2010 Meet and Greet News

Well I've been searching throughout the boards and I just can't find anywhere that people at the California Meet and Greet are posting information so I thought I'd post a topic about it so we can make any news or information those there can squeeze out of the devs.

I'll update this post with the latest news we find out:

• They love our rampant speculation, but it's way more than they could ever possibly do.
• i19 due for release around November 16th, but if it's not out by then it will be released AFTER Thanksgiving week.
• Something new for the winter by the name of Lady Winter.
• A new Warehouse tile set.
• Concept art for Mother Mother Mercy's hospital was shown. It's going to go...somewhere.
• i19 will have 2 free respecs, one at launch and another a week later
• They can't talk about crossfire support yet.
• Praetoria is expanding.
• The I20 pre-beta stuff was pretty vague. Part of the testing was apparently an attack on the Behavioral Adjustment Facility (BAF) designed for 12 to 24 players.
• City Vault is dead.
• The Incarnate system is meant to give players a new challenge as you climb the ladder. Strategy and tactics in a group is important. "Some powers that may have been overlooked/little used in the past may have new viability."
• New Community created arc involving Dr. Aeon, fashion shows, Luddites and enchanted fingercuffs.
• Power pool and APP power customisation - on some form of burner.

It's still early - give them time

Slackers, move faster

Still nothing?

No news is bad news?

When I check back on this thread tomorrow there better be some news posted here!....or else!...uh....I got nothin'...

I tried to go but I thought it would be really funny to put a bunch of water ballons full of enriche in a cardboard box with a mailing address to markus cole on it. I planned on reporting it as a suspicous package, everyone would have a laugh and then later, with some luck and verbal proding someone would get drunk and throw it at some other drunk and everyone would, and I guarentee everyone would ROFL all over.

So I got this box of water ballons on the Bart, and they transit cops start giving me the evil eye. I got off at the embarcadero station and when I realize how far of a walk that is I toss several ballons into a trashcan.

Security freaks out, whats in ballons, we heard you tell that lady it was a society numbing chemical, show us your ID, how long have you been in the city?

I had to call my brother, have him show the police his ID in order for me to be released into his custody. My brother was so burnt he went the long way home just so we wouldn't pass anywhere near that part of town since he knew I'd beg him to let me out so I could go to the Meet and Greet

*blink*

I'm kidding

I19 is live around November 16th - but were there any hints about I20?

There were, including 2 people video taping for a youtube upload later. As to what is coming in i20.... My memory sucks, I don't remember. I remember the pre-beta testers were testing a brand new interface or technology within the game or something.

They didn't reveal much besides the Nov 16th (ish) date for i19 drop.

November 16 falls on what day of the week this year? Usually new Issues drop on Tuesdays, right?

Sweet!

The I20 pre-beta stuff was pretty vague. Part of the testing was apparently an attack on the BAF designed for 12 to 24 players. Also concept arc for the Mother Mayhem Mercy Hospital. And new tilesets for warehouses (including one with rather cool looking fighter aircraft).

Ooh, that sounds interesting - the BAF is just asking for a raid of some sort to liberate the captives.

Actually, if I understood it right, at least one part of the objectives is to keep people in the BAF.

Interesting news...

No mention of the next booster?

I think news about I20 trumps anything else they'd be working on, especially a little old booster.

We just got one. They're not going to say anything about the next one till next month at the earliest, and probably not till January.

I took video of most of it, but I'm probably not going to be able to get it up on to youtube till I get back home. It'll need to be broken up and I don't have the means to do that here in the hotel room I'm staying in.

a few of the high lights from the 30 minute power point presentation and Q&A

• They love our rampant speculation, but it's way more than they could ever possibly do.
• something new for the winter even, by the name of miss December...er Lady Winter

• i19 release date: Nov 16th...ish
• i19 will have 2 free respecs, one at launch and another a week later
• they can't talk about crossfire support yet
• Pretoria is expanding.

Thanks for the info, V-Tron!
