Introducing Dr. Aeon

Greetings: Architects,

I wanted to take this time to introduce you all to our new point man on all things Architect. He's one of our newest hires in the design team, but has already impressed us with how quickly he's picking things up. In fact he's been working behind the scenes for a couple months now on a number of things, but I'll let him tease you all with that.

When I asked him what he wanted his red name to be he said, 'Well, Dr. Aeon of course. I am a mad genius after all.' So, with out further delay I give you Dr. Aeon!


Stay True
Hero 1

Hello everyone!

Dr. Aeon, mad genius and creator of exciting products (such as NutriPaste, now in grape!) is here! It's great to finally be able to talk to you all directly on the forums! I'm honored to be working here at Paragon and to deliver this great MMO community more features for Architect, a system which I'm a huge fan of.

My role for Architect will be working with Hero 1 and pohsyb to deliver to you all more features for the system and to iron out any kinks that are within it. The talented War Witch and our other world designer have also been helping me get accustomed to the world design system we have in place in order to give you guys more great features for the Architect system.

There are plenty of great things that we've been working on for Architect - you'll see Soon ™ a small sample of things to come!

To get more specific, keep an eye out next Wednesday for some new content to be added to our Dev Choice list.

In the meantime, don't forget to enter into our Architect Awards contest, the details of which can be found here:
http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/new...itect_awa.html

The Architect Awards will be one of many sources I'll be using to add to my current list of arcs that will be Dev Choice'ed. So even if you don't win in a category, you have a chance of your arc being chosen for Dev Choice in the future!

I look forward to doing everything I can to give you guys the best time possible within Mission Architect!

Dr. Aeon

Welcome! Hope you stick around longer then Dr. Brainstorm

J/K! Welcome aboard!

What can we expect to see as far as the recent XP changes to custom critters are concerned? Will there be a less "draconian" way of granting certain powers to custom critters and basing the XP gain off of the selected powers themselves? This has been a big concern for more than a few mission architects.

That guy was caught stealing snacks out of people's desks and promptly given his walking papers.

Snack time is serious business!

Seriously? What a jerk, stealing food.

Welcome Dr. Aeon.

I notice on my desk I have a tax arrears notice for 2 billion influence from Paragon City for the varius AE buildings.

Please make sure this is paid, I wouldn't want to have to send Hero Corps after you.

Dr. Aeon once hit my Brute so hard he knocked her though the map! I ended up below the floor in one of the Arachnos labs. I've always had a healthy respect for Dr. Aeon since then.

Welcome and gratz on the new persona. Do you mind direct PMs containing AE/MA bugs?


Be well, people of CoH.

Just out of curiosity, and this may be the wrong thread entirely, but will any of the "dev choice" missions be added to radio missions? Of course, they would have to be single-instance missions...

Oh, and welcome Dr. Aeon!

I welcome our new Red redname overlord.

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Funny, my namesake Mastermind makes a hobby out of invading Dr. Aeon's labs and stealing his stuff. Usually ends up with her making him run away to the hospital again. I think the score is currently along the lines of 10-1 in her favour.

So you've got some catching up to do, Dr. Aeon!

Wow, it's really impressive to see all these new hires coming out of the woodwork. It's good to see the AE has some dedicated staff devoted to it. As an author I'm looking forward to it improving even more.

One nitpick, trying not to sound like I'm complaining, but I hope you're not using the AE contest entries as your sole source of potential devs choice. Europeans can't enter that, and we* already have an enormous chip on our shoulder about feeling ignored.


*OK, maybe just me.
