:
1) more levels
2) "sideways" development like the Alternate Advancement abilities in EQ (e.g., inherent shortening of recharge times, inherent increases in secondary effects, inherent lowering of endurance costs, increased travel speed, etc.)
3) the "skills" system
4) the "legends" system
5) some sort of crafting system
6) more Hamidon-level monsters and rewards
Is PvP holding you back? Worried about balance issues? Well, WoW doesn't worry about the imbalances in PvP caused by differences in equipment/crafting skills/power development choices, why should you?
What is being planned, and when will it be implemented? Issue 20? 30?
Goldbrick 50 inv/ss tank
Other 50s: Power Beam, Rocky Mantle, STORMIE Agent, Matchless, Major Will, Knightmayor, Femstone, Space Maureen, Crimebuster Ako, Dr. Twilight, Doc Champion, American Gold Eagle
Right now...
for myself...
there is alot of game to play.
I only have time to play COX for 6 hours total on weekends and maybe 9 hours total on weekdays if I am lucky. I have 2 heroes and 2 villians that I play regularly and the highest is only 25. x_x
It will take me forever to get to lvl 50 with any of my toons.
It will also take me forever to get any useful items in my SG's base...we almost have enough for a basic generator. Heh... -_-
I am just not able to put in enough hours to advance very fast...
I'd get more people in my SG, but all of the people I play with regularly are already in SGs (we have about 15, but only about 5 of them actually get any prestige)
So...
For people who grind in about 6 hours a day, lvl 50+ content would be a huge benefit.....however, how much could it possibly be?
A few hundred more hours and you'd be done and wanting more.
I hope the next issue or issues expands on gameplay that can be had at any lvl.
PvP was a nice addition...
However...myself, I don't care to much for it.
I'd rather take on hordes of enemies cooperatively.
Seeing SG missions and more content in that area might be nice aswell...
Perhaps a /chairsit emote?
MID FEBRUARY?? Holy...
Well, I might accually get my Stalker close to 40 by then, dispite the glowie nerf. It doesn't effect me much, I normally like to kill most stuff in the mission ANYWAY, but, i'm really REALLY getting sick of all toggle on toggle off CRAP. Heh, this just adds to missions I find furstraing to do as a stalker.
Kill alls, with my limited attacks, DISPITE the fact i have 5 out of the 6 primary powers i can take up till now, i still only have 2 normal attacks to use in scrapper like battle, and no way to avoid at least a FEW mobs seeing me kill there buddy, no matter HOW sneaky i was...
Rob the banks SUCK, because, with my lack of attacks, beating down that door SUCKS, and every mob they send to stop me sees me cause out constenly out of stealth attacking the door...
Hostages are annoying because i have to unstealh to lead the guy out, restealth to fight ambushes, or mobs i just missed, go find the hostage, and contune on my way.
NOW clicky missions will be annoying because i'll have kill all the mobs, which isn't a big deal, THEN, here's the annoying part, unstealth to click the glowies. Waiting around for for hide to recycle will just add more down time to this guy, and he already has plenty...
the only missions i have fun in now are named boss kill missions... which makes since, i AM an assassin, but still, i'm only allowed to have ONE hassle free mission out of the lot of them?? To quote Carleto, "Das not cool"...

I agree and cant wait for life after 50. I have read a few times that they have the system completed on paper, but just need to create it in game. I see this being implemented for COH and COV at the same time, I am hoping by issue 8 or Issue 9 at the latest. We will see...
Just curious, but what are the dev's priorities? Obviously game breaking bugs would come first, but then what? Post 50 content? New zones or ATs? Game balancing? It seems pretty obvious that it's not stuff to do outside of combat.

CuppaJo is still on her vacation. Unless she's just hiding from me. Which would be hard because I'm such a rabid-fanboy-stalker.

I went on vacation to hide from you A-Cat. 
Yes - I was busy scaring myself half to death playing F.E.A.R. and The Movies for a week after the regular holiday. So if you sent a PM and haven't heard back yet - give me a few days.
Issue 7 - Tentative plan for releasing the "Feature Update" to the website is mid February - so you might as well settle in for about a month of waiting unless a dev decides to drop some hints.

When you guys say mid February, do you mean I7 hitting test or going live, tentatively speaking of course?
Hasn't it usually been that the issue goes to test a few weeks or so after a Features Update? If so, that would put Issue 7 on the test server probably near the end of February.
Another month? 
I guess what they said about spacing Issues out more after CoV launches was true. It'll be nearly 4 months since our last Issue by that time. Hopefully this means it'll be a lot bigger though.

Oh ... so it's ok for Statesman to respond to all of the ED changes, feedback, and questions by pretending he's chatted it up with geko about increasing base flight speed? Otherwise, are we supposed to be thrilled to receive the results of that discussion at least 15 weeks later? I know you're all hungover from vacations and everything Cuppa, but a little math and look at the calendar says that's how long it will have been if no news is pending til mid February.
I7 must be one hell of a patch if this is all the forum and player base are getting before then.

Man, if we gotta wait til Mid/end March til I7 goes live, that will be a huge stink bomb.
After all the problems with the winter events, perhaps a little more internal testing will be a good thing.

Cuppa... you forgot "and more nerfs for regen".

Mid February for the Website Update? So March to see it on Test and April before it hits live then.
I heard DDO is scheduled for a Mid Feb release.

Just checked, it's late Feb. February 28th to be exact. Still a good two months before we'll see I7.
