I'd think it might be the Praetorian version of the hydra. More similiar to the one in greek mythology. -
Machines aren't organic, and they can't have souls or a spirit.

Hey, this thread could be a super booster!

A machine will never be really alive, no matter how advanced we can make them - they'll still just be running on software.

It's even dumber than that, because we're actually going to get to see that portal to Primal Earth
The orignal GR trailer also shows an incorrect picture of Nova Praetoria on the viewing screen at 0:56, plus other rage-inducing acts of dishonesty such as Tyrant ordering the invasion while wearing his armor, when the Apex TF trailer now shows him doing it in his civilian clothes, plus the red banners beside his tower are nowhere to be seen.

The lie of Maelstrom being present at the launch of the invasion is also another one of Paragon Studios' vicious tricks. -
I hope no one who saw the part at 1:08 felt cheated about the blade color when it hit the theaters:

No, no, no... The primary purpose of cleavage is to store your ammo for quick reloading, as this video compilation clearly shows.

It's perfectly reasonable to wonder how someone could be "outraged" about a shot in the trailer using game assets to show a portal to Primal Earth, and call it "dishonest", and then say that using game assets to show Tyrant preparing for the invasion was ok, when it's exactly the same thing being used for exactly the same purpose - game assets being used to make the trailer more dramatic.
The Apex TF trailer - like lots of others trailers Paragon Studios has done - uses game assets to enhance the drama and excitement of the story they're showing - no one is being "lied" to or "cheated" or "wronged" in any way. -

Or he was mature enough to move on since you refuse to step out of the fan box Ms. Golden Girl.
If using game assets to show Tyrant talking to his troops is ok to make the trailer more dramatic, then using game assets to show a portal to Primal Earth to make the trailer more dramatic is also ok - or else, they're both equally "dishonest" - one can't be good and the other bad, because they're exactly the same thing being used for exactly the same purpose. -
I'd like to be able to test this - but the test server isn't downloading the patch for it - it just stops at 2.5 mb, and nothing else happens.

If the devs agreed to just let us reclor Hasten, I think that would satisfy a lot of people

Quote:Well, you're getting one new arc plus some more Tips in I19 - so some of the devs must be working on new red side stuffOriginally Posted by Eisenzahn
My unfulfilled craving for New Villain Content takes priority. If not for that, custom power pools would get an 8 or 9 from me. As is, it gets a 2. Any developer work that's not on New Villain Content (or at least delivered at the same time as a big beautiful heap of New Villain Content) is a painful disappointment.

Quote:So you're ok to be shown the "lie" of Tyrant talking to his minions, which never appears in the game, but you're shrieking about "dishonesty" for a shot of something that does appear in the game?Originally Posted by GMan3
Nope, no paranoia, I just don't like being lied to.
No worse than having a text window talking about a portal to Primal Earth rather than showing one.Quote:You mean you would prefer the standard TF opening? A window with a lot of written storyline? Would have looked real good at the opening of the trailer, don't you think?
First you say it's ok to use game assets to show Tyrant preparing to invade, then you say it's wrong to use game assets to show one of the invasion portals
They're the same subject - the GR trailer uses stuff that doesn't happen in GR, just like the Apex TF trailer uses stuff that doens't happen in the TF.Quote:Last I knew I was talking about the Apex Task Force Trailer. If you want to discuss other things then start a different thread and I'll be happy too. -
Quote:When you're accusing them of "dishonesty", I'm assuming that you must have a reason for it, unless it's simply gibbering paranoia.Originally Posted by GMan3
OK, you want my answer as to why they would lie? Let me put my telepathy hat on so I can read their minds . . . hold on . . . getting something . . . almost there . . . nope, just a headache.
Seriously, you actually expect me to know what they were thinking?
Just like the shot of Tyrant talking to his troops, which isn't even in the game at all?Quote:That is just foolish GG. I can't even begin to know why you are defending a lie. Let me restate my problem - that clip is not in the TF, it is in another TF, that makes it a lie.
And here's the GR launch trailer again:
http://www.youtube.com/user/ncsoftno.../2/7l6ZsENF23Y
Just look at how many "lies" are in that - things that don't appear anywhere in the agme at all - and none of them seemed to cause the same anger at the cross-splice. -
Why? What does she do?

Quote:So, as he was unable to give an answer, perhaps you can tell us what their reason for "lying" might be?Originally Posted by Seth Fist
Wow Ms. Golden Girl. I am kinda surprised here. I mean, from your other posts you are a college student. I am fourteen and even I could see the dishonesty there. Putting out a trailer for a task force, that has a scene shown in it that is not in the task force, is a lie. No two ways about it. Granted, I wasn't as upset about it as Mr. GMan3 is, but that is probably at least partially because his friend was so upset. I know I would be more than a little embarrassed if the same thing happened to me.
Or maybe you could also also point out the "trick" at the start fo the trailer, where Tyrant is shown giving his troops a pep talk, which not only doesn't appear in the Apex TF, it doesn't even appear in the game at all.
You might also like to watch the Going Rogue launch trailer, and spot just how many "lies" are in it too:

Quote:Well, as there's no dishonesty going on, that would explain why there's no reason for itOriginally Posted by GMan3
They did? Where? At the M&G? At the NYCC Panel? Not even close to good enough. I am sorry, but I and tens of thousands of others could NOT make it to those. I can't even find it on YouTube and normally I can find things pretty well there (would love a link if anyone has found it). Even if I could though, this is supposedly the OFFICIAL website for the game. The info here should be clear, concise, and ACCURATE. I expect a little salesmanship inflation, I do not expect dishonesty.
As for why they did it? I have no idea why people make bad decisions. Happens all the time though.
Conversation type: Fictional narrative: Relevant temperature: Lacking warmth: Relationship status: Male sibling.Quote:Oh and we just lost another possible convert to this game. I was showing it off to him the other day when this trailer came out. He wanted to see it and said it looked awesome. Then he wanted to see the forum chatter on it (at which point I cringed because I had not looked at it yet). The one post pointing out that dishonesty dissuaded him from joining. It seems the last two MMO's he played did the same kind of crap and he didn't like it. He also didn't like how people couldn't have simple disagreements in the forums without all the rage, but that is a different subject all together and I won't go into it here. -
So how are they being dishonest when they went out of their way to point out that that shot was from the Tin Mage TF?
And you still haven't said why they'd try tricking anyone either - or what purposed it'd have. -
Quote:Dishonest? Who excatly are they trying to trick, and for what reason?Originally Posted by GMan3
Was the Trailer called "The Apex and Tin Mage Task Forces"? No. It was shown to us as "The Apex Task Force". Never a mention of Tin Mage anywhere in there. The fact that both TF's are in the new Issue is irrelevant. They made an "advertising" mistake here. Liking one part of one TF and putting it in the trailer for the other TF because you think it looks so good it dishonest.

Between 1 and 4 for me

What exactly is this for?

Quote:You do know that the Tin Mage TF is inlcuded for free in the same Issue as the also-free Apex TF, don't you?Originally Posted by GMan3
Wait a minute! That trailer was supposed to be about the Apex TF and it has scenes from the Tin Mage TF in it? That is LAME. Bordering on false advertisement too. I hate when people do crap like this.
