Issue 14: Architect Discussion

[ QUOTE ]
What's on the general calendar schedule? The five year anniversary is in April? So hypothetically with a month of testing i14 might make it to live in mid March? And then I guess it's spring for a while until i15 sets up for mid-summer?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd think that as i14 has only one thing to acutally test, that the beta period will be quite short. It could go live quite probably by the beginning of March.

Current Published Arcs
#1 "Too Drunk to be Alcoholic" Arc #48942
#2 "To Slay Sleeping Dragons" Arc #111486
#3 "Stop Calling Me"

Ah poo, I haven't been in since issue 11, and from what I'm told, I only got in cuz someone added an extra 0 to the number of invites that were suppose to go out :P

I think I should be considered due to the amount of time I'd spend trying to break the system and do things you don't want me to, in order to hone the build you first give us o.o I also have a considerable amount of source material to invent with, my RP guild is currently on Arc #3 of our own stories integrating lore with our own origins and backstories. Given that the five mission limit may be in effect, I think I'd like a shot at consolidating the massive story arcs we've been brainstorming into the equal of Kalinda's first round :P

However, I await the email! :3 Good Luck everyone!

Nice! Mission Architect is the first thing in a long while to get me as excited as the initial City of Villains launch. Now that I can take a direct hand in generating content, I'm hoping the disparity between Hero and Villain content will feel less overwhelming.

I knew making my teaser would get them to hurry up...

Was there ever a doubt?

That me making a teaser would make them hurry? Yeah. I'm not THAT important.

At any rate, gratz to those who get into closed beta... I don't want to know anything specific, I just want to know if I can make a cool trailer for it.

This cant be real maybe the devs are trying to start a friday 13th fad thing like April fools day.

arent real terrorists they're werewolfs, from the future,
but we were all already dead!

But if its real this is totally awsome!

@Caucasiafro

quick send me a invite to Beta

---

Sweet mercy, I'm looking forward to this one!

---

Do we get anymore details or is it just the Mission Architect?

---

I'm excited about i14, but I dont have to have a beta invite. There are MANY others who would be much better &amp; give better feedback. I just would like to see some more info disclosed when you can.

---

Same, as much as I want to experiance it first hand, theres open beta for dat

---

Wooooooooooooooooo beta.

Quick, someone in closed post something vague and uninformative for us to speculate wildly over

---

Really looking forward to this issue more than the last few!

I resubscribed just so I could see the MA.

I'm (sadly) not in the beta, but it seems like it won't be long before we'll hear about whether or not we can use triggers in missions, and what kinds of triggers - if any - are available.

For instance, some people said there would be no option for ambushes in MA, yet others said there was a misunderstanding on this, and it was the pre- or post-mission ambushes (that occur outside the instanced area) that would not be available.

I'm looking forward to having all this cleared up.

Closed beta time turns the forums into a little slice of life from the game...

[Tell]w0lferine: can i join ur beta? i am claws regen scrappr i play gud
[Tell]--&gt;w0lferine: Sorry the beta is closed, maybe when it opens.
[Tell]w0lferine: lolwut just invite meh
[Tell]--&gt;w0lferine: I'm sorry I can't right now, but I'll let you know once it opens.
[Tell]w0lferine: thats ok just invit meh
[Tell]--&gt;w0lferine: We have a strict method for determining who gets into closed beta and if you didn't get an invite, you'll have to wait for open beta.
[Tell]w0lferine: y r u being so mean just send teh invite

---

Sooo... no invite for me, looks like. And my updater keeps crashing. Anyone who's managed to load the patch able to confirm the existence of any proliferated powersets (unlikely), new costume bits (hopefully), or other stuff that can be viewed from character creation without actually being in the beta?

Ohhhhhh......

Evil thought for the day-

PM a bunch of people on the forums when they are offline-
This will give them an email in there inbox of their regualr email service, saying you have a new message from NCSoftatautsin
They freak out thinking they just got a covetted beta invite-
They go to the forums top check said message
The message just says "Psyche!!! This is NOT a beta invite!"

Ohhhhh ohhhhhhhh.......

LOL

I would NEVER do that....
