Looks pretty smart, yet another way in which CoX will surpass all MMO's in terms of user customisation! Looking forward to it

It's a nice little teaser but that's not what's really important with the system. It needs to allow people to make the missions they want so this hasn't wet my apatite anymore than it was already moistened already.

Having said that, I did like it

For the majority of people looking forward to the MA this teaser looks awesome.

I think I'm going to have to go with "no, it doesn't."

It is, as you say, a teaser. Sadly, it tells me absolutely nothing and so does not look remotely awesome.

And yes, I am very much looking forward to the MA.

Someone is going to have to come up with another acronym than MA. I thought this was about Martial Arts.

Mmm... dreamy. What? Oh, sorry... just getting all excited about the mission architect and started designing projects in my head again. I should start comitting some of these to paper so I don't forget when they finally release the update.

...expect LOTS of lag when it's released

Appearance of the place looks good.

It's also nice to see the re-emergence of the story-type intros that accompany the Issues.

Can we get the same level of detail (story-wise) for the forthcoming Valentine's event?

Hallmarks attempt at world dominance finally played out as a storyboard is something I'd like to see

PRAF68_EU · 02-04-2009 06:43 PM

Valatines event has no new stuff, apparently, this year. I guess I could renew my WAR subs and through skulls at people.

I notice that the Atlas Park Architect site already has a Crey hording up, which ties in well with the story.

I really should do something about this signature.

Cynic · 02-04-2009 06:44 PM

Valentines event for me this year will be soloing through Everquest 2 then, with any luck there'll be some sort of aniversery event worth going to

Oh for some moral grey areas, I'd renew my second and third accounts for some moral grey areas, I'd stop playing EQ2 for some moral grey areas.

But I'm being too hopeful

I am looking forward to it, have been looking forward to a mission editor ever since playing Ryzom (the mission editor in that is nothing short of amazing but hellishly complex)
However I'm not holding my breath yet, what I've seen heard so far the actual editor it's self is still a bit too simple.
Great for the concept of story telling but very few people stop to read the mission briefings, esp in team situations.

However I can also see it having scope to get better with more work put in.

Will have to wait and see when it comes out (I have a few ideas kicking about in my head already, the question is will they be possible with what we get)

Carnifax · 02-05-2009 06:51 AM

Here's a question that occured to me last night : Will we be able to make / play co-op missions with the Mission Editor?

I sincerely hope so.

PRAF68_EU · 02-05-2009 07:32 AM

The actual missions are available to both factions, but to actually do a mission on a mixed team, there would need to be access to the archetect in a co-op zone. Pocket D would seem the most likely candidate.

I really should do something about this signature.

Carnifax · 02-05-2009 08:42 AM

There's also some interesting new data on Red Tomaxes City of Data site, taken from This US Thread

Mission Maker Primary sets

Mission Maker secondary sets

I guess these are the sets available to your Custom bosses.

There are no Mastermind primary (ack, there goes one of my ideas for an arc), Kheld or Arachnos Soldier sets available, everything else seems to be there in some form

*Edit : From that US thread the following are also missing : Electric Armor, Ninja Blade, Ninjitsu, Shields, Poison, Thermal, and Dominator Secondaries.

*Edit 2 : And a list of Available missions pets is on Red Tomax too, although since it doesn't have the Clockwork King I'd assume this list (and probably the others too) isn't complete yet. In fact reading further this seems to be an (incomplete?) list of Pets that can currently be found ingame.
