When is I7?
Just kidding -- How about talking about the new costume options being available in I7?
There have been mention of a few but then we got a few surprises like the robot shoulder pads, anything else we haven't seen in screenshots, Posi?
[/ QUOTE ]
I said no "When is I7?"
Interview over.
Yes, there are more costume options you have not seen.

KILTS????
[/ QUOTE ]
Gah! I should've asked that as well! 
It seems too much to ask that they give them to us now ... we've only been begging for Kilts for a year now ...
[/ QUOTE ]
But with out a tarten pattern option how cool?
Pinnacle
Arch light L50 INV/SS
Psiberia L50 Kin/Psi
Screaming Mentallica L50 Sonic/MM
Infinity
Arc Voltinator L50 SS/Elec
Mind Fire Kinesis L50 Fire/Kin
Flaming Screamer L50 Fire/Sonic
This question may have been asked and/or answered already, and I apologize if it has, but I have to ask anyways.
Will there ever be a Hamidon type of monster or event that a mass number of villains will have to work as a team to kill or overcome?
I realize that this is probably more than a touch late, but...
Of the reams of new missions, how many are going to be pre-40 content? Several stretches of levels are low-content areas, both hero-side and especially villain-side, due to contacts drying up faster than needed.

Thanks for answering the questions, Posi.
Maybe I'll get mine answered another day, or better yet, when the Issue releases. 
[/ QUOTE ]
Same here.
Many thanks for answering the questions Posi.
THIS is one of the things that remind me why I left a certain other overly popular MMORPG for this game - Here there are Devs who actually comprehend the meaning of *community* and take the time to help foster it. /applaud

There is a positive change for Dominators in Issue 7.

And here I was planning on rolling up a Dominator for Issue 7 since I really liked the class during the beta. Get Out of My Head!! AHHH!!

Pow wows, tee pees and peace pipes I guess we all have to swallow. But can we have a little respect for the Nations and not [censored] start talking about scalping?

Consider this an official, public apology. It wasn't my intent to cause any racial tensions here, I was trying to keep a potential problem light hearted.
I sincerely apologize.
To everyone else:
It's hard for me to remember at times the great variety of folks who read these boards, from all ethnicities, political and religious backgrounds. I imagine when most people are posting, they tend not to think about such things as well. As a representative of Cryptic Studios, however, I *do* need to pay more attention to these things. In the event that I fail in this, please PM me about it so I can take corrective action.

Great post Castle. Would that everyone paid as much attention.
*Will you guys fix MoG in I7?*
(Yes, I'm stalking you. 
)
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.

Thank you very much. An unqualified apology is very rare and very welcome.
I'm curious as to what the status is of the "personal spaces" that were talked about a few months ago. At the time, it seemed like they were rapidly being developed and we would be seeing them soon.
Any new word or news on these "hero apartments"? I was certainly looking foward to them! If they've been scrapped, I'd like to know that as well so I won't keep thinking about them.

Looking back at the thread, I think it was actually me that caused the offense, so it's really doubly laudable that you apologised.
As I've said in the past, when you step on someone's toes, regardless of your intent, the right thing to do is apologise. In that spirit: I apologise for offending you, Rehdjac, and anyone else that may've been offended.

FIRST THING: I want the devs to take their time with I7, seriously. Take your time. No rush, get it right, yadda, yadda.
SECOND THING: That said the inmates are getting restless.
SO,
THIRD THING: Like the subject line says, how about a quick Q&A with Positron (like his recent badge thread) where we're allowed to throw out questions and Positron answers as few or as many as he wants. Just friendly, perhaps we sic Clintonian on anyone who trolls (since Happy Fun Taser is out of that business).
[/ QUOTE ]
Because...
A. The Devs have proven that they are going to do whatever they want no matter how the players feel about it, so why bother?

HELP SAVE THIS GAME!
If we can save this game, I promise I will never complain about Travel Power Suppression again! You have my word on it!

*attempting to head back towards the original topic*
_Castle_, since the Patron powers numbers will be available in-game, will the heroic APP numbers be made available also?

No one with a rational mind will take seriously any attempts at restraint put forth by a poster named after the most disgustingly self-indulgent U.S. President since Nixon.

I know they had been thinking about actually adding hard numbers to ALL powers. States had been against it at first, but due to a great number of requests by players, was reconsidering the previous decision...
Sounds like something to ask at a Meet and Greet
Unless they hold a Meet & Greet in Tampa, FL... I'm not going to get a chance. Well, that and it was the first thing that popped into my head as an attempt at asking questions of the devs.
I'm sure someone out there has a questions that either Pos or _Castle_ can answer. Also, if the mods are interested in keeping this thread, they can prune the way off topic stuff and leave the other stuff. This thread can be salvaged.
Irregardless of being derailed, I think this thread has reached the end of its lifetime as a useful Q&A thread by virtue of being Way Long.

This thread? Long? Excuse me while I laugh till I pass out. No sir. There's no thread that's too long. Well, except the original ED thread that had to be pruned several times, and the AASQ thread that borked the forums and was finally shot. No, this thread, maybe with some pruning and some TLC from all of us, can still be a useful thread.
We *need* a player asks/dev answers thread. Seriously. It will go a long way towards fostering the sense of community that Jack has mentioned in several interviews. But first, we need to be respectful of the devs, and listen to their answers. Perhaps that will engender a desire to answer those questions and communicate with us.
Lately, the most a redname has posted has been a quick joke or one-liner in response to a humorous thread, except for _Castle_, and Posi's answers at the beginning of this thread. If we want more meaningful communication with the dev team, first, treat them as humans, realize they misspeak and/or make mistakes, and be willing to either accept their answers or counter with logic and hard numbers. Trust me, "I ran such-n-such tracker program and found a n% change to such-n-such power" goes miles further than "I don't feel super anymore".
Alright, done rambling...
It's sad that Dev/Player communication has severely declined since I5, what with all the nerfs and Dev-flaming.

No I think the players nerfed that one

we'll have to have a pow wow around here (complete with Tee Pee's and Peace Pipes, hopefully) to figure out what to do.
