I predict a "Trenchcoats at 3 months?!" frenzy.
And am I the only one amused by the fact that Pann had red devil eyes in his picture, and looked nothing like Peter Pan?

Actually Pann is the lady on the right 
Sorry for not being specific.
Edit: did I just blow your mind?

Also, you can only get the badge by doing the missions yourself. joining someone else for them will not award it.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hallelujah. Now if only they will fix up most of the other mission badges like that, I'll be happy.
[/ QUOTE ]
You mean like the "War Wall Defender" badge that gets rewarded regadless of whether you succeed or fail?
Just glad they got the "Time spent in BB/ Siren's/ Warburg" badges fixed. No more spending 5 consecutive hours in a zone
[/ QUOTE ]
No, I mean, as in fixing other mission badges (Like the Save the Fortuneteller mission) so you can't get the badge by joining their mission. It has to be YOUR mission.

Well, a lot of people are just going to get some of these instantly, I think when logging in!
Still here, even after all this time!

Not really, but I do find it amusing that most of NCSofts community coordinators seem to be women.

I could only hope. My main doesn't need one, but at least one of my alts would look shwag in a trenchie 
AtraTwo and I had a great time talking with Posi, Cuppa and Serda on Saturday. I asked Matt Miller (Positron) if their datamining showed any AT or powerset that was particularly underused, and he said there weren't any, which I found interesting. He also said if such a situation did show up, the company would act to make changes to fix the situation.
I also pressed Posi as to how long it takes to do the artwork for a single item, like a halo. It's obviously a massive amount of work, to make something work from every angle, for every char position, emote, attack reaction and so on. He couldn't really give me an answer, I'll have to find one of the art people for that one.
Matt also acknowledged that Faultline and the Rikti Crash site will be revamped. But he told me that Boomtown was not going to be changed. Other people seem to have a different take on Boomtown changes, maybe it will be updated after I8.

SG size issues, such as basing membership on account rather then character -They looking into it, but its not a high priority because relatively few supergroups are running out of space.
[/ QUOTE ]
Um, what the heck are they smoking? With alts in a SG, it only takes 20-25 people to max out SG (or be close to this.)
Just because you only have 72 or so, doesn't mean you didn't want more people in the SG.
[/ QUOTE ]
QFT
Much of my SG consists of altoholics like me or people with multiple 50s and too much free time on their hands. We've got coalitioned splinter groups to handle the larger numbers but none of the prestige those alts earn can go to supporting the main SG base.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, but your SG isn't typical. Most players don't have multiple level 50s. I agree that any large SG is going to run out of space and I'd like to see it change too, but I think Positron had a point. There are tons of small SGs out there with only a few people in them. Even more if you count all the one-person supergroups. Percentage wise, there really may not be all that many large SGs. I think that we just tend to be more vocal about it
Isolator is only 50 contaminated now so not as bad as the 100

[/ QUOTE ]
I believe it is back up to 100. It was only lowered to 50 for a short time, so that was probably a bug.
[ QUOTE ][*] For those who didn't know and are OCD about badges, there will be exactly ONE (1) Infected in Recluse's Victory that spawns every two hours. Kill him 100 times to get that Isolator badge you missed in Outbreak. Posi said it would be annoyingly hard, after all, so you asked for it

[/ QUOTE ]
Ooh, here's a thought. Striga and the Hollows are the models, right? Striga has a chain of contacts leading to a TF. The Hollows has a chain of contacts leading to a trial.
So maybe Faultline will end in the Faultline Trial, and the crash site in the Rikti Ship Trial? It would explain why those two zones were being redone and Boomtown wasn't.
[ QUOTE ]
Updates to Boomtown, Faultline, and the Rikti Crash Site are currently being worked on and expected for Issue 8. We will be able to enter the ship. The zones are being redesigned with new art, contacts, etc using Striga and Croatoa as models.
[/ QUOTE ]
Whoah, awesome! I suspected they'd eventually do something like this, but never so soon and to such an extent.
Anyhow, thanks for the info guys. I was planning to go myself, but ended up with too much stuff to do at the last minute.
Arc Salvo: Okay hold one sec guys, we can't just rush in blindly vs these Nemesis, they've got these ranged aoe's tha-
Teammate1(charging in): Shut up, Arc Salvo, you lame*$% Viewtiful Joe wannabe! What do you know?!
Teammate2(also charging): yeah, ST#& arc salvo u PWR RANGR U!
Arc Salvo: *sigh*
Hmm. I was under the impression that Boomtown was being worked on. Although now that I think about it, when I asked the question I mentioned all three zones.
Oh, and this might help too:
I remember asking why the villain map of Boomtown (the instanced mission with it partially remodeled) wasn't just brought over to heroes. Positron said that they had changed what they wanted to do with Boomtown, but the art had already been done so they gave it to the villains for a mission.

That'd piss people off, especially the ones who wouldn't be aware of this policy, when you choose to auto-complete a mission you're holding that's the same as the mission owner's.
Given the sheer number of mapserver discos I and my friends have experienced over the past two weeks, I have to say that "Succeed Timed Missions to get a Badge" idea is just about the stupidest thing I've heard since "Patron Powers are Permanent." If you don't account for latency, server crashes, etc., etc., you're being a dick when making something that hard to achieve, plain and simple.
So, Positron, do you hate the players now?

From what I learned of him, he only hates the whiney ones.
I wouldn't say that he hates players, just that he thinks that those timed mision related badges should be reasonable to complete even with the occasional mishap.
I doubt he's going to link an accolade power or anything to something like those.
If it turns out that completing those missions are a big problem, /petition-ing and feedback on the forum should correct things.

Great Pics Obsidius.
Yes Howies was great, first time I have ever been there. It is a bit of a drive from Burbank, but worth the trip.
I felt a little odd about using the rest room. In the Men's there is a large plasma screen over the urinal, and it is kind of hard to do your business with a giant pic of Lord Recluse staring down at you! ! !

Posi doesn't hate any of the players. He's just doin what he can to make CoH the best it can be.

Ahahahahahahaha!!
Positron is one sick man. It's awesome.
On another topic, that there is some great info and I am very much looking forward to these updates. And the pictures were great!
When I meet Cuppa, I'm going to see if she's some kind of drink-powered robot by denying her drinks for a few days. if she dies, I was right. If she survives.. oh, wait.

Not really, but I do find it amusing that most of NCSofts community coordinators seem to be women.
[/ QUOTE ]
IMO, players give women community reps an easier time than they do men. Whether it's something inherent in the female personality or some sort of chivalry/romance-fantasy on the part of the players, it's a trend that I've noticed on many different game forums. NCSoft has simply noticed the trend and capitalized on it.

HAH!
Positron made you his lil Bunny Foo-Foo.
[/ QUOTE ]
You shut it up! You shut it up right now! No one is a Bunny Foo-Foo unless I allow it!

Um, I do believe Tisirin is male though. He appeared so when he stopped by while godslayer and I were talking with CuppaJo.
But, I admit he could be an Illusion Controller... ;-)
Seriously, he was cool, and fessed up to having posted only like twice since CoH launched

5th Column - They are going to be coming back. The gladiator badge is not all we will see of them.

Awesome.
Can we put the whole "The Germans are censoring bums" thing behind us now?
I always thought the whole rumour was stupid.
