I looked over the forums quickly and didn't see any reference to it, so figured I'd let everyone know if they didn't.  Here's hoping for some good news.

I smell *some* sort of announcement...probably preliminary and with a lot of maybes or unanswered questions.  Lord I am *so* excited and nervous at the same time.  Is there a chance in hell of getting twitch to play on a droid phone?  What server do we want to meet on tonight because I at least need/want a community gathering/gamming session...no matter what tomarrow brings...we are a family, a community...we are heroes.

Please, please, please be good news

Wasn't there a TwitchTV stream last Wednesday, too? (I was at Yom Kippur services, so I don't know for sure.  :) ) Why would tomorrow's necessarily be special?

There was one last week, yes, and included Posi... er, Matt Miller.   :roll:

From what I could tell from a 140 character Tweet... nothing special.

"We will stream live on @TwitchTV this Wednesday at 10:30AM PDT. Questions? Let me know now so I can work on the answers. #cityofheroes"

That was the tweet.

For a Droid phone... try either downloading the Twitch app (it's free, but no chat, boo) or I can sometimes get it.

Last week I had chat but no video.  Kind of hit or miss.

If he answers my question about the Freedom Phalanx baseball team and who would play what position, someone please capture the data just for grins!  :D

The stream is to start when the downtime maintenance is scheduled to end.

If they did something like I'd be able to round up the Goons, Jerks and others.

Do you know how many Kronos that calls for?

Hell, the Roach Motel's just a solo base... I'd be happy to break it down, pocket the Prestige and rebuild later (after washing off the Goo of a dozen dead Hamidons, of course)...

Yep, it looks like we will be getting the "Turn out the lights, the party's over" talk.  I was hopeful that something could be done, but that annoucement looks like nothing could be worked out.

This is an "official" PR statement from NCsoft. That it was funneled through Hit_Streak, well... he's the working community manager.

I'm waiting to hear from TonyV, Brian, or VV, before I move an inch from the "Come git some" stance I've had since they announced this. Fight on, keep flying!

Let's wait for the announcement. If you must brace yourself for the worst, do so, but don't give up completely. If nothing else, we can hope for more details as to what caused the breakdown, and attempt to provide solutions.

I knew it'd be bad news when I woke up this morning and kicked myself for not realizing it last night.  But if I gave up every time I got bad news, I wouldn't be here (on this board, or anywhere, really).  I hope Mr. Clayton reveals some details about the negotiation to quash some of the wilder theories I've seen out there and enable us to better plan our next move.

I can't even see the chat, everytime I log in the chat disappears and won't even let me type in the bar.  Guess I should be glad I can't see it, though the chance to tell them to cool it off would be nice.

They're doing a good job of censoring now, but people were talking about missiles & other stuff.  It was nasty.

I still hold out hope that we can keep CoH alive.

The worst thing I heard mentioned was a Warburg missile.

There were some fairly racist things, at one point he gave someone a time out or something (I missed the comment, though).

I just left the stream, there was nothing left to say so I thanked him for coming on to do it and left.  I do appreciate him attempting to continue on with these community talks, it's not his fault there really is nothing new coming for CoH until NCSoft come to their senses.

For the sake of the community: please stop the cultural "research" in your attempt to put blame on the game's cancelation.

It's sickening to see the community sink that low. It's worse to see the community does not get it.

I'm signing off and taking a break, blindly hope things change.

The person asked Hit Streak to show a private part of his anatomy.
I got the impression NCSoft wanted him to reiterate their position.

'Deciding to spend time with family' is code for 'I got my ass kicked out' in most business and employment situations.

It also can be code for "I was not able to take the bs anymore and quit."

Ah yes, I suppose that's true as well.  Either way, I doubt Zwill left on very good terms with NCsoft.

Well, with regard to missiles...

The fact is that NCSoft is a South Korean company, and military pressure of the United States government (or even threatening withdrawl, since S. Korea is genuinely threatened by N. Korea) would offer an extralegal way to keep CoH running. It's a threat, basically, a legal way of saying "you kill our game, we kill you." It need to have anything to do with racism.

That said, I don't think we should be advocating bloodshed unless it's either obviously in jest (and maybe not even then, although I admit that I myself am guilty here), or if we really do mean it...

One important thing to take away from this stream is this - Hit Streak mentioned that NCsoft actually has a team running to comb through all the emails and packages that are arriving and relaying information to the upper echelons. Which only means to keep up the influx - it may very well be the main way they're gauging our strength and persistence.

Spot on, Yet another reason to pursue the effort. Believe it or not, we forced them out of their silence in an attempt to protect their corporate image. (all the "Sorry, we tried really hard and we love you very much" talk....). Because all in all, we are exposing them for what they are: corporation greed at its best and in the gaming industry which heavily relies on marketing: this is NOT a good thing to go around with a huge name tag that says "GAME KILLER".

So, keep writing, making noise, posting, use and abuse the #savecoh hashtag... and keep the spirits up: it is not over yet !

Yea, I guess you have to go thorugh it to understand it. I been there too. Although, in my case, I held my tongue for a bit, was lucky I found a job within 3 days of posting my resume and quit without having to take the BS or sign stupid NDAs.

I agree with the above thoughts that Zwill was possibly not fired, but left on his own because he couldn't take the BS any more and being forced to not tell us the truth. Not lying - I don't think he ever lied - but forced not to say anything on the most important things the community needs answers to. I can totally believe the inability to keep shoveling NCSoft's bullshit.

Hitstreak was also very uncomfortable. I think he's a puppet as well and is not liking it not one damn bit.

I watched the feed but left after about 15 minutes in when it was obvious that nothing substantial could be or would ever be said.

And I won't be watching any more of these if they ever have them. When all they are is variations on "No comment. I can't say anything about that. I have no information on that. And even if I did - no comment."

There's really no point in even having these video talks anymore or watching them.

The "coffee talks" are officially dead.

I've got something a bit less high-minded than most of the other posts here.

I asked a question about ramping-up the Rikti Invasion during the final week to Apocolyptic levels so we could have a psudo-ending to the Paragon Story and he JUST started to answer it when my 4 month-old grand-daughter picked THAT moment to wake-up from her nap crying. By the time we were done with diaper and feeding the chat log couldn't even be scolled back to see the reaction to whatever he said. Anyone remember what the response to this question was?

It was basically 'yes, the Rikti are going to be the last event.' but nothing about a different event then normal..

I'm furious at the way NCsoft is using Hitstreak. He's a good guy, and they're using him as a shill because they can't handle the heat. And they're not even giving him anything to help the players with.

I like a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but I don't think NCSoft had anything to do with Hit Streak resuming the Coffee Talks. There was a thread last week on the official forums where people were saying how much they missed the chats, and HS jumped on to do one for old time's sake. By the end of that one, he was saying he'd try to keep them going for the duration. No ulterior motives required. (If anything, I'd expect NCSoft to NOT want him holding the chats, since that's just another venue for us to air our grievances against them).

I wouldn't call that a conspiracy theory, just a theory.  Hitstreak, and other devs, have shown their appreciation for us time and time again.  They have an obvious reason to want to do the chats, and NCsoft has a pretty good reason not to want them.  I mean, they haven't exactly valued communication too dearly since the announcement....

FYI guys, I had yesterday's stream scheduled before I was even made aware of the PR. The stream is my own doing. I'm not under direct order from NCSOFT to do these.

And for those who missed today's stream, go here: http://www.twitch.tv/paragonstudios

Quick note, as a couple of people in the game mentioned they can't see the TwitchTV videos, I took the liberty of uploading the stream to https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33551029/paragonstudios_City_of_Heroes_Freedom_on_live_user_paragonstudios_1349285364.flv

Use that as a last resort, though, I don't know how much Dropbox traffic I have left.

6 hour maintenance before it - interesting

I noticed higher than normal lag today. Is it possible they terminated some of the bandwidth/server resources that were allocated to us ?

Economically, that would make sense.  And a six hour downtime is definitely suspicious given they didn't release an issue or anything (as if they would).

Being said, it still pisses me off.

Hi Hit Streak, thank you for taking the time to talk to us yesterday. Even if there isn't a whole lot that can be said, it's still nice to hear how things are going on the Paragon Studios side. Listening to everyone talk about favorite games and CoH memories never gets old either!

Thanks to you, your wife, and Posi for recommendations for things to do in San Jose for someone that might be moving there soon as well, Falafel Drive-In and the monopoly board will be on my list :)
