although nothing really was given away the info that we got is intresting now that kind of explains why some of the new content felt like anyone could of done a better job.

(before someone hates on this im not saying that personal iv'e asked several people and had people tell me that. im not playing the new content until there is enough to keep me buzy.)

(Ok i know someone will dislike me saying this but meh) im glad we are getting some proper end game content.

Now for my defination of end game content, i guess im old school it has.

1. to be a epic story line.
2. It can not be done just by anyone.

But with WoW raiding i really really dont like my number two why because it takes way to long to get a group togather and two) takes way to long to complete any thing over an hour unless im bored i dont need another job lol.

so my new number two)

it has to be fun period not fun i will not do it period.

and to defind fun for me here is some exsamples for people (your exp may vary)

things in game i find unfun (your exp may vary)

badges (im so glad that dev are moving away from the numbers for badges)
AE (im glad that it is growing i still find it still bad)
Bases (i like that we can do more with bases but they still need work)
mission that are too grindy (think of some of the old coh missions that are way too long and give you little fun)
shadow shard (...........)

What i find fun

helping others (that never gets too old)
ITF (fun)
some of the new chrimera mission (fun)
secret initiatives (this is always fun for me what could it mean)
Apple TABLET (yea i know it still a rumor but still..........)


i hope that i covered my bases from any misunderstanding and i can not wait for

A) more info
b) beta

sincerly yours:

Guess I am just sad to see Posi no longer in charge. Him taking over was the begining of great changes in this game. I am not saying that WW is not the same, just sad. Change is hard sometimes and when it comes it makes the future seem more uncertain.

Posi, I hope you enjoy your new job more than your old one.

WW, Congratz I hope you bring changes as awesome as Posi did in the position.

And so, they hired Sean "Dr. Aeon" McCann to oversee the MA (and write content) so that Hero 1 can focus on writing canonical arcs. Hero 1 is also the keeper of the CoH Lore Bible.

Bruce "Horatio" Harlick is simply one of the writing staff (with excellent pedigree from PnP RP games... the original Foxbat of Champions PnP).

Ever seen this video before? When I read the interview, I pictured that video, but with Steve Balmer shouting "Content, content, content, content!" instead.

Touché :P

I will concede that point for now... *shakes fist*

I made Bruce run away.

If I've deciphered the shuffle correctly, War Witch now has his former title of Lead Designer. Which means among other things I believe she's now both Castle and BaB's ultimate boss, and the new high value target for suck-up activity and suggestion PMs. May God have mercy on her soul.

I read it. I saw the same general terms being thrown around that I've been hearing for the last four content-starved issues. "There's something big coming! Really! No joke!" Yeah. When? And how much of the "content, content, content!!!" she's talking about is in Going Rogue, as compared to the regular issues?

Some of you have different standards of "confirmation" than I do. I'll believe it when it goes into beta.

Ummm ok. But seven times the numbers that play WoW mean nothing to me, they are a bunch of grinding, moronic kids. The fact that it is free and mindless seems to be the draw.

Plus from the link it looks like its on Facebook, which I despise and refuse to go near with a ten foot pole.

Farmville..err ok.

Glad to see a post.

Really hope that we get something FUN for endgame as Pos indicated. Please, no boring raids or TF's.

We need something for a solo or small group to enjoy.

And more story arcs!

Looking forward to the future updates.

Congrats to all. End Game system sounds liek some new system they are working on.

I'm sure War Witch is going to do a great gob, but the interview felt like they were talking to a politician. Vague statements, mostly dodge certian questions by repeating information said earlier in th interview tat doesn't say a lot anyway.

Its gonna be interesting.

As boss I think you should be in shiny new office digs. You can't crack the whip if you're standing next to the minions, you've got to do it from you're temple they just built for you. Congo Ratz War Witch.
