Statesman Sez...

Questions and Answers that I thought were noteworthy from the forums...

***

Q: Given the move towards a more dynamic medium of PvP interaction and gameplay with the advent of City of Villains, are there any plans within the Dev Team to revise the current 3-strikes-and-out Respec system?

A: I’d like to attach a respec as a reward for completing a high level Task Force (say, one of the Shadow Shard ones). Players thus can earn endless respecs…

***

Q: Changing the Assault Rifle appearance by choice?

A: We want to create a “signature weapon” feature that will allow players to select a weapon from a host of possibilities. I’d like to get that into place within the year.

***

Q: When will you actually start adding real new powersets and things worthwhile?

A: Hmmm. A loaded question. We just added Archery and Sonics for heroes; there a number of new sets for villains. We’ll continue to add more stuff in the future: Thugs (for Masterminds), Shields (Tankers and Scrappers), etc.

Q: Will we be seeing solo lairs or bases in the near future? For private practical use. Instead of being dependant on others to build an SG base?

A: It’s likely you’ll see this soon. I’m not sure that private hideouts will ever have the same level of game functionality as Super Group bases, but they will at least be decorative.

Q: I have read in an old Statesman thread that you were envisaging implementation of a drop unwanted mission function. Is this still in the cards and can you say anything about expected timing of this?

A: Not I7, but in an Issue soon after.

Those were the little bits that interested me at least.
