Statesman,
There is little-to-no disagreement on these boards around the need for CoV to be "fleshed out". The problems focus more on the lack of non-PvP or base content for CoH.
Yes, many people just assumed that the patch would have a lot of CoH stuff, including me. That's our bad. Still, the amount of time there has been since significant content/design upgrades for CoH is a contributing factor to our wants/desires/assumptions.
IMO, comparing the first two issues of CoV to the first two issues of CoH is unfair.....mainly because, when CoH came out, the players were your ONLY subscribers! That is not the case now. If your plan is to treat CoV exactly as you did CoH during the first year, the plan is going to be faulty. The situations are different, and need to be planned for accordingly.
There's also the issue of "seperate content teams" and "combined issues". The players didn't make this up...they come from your team, and they suggest something somewhat different than what your new post suggests. It would probably help to get those ideas clarified.
I suspect, also, that some of the disappointment spilling out on the CoH side actually built up over the past few months. As already stated, just about every major design addition that was hinted out for CoH (skills, vehicles, arch-nemesis, power customization, weapon customization, legends system, "newspaper" missions, shields and pistols powersets) have all been "delayed", "put on the back burner", or are expected "later in the year".
So, bascially, we have NO idea what's still being worked on for CoH. Perhaps a list of the top five things currently being developed for CoH would help us. It could be updated monthly or bi-monthly, perhaps with explainations as to why things drop off or move up.
As it is right now, I have a hard time seeing what differences CoH will have in May, June, July, or Aug., and so do many others.
Otherwise, I'm glad to see the additions coming to CoV...they look fun and exciting. And, the PDP change looks interesting too. Here's hoping we get some fun events in there too.
Thanks for the time.

A more boring and far more likely guess would be an enhancement store. If I'm wrong, I'll be happily surprised.

At first the took the P. We rallied and got them to change it to the first R.
We fear, however, that in I7 they will change their minds again and take our precious S.

You too?

Yup, it's time for the usual issue hysteria.
I'm going to be sitting out this one. It's more fun to actually play the game than to get wrapped up in the same cycle that happens everytime a new issue is introduced.

DOOM?

#3) Make Hazard Zone versions of Warburg, Bloody Bay and Sirens Call with the PVP element/Zonewide game removed, but the missions intact so people who don't like to PVP can access that content without risking PVP.

Best idea I've heard in months.

Hmph.
He replyed to a reply of the post where I guessed right, and edited me out 
That does it, next time he can rot in Tyrants gaol, for all I care.
Always remember, we were Heroes.

Yaaaay!
Now if only SG bases weren't so horribly expensive! 
I guess my biggest complaint about comlainers is that they usually sound like ranters (ie: Im gonna cancel my account, Jack you're a tard, etc.).
Your post, however, is well-worded and concise, and expresses in civilized terms why some people are upset about I7 (although I generally sneer at the words "paying customer" because of the afformentioned reason (usually leads into a rant)).
Kudos to you THUDD, and well spoken. Although it is understandable that I7 is mostly villain-based relase, it would be nice to know when hero-related items will be introduced for the CoH-only non-PvP crowd.

I would rather content and cool toys to be released as they are finished. That way we can be only slightly dissapointed an update at a time rather than just one huge dissapointment every few months.
[/ QUOTE ]
Kinda like the last two patches on the test server? 
[/ QUOTE ]
Despite the fact you are coming off as a condescending [censored] I will be nice.
Yes.. exactly like that. I wish we could get changes as they are complete. The stuff in the issues is cool, but the coolness is overshadowed by the fact that some people have been waiting forever for a very specific change. New issues hold the promise of this. Yet it doesn't come..
[/ QUOTE ]
Maybe you should ask Jack if the increased content that's recently been showing up between patches will be the norm from now on.
Origin specific powers, PDP upgrades, and changes to the way AVs spawn were all things that some players have asked for in the past. His comment about releasing content when its ready may foreshadow more of these releases in the future.
Sorry about the whole "condescending [censored]" thing. I forgot we're all supposed to worship you.

And didn't require CoV
I'm playing Devil's Advocate for a sec:
What about the people that only have CoV? Don't you think they are elated to get new content after having a toon stalled at 40 for 4 months while their hero counterparts are strolling around at 50?
I think Abe Lincoln said it best: You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

You are being an [censored] again.
I don't expect worship of any sort. I would just rather you didn't reply to my wish as if I am being stupid because it is already what is happening. You added the smirking smiley. Without it you would have come off as "Yes.. I agree.. more of that would be nice". With it you come off as "You are being stupid. They already did that!".
Yes.. I agree.. more of that would be nice
