News, views and other things from the Devs

Since it's traditional that the EU meeting of the devs is more of a Q&A session than the American side of things, I'll be keeping people posted on various questions answered.

1) Dresses
No plans currently.

2) Cross server teaming.
It's in the works but there's a LOT of work progamming wise to make it happen.

3) Lambda Badges.
They will be making changes to the way the badges are awarded.

4) EU/NA server list merge.
"Very Soon"

5) Vanguard Pack
Will not be available in store since you can get it all ingame anyway.

6) More Costume slots.
Looking in to it, no promises though.

7) Customisable power pools
" We could just make hasten suck so you all stop using it. That's probably easier to do than make it color-alterable"

8) Team up teleporter
"We are looking at the Team up teleporter and how people use it."

9) Kirk or Picard.
"Archer"

10) Posi is sad that his friend can't play the new Valve game with him (the one that involves Portals) due to time issues.

11) Who would win a viscious battle royal if one broke out in Paragon Studios.
"Fight at Paragon? My money is on Hero-1 or Baryonux"

12) Global Account anniversery badges.
"Doing it is a lot harder than it looks"

Will edit in more as they come.

This is obviously tongue-in-cheek humor, but a real update would have been nice. I miss BABs.

Nice, thanks Doc. And I'm with Clouded on that issue: if it ISN'T tongue-in-cheek humor, that is sooooo not what I was hoping to hear. However, thank you for asking that question!


@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.

I will point out that it's mostly just chatting now as per the usual American side of things so don't expect any more answers for anything coming out sadly, it looks like they're being watched like hawks to not mention anything.

It almost defeats the purpose of them even hosting the session.

It's never an offical Q&A

Why label it Q&A then?

Just label it "Chat time with the Devs."

No, it's got a purpose. It helps them keep their fluff answer skills strong for the next interview on Ten Ton MMORPGer.

"So, Issue 20 is out, that's exciting!"
"I can't confirm excitement at this time."
"So what's your favourite pizza place?"

Reread the first part of the opening post

That's what it is - it's offically a "meet and greet" event.

I will note it IS called a 'Meet and Greet' and not a Q&A session. The words Meet and Greet imply general chatting, the occasional question and the like.

Also I managed to give Protean nightmares by saying there are Protean/Manticore slashfic arcs in the AE.

There isn't but shhhh don't tell him that.
