I'm down for any of that. But it will take time, and likely won't happen until NW is live and stable.

This actually isn't true. PE is actually rather small, but they do a good job of tricking people into thinking it's much larger than it really is.

Also, 2 additional things from NW i'd like to see in STO (at some point);

- More proper sized interiors (corridors SHOULD be cramped, doors should be roughly 2 meter tall)
- Better map transitions

I just want to see instant execution of powers in STO like you have in NW.

Instead, in STO, you hit a button to use Emergency Power to Shields, for example, and the UI writes down your request on a piece of paper, sticks it in an envelope, slaps a stamp on it and mails it off to the Cryptic server to make sure its ok. Then, when it receives a response in 6-8 weeks time, it properly executes your power. Execept it generally fails to do so, because by the time it gets the OK from the server, you're either dead or have mashed about fifteen other buttons and have confused the entire process.

Perfect World is Chinese fantasy. Which I think is a point in its favor.

Pity it quickly becomes a grind slog just to level.

And when the inevitable question about the fanged taco comes up, just explain it as "that means the graph is awesome."

I see. That makes a lot of sense. I kind of figured on that sort of thing anyway. I still hope we can see those kind of things in STO, they would be really awesome.

That is one of the things that makes me really unhappy about STO. The space filling paths in this game are really obvious, and rather obnoxious (Cure Ground, I'm looking at you!). I'm glad that New Romulus is better at that sort of thing, but we even saw it a bit in Temporal Ambassador. I guess that's why I like vertical maps so much.

Personally, I'd like to see/hope that it means they can bounce a little more folks working on STO and Champs and their other titles out alongside NW.

That and foundry goodies from NW after it is out. Delicious Delicious Foundry Goodies. After all, when you can say you spent two years beta testing a system you'd like to see the results of those tests and feedback.

I'm looking at you subscribe to author button.

Ah yes, good old UI lag.

And the transition to STO and CO becoming end of life for NWN and other PWE titles.

So they can also rob me of my last retro Gorn costume.

But we need more of that sort of thing!
