How about an update? Or at least an update on when we might see an update?
It seems like with the CoX sunset date approaching, this might be a good time to let all those potential new players see what you have planned currently.
Thank you.

Until it's in the PTS and rolled on/off there dozen times, there's a slight chance it will appear in Live in a half a year or so. And probably gets taken off after few days because it somehow manages to bork itself beyond repair. And we've seen that happen.

Looking forward to the Lair review and the custom Sidekicks and Nemesis review combo.

pretty much all of this
In other words, there isn't enough of a difference between the prior report and what the next one would be, yet.
So yeah. 6 months between reports. :biggrin:
Just a thought.

That milestone being the Leviathan event, Dr. D's Island or what? Unless you consider the Lair pass, Nemesis pass or something as little as custom auras to be something big.
Although a Nemesis pass that includes multiple choice arcs, deep personalities that determines their big crimes and more involvement with him/her would be quite a worthy milestone.
Or perhaps we'll see SG bases.
I'm going to hazard a guess and say Vehicles. With Sidekicks as the milestone that follows that.
ya its most likely going to be stupid like this, while the REAL stuff that SHOULD be fixed (nem system, lairs, LFG tool etc) will be neglected AGAIN
its too bad
The Nemesis system needs fixing and here's ideas:
A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. Henry Ford
MMOs are like Dune, except instead of Spice, there's Newness. The Newness must flow. That Sidekicks can reuse at least some STO code (and thus are an easier addition to the game) makes them all the more probable as the next big addition.
Now Sidekicks could be very cool, but I am worried about balance issues. If it were my choice. I'd put Lairs ahead of them on the dev calendar: improving queues, giving players better incentives to run them, putting in waypoints so players don't have to retrace their steps through the entire lair from the beginning when they're killed, adding special gear and costume drops, making difficulty levels relevant again (though nothing will ever make the uberbuilders happy) and improving boss fights. This would shore up a major part of the game. But I'll take any cool thing Cryptic gives me if it's not gamebreaking.
Anyhow, here's a rundown of all the stuff on the schedule from the last report, and what has or hasn't been done.
IMMINENT: (In Test)
* New Custom Alert "The Horror of Hi-Pan" [Done, and it rocks.]
* Wizard & Witch Costume Set [Done.]
* New Rampage Alert "Blaze & F.R.E.0.N." [In test, backburnered but not scrapped]
R&D Report: (In Development)
* "Nighthawk: Friend or Foe?" Event & Themed Content [Done.]
* Cosmetic FX Auras! [Not done, not on Test. Some interface work has been done]
* Mod Bundle Packs for Fusion [Done, if you count Lockboxes]
* Return of crafting maps and other interiors as purely role-playing instances {Done, though it would be nice to also add the Dojo.]
* Free for All! [Not Done]
* XP Gifting [Not done]
* C-Store Coupons [Not done, though some interface work seems to have been done.]
Planning Documents Recovered: (On the Schedule)
* Vehicles! [In Test, likely soon.]
* Lair Updates & Boss Reviews [Not done, nor tested]
* New Zone Events [Not done]
* "Epic Confrontation" and "Invasion" Encounters - for Vehicles and High-Level Heroes [First of these is in Test, though with Destroyer, not Leviathan.]
* Alerts Scoreboards & Achievements (not done).
* Sidekick "Pet" System (not done)
* Nemesis Updates (Not done).
* Hideout additions: Crafting rooms* (Not done.)
* "Terror in Time" Halloween Content (Postponed; progress on this mission is unknown).
* The return of the Roin'esh (Not done.)
* The rumored return of Dr. Destroyer! (Done, but cut short due to a nasty bug).
Nothing in the Unconfirmed section has been done or been announced.
Additionally, we've had some power set development, including the Telepathy pass that's been on Test, and the Night Warrior that accompanied Nighthawk, and some new TPs. To my recollection, there have been no costume sets since Nighthawk, though we've had the much requested Legacy crafted costumes.
This leaves us with an UNTIL Report that probably looks a lot like this:
IMMINENT: (In Test)
* New Rampage Alert "Blaze & F.R.E.0.N."
* Vehicles
* Telepathy Power Set
* UNTIL Carrier Defense mission

* "Epic Confrontation" and "Invasion" Encounters - for Vehicles and High-Level Heroes
* Alerts Scoreboards & Achievements
* Sidekick "Pet" System
* Nemesis Updates
* Hideout additions: Crafting rooms
* "Terror in Time" Halloween Content.
* The return of the Roin'esh.
Note: it's possible that stuff from the Unconfirmed section has been bumped up or dropped. No way to tell.
And was taken away. It's like it never existed. It lead to nothing. Oh, yea...Consept Hawkwing VEHICLES..... Could have been a starter for Nighthawk Comic Series.
So, nice effort. Wasted resources and time.
Destroid Invasion!
Yes. No Doctor Destroyer (except picture of his head, which is a cutout from a magazine and voice). Not leading to anything(BUT i guess the Carrier Defence can be called something to do with it), so it could be called "Comic Series Alert".
But hey! It's broken.
Vladcul in Viktorian London.
Not happening. It was impossible. What ever that means.(well, we know what it means...)
1 thing that's in PTS. Was in PTS? Working? No idea...
*Content for Hover Tank and Speeder Bike????

But more on Nighthawk and Stone would be welcome, as would (at least for me) word on Nighthawk's current role in the Champions -- with his presence at Champs HQ during the Mega-D event, and having a Back-up device, is he now officially back with the team? Follow-up on events would be nice.
As for Vlad, the word I remember from Trailturtle is that we may see it later in some form. I don't remember "impossible" ever being used.
And i don't get the reason, or if there even was one, why the Nighthawk/Stone mission couldn't stay on.
Now we just have Nighthawk hanging with the rest of the Champs, like nothing happened.
Same "reason" i don't see Destroit Invasion returning.
