Congrats to those who have gotten promotions, especially since I have been able to meet some of you at Hero Con 
My only worry is that with WW's move, who's going to write the fun npc dialogs and leave us great easter eggs? I hope they've found someone as cool as WW to do that! 
You don't hit smiling monsters - Sister Flame
A great big Congratulations to Positron, War Witch, Dark Watcher, Ghost Falcon and The Television!
Welcome to the asylum Doc Delilah!
P.S. Can this thread have a different Title? As of this post, there's not a single piece of new Going Rogue information. The team updates are good to know, and it's nice to see that they are moving things forward. Right now, that's the only thing that should be in the Title.

But in the meantime, congratulations.
I can't wait for the Endgame(TM). I'm not sure now if I want it more for the actual endgame or to silence those who keep saying we have no endgame.
Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit
I hope Ghost Falcon will still do some testing - his Hero/Villain-Winter-Lord-synchronized-defeat related wrath was terrible to behold

I've been taking a break from CoH, while awaiting for GR info. This is VERY exciting! I'm hoping to see CoH break away from the standard raiding grind. |

Heh heh heh.
And a lot of you caught the reference to the End-Game that I am now working on. WarWitch frees me up to be creative again (yay!) and my strike team and I are designing and implementing an all-new system for your max-level characters to participate in. Rest assured that my focus for end-game is FUN. I won't be able to give out any specific details for a while, but I think you are all going to be very excited with all the future plans for City of Heroes, whether it is Going Rogue or beyond. So yeah, you all can now fill up WarWitch's PM box with all your suggestions/exploits/requests for info/general chit chat. I'll still be around and answer questions when I can, but she's the "go to girl" for all that stuff now. Here's the torch, WarWitch... don't burn yourself with it. |
As for WarWitch: CONGRATULATIONS!!!
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

D.r. Aeon wrote fome very good dialogs in the AE before he got hired by PC, so maybe he'll take over NPC text duties?

now the big question is: If melissa “war witch” bianco is now the lead designer, what does that make matt “positron” miller? Head honcho? Big badguy? Or did he maybe take over her job? |
Grats Positron! Things are even grayer and give less exp now!

Congratulations to all those who were promoted and hired, and particularly to Positron. Sounds like he gets to indulge himself in the nitty, gritty of 'making fun stuff' again.

If his Endgame team does good things, I'd happily call him the raid boss indefinitely.

And are you in any way associated with CoX marketing? (I won't accept any answer but "yes" or possibly "maybe.")

The update about GR is that they've been so busy with it and the other things that they've been delayed in getting us information about it. Basically a "we haven't forgotten you guys" update, which is fine.

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Also, does it help to be hired at Paragon Studios if your name rhymes with a current employee?
Speeding Through New DA Repeatables || Spreadsheet o' Enhancements || Zombie Skins: better skins for these forums || Guide to Guides
Thats a whole lot of information in one go.
Big grats to the movers, shakers and new hires.
Now War Witch, I don't think you said content quite enough, can you say MOAR content repeatedly for us.

Can we get some INFORMATION?  |

Secondly... CONTENT That's the word I've been waiting to hear for a long time and hearing it now has me very excited about the future of the game. |

I mean I think Posi will be great at developing a compelling end game since he's the one that largely brought inventions to CoH. I want the announcement to mean that he's just taking one for the team because he's really good at designing as opposed to promoting someone else because management wants a "change of direction" or other nonsense. |

Really, really interested in what will be coming in the new End Game content. Hell, the emphasis on content and end game in the announcement is more than welcome. The promotions that are not in response to departures are encouraging. Such a change from the period when Cryptic left the game and dev team on minimal life support a few years back.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
I think I'm going to interpret War Witch's promise for the 2010 post-GR content being "some of the most exciting and challenging things we've ever done" as a reference to animated hair - unless she posts a full list of everything planned post-GR to disprove it.

By the way, I hope War Witch's first task, after getting a new cubicle, is to move the AE building from the RWZ to Pocket D where it belongs

Congratulations to all, although given what a touchy subject 'End Game' is in most MMOs I'd hate to be in Positron's metal boots right now. I guess he will be used to it following the MA drama of last year.
So does this mean that the Skulls and the Hellions will be expanded to level 50? I've always had the feeling they're War Witch's favourites, given how utterly brilliant and hilarious their dialogue is.
