We introduced our Producer letter and Intrepid Informer back in January to diversify the channels of communication in order to reach out to you, our players. To kick things up a notch, we are now introducing yet another way for us, at Paragon Studios, to give you more insight into the life of your favorite MMORPG!

So come and join us on USTREAM between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday, March 31, 2011 ! Developers John "Protean" Hegner and Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney will be on deck with Andy "Zwillinger" Belford and André "Beastyle" Carlos from the Paragon Studios Community team, to chat with our viewers and tell you more about Issue 20! So make sure you log in to USTREAM to watch and participate to the very first City of Heroes videochat with the makers of the world's number one Super Hero MMORPG.

We'll see you there!

I might be able to make this. Good show!


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.

Wouldn't that be The Intrepid Informer: Issue #3 from last week?

Nope - the Producer's Letter and the Intrepid Informer are two different things.

For those of us who won't be awake at 3am (BST) , will the session be recorded, and made available for viewing after the event ?

Even though we won't be able to participate, it would still be interesting to see what was discussed.

Next stop: Paragon Studios channel on your TV

I'm gonna declare now that "kick things up a notch" is the next "take things to the next level".


"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

I hope you're recording it for us Europeans to replay at a more convenient time. I'm interested to see what you have to say but not at 2-3am UK time on a week night

second this idea

and since the subject of recording stuff is on the table

might i ask --even thou some of our good forum-mates have done it for us in the past at PAX and other events. That COX/ Paragon studios spend a bit of money on professional video post of such meetings (like a true big company would and should) instead of some what relying on its players to do so.

as a guy who used to do this for a job (AV stuff)-- its relativity cheap.

Only if they add a blast from their Spiceweasel.

On a more serious note, I hope some real questions get asked so this doesn't become more marketing fluff.

Well, I know that during the informal Ustream "tests", some pretty out-there questions were getting asked (and as best as they could, answered). So I have hope that as long as Black Pebble isn't sitting there with the gag in hand, we might be able to get some good info out of the rednames.

Oh, as a friendly reminder - people might want to pop onto the page now and create their usernames so they can join in the text chat on the site (and maybe give themselves a lil avatar for their name too in advance)

Any news if this will be recorded for the EU audience?

I wish I could take part in that, but I have my own production conference call at the same time, so I REALLY hope someone in the group asks about giving some attention to the oft-ignored supergroup bases.

During one of the tests of Ustream Zwillinger said that it will be recorded, yes.

For any of my EU bretheren who want questions asked, drop me a PM - I'm an EU player but living in the USA so will be around for this chat. Just understand that if I get a swarm of questions, I may not be able to get them all asked/answered.

Annnnnnnnnnnnd I go to sign up for an account so I can ask a question and they want full first *and* last name and location. Um, seriously? I'm really not a big fan of giving that out to any website that asks. It's already easy enough to find me on the internet if you know what you're looking for, I'd rather not make it any easier. Any particular reason the devs *had* to use such a site?

Guess I'm not asking a question after all. Anyone want to bug them about proliferation (especially /nin for scrappers, ill/ for doms, and fire sets for defenders) for me?

Really? I just used Texas for first name and Justice for last name. No muss, no fuss, no bother.

Surely you could do the same with Muon and Neutrino.

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

But, the choppy video and audio was giving me a headache. Hopefully, the video will be posted in a reasonable timeframe.

It would be nice to get a transcript of the chat text as well. Some of it was pretty funny.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Don't be talking smack about my hero.

*makes another note to someday take pictures to explain the last line of sig*
