Woohoo!
Seriously, guys, you have outdone yourself on this update. I really think this is going to have ramifications not only in the City of Heroes community, but in the MMORPG industry as a whole, setting the bar higher for all games. In the business world, a goal of every company out there is to set yourself apart from your competition by offering something unique and valuable that lots of people want. I really think you've hit the nail on the head here, and I'm more excited about this game than I've been in a long time.
All I ask is to not stop here. You'll need to keep improving the Mission Architect, adding more features, continually expanding our ability to tweak and customize.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
Yay!
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
Nice 
I know this is extremely unlikely but if i14 hits, um, next Wednesday (the 1st)...
...well, forget automated emails, that would be such an awesome birthday present. XD

Nah, the 1st will have to be reserved for them to unveil some insanely stupid idea that they're going to swear is the theme of the next issue. After all, it will be April Fools Day 
So when can we see magic pack screenies I wonder?
Damn, I must get cracking on my 2nd arc!

Oh yes, this would make an excellent Birthday Gift for myself as well.

I agree, I haven't been this excited ever about things.

I'm so excited, I'm eating cookies at twice the normal rate!

That blue thing running around saying "Cookies are sometimes food" is Praetorian Cookie Monster!
Shoot on sight, please.
On April 1st we'll be told that i14 will not be coming out. Al Sharpton will be called and THERE WILL BE OUTRAGE!

So that was the 85 meg update I just saw come down? I looked and didn't see any patch note.s
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
You should've gotten a screen, after sign-off, that said the same thing Niv said.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Can't wait to get home and start the download and while it's downloading, enter MA/AE on the Test Server to work on my 2nd Story-Arc!!!!
NCSoft has given us the means to make our own Arch-Nemesis... nay... they gave us the ability to have our friends create our Arch-Nemesis for us and we can create one for them, and then swap and play!
Please NCSoft... if there's any feature in the game that we the playerbase can urge you to never abandon and always continue to develop, let it be the MA/AE systems!
I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

No.
NO NO NO NO!
Not until you've fixed the Mem leaks, html bloat bugs, and nerf AI ninjas. As it stands, it takes 2 gigs of ram to make a 50Kb file (which becomes a 100 kb file due to html bugs) just to make a minion that can take down an AV.*
Please please PLEASE do not ship it like this. I beg you! I'd hate to sound demanding, but there are still some serious bugs with this system that directly hamper ones ability to use and enjoy it, thus negating the entire reason for having it in the first place. Take another week at least to do something about these bugs.
Please.
*: disclaimer, I'm exaggerating, but the problems are pretty serious.
-STEELE =)
Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
This is too soon. MA is still very buggy. It feels more like something to be found in Closed Beta, and nowhere near ready for Public Release.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Which is why I'm begging for them to never let it go and to always keep making it better.

The pre-release files have sometimes come weeks before release. Usually, they come when the devs are pretty sure they aren't going to be making big changes to the data, which means most of the patching past that point will likely be server-side, tiny data changes, and maybe one last code change on the client.
My guess is the "Big Patch" for Issue 14 is pretty stable, even if the issue itself isn't yet, so its reasonable to get people starting the pre-download.

(Please support the best webcomic about a cosmic universal realignment by impaired angelic interference resulting in identity crisis angst. Or I release the pigmy water thieves.)
Folks, this pre-release patch option is merely to help stagger the load that our updater servers will get once we are ready to launch.
If we allow that hit to take place over a few weeks it is better for all involved at launch.
If there are additional notes or feedback about what is on test please use the Feedback and Bug sections to report so we don't miss your comments.
