Apart from the new TF/SF, MA fixes, nothing else is announced. Doesnt mean there will be more to come..

Why would they rename a entire company to Paragon Design, and only add some minor stuff to it?

(never knew this forum was flooded with such pessimism).

Many people are just sick and tired of waiting. We're sick and tired of the ever present "Soon", which never actually arrives.

Looking on the bright side...we can't say it's the EU being picked on this time round...

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure we can. Posi's making his address at 8pm their time, not our time.. So WE get to wait until we get up tomorrow, or stay up, oversleep, and be late for work.

I dunno about you lot, but I think holding a wake is more appropriate right now...

On the 5th. I really don't get why people like them so much. They're rebadged Council (or visa versa) and The Council are pretty average in most respects.

[/ QUOTE ]

They're god damn Nazis, man. Like the god damn Batman. Death metal skulls, awesome names. Who doesn't like beating up Nazis?

[/ QUOTE ]

They're COUNCIL! What the hell does it matter who they're meant to be? The 5th and the Council are exactly the same mob, just with a different skin. The one thing they most definitely are NOT, is NEW content.

I'm not prepared to wait for I16, I17, I18 or even a possible sequel. Enough is enough now. Too long have they been saying that the NEXT issue will be it, too long have they been saying "Soon", well, enough now. Way enough. Competition is just way too close for them to be screwing around with loyal players like this, and I'm just all out of patience.

So I'll go down on record right now and say this.

If Positron's 5th year anniversary address does NOT come up with something new and exciting which we get VERY soon, my sub WILL be canceled tomorrow. I'm just not going to keep paying them money on the promise of "soon", when they just continually break that promise.

Issue 13 was originally meant to be "IT", then MA was bumped as it was too big. Then Issue 14 was meant to be "IT", and it's turned the game into City of Farmers. Then Issue 15 was meant to be "IT", a massive story based issue, and it's got 2 stinking task forces, a few emotes, some faces, and something to help the farmers. Whoop dee frickin' doo.

I used to absolutely love this game. I used to trust everything the devs said. I don't anymore.

Seriously... Are they actively TRYING to kill their game now?

Oh, I'm not moaning about not getting stuff first. I don't really CARE about that... But why time it so that most of the EU won't get it until tomorrow? They could so easily give the info during their morning, our afternoon. Is that really so bloody hard for them to do?

Is that IT? Colour me unimpressed... Posi'd better have some STONKING news for us later.

Sooo... No one seems to have pointed this out...

Global Anniversary Address From Positron

Also on our anniversary day, be watching around 2am BST (3am CEST) in-game (and shortly thereafter on the website), for a special Anniversary Address from everyone’s favourite Lead Designer, Positron. He will certainly have some fun information to share!


[/ QUOTE ]

Is the timing on that right? We have to wait until 2am to find out what Posi has to say?

Why so late? That's 6pm EST which is pretty late even for them...

[ QUOTE ]
And if discussing how many are actually playing the games, look at the play time statistics at XFire. Guild Wars has currently almost 11000 users per day, while City of Heroes+Villains barely 1000 users.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hardly a trustable metric, is it? You have to USE XFire for it to register, and don't know anyone who does.

Soon™

Somewhere™

This place is getting too weird now... I'm off to bed. AND NOT WITH ML EITHER!

I'm sorry I would pun some more but quite honestly I'm stunned to disbelief at the prospect of FFM gagging and mounting me.

No... Just... No..

BAD MUMSY!!

Why is that, do you think?


[/ QUOTE ]They stopped paying you?

[/ QUOTE ]

Damn... Rumbled!

Oh well... the truth is out now folks! I can reveal at last that, yes, I'm a stooge!

Which one though? Larry, Curly or Moe?

Hmmm... Horse.... Great with gravy.

Hmmm,*wonders*.... not sure I could stomach Horse, there seems to be some kind of mental stumbling block. That said, I eat Cow so..... maybe, not-sure.

I'd have to step back and take stock of the situation.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's rather like beef actually, though you have to be careful how you cook it as it can get a bit chewy, and might leave you a little hoarse with all the chewing.

Maybe having run out of patience or faith might have something to do with it....

.. or a viable alternative?.. *Ahem*,.. allegedly.

[/ QUOTE ]

A couple of hours a week do not a viable alternative make. /Yoda

Teehee!

[ QUOTE ]
(50% is a bit far fetched as FFM has stopped posting as much :P)

[/ QUOTE ]

I *am* still reading them though!

*tasers Mad Mud*

Actually... You should really ask WHY someone like me isn't posting so much anymore. You all know how much of a rabid fanboi I've been in the past, and suddenly I'm not posting much and being rather critical of NC and the game in general.

Why is that, do you think?

Maybe having run out of patience or faith might have something to do with it.... (OK, there's boredom too, but it's not alone).

If that was in reference to my post, did you scroll down the link I posted to the part where FFM made exactly the same mistake?

It wasn't a mistake... It was lack of coffee!

You calling me a liar?

[ QUOTE ]
Would it have been too hard to finish writing the US announcement a day earlier, then keep it under wraps until the localisations had been done and everything could go live at once?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not too hard for any English company, no. But you're still operating under the impression that NC actually give a stuff about the EU community. If they did, then things would happen as you suggest.

[ QUOTE ]

It doesn't even have to be anything that big, honest! Hell, I'd settle for a day of Arachnos invading Paragon.

[/ QUOTE ]

For one day only, all zones become PvP ones - with Arachnos invasion mobs, plus Longbow defense mobs

[/ QUOTE ]

At least that would be something NEW! Not just recycled invasions that most of us are pretty sick and tired of...

Standoff? You're on the list!

Mad_Mud & Moon_Angel. It's par for the course these days. EU just doesn't matter any more.
