No pressure on the devs, but...
All I want for Christmas is my C. O. T.
My C. O. T., see my C. O. T.
Gee, if I could only have my C. O. T.
Then I could wish you, Merry Christmas
I'm sure someone more creative than me can come up with a line about Sister Psyche shooting something that rhymes with thistle.

Still got 7 days before winter starts "officially" :)
So... Maybe we should compose a tune for them, to motivate and inspire their flame of work spirit!

Haven't been around here in quite a while. Any new info on a possible date this goes live. As an old CoH player I've been looking and waiting for something to come and not replace, but come close to CoH a game I STILL miss 6 years after it went away. Two days before it closed I downloaded all the toons from the SG, Sugar Coated Suicide, and what I could get of the old SG in hopes it would come back and I could use those "Old Friends" we'd all created, but that looks like it will never happen. Even still I find it almost impossible to wipe them away. All those toons, and their "Humans," seemed to grow to be "family" and just couldn't be thrown out.
Sardonicus, my very first toon, a blaster, sits patiently awaiting to be transformed into the equivalent toon I can build here.
If you mean a playable game you can buy online and play there is no date or expected date. The pre-alpha, beginning with a small group of original KS backers, is confirmed for this year.

There is, I think it's still around, Paragon Chat. It's not the full game but you can make your character and run around paragon city (no actual content unfortunately). They might have base building by now.

There are no [b]big[/b] updates, but still some tiny head ups too ensure that the crowd is still intact.
Maybe we're gonna see it next week. Or the week after :3

So long as we see it before the heat death of the universe. At that point even I'll be irate at the waiting. :P
I suspect they are burning multiple candles at both ends and spots in the middle to try to get Issue #0 out this year.
Since I work in software development I'm quite familiar with the defects that tend to come from rushing. I'd really prefer they get it right the first time even if it takes longer. That being said, all I want for Christmas is still my C. O. T.
"THE TITANS ARE COMING! THE TITANS ARE COMING!"
Well, I will admit that we have unconfirmed reports that the incidence rate of pyromania is substantially above normal within the developer ranks, so...
It is only when we stand up, with all our failings and sufferings, and try to support others rather than withdraw into ourselves, that we can fully live the life of community.

Just in case this doesnt find itself in an announcement before years end for those that don't follow the discord channel.
According to Discord :
"We've kept hoping we can recover. But in brief, mere days after the motherboard fiasco was fixed...it went poof. The whole thing
If we hadn't backed everything up right after getting the motherboard back...
Chargen charged on. But alpha? A fairly critical part of the deadline? Set back months
Things are back in motion. We're nowhere near as far from our goals as it looks. But we're not where we had every reason to think we could be by fall"
And
"No. I am talking about Issue 0 itself.
chargen is there. Everything else isn't"

Suddenly that thread about communication isn't so unreasonable.

I hate to say it but we have been all patiently waiting and it looks like any discussion was happening with absolutely no mention on their own forums. Updates matter.
Wait, is that from back when the motherboard died, or is that recent?
Spurn all ye kindle.
Yeah I can't tell if it's set back months from "Fall" or months from today.

No, that was posted in Discord today. Or, yesterday, depending on your time zone.

I figured since it was posted openly on Discord there should be no reason it couldn't be shared here for everyone else.
Compulsively clicking the refresh button until the next update.
Sounds like it could have been a lot worse.
Not 100% sure if it's saying that they are set back by months, or they could have been.
"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."
They also wrote that they are working on a proper announcement.

That's great. This is info they freely shared on a public forum so theres no reason it cant be shared here.
Compulsively clicking the refresh button until the next update.
Discord isn't that public at all.
Only 150 users are on that server, in comparison to the 28k on this forum, these aren't even 1% (~0.54%)
And we already had the discussion about official announcements and their legal processes they're going through. I'm pretty sure they will include a lot of more information in their proper announcement as they have written in that short statement.

I would agree if it were a closed forum, but it's not. Anyone can join. And it seems to be more active than these forums lately, in unique users online as well as posts. I could have made a new thread about it...but they are hopefully going to post an official update so I figured that wasnt necessary.
I am curious what post you are referring to where they listed the legal hurdles they have to go through to post an update?
Compulsively clicking the refresh button until the next update.
The Discord is more active because a lot of my contribution there are shitposts, trying to keep the server alive, for those living in different time zones. (I'm rank 1 shitposter there) We ask the devs occasionally about the game and they respond most of the times (sometimes the question gets lost in the discussion) But most of the time they are just talking about normal stuff and having fun. It's maybe because of that relaxed atmosphere, that they sometimes let something slip, but it's mostly just some lightweight stuff they can let out.
It wasn't them, but us people discussing about that. And I'm not sure if someone from MWM took part in it, as it was around 1 week ago. I think the "where can I download" thread.

That's fine...but I'm not sure if you are using that to justify the feeling that I shouldn't be posting things they say openly to fans from one site to another? If they didnt want us to know they wouldn't have told us.
Right. Fans talking. I highly doubt there is any legal tape holding them back from making an update.
Compulsively clicking the refresh button until the next update.
What I want to say is that the most questions they respond to are small ones, which are already answered before or the information is in the forum.
But that one, they just wanted to give us a short notice, so we wouldn't get too much worried.
Maybe someone needs to make it clear, I think it's not bad to say openly, that such statements should get an official update. (Their last one is really long time ago)
But sometimes they are already planning to do those things and discussing a lot, until the green light is lit.
Discord is unlike this forum pretty fast for writing and getting responses. It's easier to use and for such short notices it's more effective.
Like I previously stated, of course they could have done it better by doing an update about that, but it would still take maybe a day to get the 'OK' from the legal and the PR people and another to write everything neatly and without forgetting important details.
We don't know what they will write in that announcement, but I'm pretty sure that it will contain more than just this motherboard incident.

I'm not following you. We can share what they freely, publicly shared. I gave no opinion on it, I only shared what they shared so more could see it that dont use Discord. I would hope their next update would give more info but I didnt share this because I thought they weren't going to give us an update.

Oh I'm sorry. I misinterpret your post I guess. I thought it's some kind of impatient critique. Don't mind me then :)

No worries. I've given plenty of that in the past but this post was not one of them. Its news everyone is waiting for and they shared it so I did the same. No doubt their post on the subject will give more information, but everyone is anxious so I wanted to share with those on here that dont use Discord. At any rate, people will be looking forward to an official update over a re-share by a forumite.
Compulsively clicking the refresh button until the next update.
Thanks for being understanding :)
Yeah, we all are excited, even I'm getting a bit uneasy, but I'm trying to hold it off for now... It's really hard :p
What I hope for, that they will also do other updates, which are really demanded by people right now.

I'm definitely not comfortable taking words posted in discord over to the forums, in quote even. Discuss it in the discord!
Idk, I feel like Discord is a bit more intimate than these forums and deserves a bit of idk, privacy

I dont follow that line of thought. It's still a dev speaking to a bunch of fans. How can they not expect any information they provide there to be shared? It's not a closed group nor are there any guidelines set by the devs. Not sure that constitutes "intimate".
If it bothers them that I quoted a dev who gave info openly and freely then they can just delete my comments. I didnt post it with an opinion so I dont really care either way.
Compulsively clicking the refresh button until the next update.
I for one appreciate the info, DC. I've said before that we shouldn't have to scour multiple platforms for important information, so as far as I'm concerned you didn't do anything wrong but, rather, performed a public service. You could have even added your opinion and still been well within your rights.
Spurn all ye kindle.
Thanks, but I've said my peace as far as my opinion on this matter goes. It was meant, as you said, as a public service and nothing more. I look forward to any additional information in their next update.
Compulsively clicking the refresh button until the next update.
tbh I do not have a facebook account and I do not use Twitter and I am not a KS backer. I only look here on the forums for status updates. From what I have seen of Discord it really depends on how it is managed if you want it to be efficiently accessed. Otherwise you are scrolling through thousands of meme posts, idiocy and two person conversations. Discord seems to be more suited for (A) actually speaking to someone or (B) keeping current in the moment (last day or so) with whatever collection of people post in whatever individual room.
iirc the server incident happened back in October or early November? If it took a week or two to fix and then within days the motherboard had issues and between then and now they have steadfastly been repeating that Issue #0 will release in "Fall 2018" (aka before the end of the year), why are we just hearing about this now?
The frugality of this endeavor is partly to blame. When you purchase used equipment, you inherit their deficiencies and diminished lifespan. It is to be expected. The fact that they had everything riding on one server is the shocking thing, they should know better.

Is a bit concerning I'll admit.
Puny Heroes.
I believe the server incident happens twice.
Once in october with a 2 weeks waiting(if i remember correctly) to receive the mother board and have a working server and then another server issue with probably the same waiiting to replace the mother card.
The Fall 2018 annoucement was made early (september ?) but i don't think MWM thought they could go through a bigger delay than they anticipate (it's hard to plan complete and full releases from many services when people are volunteers and don't have to observe a deadline :/)

The earliest Fall 2018 announcement I could find was Dec 31, 2016 on Twitter...but to be fair that wasn't for Issue #0 , that was for game launch. The same tweet says chargen should be out 2017. Aug 4th, 2016 they were "closing on alpha".
Even in July of this year they tweeted backers would have the chargen pre-November.
Temper your timeline expectations.
