Don't do it! I lolled!

Fine, I'll get my coat too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Both your coats are over there next to your bikes...

[/ QUOTE ]

No they're not - they're in the NCSoft cloakroom - you'll need to pay 5 bucks to get them back

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't specify if the bikes were in the cloakroom or not. Maybe they are, it's probably an additional $5 to get them.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is - I can see the price list from here, where I'm waiting to log out to get the "Cloakroom Assistant" Day Job badge

Maybe they'll give trenchcoats a spruce up too! God knows they need a non leather option, and detailing.

Could you not hide behind that shield and grab the coats?

Interising points about shields:

Stalkers get them too: Castle was originally against this.

Shields protect "themselves and their allies".

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes but that would only make sense if its a Cone Defense.

I really like, well, all of the changes announced so far. The mission architect is obviously a great plus to the game, hopefully should improve the longetivity and 'I've-reached-50-now-what?' problem.
The Day Jobs system looks really interesting, and I'm excited to see how it'll intertwine with current gameplay elements and unannounced elements in the future.
Finally, thank goodness the villains are finally getting an empath powerset!

I don't know about 'I'll get my coat'...
I think I need to 'Fetch my glasses' because I read that as 'Spank Otter'..... which sounds equally filthy if you ask me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Emphasis mine.

I think I found my next villain name

although I get the feeling this is meant more as a sneak view than an overview, and they might have saved something big to be announced later.

[/ QUOTE ]
I think you're probably right, although I bet the specifics of the base editor changes will be the big announcement that they're holding back - especially if personal apartments are part of it (and that, like the offline job system they've announced, could both be groundwork for the "secret identity" system that Positron mentioned).

Meanwhile they'll probably drip-feed which powersets are being proliferated one or two at a time, like they did last issue.

[ QUOTE ]
At the moment, the list presented seems to involve a lot of work for Jay and the programmers, and not all that much for War Witch and other "content writers", and I can't see them having been allowed to sit twiddling their thumbs since I12.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah that's very much the feeling I got. Though with the mission writers adding arcs to Cimerora I think we'll probably get a zone revamp or two from War Witch, rather than a new zone - and possibly just minor spawns revamps too (like The Hollows) if the mission writers are overly busy with the new Cimerora stuff. Though the "zone refinements" (note: plural) might have been talking about PvP zone changes more than PvE hazard zone revamps - but yeah, I can't imagine War Witch will have had nothing to do for an issue (unless she's working on new zones for a possible expansion pack next year...).

I am very surprised to see Stalkers getting Shields as well.

I wonder if that means that they'll update the maps with valid locations for job offers. Yeah I know, I'm lazy. Blame it on vidiotmaps.

So far so good. I like.

I'm a little uncertain as to why anyone would pay $4.99 for a temporary 30 day flight pack, but heck, if idiots want to pay for something, then good luck to them.

Villain Patron Respecs was my high point, and I suddenly feel alone in that


"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

UI am really keen to see the mission creator - it has amazing potential and while i do not expect it to be [diety of choice's] gift straight away with feedback from the community and tweakings should provide hours of fun!

There'd be so many map icons you wouldn't be able to see the map - it's already pretty bad in some zones

Yeah - I think it'll start off quite basic, but evolve during the next few Issues.

Well actually I have paid for temp items (clothes in a dance game), but they were a lot cheaper than that. I don't think I'd get the temp flight pack, but I definitely get the cyborg pack.

I'll suffer the smothered maps, as long as I don't have to knock on every door just to figure out where they have an appropriate day job for my character.

First, never mind the lack of donuts, where’s the cake?

Second, please, there are so many (oh, so many) threads about paid for content and the pro’s and con’s. Please go find them and feel free to bump them. Let’s talk about the stuff that’s different (as most are, I hasten to add).

Obviously I was always going to be disappointed if I didn’t get base stuff, but I’ve now moved my hopes to the fact that the mission creator will be used as the basis for a base creation system in i14. Time to start learning item stacking, I think.

And I know this isn’t comedy complaint thread, but please stop giving me more missions. I haven’t done all the ones from i5 yet.

Oh yeah, no worries about the cyborg pack - I'm there!

But paying for a temp power? That's just dumb (unless there's a badge with it, in which case it's still dumb, but then I'll do it )

That could be part of the "zone refinements" - maybe they'll create new lobbies and revamp some building exteriors throughout the zones of Paragon City and the Rogue Isles to provide more job opportunities.

All those casinoes in St Martial and pubs in Sharkhead/Mercy could be given lobbies easily (there's single-room instance maps for a Casino and a Club/Bar that could be re-used as lobbies), allowing for bouncer/bartender "jobs". All those restaurants and shops in Paragon could be given lobbies too (Yin's Market's interior from Faultline could be used as a generic shop interior) allowing for waiter/shopstaff "jobs".
