How can anyone say they don't play?

I mean, think about it, if you made a game, especially an MMORPG, would you not play?

Of course they're going to play. They're going to laugh at us for not recognizing them because they were incognito when we said "Teh D3Vs R ID10Ts!!!1!1" in front of them.

They're going to build great characters and slip them in every now and then so we can go oooh and aaaah and perhaps throw in that power we used to think wasn't good, and spread the word too.

And they're going to sit and chat with people. You know, those odd tells you get every once in a while asking you how do you like phase shift, or I want to remake a character, which would you suggest? Just so they can figure out what's needing fixes, because they don't want their masterpiece to be flawed.

They're also going to sit around and watch, never doing anything to let others know they're there. We all assume they do it whenever we do hammy raids. What's to say they're not watching us whenever we take on that archvillian, or do that 10 minute timed mission?

Of course they're going to do these things. Want proof? Think of what you'd do. The devs ARE people you know. They want to see their game at work and they want it to succeed.

I'm sure a dev was watching when I was trying to solo Dreck 800 times.

"What are you doing kid? Just give up! It's not worth the debt! You'll never make it!"

Mrs./Ms./Miss

Herself.

You wouldn't like her when she's angry. Man, there was one PM she sent somebody, who then turned around and posted it, where you just KNEW she was seriously mad. The message was totally polite (amazing, considering the tone used against her), but right beneath the surface was some serious Ms.(/etc.) Darkity Dark Dark of Darkness.

Umm, yeah. Devs come. Help out. Would be cool.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, when she's angry, you wanna stand WAAAAAY back.

But the rest of the time, she's really nice. Always polite and has a sense of humor.

I'm fawning, aren't I?

You, my friend, deserve a medal.

A shiny one.

With jewels.

And ribbons.

I want a scrapper not a "ravageur"

[/ QUOTE ]
I dunno, "ravageur" sounds pretty cool!

If you know how to use regedit, I *think* if you set the coh->locale setting to 0 it will default to english.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's what I was saying! BRING ON THE RAVAGERS!

See why I said that it shouldn't be released today?

Welcome to Issue 2 - Redux.

[/ QUOTE ]

If only somebody... ANYBODY... had bothered to use Test Server to report these bugs before they went live. So sad...



[/ QUOTE ]
And the worst part is....

Hey, a Ravager would be pretty awesome, actually.

DEVS! CHANGE THE NAMES OF SCRAPPERS TO RAVAGER NOW!

See why I said that it shouldn't be released today?

Welcome to Issue 2 - Redux.

[ QUOTE ]
I'd even like to thank Statesman for his sense of humor and play. As demonstrated by posts like this one.
[ QUOTE ]
OK gang, we'll throw at least 2 of your wants into Issue 4.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sometimes I want to strangle him while I thank him, mind you. Which 2? Which 2? (Let on be SSOCS, please!)

[/ QUOTE ]
Stop saying SSOCS. It's not super-secret anymore. Call it the OCS or Skills.

Thank you developers for announcements.

We have NOT announced ANY date for CoV.

Until you see it on our website, take any date with a grain of salt. Actually, a huge handful.

What he said. There's nowhere for it to be pushed back -from-. Since COV is in many ways a Whole New Game, it takes a long while. If we were brighter, we'd have done another smaller content expansion to keep folks happy (and have a new box on the retail shelves) coming out maybe 6-9 months after last April's launch, but we're not that bright and we keep giving our content away for free.

We're discussing the possibility of doing some pay-fer content (i.e. an expansion pack) in addition to our usual big-[censored] free updates and COV, but we're hella busy as it is, so we'll see. The retailers would love us if we did, and we like happy retailers (and money) - but we don't want to cut back on the Free Stuff in any case.

Keep the free updates coming! More free updates means more money in the form of subscription fees from me!

Kudos for not making me change my board name!

Statesman said that Pistols would be in Update 6 at the earliest.

"OK gang, we'll throw AT LEAST 2 of your wants into Issue 4. "

Hey, doesn't this mean "A Minimum of 2?" Implying possible more than 2? Just a hopeful thought.

[/ QUOTE ]

While I was reading this thread I was wondering if anybody was going to notice that he said 'at least 2' and not 'only 2' like folks seem to be assuming.

[/ QUOTE ]
Hey, I noticed it. I just didn't want to ruin everyone's fun of arguing over who's ideas were more important.

[ QUOTE ]
I gotta figure that of the original set of options:

[ QUOTE ]

New Costume Choices
PvP Arenas
Skills
Another Epic AT or two avaliable to Everyone
Real post 50 content, more raids etc.


[/ QUOTE ]

What States could commit to for Issue 4 without committing to anything he hasn't ALREADY committed to would be:

New Costume Choices
Another Epic AT or two avaliable to Everyone

I can't imagine it would take much to add some costume choices, and they may HAVE to because of the lawsuit.

As for the new epic AT's available to everyone, I am guessing he will just add new AT's available to everyone - something he has already committed to.

Just my 0.02 influence!

[/ QUOTE ]
I hope we don't have any new Epic ATs next update, I mean look at the troubles they're having balancing these new ones.

I think he means 2 out of the thread are absolutely positively are going to be in Update 4.

[ QUOTE ]
1) Melee can hit moving Targets and Attack while Running

[/ QUOTE ]
Pssst...... that's in Update 3......

Yeah, the 2 guaranteed things are definitely Skills (Stop saying SSOCS because it's not Super Secret anymore) and Arena. These 2 things=Me very happy.

Dunno. But someone should!

Thank you for Elude and Golden Dragonfly!

THEY ROOOOOCCCCCK!!!!!!

Thank you for responding to my PMs, Statesman! And thank you for being understanding, CuppaJo!

Dude, we're talking about bosses here. Bosses should be soloable. Making people get a group to fight bosses (which show up in a majority of missions) is kind of extreme.

Sir, you disgrace our good region with your careless words!

HAVE AT THEE!!!!

Screw the snow, the hat and the Abominable Snowman.

Know what I want? An Abdominal Snowman! I want my snowman to be RIPPED! I want the bad guys to look at him, and KNOW they are about to be beat down by the Abdominal Snowman! His Belly o' Doom shall rule them.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah! And he should have a deep Austrian accent!

"I vill crush you wis my rock hard ABS! Then I vill balance the snow budget... FOR I AM THE ABDOMINATOR!!!!!"

It's most likely going to be snow or abominable snowmen.

Either would be mega-badass though!

If the Christmas tree is the soul of Christmas, and the carols are its heart, then your present would definitely be its mind!

[/ QUOTE ]
Now that's good.

Statesman, I DARE you to make that your sig.

[ QUOTE ]
I have a feeling that Christmas/whatever time around State's house is somewhat maddening, imagine if you will, you're on the receiving end of one of Jack's presents: you wake up to go open your present only to find a little note that leads you around the house until you find the present, which is actually just an empty box, followed by more searching until you come upon the boX of the packages, note, mor seraching, packing material, Hanging gardens of babylon, and then you go crazy.

[/ QUOTE ]
"Dad what am I getting for Christmas?"

"Well, all I can tell you is that it will be brown and will have 2 functions."

The kid then proceeds to go insane figuring out what it is.

i think states ability to toy with us is one of his benefits. He gets a crappy dental plan but every few hours he gets to make our heads spin in weird circles.

It was part of his contract, sorry.
