No panel at PAX?

So the schedule for PAX Prime has finally been posted and I don't see any panels for City of Heroes. Did I miss it or are they really not doing one this year?

According to the most recent UStream, Posi said wait for PAX for more info on Backpacks, so I'd say they're going to be there in some capacity.


...


Or Posi is off his medication. Which is unlikely.

The only NCsoft panel I could find was GW2. Exceedingly disappointing, considering how much AWESOME SAUCE they could pack into it about FREEDOM, which will be releasing soon after. Dropping the ball, Paragon.

Blah, I was looking forward to the panel this year. Per what Posi said, it sounds like they'll at least be on the floor this year unlike last year. Also, I hope they found a better venue for the Meet and Greet than the little hole in the ground they used last year.

They can always show stuff in a presentation or a video on the M&G.
Im hoping for tons of backparts as katana holders, weapons, quivers...

Hope that's the case. Last year at PAX, presentation was during the panel. M&G was in a very small room at a nearby hotel restaurant with insufficient seating. Many people had to sit upstairs at the bar to hang out and then pile in to the room for the raffle. Im guessing they didn't expect that many people to show or overestimated the venue size.

We currently have planned 2 CoH dedicated panels and 2 other panels that Paragon Staff are a part of, including one on Community with yours truly .

More details to come!

I read that as "CoH 2 dedicated panel" and my brain shorted out for a second.

That is very good news indeed. I am looking forward to the details.

For the love of $deity, PLEASE!! I *hate* that place. There are *way* too many City fans to stuff into that tiny little bar.

However: don't do it the way (PAX East?) did it; all of the NCsoft games got stuck together into one big ballroom, and all City got was a tiny table in a tiny corner. Aion and Lineage/L2 got 80% of the ballroom. GW/GW2 got a corner that was a little bigger than City's. Don't do that.

Elephant & Castle is a good pub, but yeah it's not a great venue for the CoH meet'n'greet. It's too too too flaming hot in that basememt room when full of people. Maybe if we could take over the outdoor seating, but that's unlikely to fly with the management.

How about somewhere with open outdoor seating (barring rain) and we just crowd everyone else out?

I was disappointed when I didn't see any CoH names on the first list posted, but this sounds great. I'll be there and I'll try to make all of the panels as well as the meet & greet.

I have a three-day badge for PAX and I'm ready for a lot of CoH!

Add my voice to this - please don't hold it at the E&C again - we need SPACE. Everyone was in everyone else's way last year, it was loud and claustrophobic, half the folks couldn't even get downstairs. If you guys have to add a $5 cover charge to offset holding it someplace with better accommodations, I will happily pay.

Be that as it may, though, I live in Seattle, so I will be at the M&G one way or another. Just look for the loudmouth chick in the shades and the SUPERHEROROMANCE t-shirt.

True, the PAX East M&G was as you described, however the only entrance to the kitchen was right next to us so we got first dibs on all the free food that came out!

And the open bar was nice too!

The PAX East CoX meet-n-greet from the prior year (at Jillinans) was awesome.

It definitely was. After having gone to that M&G, I was really bummed that I wasn't able to make it to this year's PAX East. I expected it to be even better - I'm still bummed I didn't get to hang out with my friends that were there, but I'm no longer concerned about missing the M&G now that I've heard the stories.

Technically I live in Lynnwood (25 miles NE of Seattle), but most people don't know where that is. Hence, Seattle. And yes, Bloodspeaker and I have been up here since July of 2010, since Phoenix proved to be impossible for finding a job.

Bothell, and I know where Lynnwood is. What jobs were you plugging at, because I only found work after MUCH tribulation up here.
