City of Heroes - All the World's a Stage (Issue 14 Teaser)

[efelzenaar]

Great trailer... Working on yet another MA arc now myself. @elizabeth bathory. Can't wait for more space in I17

[samuraiko]

@efelzenaar More space, more maps, and 'escort to object' options... I will SOO be revamping my arcs when I-17 goes live...

[fdythunre]

Lol!! You make it look better than it really is. If only we could design our own maps and put enemies where we wanted. Oh well.

Great vid!!

[samuraiko]

Custom enemy placement would be nice... map design though could be easily abused. In future, though, who knows? And thanks!

[xaviorist]

@samuraiko Enemy Placement will probably never happen as it would be too easily used for farms.

[samuraiko]

@xaviorist I know... leave it to the farmers to ruin things for the rest of us. :)

[lloydlloyd3]

uh woops i mean after issue 8 was announced not beforelol

[samuraiko]

It's okay - I came in right around the end of Issue 9, launch of Issue 10.

[lloydlloyd3]

i started before issue 8 was announced

[TheAquaKing]

Nice vid.

[samuraiko]

Thank you.

[callac]

DR. Aeon has defeated all heroes and villains installing the MA, the most deadly plan: every day more and more heroes get dumb with the convenience of the tool.

[flaser521]

That was the best coh video i seen in years. I really need to make a video with my toon

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much! Do check out my other COH videos as well... :)

[flaser521]

hehe sorry to bother you but i i just made a video and i lost lol. how do you post a comment like you did. because i am doing my best to wright back to a girl that said something but i want others to see it to. P.s. what server do you play? Maybe we can team so time :}

[samuraiko]

When they post a comment to your video, just log into your account, go to the comments page for that video, and click REPLY, then post. I play primarily on Justice and Triumph when I have time, which is fairly rare these days. :(

[xCommanderGX]

Nice video! What software did you use to make this video?

[samuraiko]

Thanks! I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio for all of my videos.

[RydWolf]

Those story titles mentioned in the background, were they actual arcs during beta or just what you thought sounded good?

[samuraiko]

Neither - with the exception of the last two (which are the titles of the first and most recent issues for the game), these are all arcs that I have created and just am hoping that one or more of my current stories gets Dev's Choice so I can continue to post them. 'Dyne of the Times' is available to play through the MA, my other two slots are used on stories I came up with during the beta whose titles do not appear in this video.

[puppetsarenottoys]

Brillaint editing!

You going to be doing a trailler for i15?

[samuraiko]

Thank you! But sorry to disappoint you, I will not be doing a teaser or a trailer for I-15.

[jamster48]

trial accounts cant make a arc can they? plz reply

[samuraiko]

No they can't. For more info, please refer to the COH site or forums.

[Matuszok]

Damn! How you're doing this? XD Great video man!

See you in Paragon! ;]

[samuraiko]

Lots and lots of practice. And check out my six-part YouTube series on 'Making Movies in CITY OF HEROES.' :) Thanks!

[BEARHUG08]

So are you going to make video about the new Magic Booster Pack?

[samuraiko]

Nope - not quite enough there to warrant one of my videos, although it is damn cool.

[brotherL89]

Dude I said it before and now im saying it again :D Fantastic job!

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much! New video up in two weeks, stay tuned!

[AnarchyUK1991]

Hah i love this new issue, i got a 1-50 in two days, i didnt even play a great deal either! Too bad it got nerfed... damn rp'ers!

joke :P Great trailer! i look forward to your next peace of work, peace xx

[samuraiko]

I'm glad you like the issue, and that you like my work! Stay tuned!

[TwistedBack66]

'Love the background song. When can we expect a full trailer ? :)

[samuraiko]

Sorry, the fans are not getting a full trailer for I-14. Instead, you will be getting a fifth anniversary commemorative trailer for the game. :)

[Suzuhira1987]

soo must want :D *drool* PS ownage, is tis a fan made?

[samuraiko]

Yes this is fan-made, and yes, I-14 is now live and the Architect Edition boxset is now available for purchase. :)

[ClarkSavageJr]

Super...effing...sweet.

[samuraiko]

Thank you.

[marbb1]

I think i14 is going to be good but there will be so many bad points to this i can already see...But there will be alot of good things and we have to wait and see if the good overpowers the bad or if the bad overpowers the good....

And Thats the best i14 teaser i ever seen lol good job

[samuraiko]

Of course, it helps that this is the ONLY I-14 teaser out right now. :)

[Tamerin213]

hay sam hows to download the mission creator

[samuraiko]

You don't download it - missions are created in-game at any of the AE buildings (which will appear whenever I-14 goes live), or when you get the Mission Engineer accolade.

[Tamerin213]

lol thnx i figured that out

[lukev7]

I'm SOOO excited for this

great vid btw

[samuraiko]

Thank you!

[KaitoMiki]

the issue 14 is near to be live server DOWNLOAD PATCH NOW!

[samuraiko]

Yes, I know. NCNC made the announcement a couple of days ago on their website and their forums.

[flyer1225]

how could u download the patch?

[samuraiko]

Simply start up the live server as you usually do - it will download the necessary files, even if they're not made active right away.

[catsi563]

=^_^= has the catsi told you how aesome you are michelle?

Well he has now *gives kitty thumbs up of approval*

b-=^_^=-d

[samuraiko]

No, the cats has not. But thank you!

[DavidM2]

As always, excellent work, Michelle, and it has been added to the Chronicles.

[samuraiko]

Much obliged, thank you!

[mecampbellesq]

Okay, that formally gave me the shivers....

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much, always a good response to get!

[4AdtA5]

As soon as I saw that Banished Spirit of Death, I thought oooh! Earning Banisher! but then I remembered they already said no defeat badges earned through custom missions.... rats! Anyway, great job!!

[samuraiko]

Yep, I know, but the MA should have all new badges of its own to earn! And thanks! :)

[blackcatriko]

they say I-14 is coming out in the fall/winter of 2009 but i hope it come out sooner because with this city of heroes/villains will be better than ever with the missions that will be made now

[samuraiko]

Considering it's in closed beta right now, safe bet is I-14 will go live either late March or early April.

[JoshQuest1]

actually i heard that it was coming quarter 1 doesn't that mean March (if not early April like what the talented samuraiko said)

[JoshQuest1]

ok my theory is that the open beta will be released on the 17th of march and will be released on the live servers on the 14th of april

(i have a explanation but i will only explain it if someone asks me to)

[samuraiko]

Betas are usually on Fridays, releases on Tuesdays. Note the word USUALLY.

[JoshQuest1]

OH I AM GOOD OPEN BETA MARCH 17th

[samuraiko]

(imitating the Grandfather in THE PRINCESS BRIDE) Yes, you're very smart. Shut up. :D

[JoshQuest1]

ok but still you were right about the release on tuesday

[UndeadJoker00]

This looks awesome!

Nullum-Freedom Server

[samuraiko]

Thank you.

[Lovick001]

Well shoot. If this is as awesome as you made it look, I'm gonna have to acctually log in...

[samuraiko]

We'll find out soon enough!

[jugglerjohn]

Just awesome babe, great music .keep up the good work.

Gobi-justice server

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much!

[TheKerbster]

This will be great. PvP died and nothing else interests me to get to 50 so now I can just play my 50s on people's architect content >:D, props for anyone who can top the Viridian arc

[RyanAndersonUGM]

Samuraiko, how did you do the white screen at the beginning? Does COH have an in-game white room, or a model viewer now? Thanks.

[samuraiko]

Nope, that was thanks to the judicious use of Leandro's Splasher Program. :D

[DEATHSPACE2]

samuraiko can you tell me where i start making missions using architect and stuff? i cant figure out where i go to make missions and stuff

[samuraiko]

You don't until I-14 goes live. And no, I don't know when that will be.

[tribalflames12]

u should be the one making the trailers for them ;)

[samuraiko]

Thank you - I keep applying, they keep saying no.

[KingCrazy9]

Well then they don't know what they're missing, because you make sweet videos! Nice job! :D

[samuraiko]

They do know, they just keep saying no. But thank you anyway!

[CoHNeuronia]

Samuraiko, are you in Beta yet?

Not that I could reveal if I were or that you could do the same, but updated videos would be sweet. :)

[samuraiko]

I couldn't tell you if I were... however, as with all my teasers, I intend to do a full trailer once I-14 goes into open beta.

[cogbuster3]

All the names you came up with for your story arcs are great, when it goes live I am going to have to find you in-game and play through some of them.

[samuraiko]

Thank you, and please do!

[nikiosko]

nice nice and nice ur viedeos r great!

[samuraiko]

Thanks, thanks, and thanks!

[CrackHamsters]

lol nice

COH FTW!!

[samuraiko]

Thanks! :D

[AkuTenshiiZero]

Loving the evil laugh, hehehe...

Oh man, I am gonna unleash some serious hell in I14.

[samuraiko]

The evil laugh was a last minute inspiration... :)

[jerryfos785]

Yet another great video from samuraiko

good job :-)

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much!

[dojihajime]

*falls to his knees and Worships the then very ground Samuraiko is walking on.*

You should always do their videos NCSoft should Hire you to do promo videos.

[samuraiko]

Maybe I should get a petition started...

[dojihajime]

Yes! We Should!

[samuraiko]

I can't, but if you guys want to, by all means. :)

[ndchasowy]

Great job yet again, samuraiko!

[samuraiko]

Thanks very much!

[Kastila]

Popping over from the EU CoX forums (again), amazing work (again), and NC should just hire you already!

PS love the TCoSR story in the US Forums, there's linkage to it from the EU ones, but we can't comment directly ^-^

[samuraiko]

Hello again, glad you like my work, don't I wish they'd hire me, and I'm glad you're liking the story! :)

[xtoturnwithinx]

Wow. Breathtaking work!

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much!

[snorii]

Awesome job, Samuraiko.

[samuraiko]

Thanks, snorii. :)

[illiado]

The background text, what do they say? Are they names of Story Arcs?

[samuraiko]

The text you see in the background is the list of story arcs that I and/or my husband have begun work on for the Mission Architect of Issue 14.

[eastpaw]

Awesome stuff, Michelle!

[samuraiko]

Thank you! :)

[DEATHSPACE2]

can you make a video about the rikti vanguard costume pieces and stuff like that? a video showing the costume pieces and stuff like that

[samuraiko]

Can I? Yes. Will I? Probably not, there are too many other videos I want to make.

[philmatthewsnm]

Awesome as always. I assume the part where the character is holding a blueprint plans is a subsitution of an NPC model and not some emote I don't know about, right? :D

[samuraiko]

Nope - that's my character doing the MOV READ_BLUEPRINTS_LOOP command thanks to the joys of demoediting. You can't do it in-game, but you can do it in a demofile. See my 6-video series Making Movies in City of Heroes for more info.

[toval76]

Awesome as always. Greetings from germany!

[samuraiko]

Danke!

[misterlynch]

Great video, as always!

My only wish is that NCNC would've given you little flashes of visual info to use. Too little makes the teasing too much for our little hearts! Sad faces...

But what you did was still worth it

[samuraiko]

I try, man, I try.  :)

[CoXSupaNerd]

I gotta agree with TalynDerre here. I wish I had your video making abilities. NCSoft/City of Heroes should offer you a job doing this if they haven't already.

Keep up the killer job!

PEACE!

[samuraiko]

Nope they haven't, although not for lack of me trying. In the meantime, I intend to keep making videos for the player base to enjoy! :)

[TalynDerre]

Michelle, you are unstoppable! I can't even put into words how awesome this video is, and how psyched for I14 I am!

[samuraiko]

Thank you, and it is awesome knowing you are back in the game. You have been sorely missed!

[xpo147]

The quote in the beginning was cool, but i had to go back several times to read it. if you could leave it up longer, it'd be nice. otherwise, a great video!

[samuraiko]

I know it goes by quickly, but I wanted to time it to the music while still making sure to acknowledge NCsoft and give a title to the video. If I do another version, though, I'll make it longer!

[Frogmjf]

yet again... you never disappoint! Thanks again!

[samuraiko]

Thank you. :)

[andyt1313]

I'm curious smuraiko. Is this footage completely out of your imagination or does ncsoft give you some footage to work with for your teasers? They're always right on target even though beta isn't out yet. Do you have a mole inside, hehe.

[samuraiko]

Nope, it's all out of my imagination. NCNC never tells me anything - all my ideas come from general announcements or discussions on the forums and so on. Only once did they make a suggestion, and that was during Issue 12. Since their trailer focused on the Midnight Squad, Hero 1 said I might focus on Cimerora. I did, and to great effect, I think. :D

[superscrubninja]

sweet! honestly, i wasn't hype about i14 until this video. good job!

[samuraiko]

Then my video did what I wanted it to do! Thanks!

[ClarkSavageJr]

Well that was amazing as usual. Thanks again!

[samuraiko]

Thank you!

[DEATHSPACE2]

the rikti are back and i witness'ed and took down a few of em. it started on triumph server in cap au diable. did you face the rikti?

[samuraiko]

I face the Rikti almost everywhere.

[DEATHSPACE2]

the invasion force is back. and i think this time they might win.

[samuraiko]

Not a chance.

[odojang]

Nope, not even the shadow of a chance. See my own next video on the matter...

But that is not why I want to comment here: again I want to praise your talent and expertise in making yet another masterpiece. You are my Muse. Keept it up!

[samuraiko]

Never been someone's muse before... thank you!

[odojang]

Btw, you you already know me (sort of) as Veloce on the (late great) CoH Gameamp website, the one that stated you inspired him to try his hand at this with your awesome work ;-)

[odojang]

Oh, and this in the first place was also a reply to Deathspace2 about 2 weeks ago adressing the eventual victory of the Rikti...

[lena4lover]

Fantastic video cant wait for i14 now

[samuraiko]

Then my video did its job...

[SkarmoryThePG]

Love it. Absolutely love it. Especially the blueprint effect.

Here's to hoping MA will have a "favourite author" option.

[samuraiko]

Thanks! :D

[andyt1313]

Well done, as usual =D. Very eager to see the full announcement video. They should put you on payroll, hehe.

[samuraiko]

I keep applying, they keep saying no. But thank you for the compliment! :)

[caradoc01]

Very cool, we look forward to see what you do when the release goes live.

[samuraiko]

Thanks! :D

[Maxered]

That is great Ko! I really like to blue print to full 3d transition!!!

[samuraiko]

Thanks! I love how that shot turned out...

[swardinc]

that right you should be with the first ones in

[swardinc]

great job as always but this time you just being a teasing us can not wait for the full one. i hope too see you in beta.

[samuraiko]

I hope I get into beta...

[swardinc]

yep we know how that goes

[samuraiko]

Well, I WAS at HeroCon 2008, so I should be able to get into it. I hope.

[NogardTwilight]

Love you work like always, now i really cant wait for I14.

NogardT/V1

[samuraiko]

You and me both...

[NogardTwilight]

BTW i forgot to ask in my post, what this song you used?

NogardT/V1

[samuraiko]

The track is called "Poetic Destruction," by Brand X Music.

[NogardTwilight]

Thx, and hope to see the next chap of your story soon.

NogardT/V1

[darkether]

Another wonderful video - nice work!!

[samuraiko]

Thanks! :D

[BEARHUG08]

Great Video as Always..AWesome Job!

[samuraiko]

Thanks!

[blytwd36]

amazing as always :D

[samuraiko]

Thank you, as always. :D

[Catharctic]

Great job Michelle!!! 5 stars!

[samuraiko]

Thank you!

[Spawnus]

Loved it, Honestly NCSoft should employ you to do the Videos for them.

[samuraiko]

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I doubt it will ever happen without an act of God.

[OminousVoice]

Awesome work as always. Would you consider using my 'Summon the Heroes' track in an upcoming project?

[samuraiko]

I will certainly consider it! :)

[ExtraOrdinaryFamily]

awesomely done! CoH is awesome!

[samuraiko]

Thank you, and yes, CoH is awesome.

[zilz0000]

Great!

[samuraiko]

Thanks!

[Repicheep22]

Not as dramatic as some of your other videos, but still pretty sweet.

[samuraiko]

The REAL drama comes with the full trailer... just you wait.

[LtFusion]

Awesome, this Issue is gonna be huge!

[samuraiko]

Yes it is. :D

[theboredone]

Love your videos. Great stuff as always :)

Can't wait for i14!

-@wynter phrost, champion

[samuraiko]

Thanks!
