If I15 is a birthday extra "prequel" to I16, with I16 due in a couple of months being the big thing they have promised I think that would be good and would be quite happy with that.

You could always tune into the live stream a player has of test... But you did not hear that from me. *innocent whistle*

Strangely, that'd make I16 go live around the time CO comes out

Well don't look at me. I certainly don't care about anything he has to say other than 3 words.

A few notes from the chatlog - matched up where I could. I missed the first 20-30 minutes of Positron at PD...
* On I15:
04-28-2009 17:52:31 [Local] Positron: I15 is not a super-mega issue. We needed to get the stuff that's ready to go out near the Anniversary
04-28-2009 17:52:44 [Local] Positron: But the TF and SF are SUPER COOL
* On MA issues:
04-28-2009 17:56:23 [Local] Positron: Search is a VERY high priority
04-28-2009 18:16:23 [Local] Positron: We've got a pile of MA bugs we're fixing, but I am not a coder, so I don';t know what's done and whats not
* Regarding farms:
04-28-2009 17:57:54 [Local] Positron: Yes, if you lodge Complaints against the farms, they can be taken care of
So I guess that means that the official position is that we should complain about farms.
* Regarding the number of arcs and testing MA arcs:
04-28-2009 17:57:26 [Local] Positron: I wasn't surprised at the number, but at the speed at which you guys reached it
04-28-2009 17:59:37 [Local] Positron: Yeah, we thought more people would use the Test mode for, uh, testing.
(think this was in response to my pointing out "it's not 100,000+ arcs - it's 100,00+ arc ids used... there should have been a way to 'publish for testing'.....")
* Regarding his personal approach to finding arcs:
04-28-2009 18:01:58 [Local] Positron: I generally don't read the boards to find arcs
So no immediate disadvantage for EU forumites... unless he gets recommendations from those that do...
* Regarding the timing of his address today (well tomorrow for EU):
04-28-2009 18:01:35 [Local] Positron: Uh, because I need to do it at the end of my workday.
* So any clues about the address for the EU:
04-28-2009 18:02:27 [Local] Positron: If I post it here, then you guys will go post it on the US boards and then the marketing team gets mad at me
Hmm - I was so tempted to point out that one of my arcs would let him beat up marketing guys.. so maybe he could risk upsetting them then get rid of any frustration they caused him... but given that I'd already had the audacity to plug Ee-Ai-Ee-Ai-Oh! when he mentioned farming...
* Regarding the EU forums, moaning and the Vault:
04-28-2009 18:03:23 [Local] Positron: We get the EU run down
04-28-2009 18:07:13 [Local] Tiger White: Posi: Just so you know, a lot of the moaning is due to the overuse of the word "Soon", with nothing ever ACTUALLY turning up.. Like.. The Vault, or the Cathedral of Pain, or some forum software that works properly...
04-28-2009 18:07:30 [Local] Positron: Vault has been shelved.
04-28-2009 18:07:46 [Local] Positron: Generating the Vault stuff actually hammered the servers
04-28-2009 18:08:03 [Local] Positron: so we need to reengineer the whole thing
04-28-2009 18:08:19 [Local] Positron: so it's on the back burner until we get the right guy in here
04-28-2009 18:08:20 [Local] Blackhat: There couldn't be much more lag in some places
04-28-2009 18:08:26 [Local] Positron: unplayable lag
04-28-2009 18:08:21 [Local] Golden Girl1: is the Vault still something you'd like to add in the future?
04-28-2009 18:08:35 [Local] Positron: we're still trying to make it happen
04-28-2009 18:22:59 [Local] RangerQuasis: Is there a chance to see you or other devs post sometimes on the euro forum?
04-28-2009 18:23:55 [Local] Positron: RangerQ: We try, but we can get some more imediate feedback on the US forums. We do read the EU ones though
04-28-2009 18:24:24 [Local] Tiger White: Posi: No offence, you but can get immediate feedback on the EU forums too
04-28-2009 18:24:43 [Local] Positron: You are correct Tiger
Note that Posi seems split about devs reading the EU forums.. earlier he just said "We get the EU run down" which seems to suggest a summary (as Bridger/GR have said before IIRC) yet here he says that they do read the EU forums...
* On new content:
04-28-2009 18:06:08 [Local] Positron: We could write Arcs, but with MA out there, we'd rather write TF/SF's
04-28-2009 18:06:36 [Local] Golden Girl1: Positron, are there any plans to give older zones a Faultline-style makeover, like Boomtown, for example, or would you rather add new zones to the game first?
04-28-2009 18:06:53 [Local] Positron: Right now, we'd rather add zones
04-28-2009 18:07:04 [Local] Positron: since a revamp takes almost as much time
04-28-2009 18:31:29 [Local] Positron: So we've done two "revamps" to zones so far.
04-28-2009 18:31:41 [Local] Positron: So we have a good metric on how much time it takes
04-28-2009 18:31:54 [Local] Positron: And for a smidge more time, we can make a brand new zone.
04-28-2009 18:33:18 [Local] Positron: But we can make COOL zones
Note that this is second reference to 'COOL' (both times capitalised, 1st time referring to the 5th TF/SFs)
04-28-2009 18:31:51 [Local] Fulcrum: Posi, do we need to get the umbrellas ready for the 'coming storm' anytime soon?
04-28-2009 18:32:11 [Local] Positron: Coming storm is still a ways away.
* Regarding powers new & old:
04-28-2009 18:09:48 [Local] DR Mechano: is power customisation still pretty much a no-go area Positron or are there plans for the future in the works?
04-28-2009 18:10:37 [Local] Positron: Power Customization is one of those things that we couldn't do at Cryptic.
04-28-2009 18:10:48 [Local] Positron: thats all I'll say about that
04-28-2009 18:49:07 [Local] Duex Elfling: u reckon we'd ever see a Bo Staff powersef?
04-28-2009 18:50:11 [Local] Positron: Duex: Bo staff, maybe
04-28-2009 18:33:30 [Local] Sicari: Can we expect to see mor epower proliferation in new issues to come?
04-28-2009 18:33:34 [Local] Positron: Demon Summoning? Dual Pistols?
04-28-2009 18:34:00 [Local] Fulcrum: lol, I have to ask - is DM/Regen getting nerfed again anytime soon?
04-28-2009 18:34:16 [Local] Positron: If you feel a nerf is coming... it probably is.
* On planning ahead:
04-28-2009 18:10:30 [Local] Fulcrum: Posi, just curious, how far ahead do you have plans for at the moment?
04-28-2009 18:11:25 [Local] Positron: Working on I18 prelim designs.
* On graphics:
04-28-2009 18:16:38 [Local] Golden Girl1: Positron, are there any plans to give the engine a bit of a graphics tweak anytime soon?
04-28-2009 18:16:51 [Local] Positron: Looking into it
* Before a fall???
04-28-2009 18:16:52 [Local] Flammen: What are you most proud of in the game?
04-28-2009 18:17:54 [Local] Positron: Most proud: Vanguard
04-28-2009 18:48:56 [Local] Riffster: Posi what are you most proud of to date and what are you most excited by for the future?
04-28-2009 18:49:57 [Local] Positron: Riff: Vanguard, and stuff I can't talk about.
* On New groups:
04-28-2009 18:19:33 [Local] Golden Girl1: Positron, are you working on any new enemy groups, or is most of your work on fleshing out current groups like the Rikti and the 5th Column?
04-28-2009 18:19:53 [Local] Positron: There is work on new enemy groups going on
* On the devteam:
04-28-2009 18:20:26 [Local] Tiger White: Posi: How many are in the dev team now, after all the new hires?
04-28-2009 18:20:36 [Local] Positron: over 50
04-28-2009 18:21:55 [Local] Positron: we've hired since the group picture
04-28-2009 18:22:55 [Local] Positron: we're taking a new picture on friday
On PvP:
04-28-2009 18:21:19 [Local] Delenda: any new in Pvp? a capture the Flag mode for exemple? new arena modes?
04-28-2009 18:21:39 [Local] Positron: We're working on some new arena modes, no idea when they will be done though
04-28-2009 18:21:47 [Local] Sunblushed Horizon: Can I just ask with the amount of problems that this new PvP has caused and the amount of begging asking for a i12 pvp re-roll with some additions from now. what is the devs current view on (sorry for personal opinion) the disgrace pvp currently is
04-28-2009 18:22:18 [Local] Positron: We love the way PVP currently is
04-28-2009 18:27:14 [Local] Sunblushed Horizon: how about not taking it from a devs point of view i now i12 pvp had its problems but this new pvp system has even more
04-28-2009 18:27:19 [Local] Sunblushed Horizon: how is that an imporvment
04-28-2009 18:27:51 [Local] Positron: I think the old PVP system was severly flawed, and the new one is still flawed, but far less so.
* On boosters:
04-28-2009 18:39:22 [Local] Golden Girl1: Positron, which is the next booster pack scheduled for release?
04-28-2009 18:39:36 [Local] Positron: Superscience
04-28-2009 18:40:08 [Local] Positron: and Dr. Jekyll-costume change emotes
04-28-2009 18:25:35 [Local] Brutax: Positron, it's possible to give us more monster cossie like shark face, wolf tails, tentacle arm...
04-28-2009 18:25:50 [Local] Positron: Sounds like a Mutant booster, Brutax
04-28-2009 18:40:34 [Local] Zortel: Speaking of Dr. Jekyll, any chance of costume changes involving height change, or even from Male to Huge and such?
04-28-2009 18:40:50 [Local] Positron: Hmm Zor... that is an... interesting... idea...
* They're coming.. they're coming!
04-28-2009 18:45:47 [Local] Duex Elfling: we likley to see any more in game invasions?
04-28-2009 18:46:03 [Local] Positron: DE: Yes
* On Facing the competition:
04-28-2009 18:49:18 [Local] Phantom Blue2: Hey Matt, what do you think CoX will have that is going to challenge CO/DCUO?
04-28-2009 18:50:45 [Local] Positron: Phantom: I think CO and DC have to challenge US. We have 5 years of content and systems. And villains.
* on Combined CoH/CoV Markets:
04-28-2009 18:51:58 [Local] Positron: Combined Markets: Maybe, farrr in the future... when the datamines don't have a HUGE discrepency in available inf on either side.
04-28-2009 18:52:55 [Local] Positron: If people are willing to pay 200m on heroside, and you cant afford 60m villainside, you definitely cant afford 200m
04-28-2009 18:53:53 [Local] Judgement Dave: i sth ediscrepency in INF earned to date or in rate of INF earning... the former could be addressed by a 1-time boost, the latter by adjusting rewards on 1 side....
04-28-2009 18:54:31 [Local] Positron: My brain just broke trying to figure out how to make rewards on one side work diff than the other
* On emotes for Arenas/RP:
04-28-2009 18:54:19 [Local] Tiger White: Posi: Can you please enable the emoting in the Arena? It would make them actually USABLE for RPers
04-28-2009 18:55:09 [Local] Positron: TW: We can look into it. Some emotes are problems in pvp though
But the most important info I got was this:
04-28-2009 17:53:23 [Local] Positron: Judgement Dave: Always, and great name, btw.
If he appreciates a punning name then there's still hope.
By my mohawk shall ye know me!

I dunno... I have an Ice Tanker, an Ice Controller and an Ice Blaster, and none of them have the Frozen Fury badge, which would look dead good on 'em in-game.
Not that it matters, since the lag is once again so hideous there's no way I can get them on one, let alone 3, characters 
Any sign of the next Dev? If any?

I think they're working right now - War Witch might slip back later though

Very disappointing. I logged in with different alts at different times of the day, but was lagged out of Atlas each and every time. With other alts, in none of the other zones blueside did I see any GMs, and redside I saw no sign of the anniversary events at all. Didn't even get a badge for trying to take part.
I'm sure those that could get past it had a decent enough time, but otherwise once again another well-intentioned event is ruined by lag.
I'd be curious to know what has to happen before the server indicator moves out of the green "light load" mode...
the thing i don't like is the fact that only lvl 50 characters can join the fights, anything below is dead within a few hits.
i have a lvl 30 blaster and died with 2 hits only because the spider was set on lvl 50 instead of global power, worst thing i have ever seen in any event on any MMO....and i thought the stickman was bad in GW..shees.
What event? There's nothing going on.
