Still looking for /pain guides... I've seen a few decent writeups, but is anyone working on a full guide?

Dang. I might just have to make a base now. Excellent!

I think they want to see how many people will sign up for anything no matter how vague.

You could be signing up to be Soilent Green for all we know.

I have no idea what this is for. But of there are prizes, I wants. All of them. But I am not greedy, I will reapportion appropriately.

Someone asked 'why make it easier to get to missions'.

One possible reason: Mission Creator.

With all the new content, maybe making it easier to get to the missions will also make the 'risk' of traveling to new user-created content and finding that you don't like the mission a lower 'cost' to the players. And better to have more time to enjoy the new content.

Possibly?

Love the guide - any thoughts on the new DM changes?

Out of curiosity, does anyone else think that the Zombie Apocalypse would be fun on any Friday the 13ths that come up during the year?

Win. Best idea ever.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

Dear Devs:

I am very disappointed at your insistence on the early release of the Halloween event. Why I was just saying to my wife (who I am trying to cajole to play) that I wish the Halloween event had been put in on Friday, so we could have the weekend to trick or treat, enjoy the new Red skies above, and have general mayhem and chaos. But alas, it was not to be so…

And then, lo and behold, while minding my own business in WW, the Zombipocalypse begins! AHH the horror! So I am forced to run out and destroy all the available Zombies! And the skies are red with blood! It’s better than a Rikti Invasion! Devs, why must you grief our anticipation so!

That being said, I for one, Welcome our new Zombiepocalyptic overlords, with their lovely red clouds, and their ‘wonderful’ new odors. (And I hope the Thriller soundtrack begins issuing from our humble boomboxes.) All hail our future Zombie Brethren!

Several basic, gotta-have DM Guides here - Pollution's guide is great:

Brute Guides - look under Dark Melee

I, frankly, am very disappointed.

In the time it took you to compose that coherent and well-spoken message, we could have had I13, bug fixes, new Self Destruction icon pictures, 17 new costume pieces, Power Customization, Universal Power Proliferation, and a nice cappucino.

For Shame! WORK HARDAH!

/sarcasm off

Thanks Posi. I have had to physically restrain myself several times this week from posting another 'stupid' "So, can we get more I13 info?" thread. Looking forward to more, as soon as you can get it to us.

I was under the impression that adding +END, from IO's, etc., did not add to endurance recovery rate, like +HP does. That is nice to know!

OMG, this is Terrible News! Worst issue Ever! I can’t believe how horrible all these ideas are!

Wait, It isn’t Opposite day?

Great news, devs! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I’m flabbertygasted! Serious wordlackage. Wow.

I love the $10 price, all due respect Des .

Keeps people from using it trivially. Avails it to those who REALLY want it.

If the price needs to be lowered, SuWEET! Devs can look at demand, and if they see no one using it, they can just lower the price to, say, 7.50, and see how much better their profits get, or how much worse. Raising the price after the fact, however, will engender severe hard feelings. I mean, look at all the… well, all the ‘nice people’ who think this is bad. Kinda like the people saying that the optional in game ads will leave them starving and horribly disfigured.

I don’t see myself ever using it, but nice to know it’s there.

I personally think 7.50 will be the sweet spot for profitability.

And I am all for things to make the game more profitable for the devs. We need to keep the game afloat.

Great Idea Devs – more options, more profit, no obligation! This is a wise and forward-looking model.

I don't recall when, but I think the Rested XP idea is not seen in a positive light by the devs, and I agree.

[baseless speculation ON]
I think it may be more along the lines of 'rewards for game-related activities outside the actual game,' perhaps related to the vault, perhaps related to the new ingame ads (player created), perhaps a whole new thing.
[baseless speculation OFF. Resuming random spewings.]

Guacamole!

Who cares....what are these future IP plans? How do these changes affect the IP, and how does the IP affect the combining of the games? What does this all mean? Any ideas?

Damn you, EvilRyu! I was thinking exactly the same thing, but fear of the flamefest eruption let you beat me to it! Curses, foiled again! [/em shakefist]

Yeah, I thought it because of the apparent emphasis on "the IP"...

...an offline character reward system...

[/ QUOTE ]

Sonnet, please.

My predictions (based on nothing at all) -
1. Contest: Make a machinima ad to be used to promote CoX on TV/etc., for Prizes.
2. Make an ad (possibly moving, possibly stationary) to be used in-game, for Prizes.

Not sure about the reference, either. Basing it on the Multimedia Forum placement.

[/baseless speculation ON]
I think we may all be jumping the gun a little with our hopes for the mission/arc creator. I suspect that the first iteration will be a simple (and I use that term loosely) port of what Posi said specifically: “You’ll be able to pick the map, villain group, and objectives, as well as write the dialog and any clues needed for the missions.”

I suspect that after the players have been able to use it and get a feel for it, then the devs will probably give us more tools to flesh out the missions in more detail, more options, possible cutscenes/mob placement/pet inclusion/AV design/FREEM shading….

But my guess is that the first run at this may be pretty rudimentary. That will help another purpose as well: not to scare away non-programmers with an interface that is so complex that only experts can use it.

[/baseless speculation OFF]

I look forward eagerly to the vast possibilities…

Great feature, devs. Thank You!

I'm sure the mission customizer will have limitations, so those fantasizing about lvl 53 Hellions probably won't get them. I'm sure they will be limited to the level that the particular villain group can be at now.

[/ QUOTE ]

But seriously, I hope they make this an option. I can't wait to fight the Ultimate Hellion AV: The GodMotherFather.

You guys are great. Once again, well done devs.

I am a sad panda.

/em lights a match, holds it up in respect

Gonna miss you Putz. We’ve had many Funs together. Don’t let me burn my finger before you return to resume the Funs.

Mucho Gratz!!!

I want Visual Sounds! YOur April Fools Joke has backfired! WE WANT IT! Especially FREEM!

This looks like a number of great QoL additions to an already amazing tool. - And we won't even have to be in Closed beta to see it first! Awesome!
