So Zwil is in the help chat channel on Freedom as I post this. He is answering some questions:

1) Issue 22 beta should start right after the New Year

2) He is aware of the Dev Digest being broken on both hero and villain skins

3) He is not allowed to say when the new Incarnate trees will be coming out

4) They still want more feedback on Super Packs before making changes.

5) Staff Fighting with being made with a lot of skins

6) Zwil has seen the Darkness Control Tier 9, describes it as "baller" -- Also to note Controller is Zwil's favorite AT.

7) Zwil is now singing the Rebecca Black song Friday in Help Channel...

Will post more interesting tidbits or hop onto Freedom and read the chat going on.

Of all the servers to pick to chat on help channel . . . . . . . How can you have time to read the chat before its washed under farm requests?


@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

Actually I am having trouble trying to keep up the conversation because he is being bombarded with Q&A questions.

Thanks Ultimus for the info.!


And i22 beta in January right after the New Year's?



Is it just me or does it seem like they're are pushing out content a lot faster...but...a bit less "quality" of it being made.


Don't get me wrong I love new content (ie. new powersets! ) but...with all the random stuff seemingly just thrown to live even a somewhat broken state...

*shrugs*

We'll see

Dont think we can really judge on the quality though until this issue comes since it'll be the first full proper issue since freedom. I too am loving how much new content we're getting as well though

To put into perspective, we're getting multiple new mission maps for a start every few weeks That alone is a lot more than what we got last year

We'll see
Issue 21 came in September. Issue 22 isn't likely to go live until February or (more likely) March with it going to Beta in January.

September to February would be 5 months.

September to March would be 6 months.

Seems to be about the same or slightly slower than before Freedom.

Considering that even the mid-issue release of Issue 21.5 was around 3 mnonths, it still seems a bit slower than before.


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.

Yeah, and I'm in agreement...just feels like maybe a bit too rushed (mainly the TPN/MOM trials). I didn't think we'd get the MOM trial until i22 or so...but nope, same time....just I don't know...*shrugs*

I'll take more awesome powersets like StJ and Staff Fighting over a few minor bugs/issues all the time!

Same here! Street justice is my favourite set ingame at the moment and i cant wait for staffs! All those different darks have gotten me thinking of concepts for them too, so if this is a sign of things to come i will take a few bugs [even annoying ones so i can moan sometimes] here and there

And this is why I unsubbed. 3-6 months per issue. Reminds me of the old aion catch phrase when you would spend hours on end sitting in server queues....

'akakakakak, nyerk, you paid to wait!'

There's a pretty huge difference between waiting to get through a server queue in order to even play and waiting some amount of time for new content to be released but still being able to play. There's also a pretty huge difference between 3 months between issues and 6 months between issues.

I'm not saying that your decision to unsub was stupid and ill-informed, but I don't really understand it.

I would have to agree with DarkGob here...

Oh I know it's not the same, the quote just happened to fit both scenarios. In this case I'd be paying for 3 months with no new content, whereas I could unsub now and resub when the new content comes out.

3 and 6 months is a big difference, but whether its 3 months or 6 months both is too long to wait for new content to be released. Granted I'm slightly spoiled by trion development (i dont know if I'm stepping on forum rules by saying this) that released patches the size of CoH Issues, except every month, and any bugs that happened to be released with their patches were small and fixed within the next day or two.

You are most definitely spoiled then. I can't think of an MMO that I've played that pumps out content that quick. None of the big ones, anyway.

I had to look that up to see that it wasn't an obscenity; I still don't get what it means in this context though.

I asked him if he could tell me what it was or if not at least his reaction. In the context Baller means VERY stylish.

I find the mention of staff fighting to be encouraging- lots of weapon skins. I wonder if any of them will have blades, or cool glowy parts? A vanguard Naganata or yari would be pretty freaking sweet.

Welp. That's been updated from what was said on Beta on the 14th:

12-14-2011 23:36:35 [Beta Testers]Savannah Nightwolf: I expect I22 Beta mid-January at the earliest
12-14-2011 23:37:19 [Beta Testers]Zwillinger: Mid to late January most likely

So, that's a plus!

Pretty sure that mid to late January still stands...

I didn't say *right after* the new year...maybe shortly after.
