Oh dear God... terrifying. Looks like we're going to have a lot of scary furries running around Paragon. Nothing worse than furries.

So, Positron, do you hate the players now?
[/ QUOTE ]
From what I learned of him, he only hates the whiney ones.
[/ QUOTE ]
Posi doesn't hate any of the players. He's just doin what he can to make CoH the best it can be.
[/ QUOTE ]
Sorry Jester, just being toungue-in-cheek there 
Edit: Nice pics BTW!
I want to thank everyone that showed up to our After-E3 Player Meetup at Howie's. It was a really fun time and I enjoyed meeting everyone. We definitely had a good cross-section of players from all of our games!
Yes, I'm a guy. And yes, I am an Illusion Controller. It's really helpful when I have to write the budget.

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.
[/ QUOTE ]
Why is this bad? Sometimes you just... miss the mission or whatever on a toon, it happens. Why is it such a bad thing to be able to join someone else to get the badge that you missed while doing other things?
[/ QUOTE ]
Because I am a firm believer in the need for multiple playthroughs to see/achieve everything. I don't agree with being able to earn all the badges/fully experience every mission on a single playthrough. And fixing it so you can't earn badges through missions that are not your own is a good way to fix that.

I do believe Tisirin is male though.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, yeah, Tisirin is a male.
...Now.
[ 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

Positron is a clever monkey.

So glad to hear it was a fun event...props to the devs for continuing to be "down to earth" with the players.....
The server transfer stuff is interesting. I never expected it to be a "pay for" service. Is it really that much more expensive to run?
[ QUOTE ]
Wings are costume options and will not be specific to any certain AT.
[/ QUOTE ]
Now that HAS to be in response to player suggestions....at one point it was AT only, right? Good call either way.
[ 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 ]
Sorely needed....can't wait.
[ QUOTE ]
Universities - They will be doing something with them in Issue 8.
[/ QUOTE ]
Interesting.....considering no skills.....
[ QUOTE ]
Game Events - More are planned. There will be a Halloween/Fall event this year.
[/ QUOTE ]
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
(more server wide events are my personal crusade, in case you couldn't tell)
I hope we get something between now and Halloween though.
I wonder what changed their mind from their previous position on events?
[ QUOTE ]
Positron said that badge junkies will hate him for one of the villain I7 contacts - There is a badge that you can only get if you complete all of a certain contact's missions. And every mission is timed and can be failed. He said that the times are not long, but not so short that it is impossible. Also, you can only get the badge by doing the missions yourself. joining someone else for them will not award it.
[/ QUOTE ]
To me, this is a great job by the devs. Here's a well thought out, fun, challenge for the players, that isn't game breaking in any way. We need more ideas like this, IMO
Great stuff....assuming it's true 
Nice work.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, I disagree in part. I'm somewhat ambivalent about one-throughs to get all the content, but doing as you suggest means that likely many people will merely not do the other content in favour of the badge.
I'm also very much against anything that removes "option", which I feel your suggestion would do.

Too busy for Search-Fu right now, but somebody at Cryptic mentioned months back that something between the base crafting tables and the original vision for Skills is in the works via the Universities.
Thanks to all the E3 attendees for their info. Its great to get this kind of stuff for those of us who can't make it to these kind of things.
Wings being a costume option is a big suprise to me. I had always thought Wings would be an Avillian only thing. It makes me wonder whether Avillian's as an EAT are going on the back burner or perhaps being scrapped altogether.
I imagine the Unversities will be the source of the Invention system that was discussed a while back, which makes sense as universities are often research centres. So, Invention system tenatively planned for I8 perhaps. That would be good. I'm not that entranced by the idea of crafting, but I know there are lots of people who are, and anything that adds non-combat based gameplay to the game is a big plus IMO.
Speculation time. I seem to recall that the invention system was supposed to be launched with an event featuring some new enemy faction that you would need the inventions to fight. This sounds to me like an oppertunity for Hero/Villain teaming.
Also, yay for more confirmation of the 5th returning. Perhaps we can finally put an end to the sheer stupidity of the "omg the germanz banzored the nazis!!!" stuff.

[/ QUOTE ]
Um... We already have furries. There are tons of wolf and bat themed villains and a few heroes already. And there are certain to be more in I7. I would just like to see some heroic animal costumes to go along with the villainous ones. After all, my main character is supposed to be a minotaur.

WOW, Positron and CuppaJo look different than I had imagined
Hooray for COV Displays. =D I have one of those in my bedroom.
And... I agree. Cuppa and Pos look nothing like I'd imagined. Posi looks much friendlier and Cuppa looks like my adopted sister. =O

Is this because:
a) the Phantom Army helps pad numbers
b) Deceive can be made perma
c) accountants can relate to a power that Blinds and sleeps simultaneously
d) all of the above

[/ QUOTE ]
People who like to collect badges will just borrow a page from Positron's notebook, then: do the first mission in the arc, then wait 'til they outlevel the enemies on the missions. "All that crap is grey to me." It'll be a bunch of run-throughs.

Dangit, SOMEBODY has to quote him, so here I am.
All the people in the pics look...a lot different than I thought they would. Yeah, really, you just can't tell by a voice (even written), ain't that the truth.
Thanks for the pics and info Obsidius! Thanks to Jester as well, once the page actually loads. It's taking its time.
Someone should've asked about housing. I want an spiffed out appartment for my heroes/villains!
Thanks for sharing the pictures and infos!
