Shouldn't this be in For Fun?

1.) This game has PvP?

2.) Have you ever considered that maybe it could break something like locking new threads automatically by accident?

3.) Loyalist or Resistance clockwork?

4.) Have you ever thought that maybe YOU are in someone else's imagination?

5.) Did you overdose on cough syrup and now have the munchies, again?

6.) Did you hear that Penelope Yin is going to [Censored]?

7.) Do you honestly think he is rich enough to buy a toupee?

8.) Magic brownies or regular?

9.) Chuck Norris?

10.) Are you a redneck or a hillbilly?

11.) Do you think they would actually answer that now?

12.) Seriously?

13.) Did you leave out this number due to superstition? I was born on a Friday the 13th, day before valentines day, dont'cha know?

14.) Did I just answer your question before you asked it?

15.) Do you prefer Coke or Pepsi?

16.) Are you planning to go on vacation?

17.) Which side is more conservative than liberal?

18.) Do you think we'll be able to add actual bathrooms to bases? Are you as sick as I am to find every bathroom door in the game locked and you have to go behind a bush only to find a Hellion that woke up in a bad mood?

19.) You don't think starting a new character is fun?

20.) You don't think opening almost 200 super packs, like I did, for a black wolf pet isn't enough with no badge to go with it?

Edited for typos, or was it?

Do you want to suck all the fun out of a mods' day?

You haven't been to Virtue's Pocket D immediately after these costume codes were released, have you?

Are all of the players stuck in alternate dimensions and we just don't know it?

Quote:
5.) Bacon Primary* and Waffle Secondary. When's it happening?
Given the forum's propensity for *pancake* do you even have to ask?


Quote:
6.) When are you going to reveal details on your "secret project?"
Haven't you been getting the coded messages too?

Quote:
7.) Does Zwillinger own hundreds of hats, or just one that he alters every night?
Does this mean you HAVE seen the coded messages, but you just haven't figured out the code?

Do the *special ingredient* brownies count?

Have I ever given a misleading answer?

If I answer this as I planned, and it thus gave you an answer to my previous question-as-an-answer, would my entire post be disqualified ?

Have you seen the proposed "hat-a-day" collection system that Zwillinger's been alpha testing?

Because it would make updating guide and event type posts impossible.
Granted, someone, who should remain nameless, recently manually locked down a guide post in an overabundance of necropost-stopping zeal...

But, normally, those sorts of things shouldn't happen often.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

I thought one of the red names said something a year ago about WildStar NOT being the unnamed project.

That would make sense because WildStar has been named.


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.

That link says Paragon Studios, not Carbine.

EDIT: Really odd since Z said a short time ago that Carbine was doing WildStar. Can we blame the web team for this? Please?

Carbine's site still says Wildstar...
Paragon's site still doesn't...
Both sites seem relatively active...

it *does* seem to be a likely web team errors...

But in the interest of discouraging such errors by making their fallout so painful to address, I will gleefully spread misinformation and feed the conspiracy theorists:

I often heard people call Carbine Paragon's "sister studio"...
...this is a superhero MMO...
...and the genre is full of characters with alter-egos...
...has anyone else noticed how you never see Carbine and Paragon Studios in the same room at the same time...
...sister studios.... or (insert dramatic flourish) ONE AND THE SAME?




Ok... so... I can check "give the community team more gray hair" off my to-do list for today.

Troy Hewitt from Carbine came up to the second HeroCon to help with some of the stuff going on.

So yes, I've seen Carbine and Paragon in the same room at the same time.

EDIT: Also, it is nice to see Gaffer (Jeremy Gaffney) is Executive Producer At Carbine.

At one point I was doubtful, but Im beginning to join the CoH2 is the secret project crowd, especially considering they reupped their trademark claim for it a third time in April of 2012.

It was originally filed in November of 2010 and the extensions can only be utilized before an actual product is released for 3 years.

Im not sure if there's any actual penalty for failing to release a product using the trademarked name, but the "It's to protect their potential IP" argument falls flat simply by the fact even Blizzard hasn't trademarked the idea of "World of Warcraft 2" to protect it.

For a serious answer to your number 2, Commander, probably because any auto-lockfeature would either a) only read the thread's creation date, and there are threads that have been going the entire time since they were created years ago that would fall afoul, or b) it would have to be coded.

1.) How does a power's aura visibility affect PVP?
Do dinosaurs roam the earth, blocking your view of the sun?

How do you think the Zombie overlords would feel about this? They... had feelings... once.

3.) What would happen if a Praetorian Clockwork and a Primal Clockwork that really loved each other... you know... ?
Does the image of a computer smoking after it's shorted out give you the proper idea?

4.) Are all of our characters stuck in an alternate dimension of CoH and we just don't know it?
Know about what?

5.) Bacon Primary* and Waffle Secondary. When's it happening?
Do you really think they're "munching" on this idea?

6.) When are you going to reveal details on your "secret project?"
Would they have to kill you if they told you?

Do you think he has a revolving account at a haberdashery?

8.) Who bakes the best brownies in the office?

Is it time to call the whole thing off?

11.) What incarnation of CoH will follow Freedom?
Incarceration?

12.) Really?

Possibly?

14.) Has anything ever been left out of CoH due to superstition?
Should I have avoided that black cat, and avoided walking under that ladder before answering this?

15.) Is the soda machine a Nemesis Plot?
I heard Nemesis is a Hack. Do think that's true?

16.) Passport badge. When?
Has the Department of Home Land security stopped looking at you funny when you travel?

17.) What dev, back in the day, decided the color scheme would be "blue=heroes" and "red=villains?"
Would you have preferred "Chartreuse = Heroes" and "Mauve=Villains"?

18.) Is it true that Base Salvage will be re-introduced around the same time we get a major Base update?
Do the devs like playing Jenga... I mean Jenga while it's on Fire?

19.) Will we ever see a system to de-level alts that you wish to retire incase you plan to start over again without losing character/badge/etc. progression?
When do you expect Rush Limbaugh to out himself as a closet Democrat?

20.) Are there any plans to implement a new "achievement" system so we have something else to collect besides badges, salvage and pets?
Why would you want another currency added to the game?

I'm not a redname, nor do I play one on TV. Does that count for anything?

(I'm too lazy to go back and find the right post to quote)

WildStar is definitely being done by Carbine Studios, NOT Paragon. The Seattle web team is once again operating at full capacity (which is to say, terribly).

I have this mental image of him pulling one out of a Kleenex™ box next to the door as he leaves the mansion each morning. What was that movie where some rich guy did that? He had a Kleenex™ box full of monogrammed something or another, handkerchiefs or underwear or something, and every day he just pulled a new one out of the box.


We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Some of these questions are good. I think some of these should be asked at the next Twitch TV Coffee Talk.
