New WarCry Dev interview

BlueHeeler · 04-09-2007 06:18 PM

I'm surpised that this wasn't posted yet (at least I don't see it anywhere), but here is the new Warcry dev interview.

Thanks to Stonefoot from Liberty for finding this story.

In with that last line... let the explosion of conjecture and heresy commence...

So what *are* they planning for our beloved level 50 top dogs for Issue 10?

Curse you Recluse! You deserve your evil game handle... throwing something like that to the masses.

I'm thinking 35-45 will finally get something.

How convinient that that's more or less the Rikti levels. They start at 30 and kind of fade out at 45-50. I hope it's Rikti, for the scourge that a few years ago were a global threat, they don't get very much exposure right now. Yeah, they have the Crash Site, but who goes there, apart from the 44+ Respec?

You sure it isn't 1-5?? There is that level 4 gap to get over...

Seriously though, 35-45 would be awesome.

The end of one story always marks the beginning of another...

Actually there's been quite a few teams street hunting in the RCS on test for recipes and salvage .

Could the level range be 1-7...sewers for Villains woot!

That'll be so nice! I'll probably be either the 35 - 45 range. No matter what level range it is, I'm sure it'll enrich the game.

Also, I can't WAIT for the veritable sh*tstorm of posts from ungrateful players and general wastes of life that scream at the top of their lungs "THIS CONTENT DOESN'T CATER DIRECTLY TO ME. IT'S WORTHLESS. I HATE THE DEVS AND THIS GAME. I'M GOING TO GO PLAY WOW. HERE IS ANOTHER $15. I STILL HATE YOU."

Those people fill me with warmth, glee and rainbows.

I would be glad if that happens. That would be one Less idiot to deal with in the game.

On the plus side the next interview is with Sexy Jay. Wonder what his responses will be like.

Hey cool, my question got answered - in true cryptic fashion. It is good to hear that they're going to be doing some work on SGs and bases though, even if we're going to have to speculate wildly to figure out what exactly is coming down the pipe.

Generic_Past · 04-09-2007 07:51 PM

35-45 hopefully gets some much needed love. Its longoverdue. I wish they could also spend a little time changing themob code in the RCS and Shadow Shard so that enemies actuallyttack the NPC's.

Wow, my space bar is acting up today>.<

This space is intentionally left blank.

Neuronia · 04-09-2007 08:17 PM

On a serious note I'm glad to see more content coming, but I hope there are some new Scrapper and Tanker powersets at least...sometime this year.

That should definitely be a dev goal, new powersets on a yearly basis.

See, THAT surprises me. David Cook was the original owner of that handle, and for someone like Mr. Copur to finally fill the role fills me with great glee.

I hold great hope for our new spidery overlord. :3

Caesar_Augustus · 04-09-2007 09:01 PM

Gotta say, I look forward to I9, and I10 , but the comment about probably no new ATs makes me sad.
I really truly want my villain side Khelds.
and server transfers.
and new power sets for tankers (and I guess scrappers).
and for doms...
and any/more missions for the SG/VG mission computers.
and more/revamped enemy groups.
and more mission map tilesets. That university map would be a nice start.
and more outdoor instanced maps.
and more options for costume piece texture/reflectivity.
Oh the list goes on and on.

Venture · 04-09-2007 11:05 PM

The only content bracket that needs attention is 45-50.

Well, OK, those stupid duplicated missions in the blueside 30-35 bracket have to go. After that, though, it should be nothing but endgame.

A lot of folks seem to feel that theres a content gap in the late 30s in CoH.

I've never encountered it myself though.

But yeah, end game is where content focus needs to be for CoH. CoV could use some of the seperate paths to take that CoH already has. The Hollows-Faultline-Striga-Croatoa chain kind of thing.

And of course, they could satisfy some of this demand by sharing more existing powersets between ATs. Its gotta be a lot less work then making whole new ones.

Would it be fairly obvious to say that it ill be levels 50-55?

And, since everyone, including the Devs knows that we want a moon zone, would it be fair to say that there will be a moon zone?

And, since the Devs said a while ago that Issue 10 will involve heroes and villains working together, the moon zone will be common?

And, since the Devs said a while ago that an old villain group is coming back more powerful than ever, it would be fair to assume that some group is claiming the moon zone? Rikti, or Fifth Column?

Just thoughts...

When I feel more energetic, I'll find the links that substantiate my claims that the Devs said all of that.

Just mull it over, and give me the badge of "Called It" when I10 comes out.

nice big article that doesn't tell us anything except this:

Yes please.
Yes.
Yes.
Meh.
Yes. (and CoP working)
Meh.
Yes. (and revamping some old arcs with newer tilesets)
Meh.
Meh.

And yeah, it's gotta be 35+ content. Whether that's 35-45 or 35-50 I guess we will see. I just hope they make it for both sides. CoV is really hurting from 37-40 once your contacts are all dry and there aren't as many options for TF/Trial as hero-side.

Kaiserin · 04-10-2007 05:37 AM

And once again they completely ignore villains and their pleas about the patron powers.

Ho hum.

Anouke_NA · 04-10-2007 06:06 AM

I'm expecting 35-45 too, or at least 35-42...

I imagine there'll also be an array of additions to the inventions, since I'd imagine the designers and developers would be eager to put stuff in now that their initial invention content will be working, balanced and tested (in theory! in theory!).

Time for a space shuttle appearance...

Severe · 04-10-2007 06:15 AM

we know it wont be lvl 50 content

posi cant make money with new players if he adds in lvl 50 content and new story arcs

that would take away from the flare of getting new players
