No, I can't say I knew for certain that we'd be getting a big update but I highly suspected so. The lifetime subscription sale alone was a sign that CO's got a future ahead of it.
Eh, not so much of claiming to know first, as much as been saying something is coming and being called a fangirl for it with just basic evidence all around everyone that many people here blatantly ignored.
Again, not really.
You came into topic about a level cap increase and started callin people doomsayers because precisely level cap increase was considered unbelievable.
Topic is still on the forum and it's not hard to re-read through everything.
You have pretty warped perception of your own posts and others.
This is kind of amusing...since it's the second time it's happened.
"For that which Cryptic feared or could not make reality....there is Cryptic North." :cool:
Fire and Ice
MECHANON
???
So....when does this hit PTS? I'd much rather help put in the time to make this the best thing we've seen in ages than have something go live that's "not ready."
"Steel Crusade is a two-part update that starts with players finding people bursting into flames across Millennium City in an adventure that leads inside the bodies of the victims to identify the source of this affliction. Ultimately, the arc culminates in a direct attack on Mechanon's orbital station... followed by an anniversary event that pits players against Mechanon himself in a world boss encounter."
So.. it's a short adventure arc [between 4-5 hours to play through] and an alert. Just like the others... as expected.
The Ugly
So let me get this straight..
the ONLY way to get these new powers unlocked it to level a *&%$#@ archetype to 40?
*facepalm* you gotta be kidding me
And like Cybermind we're going to have to grind the poop out of this alert to get a tiny chance at the good stuff. great
the other stuff
Lockboxes, and stuff you can get only in them with god awful drop rate; not mentioned but if this doesn't happen I'll die of shock.
/rant
My main will find this event amusing at least ^^

Ah meed always making leaps in logic without actually reading. I stated, that the level cap increase was never off the table. I never claimed it was coming, in fact it was discussed as something they were looking at to follow up On Alert.
I'm sorry you lost your wind in your sails, but considering I brought the point to level cap increase was nothing about it being in the update, just fascinated by the fact people want new content, new updates and more power, but always bash level cap increases when they do exactly that under the pretentiousness that a level cap increase automatically makes older content less valuable some how, despite that's exactly what giving more power and gear does automatically.
But then again you will try to, as always, spin words around to make it sound like you are right.
It breaks my metaphorical heart to finally see CO get a meaningful update...
It breaks my metaphorical heart even more knowing that my corporeal being is non-existent and thus unable to share these lingering feelings...
At any rate I do hope for the best...even against my own perceived thoughts..Anyway:
I try my best to keep it together it's cold

I'm just worried that this two part thing is going to be two LONG parts. If its a two parter like Lemurian Invasion or Cybermind, this is being hyped by Cryptic in the wrong way. However if these two parts are adventure pack length each, then we'll be golden. Like, SUPER golden.

Adventure pack size would be awesome!

I don't see why the freaking out about leveling an AT to 50. I did that with three of them (a Tempest, an Invincible, and a Master), and stand ready to do more if necessary. It's just a matter of playing the game, which I find enjoyable on its own merits.
"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
I love the sound of this update, and very bad thing! my AI Toon Luna, has a crush on Mechanon!, because if anyone who reads his lore she believes it!
How all synthetic rights and such, but my Toon Luna, is bacily like the Geth & EDI now, If everyone played mass effect 3 and picked the synthesis ending!.
Also I may be pushing my luck just a bit but TT?, please answer if you can but,
do you think we can get out hideout rooms, the ones that are still locked behind a wall?, Please?
Good job, folks! Nice to see some work being put into the game (or, rather, the results of work already done). Please ignore the whiners in this thread. There's always going to be people running round yelling "this diamond ring is CLOUDY!".
[ @Skaargoroth in-game / @summerfields on the Forums ] Current character roaster: The Iconica, Lady Mythica, Black Jackal, Omni-Woman, Fantomask Currently waiting for: Moar comics! And maybe City of Titans, too. Hopefully!
it is scheduled for the 4th of September barring any major delays...so here's the pink Mega Destroid Terminator of a question...when will it be hitting the PTS?
Also, please please listen to most of the feedback when we report the bugs this time, please...
Hmmmm... September 4 is a Thursday. Y'know, if they were to run a double XP weekend right after the update's release, a LOT of people would play. *wink, wink*
Too be honest I prefer the fact that you have to earn the powers instead of just having them appear to be able to spend the G to respec my toon and try them out.
The fact we'll earn them from the AT that they are supposed to be exclusive to and that people wont get bored of the powers within about an hour like other powers because of the fact they have to level up and earn it to get it. Yeah... I think it's a good thing that gives an illusion of there being more content / more playable time in the game and will also populate lower level stuff.

I agree. I like the idea of earning things and unlocking new powers in the game. It makes the process of leveling just a little more rewarding. CO is hardly the first game to use this concept - and many games utilize some form of unlocking "epic" content based on level.
1, Leveling an AT to 50 would be something interesting considering the cap is 40.
Typo. I plead the fact that it was after 10 pm, and I'd been looking after two autistic children since around 7 am.
And I leveled all three of those ATs as a Silver. And enjoyed the trip (well, except some parts of MI that aren't really friendly to a Master...). Still not seeing the reason for the freakout.

Anything that extends gametime for me is more than welcome. I've got 13 level 40s, and honestly I'm running out of things to do with alts. Getting some new ideas going is a breath of fresh air. Hopefully Champions will continue with this idea on into the future.
I doubt this is just going to be another random event cycle, 4-5 hours is WAY longer than any of the previous arcs we did. So, yay! Funny that a few people are still on "I don't care if it's content, it's not the content I want". Dear lord, what the heck will it take to make some people happy?
A few thoughts, from the perspective of someone who's currently mid-running every AT in the game to 40:
1: Give that AT a self heal. Seriously, let's stop pretending that they're going to be on a team that has a healer. Freeforms don't tend to rock just one concept in a trinity format, hell I even play a healer and I'm known to be a damn good one. But, that's just one toon. As for archetypes? You don't see a hell of a lot of healer ATs running around. At this point a self-heal of some sort should just flat out be a given on new ATs. I have hope, a lot of the newer ones have all come with some manner of self-healing option. Please, let this continue as a trend.
2: I love that you level an AT to 40 to get new powers. First off, because it pretty much requires you to be on and playing for an extended stretch to unlock them, which increases replay a bit. Secondly: Because a lot of people who say ATs have it easy, or are completely balanced, just flat out never play em. I play them a LOT right now, it changes your perceptions of what it is to be silver when you seriously dig into what they have to work with.
3: Seriously, it's not that bad. There have been a few "Wtf, I have to level a character to 40 to get the new powers?" posts, and it's *really* not that hard. I'm about to have my 5th AT 40 just in the project alone. It's not that painful, and you don't have to keep that AT as an AT after you do cap. Know what having to do this will probably mean? You'll get better at the game in general. Without the 30 active defenses/4 self heals/whatever else most freeforms rock to keep themselves standing, you really have to focus on the nuts and bolts of how CO combat works. In the end, it's actually really good for people as players to have to run through something like this. Coming off of my ATs and going back to my freeforms? I feel like a god, and I play about 10x as efficiently.
4: Hey PWE/TT. Psssssssst. Make a community contest to design the AT's default costume! We did it with sidekick devices, we did it with rampages, one of the AT defaults is already based on a player's character (roxstar) so why not just make it official? You could do votes, like you did with the new costume sets. Super cereal here guys, it's a big opportunity to get the community even more invested in this.
Also, side question: If the anniversary event is changing, does that mean no more summon backup! devices? I really wanted a sapphire, but all I got was a defender that I promptly gave away because I can't stand the man. I could get behind this, but y'all better give out an action figure that's a mechanon possessed toaster that hops around behind you randomly talking about exterminating the organics. Just sayin.

I get behind all of this, all of it!... Now you make me want to make a Re-Awakened Automaton outfit >,<.
you have to achieve it if you ever want to use the new powers. ever occured to you I dont want an AT with the powers, I want to come up with my own FRIGGIN concept for them?
I couldn't care one bit if it doesn't take long to level to 40, because:
1, Its not always true. it takes me a week or more to get most characters to 40, and by the time they hit level 20-28 its already unbearable for me. I can't keep doing this.
2, The entire idea is wrongheaded. I don't care how easy it is to achieve I care if its the right way to do things which its not. CoH was CoH. and it didn't have a core freeform system either.
Sounds like you have a very tearful week of game playing ahead of you.
you have to achieve it if you ever want to use the new powers. ever occured to you I dont want an AT with the powers, I want to come up with my own FRIGGIN concept for them?
You're a roleplayer, right?
Come up with your own concept for the AT as you play, then. Every AT until this point has certain suggestions as for origins of powers and such. And even if the Reawakened Automaton didn't have that "official" flexibility, people who want to bend the rules will do it anyway.
I can agree to a point that is isn't exactly easy to have the mindset to grind levels for alts in this game with what we've had for content until this point, but to have a sense of trying out the new powers to earn them for general use is something I can get behind.
I need to see what the RA does, but I'm leaning toward a sort of "NOMAD/Tan Ru" situation - a probe from a vanished alien civilization that crash-landed on Earth (or maybe the Moon) aeons ago, and has recently combined with some Terran technology and awakened again with scrambled directives.
So there you go - it's all about the tale you've created for yourself.
"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
I'm just worried that this two part thing is going to be two LONG parts. If its a two parter like Lemurian Invasion or Cybermind, this is being hyped by Cryptic in the wrong way. However if these two parts are adventure pack length each, then we'll be golden. Like, SUPER golden.
We'll clarify exactly what comes out when in upcoming previews, but the story of Steel Crusade itself will be all in one piece. The second piece will be the MechAnniversary.
it is scheduled for the 4th of September barring any major delays...so here's the pink Mega Destroid Terminator of a question...when will it be hitting the PTS?
Also, please please listen to most of the feedback when we report the bugs this time, please...
We'll let you know when it's up on PTS. And trust me, everyone knows this is a big deal, everyone wants it to have plenty of time for tweaks and iterations. :P
Ok Gradii, so you dislike the idea of leveling this AT in order to unlock it's powers. So let's look at it from another perspective...
Obtaining this AT is actually way easier to get versus something like a Trey Kings costume drop. So, you have to level up a character to reach the missions to unlock VB in the first place, and then farm and farm and farm some more until the RNG gods have deemed you worth to get the drop. With the AT, it's a similar concept. Except you are guaranteed to get the unlocked powers after reaching level 40... that's a FAR better deal for the effort. Now assuming that the majority of players that want these powers unlocked are Gold or LTS, upon reaching level 40 you automatically unlock another character slot. This would mean that if you choose to delete the AT character that you used, you'll have for sure one new slot PLUS the one that you made available after deleting the AT character. Yay for more character slots!! Now speaking as someone who is currently a silver, and also not a player with many leveled alts... I see this like I would any wanted costume set... if I want the items (in this case powers) then I'll put in the additional effort to obtain them. It's a rather simple concept.
So in short.... either suck it up and do the work to get the AT or make your choice in not going for it. TT and CN are going to watch this event closely to see if this implementation is something that works or not.
Anyways, it's awesome news to see something like this being added into the game... I am certainly looking forward to enjoying it when I can get back to playing ^.^

The topic started with mention about STO Delta Rising. Then there were few post expressing disbelief in level cap raise for CO.
Then you came inside and without even reading posts and called doomsaying.

b) - weren't experssing opinion about CO soon being closed

The fact we'll earn them from the AT that they are supposed to be exclusive to and that people wont get bored of the powers within about an hour like other powers because of the fact they have to level up and earn it to get it. Yeah... I think it's a good thing that gives an illusion of there being more content / more playable time in the game and will also populate lower level stuff.

I can agree to a point that is isn't exactly easy to have the mindset to grind levels for alts in this game with what we've had for content until this point, but to have a sense of trying out the new powers to earn them for general use is something I can get behind.
This is a big deal over nothing.

So there you go - it's all about the tale you've created for yourself.

No plans for that, unfortunately.
We'll clarify exactly what comes out when in upcoming previews, but the story of Steel Crusade itself will be all in one piece. The second piece will be the MechAnniversary.
We'll let you know when it's up on PTS. And trust me, everyone knows this is a big deal, everyone wants it to have plenty of time for tweaks and iterations. :P
Obtaining this AT is actually way easier to get versus something like a Trey Kings costume drop. So, you have to level up a character to reach the missions to unlock VB in the first place, and then farm and farm and farm some more until the RNG gods have deemed you worth to get the drop. With the AT, it's a similar concept. Except you are guaranteed to get the unlocked powers after reaching level 40... that's a FAR better deal for the effort. Now assuming that the majority of players that want these powers unlocked are Gold or LTS, upon reaching level 40 you automatically unlock another character slot. This would mean that if you choose to delete the AT character that you used, you'll have for sure one new slot PLUS the one that you made available after deleting the AT character. Yay for more character slots!! Now speaking as someone who is currently a silver, and also not a player with many leveled alts... I see this like I would any wanted costume set... if I want the items (in this case powers) then I'll put in the additional effort to obtain them. It's a rather simple concept.
So in short.... either suck it up and do the work to get the AT or make your choice in not going for it. TT and CN are going to watch this event closely to see if this implementation is something that works or not.
Anyways, it's awesome news to see something like this being added into the game... I am certainly looking forward to enjoying it when I can get back to playing ^.^
