    Awesome™ video. Great job picking the RT guys to do a little PR for ya, NC. Joel? Still totally wins.

    As for the Mission Architect? Ooooh! So cool! WANT!

    That was so incredibly cheesy.

    Well done!

    Welcome to the forums, Synapse.


    P.S. - I just love your task force.

    Welcome to the boards, Sunstorm!

    Now let's get you an avatar.

    As expected, Rush_Bolt.

    The reason that I'm so bummed is that I truly want to put the the dark halo on Bill's head while retaining his fiery eyes.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    That would be a pretty nice touch.

    As I said though, I wouldn't be surprised to see that sort of thing being in the works for a later issue.

    Does this mean my Cinderfrost deamon can have a fiery and a vaporous(sp?) aura, like frostfire?

    That's what I was hoping, but it seems that this

    Well, in Issue 13, you can now choose "Fire Hands and Eyes" or "Fire Hands and Head."

    [/ QUOTE ]

    means no. If someone can explain further, please do.

    If we can have multiple auras now, I will squee.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Sorry, no squee for you Bill.

    By "combinations" they mean "combine 2 of the options from within this aura."


    You cannot have a Fire Aura option and Non-Fire Aura option. Furthermore, it's not like "I pick this option and this option." It's "I pick this option, which happens to be the combination of those other two options."

    But I would not be surprised to see that coming down the pipe in a few issues.
  7. (QR)
    Yeah, for those interested in that line about the Auras, well, there's new options for a lot of them.

    For example, say the Fire aura selection. On Live, it's got Fire Hands, Fire Body, Fire Eyes, Fire Head, right?

    Well, in Issue 13, you can now choose "Fire Hands and Eyes" or "Fire Hands and Head."

    Most of the Auras now have at least one option like that.

    I wonder if a dev could chime in on my question as to wether they have decided to increase the defense debuff resistances to EA?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Considering the debuff numbers are still exactly what they are on Live, and still say "Not affected by buffs or enhancements"...

    ... I'd say they either haven't decided or have said "No."

    In the video it looked like Pain Domination had a +Regen/+Recovery aura type power (The Pain Dom person does the animation for Recovery Aura and then it shows +Regen/+Recovery sticky graphics on the two other villains).

    I thought it didn't have a power like that... internal change? Maybe?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I wouldn't count on that.

    Watch it closely:
    Villain 1 in Grandville uses some sort of AoE Pain Dom power.

    Cut to Villains 2 and 3 in what looks like Cap Au Diable.


    I'm pretty sure it's fair to say those three Villains aren't in the same spot. Considering that little camera trick, what else is being shown in a somewhat different light?
  10. (QR)
    Huh... Khelds are getting even more changes:

    Cosmic Balance/Dark Sustenance - Each VEAT/Kheld you team with gives you 10% Recharge Resistance.

    Interesting.
  11. (QR)
    Gotta say... no wonder it's been hush-hush.

    Bumping the Architect back to Issue 14 instead of 13 as planned? Gutsy... but considering that you all are putting in more customization options and pushing for having player made NPCs to fight against/with... interesting.

    This has taken a lot of the energy out of my sails for Issue 13, but I'm hoping that it means 14 will be better than ever.

    EDIT: Reading more of the interview:

    Day Jobs and Costumes: Sounds cool. Having more stuff in the Character Creator is always good. And now I really wanna see that Police Belt.

    Leveling Pact: This... sounds pretty interesting. I'm really not sure if I'm excited or wary. Being able to "give" half the XP you earn to another character, be they on- or off-line? Whoa.
    I wonder though: If I play a level 50, does my Level Pact partner get zero XP (since 50s don't earn any XP), does my partner get the level 49 XP rates or does my partner get XP according to his own level?

    Alternate Builds: Now THIS... this could really, really revolutionize CoX PvP. Considering I just used a pair of Vetspecs last month to spec into (and out of) a PvP build on my TA/A... I'm somewhat kicking myself now. I am very interesting in hearing more though.

    Cyborg costumes!

    (QR)
    Here's a little piece I worked up for my Crab Spider, Tangent Requiem

    Front

    Close up

    With HUD

    I gotta say, Black/Black ExoProto makes a perfect base to the Cyborg parts, IMO. It gives just the right amount of texture to the bodysuit, while still keeping the high tech feel.

    Many thanks, KA. Good to see all the pieces.

    Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

    Disappointing.. Another step towards CoX developing a "Cash Shop" that developes more have and have nots.

    Very disappointing to say the least.


    [/ QUOTE ]
    In what sense?

    A buyable Respec? We've had that for a while already: the Respec recipe that's already in-game. It's just that there's now yet another route to get one.

    ... that's not any of the three Trials.

    ... that's not any of the many, Many, MANY Freespecs they've handed out.


    So far, the Devs have been only putting knickknacks in the Store. I fully believe they'll continue the trend and save anything actually, y'know, good for the vast majority of the populace.

    So to your disappointment, I say, Cheer up.

    There are lots of opportunities to be seen as a team or even as an individual leader in upcoming productions.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    so... what does this mean exactly?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I get the feeling it means selected SoA characters will be used as either:
    A) A group of SoA doing things.

    or

    B) A singular SoA being cast as a squad leader for Arachnos NPCs.


    As for this announcement, sounds spiffy! I'll have to create a really good costume for some of the new sets and maybe transfer over my Dom (everyone seems to like his costume for some reason).
  16. (QR)
    OK, "magic" has never been a big draw for me in comics and the sort, but this?

    This sounds really cool.

    CAN'T. WAIT.

    Whoa... time to hit the gas on my Dom. Gotta get 18 levels in a week!

    BAB was leading probably only one or two people in looking after animations (he'd need someone else to hold the camera while he swung his sword around - bow wow chicka chicka bow wow! ;-), SexyJay probably had costume design all to himself or as part of a small art team (two or three people).

    I've actually been the sole animator and FX artist since Issue 8. So glad to say that's no longer the case XD

    If that was the case, then you, sir, rock even more.

    Next best thing would be if Recluse had a wardrobe malfunction.

    O.O

    Great. Now I've got this mental image of Recluse dancing with that fur boa/thing/whatever it is he's got.

    For this, I hate you.

    Statesman: "Greetings, heroes. Are you willing to face the wrath of Lord Recluse and his minions to perform a vital duty? Be warned though, while this mission is necessary, it's extremely dangerous."

    Team Lead: "If it's gotta be done, we'll do it, States."

    Statesman: "Good." *Hands Team Lead a DVD* "Your orders are to take this disc to Grandville. There, you're to hack into the PA system and display its contents for all to see."

    Team Lead: "Wow... this really will be tough. What's on it? Details of Recluse's crimes? A UN ultimatum?"

    Statesman: "Hell no. We're gonna Rickroll that dick. He stills owes me $20."
