great, now all i want to do is play on test till an unannounced update goes up 
I have to agree gamespot sucks, i can hear but i can't see it. I can't download it, and i'm not going to sign up again just to get their junk mail all over again.
Can we please have another video link where we don't have to submit to spam?

Where's the Carnival MM set States mentioned once? 
Evil clowns FTW! The summoning animation for the clowns (States mentioned the minions as being clowns, strongmen, and acrobat) could be a little clown car that races up to you then all the clowns pile out.

LOLOL That'd be great.
And while the car comes screeching up you'd hear the carnival music in the background... de de da de da da de de da de da or whatever I suck at writing music :P

The Thug set looks like it breaks down to:

...am I reading this right? You get... Hellions, Cowboys, and Motorcycle Punks? That's kinda random sounding. At least the mercs have a unified concept...
Someone post SCREENSHOTS! Gamespot stinks on ice and I can't see this thing!

[/ QUOTE ] While the first part is true, the whole not being able to see the video's likely not their problem. I'd been having that issue (along with some videos locking my computer) up untill I recently updated all my codecs and my video driver. Hopefully that'll fix the issue for ya.

Hey they're real.
They're just not in I7, probably I8 or I9, or later, who knows, but definitely not in I7 as far as what's listed.
Oh my goodness can you say EXCITED?!?! I can honeslty say I could care less about MMs till this video now I wana make a thug MM. Im sure once I play it I will still have the same impression of em but yeah for now I cant wait to make one. And how about our Mu looking elec powers? I am thinking they are patron powers. But that makes me excited and I said to myself I would be going that route if we got Mu [looking] patron powers .lucky me =]

...and did I see an Electric Brute? If so...yup, red, not blue.
If so or if not...that "reach-for-the-sky, pull-down-a-big-ol'-lightning-bolt-and-then-AoE-the-hell-outta-stuff" power was awesome!
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm starting to realize why tanks and scrappers don't have it now....who would want an evil looking red electric power as a hero. Maybe they're gonna rework the colors for heroes. Oh and I'm rolling one just so I can have the "reach-for-the-sky, pull-down-a-big-ol'-lightning-bolt-and-then-AoE-the-hell-outta-stuff" 'cause it was freakin' awesome!!!!!

Mu looking Patron Powers would nothing to be joyous about.. you might as well just get the Electric Blast power set for the Blaster, lol.
Being a Mu on the other hand... now that's somethign to be excited about..... ..I can dream..
Maybe you were talking about that Electric Melee AoE that everyone's piddling in their pants about?

Damn, I was hoping for a nice looking city. Kindof like Atlas park with expensive skyscrapers/etc. Right now every zone looks like a combo of Kings/creys (all beat to hell).
Got my fingers crossed for a future update....

um, Rogue Isles is a dictatorship, run by an evil overlord who likes spiders and dresses like a magneto knock off
he don't like pretty
red elec powers i was looking at didnt look like elec melee...i could be wrong. i just said if we got MU patron powers [red elec] i would be going that route. i have no idea of course what powers we will get. i could be wrong i don't know i am excited regardless. thanks.
I SAW TRENCH COATS!!!! THEY LOOK AMAZING!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

Aww, you cut off the third minion on the right. It looks like the third guy is a pyromaniac type thug. He's different from the other two, wearing a gas mask, welder's goggles, and orange pants with a flame design on them. The big guy is your basic tanker type wearing a ton of chains.
Pity we couldn't see more of the Thugs in action. The big guy is probably going to use the whole suite of Super Strength attacks, and the lieuts have two machine pistols that they use to cool effect, but no idea what the little guys do. Probably pistols and baseball bats, and the third guy throws molotovs and/or explosives.
Arc #41077 - The Men of State
Arc #48845 - Operation: Dirty Snowball
Very nice. The thug pets look interesting, especially the dual machine pistol ones. I was sort of hoping for the thugs like the 1960's Batman TV show had, Goon 1, goon 2 etc. They are not what I was expecting, but there are very interesting.
The Arachnos flyer looks like a great GM to battle.
Can't wait for this to hit test.

Next up: trenchcoats and dual pistols for players, storm & ranged elec. for corruptors, daggers for stalkers, energy armor and all that for tanks/scrappers, and cold fusion for everybody.

Actually
at 00:58 into the video... there's a guy with a with the dreads and a grey shirt... with a pistol... now he could be a mob or a henchman... but then there's this other guy in green with a cowboy hat and he also seems to have a pistol... and he does look like a normal player...
Please don't have any circle of thorns in I7 content.
Please.
I'm begging you. I'm so [censored] tired of fighting circle of thorns. I have fought them constantly from 1-40.
Please.
Not to ruin anybody's fun, but is does say that the bottom level is for outcasted losers too, so what we're seeing may not be the thug powerset, they could just be mobs.
Other than that, the preview looks great! I love the idea of fighting an Arachnos flyer, especially one that's said to patrol the area! Being shot in the back randomly keeps you on your toes! The whole Spider City looks awesome, from the shots I've seen, I like all the monitors with Lord Recluse's ugly mug on 'em. It's my kind of town!
The red lightning had me thinking patron power immediatly, and I definately want that set once they come out! It would fit my villain's concept perfectly to be shooting evil lightning crap down, since the source of his power was used to suck the mad mojo from the PTS system for a day! *Pwee pwee pwee*
I'm really looking forward to I7 now, it just all looks so great! Now if my robots can keep up with me and avoid falling off cliffs (They do fine in Arachnos forts), we'll be good! Great job, devs, you're keeping me excited!
Oh, and I fail to see how Lord Recluse looks anything like Magneto!

I wonder is you could get a badge from killing the roaming Arachnos Flyer?
