Okay this time I'm serious: They ARE nerfing witch hats. I'm sorry, but...I had to speak up.

 

Oh and I guess we're getting frying pan melee but whatever, they're nerfing the hats!!

But it's the only Melee set where all scrappers will take Confront , because you throw bacon at your enemies.... Though I hear it has a chance to taunt yourself when used

Wild guesses that are almost guaranteed to be wrong!  (a flashing digital clock is right once a day, a broken analog clock is right once a day, I get lucky about as often as monkey's type Shakespeare.  Its possible, but don't bet on it.)

 

Picture 1: hinting at a further revamp of Titan Weapons and adding a new cartoon style oversized swords

Picture 2: revamps to the fire zone event.  I would be really impressed if they pull that off

Picture 3: grey guy with mace - I have no idea.  War Mace revamp?

Picture 4: looks like a giant dead snorlox to me.  I'm sure there is a deeper meaning, I just don't know it.

Picture 5: X-Men fighting a Sentinel - updates to the Sentinel AT.  (An AT I really like that doesn't get a lot of respect but I've had great fun with.  But, man, don't run a Posi 2 with a bunch of them or your controllers won't be able to do much in the big final fight due to defenses against holds)

Picture 6: The Dark Crystal but animated.  I remember the original movie, I'm thinking there is a hint about nictus crystals here, and I want to say there was an earlier post about this update that had crystals in it.

Picture 7: Dr. Strange looking like he is losing it, again, ala the last Spiderman movie.  They already did a wonderful job revising the sorcery pool, so no guess here.

Picture 8: Non-Stick Pan Witches' Hat.  Serious purple theme in a lot of the pictures.

Noticed there is an update for the "Beta" tab on the HC Launcher and it has details of the bigger changes now! Just can't log on to either of the servers right now because they're undergoing "stability testing" first.

Just update my launcher.

I was involved in some of these, and even I can't figure out what Impervium means by some of them.

 

Someone else had to point out the hat in the pan's solution above, AND NOW I GET IT, AND I MADE THAT CHANGE MYSELF.

It's what I'm most thankful for in this patch 😃 (at least in my capacity as GM!)

Okay, I've been going through the thread again and again and ... I don't get it.  Please explain?

It's a WITCH hat... in a NON-STICK frying pan.

Maybe you're lucky enough that it's never happened to you, but there's a certain NPC escort in a TF who just LOVES getting stuck in geometry. There's a fix in this patch for that 😃

The note about it is awesome.

I suggest modifying the current position on sharing content under development.  Without committing to a schedule or making promises, how about trying to toss out a teaser every so many months?  Close comments, as this is not an invitation for suggestions. Just provide a disclaimer and tease some possible future updates, power sets, new mechanics, costume options.  Make no promises, but share your excitement once in awhile.  The silence dampens one’s spirit. 

[GM Impervium]

We just had a whole thread about this.

To whit: we don't even want to tease, because Real Life happened and development got stalled for 4 months as a result. Can you imagine if we said "Hey guys we're working on so-and-so" and several months later we have nothing to show for it? I feel like that would be worse.

Saying that we're working on things ultimately doesn't matter if the end result becomes undeliverable.

That said, we understand that people look forward to updates, and want to make sure that the game is still being worked on and supported. Heck, one of my favorite things to do in my role as a GM is putting out teasers and encouraging discussion!

But, we'll all have to wait a little while longer for that.

The only thing I didn't see addressed in that thread (unless I just missed it), is how to actually get into the closed beta itself to help test. Yes, I signed up for the Discord and absolutely want to help, but there's not much info past that about how we can actually get in and help test. As one person in the thread you posted mentioned, there's another set of forums to presumably sign up for, but being able to register for them is currently disabled.

 

I'm asking this for others who may be like me and want to help, since just the Discord doesn't get us into the actual closed beta so we can help. 🙂

 

Edit: Just gonna throw it out there that I did get this figured out on the Discord, though I didn't see it readily visible (or I'm just stupid, which is totally possible), but it might be worth noting for others who are interested in signing up.

I don't disagree that a thread explaining it all could be nice, but that's up to those running this whole thing.
