Totally rampant speculation

Submitted by fuzun on Tue, 02/28/2006 - 8:01pm.

I think things are starting to ramp up for Issue 7 hitting the test server. There is a new version of the Updater that was updated when I fired up my CoHTest setup.

‹ Patron Powers List is now up Sheesh... ›

Some more Issue 7 tidbits

Submitted by fuzun on Tue, 03/14/2006 - 3:22pm.

A few more Issue 7 tidbits from a short interview w/ Positron.

On Patron Powers:

Quote:
In Issue 7: Destiny Manifest, you gain the ability to choose one of four Arachnos Patrons, Ghost Widow, Black Scorpion, Captain Mako, or Scirocco. Each of those has a powerset suited to your Archetype, in theme with the Patron, so Scirocco will have a bunch of Mu Lightning powers, while Captain Mako has Coralax related abilities. Your choice here is a permanent part of your character, and unlocks content specific to that choice.

On the robots in Recluse's Victor PvP zone.

Quote:
Giant robots with Mastermind-style controls. I will leave you with that.

And note that a player on the boards dropped a hint he got from one of the devs: Kronos Titan. Wheee! Heavy Artillery!

Well, as I said in game the other day, I'm finding Brutes to be as worthless as Tankers. That probably won't keep me from trying the new powers out though.

Teaming the other day, I kept getting killed because Brutes have 0 defense. I never could get my rage bar over a tiny sliver and it goes away so fast anyway. Meh and MEH again I say. They also share the Tanker's problem with lack of END until they pick up Stamina.

Also, there seems to be a drop of about 40 points of IQ between the average CoV player and one playing a Brute. I've noticed that Brutes tend to get groups wiped constantly because they insist on rushing into any room full of villians.

The only melee I'll bother with until defenses are buffed is my Stalker.

I've seen the Gamespot

Submitted by fuzun on Thu, 03/02/2006 - 6:17pm.

I've seen the Gamespot video. It certainly looks interesting. Electric Melee (if that is what it is) looks like it's going be very different. I saw a ranged attack, a non-nuke PBAoE and a Blaster Nova type Nuke.

A Brute with a Nuke is certainly going to be very...interesting in play. Imagine the damage a capped Brute will do with a Nuke. Jawdropping!

Well Awry or CuppaJo had said last week that the next bit of info on I7 would be released tomorrow, but there's been nothing added to the Press FTP site yet. I've been checking a few times each day.
