New efforts!

I'll quote myself from earlier in the thread to help manage expectations.

It's probably not what you really want, but we still think it's pretty cool.

Half-Life 3 confirmed

Its not the mod we deserve, but the mod we need.

[Arcana]

Is it the long awaited Statesman/Recluse/Fusionette skins for HKO?

Would be hilarious if Codewalker announces he's figured out how to add a new hat to Icon.

[Surelle]

We've never pretended that we weren't doing some reverse engineering. Icon didn't just magically manage to hit the right bits of the client through throwing darts at a printout of the executable, after all.

Whether or not those efforts are in any way connected to secret projects that may or may not exist or whether or not it's all part of an epic trolling conspiracy... that I can't speak to. All I can say is that we're working on something. It's probably not what you really want (though it might be for some people), but we still think it's pretty cool.

Offline host (local LAN ability) for CoX?   

Yes, Codewalker & SCoRE, I'll bet you're that good or even better.

It's totally awesome that people with coding ability haven't given up on CoX in all this time (and neither have the CoT clan or APR).  It's amazing that people doing this around their lives and jobs and families have been much more dedicated and caring than the company entrusted with the IP.  I think our days of pinning our hopes on NCSoft in any fashion are at an end here, and I'm glad you others have always kept at it.

This. I'd be happy at this point to just be able to street sweep.
I've long given up on the game coming back in an "official" format... This would be, in my opinion, the first step to really getting it back.

Waffle resistance! I always said we already had enough defense for it...

[Graydar]

I still remain steadfast confident that we'll get City back.. sometime. Lord Recluse wouldn't leave his destined children, would he? Ok, he totally would - but we'll get it back anyways!

Nods* in agreement on both counts.

Amen to that!

Loved that +3% global defense proc

[LaughingAlex]

I'm steadfast our game will come back to.

[[Removed a shit-ton of crap about CO. ~Agge]]

[LaughingAlex]

On a far, far more positive note.  Today marks history as American Pharoah had won the triple crown today.

We have a CO subforum. Use it. Seriously. Please. Stop posting crap about CO here. Really. We get it. It's tiresome.

[Ohioknight]

the snakes and lizards aren't the problem. them gators cozyin' up to you in the middle of the night are the real issue...

OhioKnight, maybe you should move to Florida so exciting CoH news will happen more often. 

No Snakes, no Gators ... I like the little lizards.  On Siesta Key beach there isn't a heavy wildlife issue -- though I did get approached in the surf by a friendly Manatee who knew his/her own kindred.

As for projects, I would love an offline street sweeper, though I doubt that's the development being referenced.  I might dream about a playable mission builder/map populator.  It wouldn't be CoH with all the content, but it would be a magnificent way to leverage the community's efforts to get us even better versions of our home.  If not MMORPG, perhaps creations would at least be sharable by posting them in the wild -- like AE writ large.

I can dream of Atlas Park 333.

Kind of funny on DoTA 2 because Valve trolls the community by making techies say this:

they don't get the reference they are making do they?

belmont-stakes-american-pharoah

lets just say I wasn't expecting a horse race.

I see Dracula moved to the states and had a rebirth, I mean yeah, granted Wallachia is kinda small. Good thing the Belmonts followed him. Seems he's a bit tough though they staked him but he still got the triple crown (whatever new sorcery that is).

[Voltixdark]

I'll quote myself from earlier in the thread to help manage expectations.

I think I may know exactly or close to what it might be. It may not be what we really want which is Icon with powers activated or offline servers, but It may be what we all have been asking for since we first started using Icon; and that is saved instances of the game. No more of exiting the game and losing what we spawned. That would mean that we could finally populate all the maps with life and come back to still see it alive! I feel positive that is what it is, because I sure do know what everyone wants and that is to play on servers, have powers and fight enemy spawns. So I declare a prediction (you heard it from me first), Icon 1.8!!

That sounds quite plausible. Or maybe a usable SG base builder? Which would also require the ability to save instances. Obviously no combat since that would require a huge amount of work.

Oh man if it is a SG builder that would make me insanely stoked (more so than Fallout 4) I will burn so much time recreating bases.

I hope not.  What's the point of building a base that no one else can appreciate? :/
