I also stated this n the FB feed (Add me as a friend f you want)...but why is IGN just seeing Dual Pistols? Don't the devs have industry previews for their games?

Granted Dual Pistols was going to come out with GR not with GR but early and they should have seen it by now if they didn't early release it but really...3 months after its early release?

I agree with Lascher...what is the point of i19... if I am not buying GR I just get a market merge and as for the whole "Were getting new costumes... we should be happy" mentality...Let me remind you of the artistic masterpiece that is called Vines...the more and more I think of these new costumes the more and more im reminded of the Vines set that made me want to question my sanity.

Oh and a revised CoP doesn't mean jack on a small uninterested server like Champion redside...the devs should just say that the entrance to the CoP is in Praetoria and to get there you have to own GR because that's what the devs want.

you cant compare CoV to an expansion for both. They added stuff to CoV and that was for CoV only. When they add stuff for CoH only ( Most issues) you bought CoH.

But it is a different story when you sell a product to the whole community but require the entire community to buy it in order to play it when it is in an issue and when these issues have been publicized as free mini expansions. Once we now have to buy X to play Z then we get into a tricky area where some people might get upset.

saying that this was the case with CoV does not make sense. They never said "Hey here is new content for everyone to play but you have to own City of VIllains to play it. The addition of Grandville to CoV should not effect anyone in Paragon City since they never got into The Isles

Thank you 666...why do we need GR for something that isnt in GR?

I made a similar comment in a different thread where I said it wasn't cool that we had to own GR to play Incarnates...something we've been waiting for. Now that GR will not have Incarnate levels... we still have to buy GR? They might as well start doing this across the board.

This has to bring to a change in that whole " Our updates are free" because post GR you will need GR to play these expansions.

I wouldn't scream sarcasm?

I mean its not the most probable reason but it was a sneak preview...Posi didn't say a sneak preview for beta testers or as a whole for GR release...semantics are their specialty...

I for one rather see incarnate plus incarnate content in a free issue rather than an expansion so if they try to pull the "GR customers only in I19 there will be a mass exodus since i18 will come out around DCUO and since its the best time for them to do so at NYC Comic Con I want to say that i19 might come out right after it in October.

I think they are playing a really dangerous game so close to its competition coming out. Before anyone says that we said the same thing about CO take to consideration that DCUO is an established franchise with over 4 years of content fans and multimedia-merchandise so my saying that we said this about CO isn't going to float well...CO wasn't real completion but DCUO and maybe Marvel might be is it ever gets off the ground... then yea that's going to be a competitor.


People already declared that they are going to let their accounts expire on this thread...I really want to be a fly on the wall at paragon studios.

Instead of pulling the slot because there wasn't much to do with them and that the devs didn't like the way it worked with the players...why not add 50+ content for i18??

I am always confuzzled by the dev interest in 1-20 content? Everything the devs know bout 1-20 contradicts their attempts to make 1-20 content. A year or so they bumped the rate at which we level in the 1-20 range...I would think that if they want to showcase their awesome work with GR they would make leveling in that area as hard as possible but not impossible so the hypothetical new customers can see what the devs have done and to keep an interest going.



On a side note...I guess the marketing dept is working? they now have CD on sale on Itunes? Can they have done these sort of thing 2-3 years ago?

I would love to be a fly on the wall at Paragon Studios.

I don't mind shelling out the cash for GR but I mind the fact that the features list seems pretty anorexic and now something that has been mentioned several times (Incarnates) isn't going to be on that features list were left with:

-4 new powersets
-4 new zones
-Praetorian costumes
-level 1-20 content
-side switching


-4 new powersets, While they are cool, I for one am not interested in 3 of those sets, would I experiment with them when it comes out...maybe.

-4 new zones, yes the zones looks awesome and amazing but that doesn't last long before it gets boring.

-Praetorian costumes, Any new costumes are amazing. I don't think were getting the Praetorian Police Dept Gloves since those seem to shoot at you but again, new costumes are always fun.

-Level 1-20 content, as everyone here has stated at least once... that content is usually PL'd over or rushed so it doesn't help in the least. I actually don't rush any of the levels and usually takes me a year and a half to get a toon to 50. I will never understand the rush to 50 and put that toon in the closet.

-Side switching, I don't mind taking a villain over to be a hero or a hero to be a villain. That novelty runs thin unless there is NEW content in the extremes alignments (hero side and villain side)

------------------------------

I don't see what is so blasphemous and wrong with wanting a bang for the buck? I am not saying that I am going to go and boycott the game because GR looks emaciated, I will probably wait for the complete collection and get it in September or October.

What does bother me is that in order to play a system wide feature I have to buy an expansion. I don't see why the incarnate system has to depend on GR unless there was something in GR that explained incarnates or that there was some sort of incarnate tie in to GR.
