I'd love a Friday release, but alas, I have no popcorn to eat while watching the fun should the servers horrifically go up in flames over the weekend.
Rule # 1: You don't talk about this rule...
Rule # 2: Always have popcorn (or chips & cheese dip) to watch all the servers burning.
Come on GBE, I thought someone like you would know this by now!

Hopefully if you guys (devs/community people/marketing peeps) do a "what do you like/not like about CoH" survey like you did at the end of the last summit, you'll email all the VIPs (or somehow get it to us) so we can respond, yes?

Any time invested in MMs from now until the end of COH should be spent making all the pets be player configurable, as if each one was a seperate toon that needs a costume. Once they do that they never need to make a new MM set ever again, and each time they add new costume part or animiation rig MMs would be able to use them on thier pets costumes.
I agree! -

Also, if I recall correctly, Z mentioned something special will be happening tomorrow. He almost said something like "Smissue" after that so wasn't sure if he was trying to create an i22 red herring or what. This was mentioned early on and prior to the Pummit tickets going on sale.
Edit: I just watched it again, says its at about the 2:30 mark then immediately goes in to Pummit talk so not sure if it's related or not. -

Muwahahah, I win!

"It's not on the schedule now." which translates to "We are never going to do this." Great.
Yes, yes, I'm not saying that quivers/etc are going to happen in i23 but just "never say never."
(except in the case of City Vault)

Thanks BasilAcid!
Edit:
Design a power set workshop? Oh really now?!
Can those that aren't going to be there in person at the Player Summit submit ideas...like...I don't know...in the Suggestions & Ideas sub-section?
Also for anyone to ask next time:
Will there be some way to have that "what do you like/not like about CoH" survey emailed or sent to VIPs that can't go to the Player Summit? -
Quote:I very much agree that it is a missed opportunityOriginally Posted by Quasadu
I still think they are passing up a fantastic opportunity with this trial by making it +3 instead of +0.
At +0 and with BAF-like rewards, its simplicity and small league size would make it the perfect gateway trial to bring new Incarnates from the solo and small team content into the trial scene.
At +3 with amped up rewards, it's just going to be an Emp farm for the folks who already have their T4's.
The latter is something we need FAR less than the former.
Huge mistake, in my opinion.

Okay so I just did the villain side version of WWD # 6.
Nothing spectacular but there is a bit more story to the villain side of things.
Supposedly Sister Psy. kicked Aurora out of her mind into an Urn (that wasn't there in the hero side version) at the last second before she died.
So as a villain you take down Tystra (? whoever that EB was...) and Aurora takes over that EB's body and is now fully functional and says the above (that before Sis Psy died she kicked AB out of her mind/body to save her (AB)).
So "evil AB" is alive...and is a friend to your villain.... -

I also don't think WE are the people they are aimed at.
Has it occurred to anyone else that they may be focused at people who just started playing and don't even have access to the market. let alone the knowledge to earn money in it?
A 25% boost is pretty nice when you are totally reliant on what drops for you to fund your character.
I'd agree here with the last statement.
For totally new people (or people coming back) without a lot of money, getting all those common recipe drops are really nice; the person can either sell them for a good chunk of change or use them to craft IOs.
I know I haven't used all of my Windfalls that I've received from vet rewards (2 left I think)...I never saw a "purple drop temp power" so..yeah, it's not that great for me. -

Same.
However, I'd be fine with pushing it out another month (edit: or however long it took them to do so) so they can get the sound effects of Staff Fighting worked out along with a real power to replace DS.

Since switching bodies is pretty much Psyche's "thing", I'm guessing she still exists in some form. It would be funny if she was actually mind-riding inside your character without you knowing it. "Lately, you find yourself strangely attracted to Manticore, for reasons you can't explain..."
Hahaha, that would be.....disturbing...to say the least. -
But to be somewhat serious; yes I'm disappointed by Manticore.
As others have said, there are more ways to stop a psychic than killing her. Could have punched her to knock her out, or like some have said, "poison gas arrow" to choke/put her to sleep.
Tazer'ed her, something
This wasn't X-Men 3 where Wolverine had to kill the Phoenix; this was a psychic losing control but yet still had enough control to not hurt Manticore and you and Penelope...
Batman...err..Manticore is always "2 steps" ahead of someone so why didn't he scan the area before the ritual, etc, etc....
Edit:
Why even go through a ritual to begin with? Why couldn't I (the player's toon) be put into an astral projection into Sister Psy's mind like in WWD # 3 and help defeat the evil Aurora part of Sis' mind? -
*shrugs*
I finished the SSA # 6 and...well...
I got a Hero Merit for it so I'm good
*lulzstory* <--troll bait
It just sets it up so that Yin is the go-to "psychic" now and a player made toon can replace Statesman type of thing...
We'll see I guess....
I did like the cover page/art for SSA # 6 though

Quote:I don't know; UGT is usually a good place to use one I think; usually a defeat all so, lots of mobs, lots of drops.Originally Posted by DreadShinobi
A UGT probably wasn't the best place to use the power.
Sure there may be a few lull points (right at the beginning during the 4 "ambushes") but...overall, *shrugs* -
Random is random.
At one point in incarnating my Mind/Emp Controller out he got Rare, Very Rare, Very Rare, Rare (or something similar...forgot now but have all stats at home).
Then he got a bunch of commons/uncommons
The only toon that I've had "huge" issues with getting Rares/Very Rares was my DA/DM tanker. Throughout 40+ itrials he's only received 1 Very Rare and like 3 Rares I think....the rest UC/C.

Aside from Young Justice, there's the New CGI Green Lantern series, and I know a new Batman series, also CGI and Katana is his sidekick along with a gun-totting Alfred, is in the works but I think this one plans to debut later in the year.
I looked for the Teen Titans once on my DVR this morning and just saw all the old TT episodes...guessing this new "Teen Titans" doesn't come out until the fall? -
I feel for ya Hyper; I don't care for 3D movies either...already wear glasses so wearing glasses on top of glasses is...not fun.
Plus 3D doesn't add anything to movies for me.
Woah! Watch out for that baseball, snake and punch we threw at the screen...NEVER saw that one coming... >_> -

Alright, so I'm ready to fully deck out my Kat/Reg Scrapper. I've decided that this is going to be my Dark Astoria character, and I want it to be IO'd out when we launch Issue 22.
...
Let's make the deadline Friday, 2/24/12 at 5 PM Pacific. I'll announce on Monday which build I've chosen and we'll go from there....
So what you're saying is Issue 22 comes out on Feb. 28th?

S.
Me too!
Will have to remember to DVR this...and what other DC Universe cartoons are there? Or is it just Young Justice? -
Look...I'm not getting into any drama but...
I'm not saying, I'm just saying I beat DarkSideLeague's DM/EA Brute AND HP's Stalker with my Storm/Psy Defender with all SOs in him!
They all were like, "we're going to kill you!" and I was like, "pfft, have a tornado! Watch out for that Lightning Bolt!"
And they died'ed....
*yes all the above is false* -
I like these articles that explain what the devs are thinking/etc...and all the tips and tricks but...one issue I have is this:
Quote:Living Shadows + Shadow Field - These two powers work together very well. Lock your foes down with Living Shadows to render them immobile then lay a Shadow Field on top to lessen their chance to hit you. Affected enemies might also be held!
Using an AoE Hold and the bonus is "enemies might be held!"...uh...isn't that the point of the power?
Me personally, I'd rather use the AoE hold and then all other powers...sorry immob'ing a group is fine but if you do that first (in a team setting) you get the alpha...and well, we all know Controllers (and Doms) are squishy to an extent...so not the best idea there.
I like the -tohit and all the powers but...I just don't like the main thing for the "aoe hold" power to have the primary function being -tohit instead of an AoE hold...
*shrugs* -
Quote:Ah okay...not bad overall but...yeah...if it was 10% def to all then that'd be greatOriginally Posted by Draeth Darkstar
Yes, sort of. It's the same type of mechanic, but is AoE Defense only.
It's 10% standard, 15% on the Superior version.
