Going Rogue at PAX
He didn't specify where the zone events would be, of course; just that it would be "how you participate in the end-game system" or words to that effect. However, since the new zone events, like all of this Incarnate stuff, require Going Rogue, it seems likely to me that it'll take place in Going Rogue-exclusive zones, which I suppose would be the four Praetorian zones.
At this point, I'm imagining something like a combination of the "public quests" and mega-raids that (I'm told) exist in other MMO's. I can speak only for myself, but I'd much rather see that than something like a super-ITF, just because I like zone events. However, and it's a very big "however," I question whether this is really a good way to gate rewards that everyone is certain to want. As it is, the smaller servers often have trouble mustering even a single full team to deal with such zone events as Rikti and zombie invasions, not to mention banner events. I hope the devs are observing populations and zone events on the smaller servers as well as Virtue and Freedom and realize that after the first couple of weeks of Going Rogue, the other servers are unlikely to be able to gather sufficient numbers to do this kind of open-world content. Maybe the offhand reference to "for your alts" is meant to remedy this. For instance, Incarnate level 1, whatever it is, might be something unlocked for your level 50's account-wide once a single character has done it. I suppose the theory here is that if you want it, you can do the content on Virtue, then get the benefits everywhere. We'll see! |
I was hoping they would.... |
Ummm, isn't that what we ARE getting? Unless you don't consider a set that has to be shared a new set... which would be an odd train of thought.

I'm pretty sure BrandX meant, "Good! I was hoping they would have a new set for each AT, and they did it! Every paid expansion should also!"

You should make a staff/kin scrapper with super jump, and call yourself "s1th-l0rd666" - you'd be totally unique.

I can't wait to get home in like 6 hours and watch the videos and such... Speaking of which, can anyone post some screencaps of things? I am waaaaaay too anxious to wait that long.

I was hoping they would have a new powerset for all the ATs, long before it was announced at Pax that they would in fact have a new power set for all ATs.
I also think every paid expansion should come with new powersets I'd love a Time Manupulation powerset, but then there'd be alot more people out there with powers similar to my main. So, that would suck. :/

I need a Kin/Kin melee/buff AT.
Dispari has more than enough credability, and certainly doesn't need to borrow any from you.

Heh, Kin/Kin sounds like a an anime character of some sort.
... that is not an Arachnos VEAT.

When I saw Castle's post about Kinetic Melee it made me think Kin/Shield scrapper. Kinetic buffs+ Shield Buffs = awesome!
LEt's hope there is lots of AoE in the set. My only worry about it is the long animations.

Someone put up a YouTube video of the panel and it includes the Demon Summoning video.

Ok, that looks cool. I dig the fire whip.
I wish we could get rid of those cattle heads. The rest of Demon Summoning looks great.

Neat. The moving tails look nice; hopefully the new animated player tails will too. And apparently they did go ahead and use the whip in the henchman enhancement animations - note the scene where she wraps her whip around a demon. So, we won't have to take a personal attack to see the whip.

The cool begins with I17 and apparently continues from there to infinity.
I am a happy CoH player.
Okay, Demon Summoning looks awesome. I love this game.

Wild conjecture, but my mind immediately leapt to the issues of stretchy powers...
off to watch it again.
EDIT: yep. at 2:29 the whip extends from the player and wraps around the target maintaining its lengthy in line back to the player.
I'd make some ungodly combo of Kinetics with either Radiation Emission or Dark Miasma. Who needs to attack with that pairing!
Ok, as I run to change my signature... OMG Electrical Control back on the table! Darn you Castle for playing with my heart strings!
I may pre-purchase now.
Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.
a character concept just popped into my head.
an Ice/Kin Tanker. Usil (from the 1984 Dune movie). Iwon't be able to do it though... no orange for Ice Armor. still .... his name is the killing word ....
Chaaaaaaa-SA!
Boom!
hehehee
I want Energy Aura on my Scrapper to pair up with Kinetic Melee.
