Week 3 Recap : Rise of the Trolls

Last week's Recap.

I know the geek thing is to be prepared for the zombie apocalypse, but, c'mon. Necromancers don't exist, brain-affecting diseases kill their host (besides, you can only make so much adrenaline), and radiation doesn't work that way.

I'm much more worried about a stand alone complex.

It's been a rough week for many of us and tensions are running high. Really, it's astounding how fleeting time is. I know that other people's madness takes it's toll, but listen closely: Not for very much longer...

Whoops.



Well, what the heck. Let's do the Time Warp again!

Part of the reason I'm a day later than my goal time of Fridays is because I honestly don't know how to recap this past week. One of the more significant events, of course, was TonyV posting a small directory of NCSoft executive email addresses which he took down a few days later, replacing them with the CoHSunset@ncsoft.com email address. But I can't say what the real result of this was. I hope only that it did more good than harm, but with Zwillinger's departure it's hard to say we'll ever know.

Something we will know, though, is the future of Primal Earth, courtesy of Positron, Protean, Black Scorpion, Viridian, Dr. Aeon, and Arbiter... really? I thought he did powers? Hawk. I know I've long wanted to see the outcome of the Rikti War and there's a ton of good info in the thread about the Rikti. Thanks, guys!

We've made the news in a few more places, but nothing particularly encouraging or exciting (or even particularly accurate, if you look over that link). There's been a little bit of buzz over NCSoft's "bad" week in the market, but while I can't claim any particular market insight, it doesn't seem much different than their other peaks and dips.

I wasn't able to participate Thursday and slept in a bit today (Sorry, Tony!), but I hope everyone had a blast at the Positron's Ally events! We'll have to see if some screenshots can be dug up of those.

There's another particularly interesting bit of news, but Arcanaville scooped me on that: as per Black Pebble's recent comment, there's a feature in the beta client version of the demo playback function which allows users to move their camera freely through the environment. This will be particularly useful for base builders (or other proud SG members) to preserve the images of their bases, but there are some other interesting applications as well, as she demonstrates.

I guess there's just one last thing.

Thanks for the reminder of just how insular and brittle the community had become. Oh you worry about a stand alone complex, better check you haven't joined the Branch Davidians.

There's still super-rabies to look forward to!


Be well, people of CoH.

+1 for this thread title. Thanks for my first good laugh of the day on these forums.

Bweh? This is one of the least-insular communities I know.
