I have made him aware of this thread, incase people want to ask questions here
| We will stream live on @TwitchTV this Wednesday at 10:30AM PDT. Questions? Let me know now so I can work on the answers. #cityofheroes |
1. Are they gonna sell the IP?
2. Can we get Bio Armor on live servers?
I don't expect the first to be answered.
As far as Bio Armor, well we did get the next release of SSA somehow. Maybe the date for Bio Armor was predetermined and it will somehow make its way out. I'm gonna sit on 800 points never spent if it doesn't. I'd rather go down with the points than for it to come out and I can't buy it because I don't have the points.
What did the Battalion look like?! They can't show us art but even a description would be nice.

It is out, sorta. But, much like the Cybertech pieces, it's on the live market but not accessible for purchase. It'd require someone in the studio to switch them on so we can actually buy them, and since no one's allowed in the studio, that ain't happening.

Big wednesday !!!!!
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
What is it that DJ Zero says in Pocket D? All I get is "The roppers and the choppers are UK in the house."
Really, I just have to know before it's over. If it's not ending I still want to know!
Can someone please put this on youtube? I won't be able to watch it live.

Governments have fallen to the power of social media. Gaming companies can too.
Not to hijack, but... I can definitively answer what is being said in Pocket D during the Dance music going on.
It's a repeating loop, starting a little before an emphaticly whispered:
"Showtime!"
There's a little skip where the song starts over, and then a few seconds in, that is whispered.
Whereupon one guy comes on and says a large portion of this whole line (and he seems to favor the Left channel, mostly):
"I mean, it's just... it's electronic music, it's... it's.... Well, it's everything. Everything they need. (huffy dismissive)"
Another guy, a bit later, says this line, in some fashion, but the whole line is this:
"Sure! And I thought... warning about that getting there? And talk about the positive results of getting people that had actually suffered stress and weighing the same conditions, so on and so forth... And it really caught my eyes because about twenty years earlier they had a pressure cooker..."
He seems to favor the Right channel. Also in the right channel, there is a tech who says:
"Standby for the transition..."
Right before the music changes tempo/style.
The line you want is this, though:
"The ruffers and the chuffers, the UK in the house!"
I ran it and ran it via Audacity after recording the entire track and clipping it to form the end to end master. Amped it, slid sliders right and left. I guarantee everyone THIS is the correct set of lines being uttered/spoken in the song.
It appears that it *could* be that a ruffer is short for 'ruffian', or perhaps someone who beats drums or such...
A chuffer is either a person who is all talk, but no action, OR a dimwitted malmannered person. Perhaps both.
But make no mistake. This is what you're hearing in the track.
The devs will say "we don't know. Just some throw away lines, doesn't mean anything. Watch, if they choose to. Or maybe, perhaps, they'll acknowledge that "yes, houtex Brawled the audio into submission."
Mike
/I *could* be persuaded that it is perhaps Ruffers and the Chauffers, which would make some sense, being as there's an outfit in England called Ruffer Investments, and their CEOs might be chauffered about. Perhaps they're visiting...
//I'll be missing it, because... well, I hate to say it, but I'm working during it. Wish I wasn't so I could watch live. But I'll be watching it that night.
///I hope to hear good news as well. Cool they're doing this, when they might be job hunting. Thanks in advance Devs!
////back to your regularly scheduled on topic postings .
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Probably doesn't help that I just heard Alanis Morissette before logging into the forums.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

Haha, you read my mind, and I actually haven't heard Alanis in years. But I knew right away what you were posting about, lol....

I'd like to know if the Paragon Studios team is planning on staying together and starting a new MMO project, Kickstarter or otherwise.
Obsidian raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in a matter of hours from Kickstarter, after sharing their plans for another isometric RPG. I think they may have hit a million in a few days but I'd have to doublecheck.
Kickstarter may be a fad, but it's a fad in full swing right now. Let's hope PS can take advantage of it in some way and strike while the iron's hot.
Edit after Googling: Okay, Obsidian + Kickstarter = 2.2 million dollars, bay-bee!

We can do that.

No Kickstarter project has even received even close to the funding needed to start a new MMO project. Your talking 50 - 100 million in development costs.

2.2 million is a drop in the bucket. If you're talking about building a new MMO, I think you'd need to be talking about ten times that amount.|

Also, I doubt that you'd even get 2.2 million. PE has over 50,000 backers. Only 20,000 people even signed the CoH online petition.
Quote:
Yeah, but how many people even KNOW about that petition? Kickstarter gets millions of hits from everywhere; everyone interested in funding indie games all convenes on that one place. Change.org is hardly somewhere that gamers go en masse every day just for the sake of it, lol.|

And even if PS did manage to pull in a couple million in Kickstarter funding, the very nature of that funding, *coming completely from their fan base and not pro publishers,* might turn the heads of potential publishers enough for them to want to be involved. After all, Kickstarter really isn't profitable for those donating; they just really believe in the particular "cause" they're giving to enough to want to help it get off the ground. Publishers and private investment firms *would* actually see profit from the player base, once the game is released.

Not least of which is that you can't put together a Kickstarter project under those guidelines. "We need to raise $2 million so hopefully a publisher decides to give us even more money" is not a valid project.
Has anyone located a link to this stream for those of us that missed it?

Just what tittle says... Will be good to see them.
Wish they could give us some kind of good news...
