We need an animation of a shoulder pet eating a (spandex clad) mouse. A number of shoulder pet animations can be sold in the cash shop.

Shoulder pet points straight ahead. Word Balloon comes from the pet: "Kill my minion, KILL!"

Pet wanders from shoulder to shoulder, settles back in original position.

Pet emotes a Tarzan scream

Pet uses an I-Phone.

Pet drinks a martini

Pet clutches heart, keels over dead.

Pets eyes grow big, little hearts float about his head

lots of little emotes can be sold this way, and soon everyone will want a shoulder pet.

Some who were there in chat can maybe fill in what was asked/answered there. I missed most of it, so don't know what little tidbits may have dropped.

Rag doll travel power!

Ha! Makes me think of Saints Row IV.

BTW, while having the avatar turn its head when the camera turns can look cool in some situations, if the player is trying to capture a screenshot of the character this could prove troublesome. Can we get a toggle to turn head-follow off and on please?

"The way travel powers [are] being setup is that you can mix and match elements from each of them, from what I understand. So not technically taking two travel powers, it's building the one you want."

then, "not 100% sure..." "....I'd have to check with the mechanics guys"

Yo even if that is [i]kind of[/i] possible, that is such a great idea, and incredible!

It's just impossible to 'stick' the landing. It would be more like 'noodle' the landing.

The bankrobbery tutorial - is there anyway to have our character remain more "neutral" it seems at the moment it deviates down hero or villain paths. Is there a part to the tutorial to say "Why" the character was there ?

For example "Why" they are there tells lots of different things for example were they there on contract to rob or rescue or eliminate a target at the bank ? these things define the character away from the hero and villain path and could bring them towards the neutral point.

Thanks for the info Doc.

It seems a really large map for an instance. Or will it be full of enemies and NPCs and it just looks that way at the moment cuz it's empty?

I have to say I really like the artwork, especially the combining of classic architecture with those omnipresent business posters. It seems like exactly the kind of thing a bank company would do with a building like that.

I just watched the latest stream. Awesome bank map. I have questions:

1. You mentioned the possibility of there being a mortgage loan officer at the bank, then joked that one might take pout a loan to build a SG base with. Is this the plan for how we register an AG and get a base, for realz? Would we go to the bank and talk to the loan officer to do that?

2. You mentioned that the stolen stuff in the vault would be usable as swag for the villains stealing it, if we make ourselves villains. Reserves, specifically, were mentioned. I would have assumed IGC or Augments and Refinements would be closer, in flavor, to what you might get as "loot" from robbing a bank. Did you consider that option and nix it for some reason, or what? I would think you want tot he tutorial to get into items and IGC somehow anyway.

3. Will the tutorial villains be coming in through the doors, or tunneling in through the floor? Or smashing in through the roof?

4. The log in screen asks for Email and password. Do you think it may confuse people into typing their email address and the password for that email account? Did you consider labeling the fields "Your email address" and "your _MWM_Account_ Password" instead?

5. The symbol on the class select screen are not equally spaced relative to each other. Also, and I know Doc is color blind, but several of the class symbols use the same or similar colors. Two fo them use blue and two use green. I would suggest in the final version using 6 very distinctly different colors. Maybe red, green, blue, purple, yellow and orange.

6. Will we be able to rotate the chest symbol around the center? Or flip it vertically, or left to right.

7. Did you and cabbit both pick the red cape by coincidence, or is the color selector not working for that yet?

Thanks for the demos, once again.

This is to help demonstrate to players how to slot their reserves. It's a bit more complicated than the classic drop, because you can pick which reserves you want active at any one moment. That means, however, you need a brief walkthrough in how to set them up.

This is interesting! Unless I missed something along the way, this is the first we've heard of slotting reserves.

It will eventually be full of various NPC's, yes. You'd be shocked how adding people fills a space.
But the size also has to do with the needs of a tutorial. As I said, at the end you get to pick your travel power, which means you'll need space within which to test it out.

Maybe slightly oversized for gaming purposes, but true to the spirit of 19th century banks showing off their wealth. It reminds me a bit of the Hockey Hall of Fame's Great Hall, which was originally Bank of Montreal's main Toronto branch.

One would wonder if you are Canadian with such an excellent photo. Or is it stock?

Always wanted to see a shopping mall done in pointed arch and stained glass windows (for advertising space, naturally) gothic architecture complete with flying buttresses and done in "modern" reinforced concrete materials structuring. Do it so you've got the usual "two levels" of shopping on the ground floor and a floor above, with all the "advertising" stained glass above that. Rather than doing a cross-shape (as is typical for cathedrals), do it as a square with extended corners, like this ...

[img]http://i.imgur.com/NFB0U8r.jpg[/img]

... so that there's room for up to 8 "anchor stores" on the ends of the lines and there can be a big outdoor central courtyard area in the "middle" of the mall building. You then just put the parking all the way around the city lot the building is in, for the typical "lake of parking" around a shopping mall.

I'm from Pittsburgh, which I'm told has been Slightly Canadian ever since, oh, around June of 1984. ???? I found that picture on Google Image Search, because the last time I was at the HHOF, my mobile phone had a camera best measured in kilopixels.

The Maul is slated for a post launch district. It is a converted factory done up in New England Gothic style, so will be pretty close to what you were imagining.

At our current rate, which districts are slated for launch? It seems to me I read a list somewhere but I can't find it.

Doctor Tyche wrote:

Kattexandria
Old Kattfort

The Maul is in Kattstown, the currently anticipated first post-launch district.

You read it here, Folks! Straight from Doctor Tyche himself!

*purrs loudly and proudly*

*MOL!*

With the bank raid, you said it would be a newpaper article at the end. Will the robbers for example if you go the "good" route be captured alive or would say taking the violent action leave them dead.

I'm wondering as my character would more than likely put hostiles down permanently after all leaving someone just unconscious still leaves them as a possible threat.

You don't need to leave a trail of dead bodies in your wake to be considered violent. Daredevil is violent, and he just punches people. Also, even in CoX you didn;t "kill" anyone, you "defeated" them.

Question, actually, for the good Dr: what are supergroups or hero/-ines, who have Mogul buildings in post-release districts, expected to do for Superbases until their zone is added? It could conceivably be months until they get their actual base.

With a spiked meat tenderizer mallet. Possibly after a bit of boiling.

The awesomeness of Twitch: "Oops! We encountered an unexpected error. Please try again."

So much for logging in and trying to use the chat.

I picked up the lat 10 minutes or so, weather, lightning, good looking map, statue booty. good looking stuff there.

Being highly radioactive, I think Radiac's lair should probably be underground, so I'd opt for sewer. I hope they can make my Mogul have an entrace to the underground lair too, though I just thought of that just now and didn;t mention it in the description of the building, which was mostly about the neon sign it has.

I'd be more worried if someone tried to install a 'beanstalk' style orbital elevator access. It's a 22000 mile piece of string dangling from the sky....

Imagine listening to elevator music for that long!

I'm more imagining all of the catgirls and flying cats glomming onto the string and trying to 'kill' it.

I swore we already said the base access method.
In each zone there will be "base plot" locations for rent, which are buildings, sewer entrances, etc, that determine your base's, well, plot size. We call them Apartment Spots. There is an entryway section, within which you will then find an entrance, which loads up an instance of your base when you enter them. So, a high-rise you'd enter through the elevator or roof, while a brownstone through the foyer, an orbiting space station you'd enter through the airport shuttle, sewer through a particular manhole, etc.

That doesn't really answer the question, or more accurately it only answers part of the question.

Let's extrapolate. I buy access to a base, and I get access to said base, via whatever cosmetic method I choose in game. Then I get my Mogul building, which I assume I don't have to pay to have access to in-game, because I've already paid out of game, and promised access to, so now I have an extra base, and I've wasted in-game currency.

Assuming, therefore, that I justifiably do not want to pay for something in game that I have already been promised, how then do I gain access to a Superbase prior to the Mogul building's zone being implemented?

Does anyone have a summary of the Aug 25 broadcast?
I didn't want to sit through an hour plus of puppy whining. Noticed ~10min of flappy birds at the end, was this relevant tot he project at all?

But when using the camera in the front of the phone, the image was reversed. In the first few seconds, note the wall behind him and his badge.

Yesterday's stream is up - where we showcase the making of the costume piece "Tachyon" - an aerodynamic helmet on the Female character. Also giving a sneak peek at the customization capabilities.
