So that makes me wonder....is Posi working on 'world of heroes' (or coh 2) or something else (game wise)? Hmm....

Oh well....more news please!

Sounded to me like he stepped down in order to be more hands on with whatever this end game that was mentioned is.


The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?

A: You crash into another one.

Which is fine I guess...more content is always nice

However, I have a feeling Posi is up to something I'd recently started thinking about...the next version of of CoH, maybe?? I'd posted this reply just a short while ago.

This just adds another point on my list!

Again, incredible news!
This is what I'm leaning towards. They do (actually all companies do...okay most do) seem to be working on lots of things in the 'background'. For instance when there was a lull and Jack 'stepped down' to let Posi lead CoH...that's because Jack was working on CO (MUO at the time I guess). Now Posi stepping down to work on end game and "a few other “top secret” initiatives."

Now if that means CoH 2 (which in some ways I want but in others I don't) that's great....but if that just means he's solo working on 'end game content' (something I think doesn't exist in a MMO but I digress) and the "other initiatives" being re-do all old CoH content/maps/etc...and release that as a 2nd expansion for CoH, that's great! Basically I'd like to see "CoH 2" be re-made/have CoH re-vamped....kind of like what WoW has done (will do?) by re-making all the newbie/'old' content and making it new (for at least a month ) again.

Well, it not actual info, but War Witch did say this:

Quote:
"we are obviously working very hard on "Going Rogue" and I think the expansion will make our players happy, give them plenty to do, and keep them coming back for more. And as for the rest of 2010, our players can expect content, content, and more content. We're already working on content for our issue post "Going Rogue" and it's some of the most exciting and challenging things we've ever done"
So it seems that 2010 isn't just about GR

You know what excites me about this? It's that it's War Witch. You know: the Dev responsible for the revamp of the Hollows.

The game's in good hands.

Like I said earlier, what I'd like to see is instead of "CoH 2" (which what would CoH 2 be? A better engine, new content/stories/etc for the most part)....well take all that stuff and put them into CoH. Re-do/re-vamp all the old CoH content and put some new stuff in there (as well as add new end game stuff)

I wouldn't be surprised. We're used to that sort of thing around here, tho.

NGE thing was like this.

You have a shiny tanker, with a full set of purples, and absolute power.


Post
You have a shiny tanker, with no chance of ever getting any purples ever in your life, and you cant kill a level 12 minion by yourself... you need a full team of 8, and well it will take all 8 of you 2 hours to kill that one guy.

Well, announcing that Matt has stepped down (sideways?) from lead developer to focus on designing the End Game content seems like actual new information. Admittedly it wasn't details about the animation times for Dual Pistols' Flaming Doves of Love tier nine attack, but i consider it significant information despite not being very detailed.

Melissa's work has always impressed me. Although i do hope that this promotion will not prevent her from having the time to add her rather distinctive (and very entertaining) touch to the new content.

Cryptic is also working on end game content.
Wow is also working on end game content.
Lotro is also working on end game content.
Aoc is also working on end game content.

This announcement while interesting to our game was dont have any actual end game stuff, is like throwing alcohal on an already existing fire.

End game stuff... that he said he cant actually say anything about.. other than it is fun?!

Ok, well lets move on to some other something like maybe the new zones that are coming, with content in them. Something? Something new? Something we can chomp on for a few days befor we become the ravonous individuals we actually are.

It's still news that directly relates to what's going on in the Development team, and thus Going Rogue. Obviously it's not what you wanted, but it did come with a promise of more details soon, and in a context that implies a more immediate, shorter-term soon than the bog standard soon.

I think you got a little tidbit of info and shuold run with it for a couple days.

What type of end game content? Raids? TFs?

What factions? Rularuu? Rikti (booooo)?

Large groups or small groups?

Puzzles or tank and spank?

Yes, but we weren't sure if (or how big) this new end game would be. Them using the term "End Game system" implies something big. After all, you don't just throw the word "system" onto something small. Honestly, you may not be happy with the fact that the information we got today was a tidbit, but isn't that what you've been asking to get for weeks? A tidbit to "keep you interested"? Well, you have a potentially large tidbit to speculate over, with the promise of more coming, as well as a reason for why we haven't heard much. Be a little happier with what you have for a change, instead of complaining that it's not (and probably never will be) enough.

I haven't complained yet.
If I wanted to complain about this I would.
All I am saying is, there wasn't really anything new.
And I would like some new information.

Lol, my husband wants new videos of the game, a date when we can pre order it and ALL other information about Going Rogue, like Yesterday.

If it helps, tell your husband I started working on a new general ad for CoH last night. With luck, I'll have it done by the end of the month.
