ROFL. I almost pee'd my pants laughing reading this. Best April Fools ever, well done. I didn't know you had comedians on your team because this is first class satire. -
Well, this thread has become completely useless. Anyways, grats to . . . um . . . whoever.
It's really too bad that a thread isn't deleted when it becomes so usless. -
Bravo Paragon Studios. Not as funny as the visual sound effects a few years back, but good none the less. Can't wait to make my Senior Splat!!!!

Well, I am way too late to get this off before you left Niv, but I am sorry to see you go. I hope you see this in the forums someday and Good Luck.

Quote:I'm sorry to say, Haggard4Life, you have completely missed the point and I am sorry I was not clear enough for you to understand. I'll try to fix that now. Look back at some of the other video trailers, you get clear ideas of what to expect, wings for example, not close in shots that are hard to distinguish. All I want is a decent video and a little info. For instance, it talks about 7 different types of demons and has an identicle power icon to the Gang War power. This leads me to believe the demons are a set summoned type similar to the rest of the MMs, but if Dual Pistols is any indication it may be that we can choose our own types of demons to summon (my personal hope).Originally Posted by Haggard4Life
I think the point of the Demon Summoning and Duel Pistols videos is to be teasers like movie trailers are. Movie trailers shouldn't give you all the information about the movie right away, they should give you enough information to entice your interest in the movie.
In this case, they're giving us a teaser trailer of what the DS set looks like and a brief description of the set (including all the power names and critters you can summon).
I don't think we should except ParagonWiki-level details from these teasers. We'll get all that info when DS is in open beta.
My point is that what little bit of information Paragon Studios is giving out leads to little more than speculation and disappointment (see "my personal hope" above). Give us a little more information and we are much less likely to be disappointed in the results.
I did some further searching on the internet last night after pointing out that Champions On-Line has a better organized and written website than CoX (doesn't stop it from sucking as a game though). It seems that out of the 12 other websites I checked out this was true for 9 of them. Other than WoW, the rest were much newer MMO's as well. This tells me that these games are looking to ATTRACT gamers with their websites by giving enough information to really interest you and still not give away the game. That is all I want CoX to so.
Here is my suggestion to the CoX staff: (1) Twice weekly updates on what is going on and what is planned. Mondays and Thursdays would probably be best and allow the Thursday posts to list any fixes made to the games in the weekly maintainance. Trust me, looking stuff up here in the forums is a pain and not at all enjoyable. (2) I would also like to see other portions of the website updated to reflect what has happened in the game AND (3) how about a general powers explanation page? No numbers necessary, just breif explanations. Paragonwiki is all fine and dandy, but it is ugly, unintuitive to use, and has more info than most people need for most cases. All in all I believe these suggestions would PROMOTE the game to people looking at it for the first time and draw in more customers.
Lastly and on a good note. Is anyone else out there a little interested in what Paragon Studios will be doing for their April Fools event this year? Some of the past ones were great. I was in awe (not in a good way) over the "visual sound effects" they did a while back, then did a MAJOR head slap when i realised the date. You go Paragon Studios, that was a great idea. -
I admit the video and the little bit of info looks good BUT, can you give much less at this point? A video that is supposed to be 41 seconds to give us a tease, but is really only about 25 seconds after the pre-shots and post shots for Paragon studios and then the powers are not even explained. Then the bare and stingy message on the website? Useless. Granted, I could have joined the test server, but things are always so messed up there during ALL phases of beta that it isn't worth it.
Look Devs, how about a decent showing of some in-game action and actually write up some decent information about the powers for us. We know that things are going to change, but tell us what you are trying to do now so we know what to expect.
The complete lack of new information over the years with this game has always annoyed me and maybe with me starting to get bored of the game, I am getting more easily annoyed. Somehow that doesn't seem right to me. Especially since even Champions On-line seems to do a better job with updating the website for it's users. -
I'm not trying to be over critical here, but is anyone else annoyed by how little info they are actually giving us concerning GR? I'm sorry, but by now they could have easily said the target date for pre-orders and yet . . . nothing. The GR Website has basically NO INFORMATION on it what-so-ever and what little "content" there is on that website has barely been updated since it first went on-line. Here is my suggestions 1-target date for pre-order period limited to no more than a 2 week period. 2-It's time for some real information and screen shots, especially for the Demon MM. The Test Server has been abuzz for a while now, they should have some good shots for us. 3- an explanation of why the release of GR has been move to the 3rd quarter of 2010 would be nice. I am sure it will be something like "way harder than we expected" but at least give us that. And 4- KEEP US UPDATED. Our $15.00 a month may not be much individually, but I think we deserve that much at least. Oh and that money is keeping you and yours fed btw. Come on Devs, just throw us a bone once in a while.

Am I the only one a little annoyed with how vague the release "date" for GR is? Especially since they did not specify if 2nd Quarter of 2010 was fiscal or calendar. I would have really appreciated a little more clarity on this. It might even be a good idea to release some more information on the subject already, maybe on the GR website which has not been updated in months.
