Jan 4th 2012 Coffee talk

The word of the new year is: Tangent!

Really nothing of major note in this. It's mostly an hour of Z just shooting the breeze with a couple people about Transformers, Foreign food and driving habits, and other geeky things. Nothing really about City got discussed or brought up.

Two biggest points.

First, Statesman dies in two weeks on the 17th.

Second, after Issue 22 Z announced they'll be doing Issue 23 and possibly Issue 24. (Yes, the whole talk was silly things like this).

So, no big juicy tidbits. Most of the player questions were just opinion stuff or "Please don't take out feature X that is already in place".

They don't always give out info every week, it's sometimes about Clowning out and goofing off . I like these Broadcast, it's about getting to no the dev's and seeing a friendly side of them.

Second Measure said that they've got stuff planned as far ahead as I28 - but that was last summer, so they might be up to basic planning for I30 by now

After introducing at least that many currencies, people will STILL only play BAF and Lambda!

Yeah, I just completely lost interest in this podcast today.

The last couple of episodes have been like 80% tangent and 20% actually talking about the game. But this week they didn't even waste their time pretending they were actually going to talk about the game. And they pretty much didn't.

For those of you that do decide to keep watching I hope that you enjoy listening to Zwil talk about pretty much everything except the game.

You mean the episodes just before the whole studio headed off for the holidays, and just after the whole studio came back from the holidays?

It's a good thing he doesn't do that in the forums. Off-topic posts are prohibited!

We did get to meet a new dev, and crowd-sourced the redname "Neon Walker" for him (which may or may not be used). While that doesn't reveal anything much about the future of the game, it was nice to meet him.

Issue 23 comes after Issue 22? No wai!

Given the odd way issues 18, 19, and 20 were beta tested and then released, I wouldn't be making any bets on what comes after issue 22 anyway.

Also, another possibility is the devs don't like to count too much higher than 20, and start designating issues after names of fruit.

There was something about a new FPS, and new secret projects. I missed part of it whilst wiki-ing high heeled shoes thanks to VoodooGirl. I think.

Mainly just that The Television has been moved from CoH to Paragon's upcoming project. So that's confirmation in a way that they're doing something there other than CoH.

They're always doing something there separate from CoH. This confirms that whatever it is now involves actually writing code.

What is this . . . writing code thing you are talking about?

Don't they just throw stuff at a dart board and see what sticks?

Wondering if it is "Blade & Soul" , although it may be the wrong continent ..

Thanks for the quick summary though Agent White!

As was said in Gran Torino, "Your world is nothing more than all the tiny things you've left behind", let CoH be one of those things. Don't forget, forgive.
