@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Basically? Until we get Test server or screenshot proof of anything, I'm not biting at any of that. Way too much potential for the utter vandalisation of hopes and wants.
Meh. I hate cryptic.

I guess a new zone medieval times and new emotes.
New powers or being able to control mech's of some kind.
I get the feeling of new higher zone content in Praetoria, and a new Hamidon Raid there. (Groups of 8 with a master at the helm)
I do look forward to seeing images etc from test, cause I'm going to keep my expectations low (Thus, not getting too disappointed of hopes and dreams shattered 
)

Noble Savage confirmed that Praetorian Hamidon has tentacles, so it might be a reference to a new Hami encounter. Or it could be whatever we see in the water in the ruined Ouroboros map in the Incarnate arc.

I'll wait for Noble Savage to give us the low down thanks.

I think everyone in this thread understands that Sexy Jay is the Loki of CoH rednames. It's fun to try to tease out what he's hinting at and then later look back on his writing in light of what's eventually released. But he's a trickster and we mustn't assign any certainty to any interpretation of his fever dreams. |

I must add that I appreciate that he goes out of his way to drop these hints. It can't be easy for him to do it in a way that doesn't get him in hot water. Far easier/safer to just stay mum. He adds a lot of fun and flavor to the forums when he chimes in.

This is immediately what I thought of. Who would be a more natural set of incarnates than the Round Table? There would of course be new costume pieces and emotes to go along with the new zone.|

I can't imagine how a dance emote would require 2 unless it is like the slap/react emotes which don't really work well in practice. Would be cool though.
Also love the exciting costume bits being hinted at... necklaces, scabbards, costumes that "touch the ground" or any of the above... nice but I'll believe them when I see them.
Shape shifting class? Animal masterminds? Nah... An animalistic version of ninja run sounds like a more sane interpretation but I can't help but hope.
I can see 'paired' dance emotes, as I've seen on other games. If they work like I think like they would, the animations would run parallel to each other and give the illusion that you're dancing with a partner. I speak of a certain Tolkeinesque game, though the name is only spoken in whispers and discussed in shadow...shadowwww....
The only place I ever saw animations where characters touched was the late lamented Matrix Online which had hugs and handshakes because it tied into the combat system they had which used martial arts moves that involved grapples.
I'll buy into the costume parts certainly and an 'animal' booster. I think that's possibly to make up for people feeling shortchanged with the Mutant Pack, along with possibly a new 'animal' run, which makes sense given the Growl emote.

Well, with one of the Incarnates having Excalibur, a Camelot zone seemed to be a good wild guess |

If there is some kind of medieval zone, then we must have long dresses and those wacky-but-stylish tall pointed hats
EDIT: We'd also need an /e curtsey emote too

What if the dance emote is not an emote at all...but primal and praetorian Hami having a dance in the moonlight......that should be a new TF..."Break up the Hami Dance!"
"A great love is alot like a good memory. When it's there and you know it's there,but it's just out of your reach. It can be all that you think about. You can focus on it and try to force it but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient and hold still...maybe...just maybe...it will come to you. I just need to be somewhere she can find me" - Church from Red vs Blue

I see it's time to decipher another message from SexyJay, the Living Sphinx.
"Samual_Tow - Be disappointed all you want, people. You just don't appreciate the miracles that are taking place here."

We should have 2, like the guys have 2 bow emotes - one could be a quick curtsey with your arms still at your side, and you just dip once and come back up, and the other could be more fancy, where you spread your arms and stay down.

Fancy Bow is too fancy and Bow is an oriental one. Meh.

I suppose it's cute that SexyJay thinks it's fun to craft cryptic "walls-o-text" instead of directing that creative energy towards making more new costume items. But then I stop daydreaming and realize I sort of wish he'd stop wasting everyone's time (both his and ours) and just get back to work. I don't really need him to "hint" at what he's doing for us. I just need him to do it. *shrugs*
