I14 Mission Architect details

More CoH news, they’ve announced more details on the new Mission Architect Feature

On the official website

On the Official Boards

and on Massively

On the Yay-side

  • full XP for all missions (they were thinking about only have partial XP)
  • Full Character costumes (I wonder, can you save your characters constume to disk as a template and import it into the MA creator ?)

On the Boo-side

  • Ticket drops – rather than random enhnacement drops you get tickets that you can cash in at a “Ticket Vendor”

More complexity, now we have Vangard Merits, Merits and Wentworths to which we now add this ticketting system. They did a good job collapsing down the complex salvage system, only to re-invent more complexity with the proliferation of Merits/Tickets.

I predict a merger by I16 at the lastest.

As to MA itself, I might play with it, as I think I’ve seen pointed out somewhere else, we are going to see quite a lot of “XXX-MyToon-XXX” origin missions.

These would be fun within a SG, but not sure what the wider audience would be.

Still, as I’ve never really done Base Architect, this might be a fun way to “pay back” into the wider community.
