Just been thinking.....always dangerous, i know

Now, it seems that Issue 14 is mostly Architect, with a few minor extras added as well It's been worked on for months now, was originally part of issue 13 after all. There's can't have been the WHOLE dev team working on it though. I mean, people like Sexy Jay and War Witch would have only had a small amount to do on it, there can't have been too many cossie and speech things to add to it, after all. Same with other departments. Once the artwork and graphics for it have been finished, which looks like it was done a while back given how long some screenies have been out.

So, what have these other devs been doing all this time?

Bodes well for I15 I reckon

What?? So sue me for being optimistic

Well, they are working on two issues at a time.
So once issue 12 was out they started work on issue 14 (they started on issue 13 when issue 11 came). Then issue 13 got split it into two, so those working on issue 14 are still working on it, but it's called issue 15 now.

You don't know what War Witch does?

All that brilliant dialogue you hear heading around the zones? The door placement (ala Hollows rejig)? That's her.

She was responsible for the Faultline and Hollows revamps, so at the very least she made the doors in the Hollows easier to get to...

No idea if she's responsible for Technician Bloody Naylor though

I thought all Naylors were just through that portal right next to him?
No, my gripe is with contacts that send you to nearly EVERY zone in Paragon, especially those ones that are complete swines to get to. Such as Creys, faultline (NEEDS a monorail line!) amongst others.
Horribly planned, IMO.

I think you will find there are a couple of free new costume sets coming up too.


I really should do something about this signature.

Yeah, it's awkward. Naylor's just annoying for me because he's so far from the hospital...

The rest of the Devs are working on Issue 15.

You know, the shiny, 5th Anniversary issue.

Don't forget, I14 is to launch in Q1 2009. (ie within the next 30 days.)

Ahhh, that's my point, Riffster ol' buddy, ol' pal! Instead of moving from 13 to 14, they haven't had much to do for 14 as it's been all taken from 13 anyway, so they've had allllll this extra time to work on 15!!

I can't wait

But you know that to speculate about such things will result in

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOM threads and requests for Server Merges because the game's dead on its feet as we all know right?

Oh, quite. Stack up on the shotgun shells and crosses for the doom attack of the walking dead, right?

Hah.

The amount of Dooom sloshing around recently on thse forums, most noticeably from quarters that dismiss the merest criticism of the game as Dooom-mongering was staggering... no amount of normal Dooom will reach those levels for a long time!

But if they don't pull *something* special out of the hat for i15, I'll be surprised... and a little sad.

-reloads the sniper rifle and passes around the spare ammo-
Reasons for that? Not that I know of...
But yeah, the repetitive doom threads tend to crop up at weekends. Mind you, GR seems to be ambushing them even then

I dont think the games perfect, sure, but I think, atm, its doing pretty damn well. An engine or graphics overhaul would be great, but...-prays for great I15- ^^

Uh, Creys takes 30 seconds to get too from Bricktown, and is a Hazard zone anyway, so no monorail.
Faultline has the Pocket D entrance, and there's a monorail station in Skyway right next to the Faultline entrance, how is that inconvenient?

Mind you, I do agree about the contacts sending you all over the sodding place...

Anway, I hope you don't play WoW... You REALLY wouldn't like getting around in THAT game!
