they do that sort of thing in patches occassionally.
That's true. I guess I'm thinking back to the PnP games, and remembering how books like the Monster Manuals and such offered content but left it up to the players to provide the context. There were plenty of supplements which offered new maps, buildings, classes, monsters, magical items, dimensions and so forth, but it was left open as to how and when you'd use them.
Just wondering if the Devs will be exploring that option...
With the release of MA, a big door's been opened for creating new missions and content that weren't available before. It's just made me wonder whether there might come a time when the Devs release an Issue that only features things for MA but which doesn't advance the CO* Universe (or CO*U, for short) storyline at all.
For example, right now there are rumors that Issue 15 will feature the 5th Column in some way. I'm guess, but this sounds like it might introduce new story arcs and so advance the stories of the characters in the CO*U. Some of the new stuff might find its way into MA by way of new maps, new contacts, and so forth.
But might there come a time when an Issue is released that release doesn't advance the CO*U and is mostly new maps, or new costume pieces, or something like that? For example, I know I'd like to see new iced-over building maps, similar to the Frostfire map, but which cover buildings outside. Or perhaps a new map which has a city zone or two aflame or covered in lava.
Now, these could be incorporated into new storylines and published as they always have been, but might there come a time when the Devs say: "These maps/ideas/whatever were just too cool to sit and wait so we have a new issue filled with new maps/ideas/whatever. Go play!"
Just wondering... Any thoughts?
