Player's Summit

Wish I could of been there. New Defense Sets is what I want to see too!

Hopefully Pulp will show up eventually anyway.

So no Egyptian or Tribal?

Zwil's throbbing forehead vein in every session: "What part of 'Speak into the mic' do you not understand?"

And I voted for paramilitary costumes, as strap-on tech and weapons and pouches could be useful in so many designs.

Aye, I imagine strap-on tech pieces would be especially popular with the Pocket D crowd.



. . .
Or the people who remember Centurions armor.

Zone revamp: Independence Port.

--NT

Make Your Case Zone Revamp!

Introductions. World Artist whose name I didn't catch, the "Whedonesque" Protean, Dr. Aeon (Zwil suggests renaming "Body Count" or "Refrigerator"), World designer who built the Summer Event, Think Tank, and Positron.

Ground Rules! With picture of Phoenix Wright.

1) No complete zone revamps
2) Maximum of three villain groups (maaaaybe four)
3) Six arcs per zone
4) Keep the physical alteration to a minimum

He lays out some details. What is the focus of the zone (Like Mot Cemetary in DA), What is the story arc (in 3 sentences), some others.

The idea I liked of those proposed was the Clockwork Fortress in Boomtown.

But they went with Independence Port. They're not promising anything, but they think out of those proposed this was the most intreguing. Trying to involve Lusca more as a Crey experiment, the Family/Tsoo war, the Column/Council War.

I really couldn't take notes on this one.

Also, they mentioned several times that this isn't a "We'll revamp IP!" or anything. They promise nothing. This is more like a thought experiment, really.

The lore and endgame panel is about to start.

I got the idea the IP revamp was separate from what the players were suggesting. Aren't we getting an IP revamp and a revamp selected from the player suggestions?

Story and endgame panel is pretty much just discussion and questions, asking players what they expect the Battalion to be and what makes us feel epic.

Lil disappointed, was kind of hoping we'd get a Dark Astoria-ish reveal for the endgame, but oh well.

Really it was all like what they said it would be, less about big reveals and more about just interacting with players, which is alright but far less interesting to a lot than the last one was. But it shows that the devs are listening to our feedback and willing to adjust things to fit that or trying to probe what our expectations are to better serve them.

So, it's over. It was ok. The power panel and costume panel were probably the most interesting, the rest of it was mostly stuff that's been on beta. Thought he leaked sets might've caused more stir if they, y'know, hadn't been leaked already >>

Well, No answers on the two things I wanted to know the most. Will we ever get the rest of the CoT costumes, and will we get the Black Knight armor in the store?

Please devs take pity on me and my inability to attend and answer these questions.

Kinda hoping we'll see Throwing Weapons down the road since it took second, but for the near future, I'll be happy with water blast. Been waiting 8 years for that one. Perfect combo to me would be a Water Control/Water Assault Dom though.

Very stoked for the Radiation Armor, Post-Apoc Costume Set... and was hoping that a more interesting zone than IP would be tossed around, but I do love Lusca, so that could actually be cool.

I get the distinct impression that they carefully pulled people away from ideas they already had going so as not to rehash, but perhaps IP was an exception? I can all but guarantee that Boomtown and Shadow Shard are already 'on the radar.'
