Are they really called adult game centres and not casinos in the UK?

all depends on company really, varies really

ryan and lord doing ama on mmorpg forum

Danger Room comes before 2016. Red Raid if we feel heroes are ready, Cosmic Ultron same. Story chapter, yes, it will be coming with 2016 release!

Squirrel Girl. Good question. @GazLord? Why no cute squirrels?

Time. I would love to have unique squirrels for each but sometimes we just can't fit in the work. That being said, if there is a Squirrel that comes along that cant be ignored we will do our best to make time for it.

red axis

No, but really. When we feel that hero damage and survivability is closer. We're definitely much much closer than we were before. We know it's not going to be perfect, but we are getting to a point where it makes sense to release a new piece of very difficult group content without having to worry about 50% or more of the roster.

Are there any plans to rework the white 90's Storm costume? (dear god say yes!)

yes.

regarding magik

lord said

I think there might be some Demon-ing in there.

hardcore mode
1) There are plans, yes. I would go so far as to say it's just beyond the planning phase, even.

itemization/customization
2) Yes there will be. There is a new system that we were planning to launch with Danger Room, but we decided to hold it back so that we could expand on it even more. This system will allow you to customize your Uniques similar to StarkTech with Artifacts, but will have multiple slots and will have more than just +1 to a power. Certain types of uniques will be able to use different types of enhancements, for instance, Any Hero Uniques have more slots than Hero Specific Uniques so that you can take a favorite Any Hero Unique and add ranks to your best skills. There's more to the system than just power ranks, but that's an aspect I really like about it since it lets me have a use for all of those Any Hero Uniques in my S.T.A.S.H. More to come!

Ah cool, I was wondering if it might be like a color/colour language type difference.

Nice AMA. Getting kinda psyched for Blade actually.

generally i think most places called a casino have like black jack desks etc and other sorta things, we are literally machines only.

I think the best use of the raid content is to make 5-man versions that can be enjoyed by all. I think raiding is a good thing to have in a game in terms of creating challenging content that promotes group play, but I don't think using the content for only ten people is necessarily.

I think that going forward, making raids and then making 5-man group versions is the best bang for our buck, however we achieve that. It lets us make big, awesome sprawling content that's very aspirational, but it also lets anybody experience it. I don't have time to raid as much as I'd like to, so I'd use the 5-man version much more, personally. I know I'm not the only one.

I don't know why I find this so surprising, but I do.

The design focus of this game is literally all over the place. It's no wonder it takes so long to get anything done.

i think doomsaw was the main one who wanted raids to be fair, alot of things have been said recently by ryolnir who has taken doomsaw's job and i think is adding his own things

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
5 man raids would be THE best thing to happen to game in my opinion

Yeah I definitely think that's the case as well, but I think everybody toed the line in regards to the idea of being a raid-based ARPG back then. Even Brevik loved talking about that in interviews.

It's not a bad thing to change that mentality. It's just kind of hectic how often the design philosophy changes.

They definitely wanted to play up the raid in an ARPG angle. There isn't an encounter in the raids that can't be done mechanically with as little as even 3 players but the numbers are just too high. It should have been available in 5 man groups from the beginning.

Ah they said that? Makes sense, was hoping for the ANAD version but close enough. I assume the alt is Phoenix Five?

She will probably release with two alts. Classic + Phoenix Five, I think Dink said the Magik team ups will gain the hero costume's upgraded quality when the costumes are released so they will come sometime soon for sure.

Gawd this AMA is terrible.

Can you guys go over there and ask the super tough questions and not these baby questions?

I don't actually want to know what the answer to "When are Kaine and Agent Venom finally going to be playable in this game?" is, and I don't think I'm capable of asking anything else.

Are there any plans for a higher terminal difficulty?

Are relics, blessings and rune ever going to get reworked?

Can we hope for changes to how rerolling pet works? They are really annoying.

It's been discussed.

Yes, definitely. Sooner rather than later.

No plans right now, focusing on Costumes first.

the one question i wanted an answer to. i recommend keeping all your relics guys.

No, and it was supposed to be in testing back in August. Still nothing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it skips testing this weekend either.

Well one thing that delayed it after the faq was everyone pissed at lackluster rewards

So, I reinstalled to check out it how it will run on normal HD and it's suprisingly good :) And I even made cosmic trial with Gambit :p

BTW, how are those rare artifacts drops? Is it really noticeably better?

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I'm gonna have to try out ravemped spiderman. I got the black suit from the blender a while ago but at that point I already had him at 60 and had moved on. I hope I find a build that I like.
