I'd like to see a source of that, personally, as that's not how I remember it. As I recall, the reason they didn't redo the Rikti War Zone geometry was PRECISELY because it would save them a ton of time which they could then spend making the Rikti Base tileset, artwork for the new NPCs, new contacts and so on. That was the point of Melissa's "We could either do the zone or do the story and we chose to do the story" comment.
The Devs are on record that the RCS --> RWZ was almost as much work as creating a new zone from scratch and repurposing the old zone didn't save them significant amount of time and work. Same with Faultline.

I have a hard time comprehending how doing that AND making a brand new zone from scratch could have been pretty much the same as just doing that and leaving the zone unchanged.

If my memory serves, I recall someone telling the devs that in-person and the reply was that there *are* actual women in the art group that makes costumes. Assuming there aren't any is actually a dangerous presumption in a lot of ways.

It's like they assume that just because an outfit looks like "OMG! The physics wouldn't work and a RL woman wouldn't wear that?" that a woman artist can't think "This would be awesome! This would look great! This would look cute! This would..." ect ect

Also, I thought Arcanaville was a female?
Just curious as I saw someone mention he when referencing her in this thread.

You are correct. They either typoed and left out the 'r' or was just mistaken.

Honestly? I'd let Arcana attest to that in person. Or not attest to it, if that is what Arcana chooses.

I mean a source of the original quote. I don't mean to be a dick here and go "Pics or it didn't happen!" but I remember that post from War Witch and I don't remember it going like that. Do we have it recorded somewhere so I can refresh my memory? Because I honestly do recall her saying that the development team at the time intentionally didn't do almost anything in the zone specifically as a means of saving time and money so that they could get the other things done.
If a not doing a total revamp of the zone from scratch didn't save much effort, why didn't it happen? Wouldn't that mean it wouldn't have been much effort to do it?

Cheryl Austin is a character artist, and Carolina Tello Alvarado is a concept artist.
Are you honestly trying to imply Tunnel Rat said "oooh, flouncy fur-trimmed mini-skirt! Brilliant!" LOL Actually, I'm pretty sure she's said repeatedly that she doesn't have anything to do with costumes, just effects.

What do you think of the new Barbarian outfit, GG? Will you be abandoning your trademark stars and stripes (which I love, btw!), for the new Barbarian togs? |

Quite frankly, a number of different devs said this a number of different times so consistently, that I find it odd you remember it differently. If you remember a dev saying it was relatively easy, then *you* find that quote.

Fair enough. We both know I don't have one. And again - I wasn't saying you prove what you're saying is true. It's just so different from what I remember that I... Don't get it, honestly.

I remember Melissa saying the chose no to redo the War Zone because they didn't have the resources to do it, and I remember Matt Miller saying that revamping an old zone is as expensive as making a new zone, but at the time he was referring to the Faultline revamp which WAS a new zone. I simply have a hard time understanding how making a whole new zone and NOT making a whole new zone can be relatively the same amount of effort when making a new zone has always been said to be a lot of effort.
Again, I'm not doubting your word, I just can't make sense of this in light of what I remember. It's possible I remember wrong, it's possible you're referring to posts I never saw. I could well just be wrong. But it's difficult for me to just conclude I've been remembering this wrong for how many years now?

Thanks for posting info from pax. Power is out where I am still(4days).
so I'm using my phone to keep updated about this stuff
Going to miss the fun and nice people here at CoH. Feel free to add me on PS3/XBox360
PS3X360: OmniNogard
Currently playing: Mass Effect 3(PS3) Minecraft(X360) Skyrim(X360).
I don't have any undefended exhaust ports.
It may seem odd my making jokes about my own exhaust ports, but around these parts its probably better than letting other people do it.
