Details are starting to emerge on the The City of Heroes® content update that breaks MMO barriers by letting players create their own in-game missions! Check out the following items to see just some of what Issue 14, Architect has to offer...

Overview:

The Official Issue 14 Overview Page
Updated information and new Mission screenshots await!

Video Media:

Rooster Teeth Video starring Captain Dynamic

One of our goals at NCsoft NorCal has been to get Mission Architect into the hands of as many creative people as possible to see what content they come up with. An obvious choice was Rooster Teeth, creators of the famous Red vs. Blue machinima series. They enjoyed it so much, that they decided to document their adventures using Mission Architect in a three episode video series. Watch Episode 1 which introduces viewers to Captain Dynamic, a real-life super person, and his quest to use the Mission Architect to advance his image and his career. Episodes 2 and 3 will follow!

This issue needs to be here YESTERDAY! Awesome!


Edit: I'm aware of the location of my post in relation to a "red name" and I refuse to acknowledge it, take that status quo!

I'm actually drooling a little bit.

Ok the video was hilarious.

"are we going to get exposed to any money?"

and

"Shift + Awesome"

I spit my afternoon coffee down my chin.....

I've only read the updated info page on the main site, and I have to say:

25 MISSION OBJECTIVES!!^@#$&!^!!!@?!?@#

MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA

I love you guys.

Ok, back to reading the awesome.

Looks cool, but where's information on everything else in I14?

patience yo! wait till open beta, then we can see the beta release notes! Sheesh mac, you're so pushy!

Being from a RP group, this has to be the most awesome feature to come along! I love the concept. That said, I hope these missions will function similar to "the arena" in that they can be created and then allow it to be available, for example, to your Super Group without it being available to everyone out there. Many stories for us would be continuations of stories we have created that no one would get anything out of if they didn't know the backstories that we have had for years. I hope a feature exists like this.

Looking forward to this new content! Thanks.

I thought the video was funny, and at some point I plan on playing around with the MA, but I'm still wondering if there will be any other new content in i14 (like costume pieces, and whatnot).

 

Posted

We've just been given the coolest news on what the MA can do and people STILL want more...I do wish it would be released in 5 minutes. That's how AWESOME the MA is going to be!

 

Posted

Ex, the massively article had an audio recording of the Rooster Teeth Video and then a demo of the MA. Any chance of releasing the video of that demo too?

Always remember, we were Heroes.

"Touch my awesome button." I gotta try that one with the ladies. <_<

Just looking at the revamped UI, I think we can put to bed many of the "MA is just a newspaper mission generator" bollocks that's been floating around. There is far, far more detail available since the last iteration we saw. It looks like the Devs weren't kidding about going back to the drawing board to include the things people were clamoring for.

Bravo. Now to read the FAQ

 

Posted

This is literally one of the most awesome things I've ever seen hit an MMO, if not "the".

Of course, we'll see how it plays out in sur-reality, but I have high hopes.

It works until it's countered by the "Restraining Order" global nerf.

For me the biggest news is that we can create our own factions and enemy groups, all the way from minion to AV

That's HUGE

I am literally about to spontaneously combust in my chair at work from all the awesome glaring through my screen.

Top notch Devs. Really, team hug

Edit: Oh, and I was right the first time about the building location in Atlas, whooo!

Was Captain Dynamic Ed Robertson from Barenaked Ladies?

Mission Architect is made of 100% pure high-grade Awesome and is filled with a tasty Win center.
