Hmm, we'll be able to make our 50s even more powerful... with new challenges that make current content look easy... O.o I really wonder how they're planning to pull that off, but I look forward to finding out.
[edit: Ahh, misheard. They said that's what people want and what they're focusing a lot of dev effort on - Posi didn't say we'd get exactly that though.]
I'm curious what feature "Joe's Retirement Project" turned into.... hmm....
Ooooooo I saw "reinvent early gameplay experience".. yes please! Then all those people that say they PL because they're "bored" with the early content can stop their whining!
EDIT: Hey Zek, you left the parent directory unprotected, so just by going there, I was able to see two videos I don't know if I was supposed to see .... 
But it WAS being publicly shown at a Convention, so I think it's pretty safe to display...

So, that's Mod08, Bill Horatio Harlick, Vince The Dark Watcher D'Amelio, Matt Positron Miller, Brian General Manager Clayton, Joe Hero1 Morrissey, Ross Marketing Borden, Unknown Woman, David Nakayama.
Who is that Unknown Woman... Mynx?
And congratulations to the guy who teabagged Positron!

I'm still at Comic Con but I wanted to say that the devs and the other NCSoft folks have been awesome during what I'm sure is an exhausting Con for them.
I have to admit that I was pretty excited to hear that they want to extend customization to MM pets at some point in the future.

If they're serious about doing this I will kiss Positron on the mouth (no tongue).

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
My only worry about Going Rogue is that NcSoft has unrealistic expectations about what it will do for sub. numbers.
Picture 21 of your slideshow -- I'm in that picture! I'm the second row Cat-Girl all the way to the right. My first and only female City of Heroes character to get past level six =)
Also, thanks for the video(s)! Hope to see a write up soon!
I can't believe that no one even commented on the other two videos.... isn't that a big deal to people?

Go back and listen to the presentation again. They're not talking about revamping the early gameplay experience in the existing areas. They're talking about adding a new early-gameplay experience, for characters that start out in Praetoria.
That's still good news. I was wondering if they were going to let characters start out in Praetorian Earth, if Going Rogue also included the rumored neutral faction, or if it was going to just turn out to be one or two zones for heroes and villains to go to as part of side-switching. It made me nervous that the character bios for the two signature characters of Going Rogue were both from Primal Earth. I'm delighted to hear that I was worried for nothing.
Not as delighted as I'd be, as you would be, if they had said that they were also adding more contacts to Mercy Island and rewriting the level 5-19 original hero contacts, but delighted none the less.

In theory yes. Though they said it was something they would like to do, and didn't make any promises about timeframe. Still nice to know its on their radar.

I liked the quote from the panel about not all good guys are bad and not all bad guys are good in Praetoria. Some folks are inherently good or bad.
...I forgot what experience means.

I think that new Spines animation will show us more people rolling spines.

I saw the new spines but I was kinda let down. I do plan to make a metallic spine stalker with this straight spines that l.ook like a Silver Mantis like costume.

I've got some more pix from the panel at sdcc09, go right ahead and dig through them.

I have other pictures from the con but these are all coh oriented.
Also, I have a video clip that I'll be cleaning up.
Right now, tired and exhausted and stuff, so I don't trust myself to type a good rundown. Basically, the slideshow presentation had a nice little outline: we meet the 4 guys at the panel, they talked about how they got into COH's dev team. Then, we got a very nice blow by blow about the state of the game from pre-launch through now and beyond.
Q&A time included some requests for base love, suggestions about the game/costuming, and then... well, we had to leave the room and start chatting out in the hall.
What really impressed me while the guys were talking about their history in the industry is that we've got a HUGELY experienced team. Yeah they're hiring newcomers too but the core members of the dev team are almost ridiculously experienced people.
They're also very, very dedicated to this project. Every one of them spoke with respect toward the old Cryptic crew, and with deep appreciation of the fans that keep the game running.
Our money is our time investment, and they don't want to waste our time.
All in all it was a great - but too short - panel. I was very, very happy.
