I do not think I have ever been this psyched over an Issue before.

Bases?

Looks good!!!! It makes being at work bearable.

There was one little teaser in Positrons letter about the love for bases that are coming, but no major mention of it in the features list. Is that an oversight?

Can't wait for beta! =P

So ...

Curiously absent from the announcement is some kinda' mention of The Vault.

Is it still on the radar, or has it been pushed back past I13?

NeoShinobi · 08-26-2008 09:43 AM

Need moar info.

Farmer_Frost · 08-26-2008 09:44 AM

Fabulous. Good work, Devs!

LegionAlpha · 08-26-2008 09:44 AM

I have alot of characters who work for the armed forces, Air Force, Marines, what have you. If they log out in the Vanguard base could I earn points or skills for them, when I log out?

_Duuk · 08-26-2008 09:47 AM

No info about bases.

I'm curiously underwhelmed by this announcement, and I'm not sure why.

galadiman · 08-26-2008 09:47 AM

OMG, this is Terrible News! Worst issue Ever! I cant believe how horrible all these ideas are!

Wait, It isnt Opposite day?

I liked the correlation that the name has between some of the improvements we are making to bases (in the way new things are purchased for them)

Any reason why no further info was mentioned in terms of base improvements for i13? I'm certain there will be more details to come in the next few weeks... just curious why so little was said about it now.

Sounds like a fun update so far.

There are so many details to Issue 13, we couldn't possibly fit all in to an overview. Expect to see those details come out between now and the public open beta testing for Issue 13.

Also, if you needed more reason to come and see the CoH Team at the PAX show in Seattle this coming weekend, now you've got it!

Well, I'm stoked. As a teaser for what the next issue may contain, it works for me! I wanna learn more!

SO how long is this time frame of now til open beta? cough cough, when is closed starting up?

InsanteInc · 08-26-2008 09:50 AM

I would like to see bases get some of the same options as the Mission Creator. That way people could make their bases caves, office even outside if they wanted.

BizzaroBash · 08-26-2008 09:52 AM

I find the name Pain Domination very awesome.
Control over pain to help self and allies and hopefully debuff the snot out of others. Sounds very sweet.
Shields... very awesome.
AND BADGES WOO HOO!

We don't know what the mission creator will ACTUALLY have in it yet. That one mocked up screen shot in the survey was just a possibility.

Thanks LH! Yea I was not even hoping for details (ok I was HOPING, but not expecting ) But it did not even make the one liner list of features in the "Other Features" section. The hard-core "Base dudes" have felt left out for sooooooo long. Just wanting to confirm that there IS some base love still coming (even if we do not know what). Thanks for that confirmation OH Wonderful Red-Named One.

VoodooGirl · 08-26-2008 10:02 AM

Holy kittens this is awesome.

Zloth · 08-26-2008 10:04 AM

Healing? Via pain? Ummm, are you folks going to steal sound effects from Dungeon Keeper 2, by chance?

The mission creation system sounds like something that will need extensive player testing. Very extensive. Probably should start soon. Like, in a couple of hours.

Zekiran_Immortal · 08-26-2008 10:06 AM

Between this blurb and Posi's letter....

Can't type, too busy drooling!

Shields, guys. And base love. AND mission creator. AND updated Cimerora. AND emp for villains. AND rewards for tf's. AND downtime. ... my GOD.

GREAT work I can't wait to see this all in action!!

Great news!!! Looking forward to this issue VERY much! I have several team mates that are fantastic writers and I can't wait to see what they can come up with on the new Mission Creator.

I am a little disappointed that there wasn't any mention of what is in store for bases as I'm one of my SG's base architects...but I can understand that there's a lot to I13 and there wasn't room for everything. Hopefully the base details will be released very soon.

Also, since most of my alts are supposed to be working in Pocket D will there be rewards for logging out there?

I am ecstatic that in Posi's letter there will be some love granted to base building! Seconds floors? Pleeaaase? Doors? Pleeease? Private rooms? Pleeeeaaaaaaase?
