...and did I see an Electric Brute? If so...yup, red, not blue.

If so or if not...that "reach-for-the-sky, pull-down-a-big-ol'-lightning-bolt-and-then-AoE-the-hell-outta-stuff" power was awesome!

I really hope that if THAT is electric melee... that they revise it and make it either Blue, White or Yellow.

Electricity isnt red...
Otherwise that lighting from the sky thing is cool (just not in red)

[/ QUOTE ] actualy certaint kind of lightning is red.

So, who thinks the Arachnos Flier could be the CoV version of Hammi?

[/ QUOTE ]
nope
from the sound of rumors i hear, we may be fighting the Freedom Phalanx...

If this is the case, I cry foul. I have regen scrappers that want a piece of Statesman for all our nerfs.

As much as I'd like to run States' face into the ground, I think you're getting Freedom Phalanx and Freedom Corps confused.

But then again, we are fighting Recluse. States can't be far behind. Am I the only one scared crapless about fighting such an important character and, more importantly, what's going to happen since this will probably mean Recluse's death in storyline, too? Ghost will probably take over...

And excuse my ignorance to all you spandex-lovers (heroes), but who's Hammi?

EDIT: Doesn't ANYONE have an ETA for I7? -Sob-

 

Posted

No, no ETA for I7 going live or even going on test. All we have is uncommitted ballpark estimates from various employees which can not be counted on for being accurate. Originally, one such ballpark had I7 hitting Test in February.

Add to the confusion: Freedom Phalanx v. Freedom Corp v. Hero Corp. Discuss.

--

Yes, that is War Witch. As was already mentioned in this thread. War Witch the developer, who plays with War Witch the character, is part of the in-house pre-Test testing.

There is no point here.

Were those Thug MMs I saw near the end of the video?

[/ QUOTE ]

OF COURSE THEY WERE DIMWIT!!!

I'm so happy, that was the best show case video about that MM set and it looked AWSOME!!

Hmmm. Watched the video and really my first response is...

Nothing to see . . . move along.

Munitions Mistress - 50 Mercs/Traps

"Because it is so small, rather than grow outward, the island was forced to build upward...

...Passing through the streets of Grandville it is possible to catch an occasional glimpse into the Gutters below. Through imperfect junctions, missing grates, and open sewage pits, a vertigo-inducing drop plunges into the darkness of the Gutter...

This claustrophobic neighborhood extends from Spider City all the way to the very tops of the WEB buildings. With tangles of cables, catwalks, fire escapes, and makeshift hiding places..."


Sounds very cool... but it also sounds like a HUGE framerate killer.

It's allblurry anyway. Try one of the links provided by others earlier in the thread to another one. Hopefully that one is better. I am at work right now so I can't say.But the one CoH provides a link too blurry to get excited about.

Better video!

Go to GameTrailers for the hi-res version that you don't have to pay for (the other site only offers low-res for free).

The MM is definitely the green skinned guy with the red hat (and carrying dual guns). The other guy with the spikey hair with the big ol handgun is unknown.

Funny that this version is so much clearer than the one linked from CoH. Nice to see War Witch out there and at it!

if you go 20 seconds into the video and freeze it you should be able to see what is most likely all 6 Thugs, the bulky guy in chains is probably the 3rd type of thug, the three in the front are probably the 1st set, and the two behind them in the jackets would be the 2nd type.

It also seems the 3rd type pet is a SS brute, and the 3rd guy of the 1st set is an arsonist, the other two of the 1st set have dual-pistol and the 2nd type pets are dual-SMG

LOL dont even think of having SS as a travel and goign to this zone.

[/ QUOTE ]

Incorrect. It's been mentioned in dev digest previously that there will be many
elevators.

I mean, consider the Quartermaster in Cap au Diable, on top of the skyscraper. You
just enter the building at ground level, take the elevator, bam.

how nice recluse has included handicap access to grandville and his web.

just like when they added those ramps up to the tech and science quartermasters in the middle of sharkhead in a patch a few months back, for all those poor lvl 20 villians with no travel power....

its good to know recluse is such a caring guy

Yay finally found that a new video was posted away from Gamespot. couldn't get any visual over there. Thanks for posting the new link.

The Thug set looks awesome. And looks like a nice combo of lethal range and melee and even some fire so you aren't limited in your dmg type like Mercs. I'm thinking I may have to re-roll my MM as a Thug since they fit better in his backstory than Mercs do anyway. Though deleting another lvl26 would suck. heh

I noticed some of the new costumes like the new robot parts.. anybody think they see a DM/DA Stalker? They showed the Thug/?? MM, they showed the EM/EA Brute, how about the DM/DA Stalker? I keep thinking it's somewhat hidden.. but when I slowed it down I didn't see anything.. anyone?
