Yeah, for some reason that "retraining" sounded like it was painful, or at least uncomfortable in a Chinese Water Torture kind of way.

4. International Forums - we have international players here and they post all the time. I don't feel like we need to segregate them with special areas. If you mean will our European/Asian player forums be consolidated with ours? Nope. Not at this time.

How about allowing us to post on the euro forums. I'm a brit on the US servers and won't transfer over as 70+ toons into 24 english language slots doesn't go. I do however browse the euro boards occasionally looking for events, and I come across questions I can answer but am not allowed to as I can't post. Working something like putting US_ on the front of the handle and truncating, plus using numbers on the end if the result is taken should allow it.

Aye, that's why I asked.
No, I'm not European, but for awhile we had a thread in CoV General the EU players would read and respond to a thread in their forums' General section and vice versa. 'Twas fun.
[ QUOTE ]
There are about a million questions that are already listed for tonights show - and some of the ones asked here may not appeal to SI radio's more general audience. So I'll answer some here...
[/ QUOTE ]
... and it was good - like, better than a lot of the fluffy promo pieces featuring devs on gaming sites good. Thanks!

1. Prima Guide in Print. Not happening. EB site is incorrect. You could go to the prima guide site and post in their forums that if they made a hardcopy available that you would purchase it - and if they get a large enough response they might do it - but for now we are giving it out for free digitally.

Then why did I buy that stupid binder? Prima sucks. And they lie.

Yeah.... ripoff much?
@Bengal Fist - Freedom - Authority SG
Bengal Fist (SS/EA) - Thirt3en (Time/Elec) - Aussi (Elec/Shield) - Potamoi (Water/Time) - Parkr (Staff/Ela)
All of this is awesome news.
Well, not the server problems, they sucked. But all the stuff BEFORE that.
I'm especially looking forward to hanging with some sig heroes and baddies in Pocket D and elsewhere. This sounds great.

5. Rednames in game - It's already happening. Seems like every weekend I get an email from some redname saying they are playing as a sig character in game somewhere. Keep an eye out!
[/ QUOTE ]

Yay!!
Ghost Widow was even in Pocket D last night!!!
So um i cant help but wonder....
Ghost Widow was in Pocket D i think last night.....and well I and some other players where wondering...
Did she need a Rez??
<_<

3. Issue Release "balance" - I8 and beyond should be more balanced between Hero and Villain content - though I8 may be slanted somewhat towards the heroic side.
[/ QUOTE ]
YEAH ! HEROES AREN'T DEAD !
Got it loaded up, got IRC running....
*F7*
Ready!
LordNikon just got pwned by Cuppa.

[/ QUOTE ]
Granted, I only play villain side now, but I have to say that doing the same handful of villain missions over and over is really getting old. Hero side has 3 times as many zones. I think they're done. Villains need way, way more stuff to do.
Sounds like 'The Giggler' has been given the mic again, for some reason... And that SI has yet to actually learn that the best way to prevent dead air and embarassment is to actually do research, like playing the game and clarifying answers to questions PRIOR to starting a live broadcast.
It's okay, though. I just hope someone's recording this for posterity.

Man, I hope that is sarcasm. Those extra zones in CoH are content-void hazard zones. Zones are not content. They're just boxes with mobs in them.
By I8's arrival it will have been nearly a year since CoH had a PvE content update. It needs an update, stagnation does not a growing subscriber base make.

Yeah, I wasn't happy with this news either, and Prima's pretty much blown me off.

I once ran into a redname jumping up and down in Founders Falls.
Thx again CuppaJo! Awesome interview....and thx for not prevricating (sp?) and telling us straight up when you didn't have an answer and/or COULDN'T answer. That was one of the better interviews that a redname has done IMHO.

I wonder what would happen if you walk up to Ghost Widow and start saying "Ha ha! I betrayed you! I betrayed you! nyeah nyeah nyeah!!!"
...probably not a good idea, but darn hilarious imagining it.

Oh, btw, a big tidbit for those of you that weren't in the IRC chat....Wings....coming soon....Costumes, not AT....
Ya'll might wanna keep throwing out specific wing suggestions in Jay's thread now.
I would like to thank all of those that joined us tonight on the IRC and on the stream! You guys rock!
We do, don't we?

I don't recall anyone doing that, but someone did apologize for killing her.
...and yes. Several people offered her a rez.

Definitely! I absolutely LOVED the listener response in the IRC room, you guys were fantastic. It made the night that much more fun.
Mmm... shiny nerf bat...
Yes, thank you *everyone* for making this night a blast. Especially CuppaJo! Wow, three hours she stuck with us! Definitely deserve props for that one. It couldn't have been better!
[ QUOTE ]
Have some fun, have some laughs (it's still a game, right?), but don't loose sight of the fact that all is NOT well in COV/COH land, and since Cuppa is one of the doors to information, put some "umph" in it when you knock.
[/ QUOTE ]
This is your perception, and you're of course, entitled to it. I would suggest that we don't ask ourselves what we're going to get out of the game - but what the games going to get out of us. Attitude is everything. As it stands, I played my controller a bit tonight, enough for 3 bars. I had absolutely no problems. No defeats, no problems finding glowies, nothing but a nice evening of relaxation.
I realize that the tram gates are a little slow, but other than that, what could be the problem with CoH?

6. This weekends outage - One of our service providers had a hardware failure that precipitated the outage. I wasn't aware of the issue as I was on vacation - and Cricket didn't receive notification of the outage for some time due to human error internally. I apologize that you guys were not updated as per usual. We have reviewed the escalation process and had some retraining to ensure the issue does not occur again. I also apologize for how long it took us to give you this explanation - it took some time for me to figure out what happened and report back to you after I got back from vacation.
[/ QUOTE ]
Does the word "retraining" equate to "burly man with leather belt giving high-velocity, buckle-end-first advice on the chain of notification"?
No?
Boy, did *I* ever work in a weird customer support office...
(just kidding, of course. We love all our rednames.)
