When the next several game updates are devoted entirely to something you paid extra money to do, but now discover that you can't get involved in due to real life obligations...how does that qualify as "rage?"

Couldn't their opinions at least be worth respectfully disagreeing with, without a dismissive "u mad? kthnxbai."

FYI, this stuff is on test for us to...test. Part of testing is providing feedback.

It be like driving a car 5 feet and saying it handles poorly is reason you didn't bought it, not because you couldn't afford it or some real reasoning that makes sense.

Given it litterally costs you nothing to watch, you don't have to catch it when it airs(making your trailer comparsion moot to this.), and if you love these characters in the past or super heroes in general there's a good chance you will like this show is all everyone is getting at. Taking an ignorance stance and bothering to come into the thread about just seems silly on multiple levels because you aren't even giving an educated opinion or contributing anything productive to the topic. Just feels like crap stirring for sake of going against the crowd. Not because it's cool or even a good cop out for not doing something. So if you get railed in this thread, don't be surprised by the backlash. So simply be as done with this thread quickly as you were with the show and save everyone else some time if you don't care to form a real opinion.

But why are people linking to bad intros? Why not link to a good one?

The first time it really hit me was with I11 and the Midnight Squad. Ashley McKnight's writing was actually pretty good, but Montague Castanella's writing is HORRIBLE, to the point of being painful to sit through. And I have to sit through it if I want access to the Midnight Club.

What makes me the most mad is that there are obviously talented writers on staff, as evidenced by some of the better content we've seen lately, such as Vincent Ross' arc and earlier than that Dean McArtuhr's arc. And, hell, most of Praetoria feels like it was written by actual professional writers. These stories make sense, they tie together, and above all they are well-written. So why the hell are they always paired up with such obvious amateurish work? It wouldn't be as obvious or as grating if everything in the game were badly written, but not everything is. Some of the new story arcs are very good, and some are very bad. And when you have very good stories, the very bad really, really, REALLY stand out.

I know the City of Heroes developers and writers can do better than this. I want them to do better than this.

*edit*
Just as a random example, I'm doing Division: Line right now, after having run both of Levantera's arcs and Serpent Drummer's arc. By this point, I'm well aware of the factionalization of the Rikti society here on Earth, of which faction stands for what, of the human-Rikti peace talks, of C'Khelkah's personality and contribution to the peace talks and the entire situation. And yet Angus has me exploring the possibility that the Rikti have split into factions, trying to figure out which Faction we want to fight more and "capturing" C'Khelkah and interrogating her, all in an eventual attempt to stop the second Rikti invasion which happened two years ago.

Just about everything that has taken place in Division: Line up until now has made me instinctively question events. Why are the Rikti stealing Portal technology when they clearly have their own, and when they already have a "tenuous" portal back to their Homeworld. How was C'Khelkah at the negotiations when I'm just capturing her now. Why don't I know that it's not the Traditionalists who are evil? Why is it surprising that the Rikti would try magic? And so on, and so on, and so on. Division: Line is a great arc, easily one of my most favourite, but these gaping plot holes are ruining it for me. Of course, I don't blame the original writer of the story for this, because back in I1, it still made sense. I blame whoever it was that decided to move all of these revelations back to the 35-40 level range, yet left Angus' 40-45 unchanged. Even Maria Jenkins and Tina McIntyre's old arcs got updated so as to make sense (kind of), yet this one was left behind, and it's really, REALLY souring me on the experience.

I seriously hope a graphical and textural update (Yes, I know Ultra Mode was only recently, thank you) is in the works for a 'Soon' issue...sadly, I'm also not counting on it. I'm dead certain it would go a long way to giving the old girl some freshness, though.

But yeah, the Wolfpack bots really need some spit, polish and heavy graft engineering to bring them up to standard. As do the Council and 5th Column troopers themselves. They are looking incredibly low-rez these days.

At this point I imagine David and co. are doing the hard graft of actually converting these pieces for PC use. I doubt they'd go to the trouble of asking us what we wanted only to turn around and not do it.

I mean, Fakes don't seem to have any trouble navigating terrain, even if it looks odd sometimes, and the game doesn't seem to treat them as being "too big." They are a fair bit bigger than even the biggest of us, though.
