Looks like one of the MA buildings is in AP I was hopeing that GC would be getting some love. But that being said the report was cool and I hope that this is way that game info is released in the future.

I think this reference is quite amusing. Similar to "In Rod We Trust" and the like.

All I'm saying is that there must be a better way to incorporate this into making us better heroes. Crafting, although a diversion from actual hero work, is necessary to improve our powers. This goes in the opposite direction as we can flitter away our time fighting made up villains instead of the real thing.

On the other hand, we've been asking for a "Danger Room" type setup for bases ever since bases were introduced.

Then again, maybe Dr. Aeon doesn't understand his own tech all that well (what else is new?), and the Architect device is actually accessing pocket quantum-sheaf realities based on the parameters we program into it. He never said it was holographic, or anything of the sort. We can still play it as real as we want it.

The Way of the Corruptor (Arc ID 49834): Hey villains! Do something for yourself for a change--like twisting the elements to your will. All that's standing in your way are a few secret societies...and Champions of the four elements.

I got the same impression.

So when they say there is no long term effect, (thus no ambushes after the missions) you can leave the holodeck noone will know you were living out your fantasy fighting Longbow as a hero. Bummer.

So... wait a minute... Positron can change his build on the fly, while fighting??? Oooh!!!!! I want THAT powaaaaaaaaaaah!

I want the part when I can spec my defender into Dual Blades.....on the fly......

Positron is hacking again, me thinks...

[/ QUOTE ]

He spoke to Valkyrie, who can help player heroes out. Why not him?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, if there was any doubt that the MA missions grant XP, lay the doubt to rest. It got Positron aka Mr "All that crap cons grey to me" off that dais in Steel Canyon.

Just my $.02, I'm happy to get a little teaser, but I don't like how they attempt to write in things like the MA as part of the CoH storyline. Probably just me, it just doesn't make any sense IMO and should just be kept as an out of game lore content creator. I feel the same way about writing proliferation into the story line. Do we really need to explain in game why villains can carry a mace now?

Don't mean to be negative, it's just a little thing that bugs me. Overall it looks great and I'm glad to see some pics!

This.

Stop trying to explain meta-game things that don't require in-game explanations.

Then again how would you explain in the lore, every super powered being on both sides of Paragon being suddenly able to reconstruct reality and create their own pocket universe, without bordering on silliness? I mean, really, even for a comic book universe. LOL

[/ QUOTE ]


Well, Gamester would have been a much better NPC as the man behind Architect Entertainment than Aeon. For example. Mostly because he's supposedly neutral in the fight between Arachnos and the Phalanx.

Yeah, some things don't need in game explanations, heck are we gonna get some new explanation for each new powerset?

Whoo! Very excited to see some MA stuff. It looks like you guys made the right decision in holding off to polish it more... Not that it didn't LOOK right before.

Overall I'm quite excited to write out a storyline involving my signature character, and I look forward to seeing what others come up with. *Cranes his neck looking for TroyHickman.

Of course now the rest of the Freedom Phalanx will be complaining that Positron is soloing his missions for merits rather than being a good team player

[/ QUOTE ]

LMAO!

EDIT:
JDouble ably expressed my thoughts on the contorting of this into the game lore. But apart from that, it's looking and sounding very good.

Very nice idea!

I like this alot, lol.

I liked "Up Late With Ascendent" myself. Such a pity that the trained pack of Rikti monkeys went wild in the first show and threw ... unpleasantness ... at the audience.
