  • Champions Online VIP Interview - Cryptic Bucks, PvP Update, and More
    You asked your Champions Online questions, and we got you your Champions Online answers straight from the mouth of Bill Roper! It’s been awhile since we ran our last VIP interview, so we thought it’d be good to start back up with some question on the upcoming super hero MMO. You definitely had some tough questions, but Bill was game enough to answer them all. We cover everything from new player experiences to player housing to PvP content, and our Premium Members get the first crack at the answers. Everyone else can either sign up to be a Premium Member or wait until Monday, July 13th, when the content becomes available for the general public.
    Ten Ton Hammer: Can you change your alignment? (cause sometimes heroes have midlife crisis too) At launch can we expect more than just Good/Bad/Neutral alignments? (ZeroMerc) Roper: There isn’t really such a thing as “alignment” in Champions Online. There isn’t that sort of component in the game, so players can really be anything that they want to be. That said players are creating heroes and heroic characters, and that was one of the biggest pieces of feedback we’ve been receiving from beta testers, that players wanted to feel more heroic. Like they were doing something that was important. And that’s what we’re striving to give them.

Players have a number of questions about Aion PvP, and Aion Producer Brian Knox was at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 to clear things up and reveal a little more about Aion's endgame.

  • Aion Class Interview - The Sorcerer

    If you have been anxiously awaiting our next class interview from Aion, the wait is now over. This week we have our class interview for the Sorcerer with Associate Produer, Lani Blazier. Lani was kind enough to tell us all about the sorceress and what makes this class such a deadly force on the battlefield.

    The Sorcerer’s main role is as a damage dealer, specifically as ranged magic dps. Sorcerers have numerous ranged attack skills, including AoE attacks that can attack multiple opponents. The additional role that a Sorcerer has is as a mesmerizer (for crowd control). Mesmerizing skills allow a Sorcerer to take on groups of linked creatures one by one. The Sorcerer is invaluable in difficult party quests or for infiltrating regions that are crawling with groups of monsters because of its mesmerizing skills.

  • DC Universe Online Hands-On PvP Preview from Comic-Con
    Super hero MMOs are a tricky business. Unlike their fantasy brethren, the realm of super heroes is often very black and white: the good guys are very good and the bad guys are very bad. For comic book MMOs, finding that PvP sweet spot is an absolute priority. While I was attending San Diego’s Comic-Con International ’09, Ten Ton Hammer's Cody "Micajah" Bye had the chance to take a swing at Sony Online Entertainment’s player versus player encounters in their upcoming super hero online game known as DC Universe Online.
    Another notable aspect of this year’s Comic-Con was the fact that the DCUO PvP battle was being fought on both PCs and PS3s, making DC Universe the first MMO to successfully integrate an MMO experience into a next-gen console. While Yanagi still couldn’t confirm whether we would see PS3s and PC users being able to share the same world at launch, the fact that the demonstration at Comic-Con was achieving that type of gameplay showed that the potential will certainly be there.

  • City of Heroes: Power Spectrum and Going Rogue Interview from Comic-Con '09
    If there’s ever a place to talk about super hero themed MMOs, the San Diego Comic-Con would be it. The biggest and brightest of all the “comic book” shows, Comic-Con mixes the geek with the strange with the celebrity, blends it together, and shoots out pure awesome. It was at this star-studded event that Ten Ton Hammer sat down with City of Heroes developers Matt Miller and Joe Morrissey to talk about Issue 16: Power Spectrum and their upcoming expansion, City of Heroes: Going Rogue.
    Ten Ton Hammer: Is the Mission Architect still popular among the players? Joe: I think so. Right now there are over 50,000 arcs up on our server. It has definitely leveled off since the beginning, because at some point everyone has made their quota of arcs, since there are only three slots per account. Everyone's pretty much filled up their slots. We've also opened up the microtransaction portion of this as well, since players can now go in and purchase up to five slots in the architect system for a total of eight.

I think the bunny should be British, occasionally wear a monocle, and pester both Goob AND Begud.

Absolutely delicious and oh oh oh so appropriate. For those of you haters, you can direct your mail to me at cody@tentonhammer.com because this was absolutely priceless.

I may go so far as to hang this on a wall somewhere, Coyote. Mr. Hoskin also sends his "GOLD" certification.

I rate this column Five Out of Five Hammers - with a whole lot of AWESOMESAUCE dumped on top.

*waves* What's up man?

Bet you didn't think I'd find it this fast, eh? And I did. My name is a source of constant mockery, and you do it better than most. :)

And - by the way - I'm not keeping Coyote down. I can feel all those orbital death lasers pointed at my skull, so don't go pressing the "FIRE!" button, because it's not me messing with the boobies.

I *hugs* da boobies.

I bet Radar is going nuts.

"Coyote, what are you doing!?"

Here's a topic, Coyote. Write an entire column in a Dr. Seuss style, preferably using my name. That'd make me soil my pants....which would be funny in its own right. I'd take pics, just for you.
