Marcian's Tweeting from tomorrow's Meet And Greet

I'll be brief to minimize attention mongering.

Last time I was at a City of Heroes event, it was Hero Con. I tweeted a lot in regards to the news and shenanigans, and it was circulated on these forums and many other places. This tells me that many people find my City of Heroes News tweets to be interesting.

To that end, I am informing you all that I intend to be at the City of Heroes Meet and Greet tomorrow with Arbiter Fabulous as my partner in fashionable crime. I will be sending Tweets and Twitpics, with an extended emphasis on gaming news, rumors, gossip, and pictures of whatever you want.

Additionally, people will be able to act as Jockeys by sending me tweets requests to talk to certain people, take pictures of certain things, and ask specific questions during the presentation.

Again, I'm not trying to so much scream "Pay attention to me!!!!!!" as I am trying to provide the same service this year that I did last year: to act as a conduit of the information and fun for those that cannot be there, for whatever reason.

Details:

  • My Twitter account is here.
  • The event is going to be from 7:30 PM - 11:00 PM. Full information is here.
  • You must Direct Message me to send requests. I will not get "Mentions".
  • You cannot send me requests unless I am following you on Twitter. If you want me to follow you, please contact me before I leave.
  • The hours before and after the event will see me Tweeting about whatever the gosh I want, and I can get very political when the mood takes me. So read anything before or after those times at your risk.

If you're going to the Meet and Greet, I hope to see you there! If you aren't, I look forward to joining you in all the "OMGAWSH!" aftermath of whatever information it is they reveal there, once I get back.

Thank you all for your time.

Ask them about future plans for Praetoria, and what sort of new zones they have in mind for it - also, ask them about Atlantis and the moon

The Moon Zone... I don't remember the first time I talked to Positron about that. Last year, I asked him if we were getting female Mastermind pets. At the end of the exchange:

Me: "I'm sorry. I must really go on when it comes to this."
Him: "It's okay. At least you aren't on about the Moon Zone."

So I'm thinking a skip.

I don't Twit, on moral grounds

But wanted to thank you in advance for putting in the time and effort to keep us all informed.

I'll be anxiously awaiting a "wrap-up" post compiling your "best of" stuff when it's all over.

Thanks again, Marcian!

Still without an RSVP confirmation (I signed up much later, as I didn't know if I could get the day off). This thread may be more an embarrassment than anything. Oh well, that's how I roll.

Haven't they upgraded you to a Twittest account, yet, Marcian?

I don't follow Twitter, myself, but any useful information you have that makes it to the boards will certainly be welcome. (Any useless information will, of course, be soundly mocked and derided. )


Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

RSVP'd, dressed, and ready to go.

Arbiter Fabulous and I hope to see you all there.

*sigh* Wish I could see that.


Is it odd that I'm more enthused with the idea of Marcian and Equation hanging out together, than all of the CoX MnG?


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Turns out I am nerdier than posi. First 20 "good" jokes get a tshirt, so I go with:

An electron is speeding down the road and gets pulled over. The cop asks it, "do you know how fast you were going?"

The electron replies, "yes, but I have no idea where I am!"

It bombed. I followed up with a bad doctor joke, at which point I think he gave me a ticket largely out of fear of what I might inflict next.

Thank you, everyone that followed. I got some decent pictures from Going Rogue, as well as fun little events along the way.

Here are the tidbits I want to write down before I may forget:

Pretoria is currently for levels 1-20. When I asked War Witch if there was going to be content for higher levels, she stated that the team loves the location and would like to do more with it, but they aren't ready to make a committed statement at this time. So... nothing there.

I asked about bridging the EU and US servers. Got a very "I don't want to talk about this subject" from multiple Devs. Sorry, but no budges in the news stall on that one... assuming that there is such news.

Going Rogue was agreed on shortly after the developers moved into the new offices. So, they've been working on it for well over a year.

Animated Hair can't reasonably happen at this time because there are too many factors involved. To have a variety of hair styles and such, there's the concern of where they call on the body, how they look when they are moving, clipping, so on and so forth. In fact, Desdemona was supposed to have animated hair, but they couldn't get it working for her properly. Yes, there is one NPC that has animated hair. Her specific style of hair combined with their ability to list all of the actions she'll do (ever) made that a very "the stars have aligned" situation. It doesn't actually indicate that they are more or less plausible for Player Characters.

That's all I can think of for right now. As I said, I got some fun pictures and look forward to posting them via stable links later. For now, however, I must crash asleep exhausted.

And Dumpleberry?

It was even more awesome than you can imagine.

No one asked me to ask them. I was not there for the "Developers say everything to get people hyped" phase. Only there for the "Dinner and drinks" phase. There wasn't any information given that I wasn't specifically asked to extract. As such, I would not read into it at all.

Did they mention what was next for CoH...like for the next year or so...
