Sorry but it just doesn't excite me in the slightest, I think the MA is a huge white elephant anyway and doesn't interest me, and we don't get into that anyway as we aren't American.

But on the bright side..........when is I15?

Zhaan, Chakyra, Fiorina 161, Aeryn, Polly Nation, Dee Pression, Shazanne, Night Jester and too many more to mention.

I'm pretty sure you'll be allowed to use the MA at some point

Will we need a green card first?

Golden Girl · 02-13-2009 09:21 PM

No, just a credit card

Where's the announcement that outlines what is in I14???

Techbot Alpha · 02-13-2009 09:40 PM

Ok, question; WHY is it only the Americans who get into Closed Beta anyway?

Well, I don't know how closed this closed beta is but earlier closed beta's where just for some people and would be very short so it would take too much time to choose people from the EU to be involved in the closed beta.

I'm not good at giving advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

if anytyhing the MA is going to make the quiet servers even quieter. People will be sitting using this thing while logged in and not playing and some that are playing will be playing through user created maps. people actually missioning and gaining Xp will be in the significant minority, at least to begin with.

I'm not a frequent poster, but I thought I'd peep up for this. I way care that it's gone into closed beta. This means that it's a tiny bit closer to the point where I can use it.

This matters to the EU because?

Because that means open beta will follow a few weeks later, and then launch some weeks after that. Closed beta means it's not *too* far from launch.

Me too. I believe this'll be a nice addition to the game and by the way I've seen way more people online the last couple of months for some reason... and we going to the Americas anyways, right?

Enforcer_EU · 02-14-2009 04:29 AM

Don't user created missions give zero rewards? I'm sure I read somewhere that you gain no xp, inf or prestige for playing them. I might be wrong though, if someone could clarify it for me.

Landlubber · 02-14-2009 05:03 AM

Hmm, don't know about xp rewards, but as far as I remember, it was stated that kills etc. in user created missions don't count towards your badges - so no big Marcone Boss farming maps, or similar things...

Of course, there'll be a bunch of new badges to get, so it's all good (I hope)

While in an Architect mission players WILL get normal kill xp, inf, prestige, and inspirations. After the arc is complete there may also be a different type of merit (not i13 merit, not Rikti merit) called a skeeball ticket (placeholder name maybe?). Skeeball ticket is all the information we really have. No present idea how they will be used/redeemed.

While in an Architect mission, players will NOT get: end mission bonus, salvage, recipies, or enhancements.

If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. Let's go to work.

More variety, plus a way to expand the stories contained in the COH/COV universe is always a plus point in my book.

Regardless of what else is going on right now, this is the something I'm looking forward to.

Looking forward to see the system, fool around with it and make some story arcs. Have a few in my mind already.

My biggest hope though is that we can play the maps made on the US servers and they can play ours.
(If not atleast allow the Dev's choices to be able to cross the pond...)

Oh my, the swine have been very vocal about Mission Architect... I'm not sure how much of their information I should share, though. I'll try to be minimal:
- 3 published arcs maximum
- Unlimited unpublished arcs
- Architect Tickets (similar to Merits) awarded at end of mission, based on enemy defeat and objective completion
- Dev's Choice and Hall of Fame can free up published arc slots
- Only earn progress on Architect badges while playing Architect missions
- Customizable enemy groups
- Allies, Ambushes, Combating factions, Special bosses, Glowies, Defeat all on map, Defeat all in room, Defend item, Destroy item, Escorts (lead hostage to mission entrance), Patrols, Rescue (free hostage and they leave on their own)
- Boatloads of badges
