Discussion: Formspring.me 4/23 Dev Q&A Transcript

This thread is for the discussion of the announcement found here.

Is there a technical reason why we can't have more than 36 slots?

I have 24 full slots at the moment. It's not exactly a pressing issue in my case, but I hope that it will be an option to go beyond 36 eventually!

All due respect, but it always drives me nuts when you guys answer questions from people who don't pay attention, that 97% of the playerbase already knows about. "When is I17 coming out?" "What powersets are going to be available in GR?"

Granted, I know you're not allowed to actually answer the interesting questions. Marketing does a great job of not marketing anything.

i asked about the electric control video I cant wait to see it *giggles like a silly school girl*

Wow i did not know you people don´t like vodka. VERY interesting.

Now I want to see those new dance emotes!

I hope the reason isn't technical. I really hope not.

This was not really much of a Q&A. It was more PR to promote GR and all question about issues existing within the game currently were avoided.

So did posi say the Suggestions and Ideas forum is COMPLETELY useless?

The Q&A was useless.

"One of the original balance design goals was that a character should be roughly equivalent to 3 minions or a lieutenant and one minion. That no longer seems to be the goal. What is the design goal today with regard to balance in both PvE and PvP?"

That deserves more than a 7 word answer.

I'm sorry,but i can't help but be upset this whole thing. If you can't answer the questions that you know everyone has at the tip of their tongue, then please don't hold a Q&A.

I asked a question about minigames that wasn't answered. Someone could've easily addressed that one, or even a different one, instead of talking about the already-announced upcoming powersets twice. >_>

Hmm. Some of it was interesting little tidbits.
T'be honest, I'd be more worried if the Devs were spouting off 'Oh yeah, we'll have X, and Y and such-and-such and it will all be soon and great with unicorns on top!' rather than being a tad more reserved but confident they can make it awesome. Jack was like that. We all know what happened to Jack.

And I know I didn't know about things like insp vendors in Praetoria that may move over to Paragon/Isles as well, and the newest GM, and that a 'notch' of side switching is aimed at around a week.


And, actually this; http://www.formspring.me/askcohteam
is the link to the full page, with more questions and answers. Interesting things like;

Will you ever change or update the Loading Pictures when you enter a zone?? by Magma09
[David Nakayama] Yes, this is in the works!

I didn't know that. But I'm glad I do now.

Wouldn't calling the hospital Cole Memorial mean Cole is dead?

Sure today is the first day of the rest of your life. But so was yesterday. And look how that turned out.

I need to find a address to send flowers to,as the DEVS may have broken their hands patting us on the head. This was just a second class PR stunt,If the goal is "is it fun", the real question is "for who?" us or the DEVS? Seems like they are setting a shipdate, and even if it has problems, they push it and figure they will fix it with a later patch, glad that doctors don't do that much or the graveyards would be stacked 6 deep.

"Posi - There is no level cap raise (sorry if that was implied), but your 50 WILL become more powerful through the system."

Oh thank you!!!


. . . well, for the first half, at least. Hmm . . .

The only thing that bothers me is the powerset respec. I've got several characters that were made back, well, back before Villains even came out that were made to a theme. The new powersets fit those characters better, like I've got a BS/Inv Scrapper that would be massively better, thematically, as a BS/Shield Scrapper.

What about offering it as a paid service, much like server transfers, renames, etc?

Rerolling is an option...except for the fact that he's got badges like the first Anniversary, second Anniv, etc. Now, if badges like those could be turned into account-wide, as opposed to character-specific, rerolling would be a viable option for me.
