Issue 16 is not GR

PRAF68_EU · 06-20-2009 05:24 AM

However, it does appear to be power customisation.

Anouncement

I really should do something about this signature.

Thunderspark · 06-20-2009 05:50 AM

I might have been disappointed if this wasn't the best news my Mastermind has heard since she summoned her first bot! Well, sure im hankering for Going Rogue (which CoX player isn't, I mean if they were being honest with themselves) but the ability to customise our attacks is something a lot of people, including myself, have been wanting for a while.

Now onwards to those cute pink mastermind robots that I've seen in my electric dreams...

Well duh... We always knew GR wasn't Issue 16... Issue's are free updates, GR is a paid for expansion.

That WAS a paid for expansion, until they combined them for some reason -shrug-
Given that you couldny have base access and stuff without CoV, it sorta made sense. Meh.

Pvp zones = free right?

Edit: Which by the content level of the last few issues is worthy of an issue itself hehe

Spraypainting your imps is one thing. Full power customisation is another....

...and fully customisable MM pets?

*hopeful*

Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

ReclusesPhantom · 06-20-2009 10:17 AM

Hope we can colour our MM pets.. PINK ZOMBIES! XD
It'll be as epic as that pink Crab Spider I made on Test when the VEATs were released

Along Came A Spider still tied in with CoV's release, did it not?

[EDIT], Yes, I did get the two issues mixed up there...

Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

SingStar · 06-20-2009 10:38 AM

Ok, seriously disturbing.
We already know the content of I15 and it's... thin...

Now it MIGHT be that I16 is power customzation, ergo another extremely thin expansion. While it's nice they revamp the game engine to "modern" standards (still no gfx update it seems though) and we're getting GR this - to me - is very troublesome. Seems like another pointless stab at the competition.

Let's just hope I'm jumpin' the gun here, or that SW:TOR is released faster than anyone expected!

How can you possibly assume all that from a two-screenshot teaser?

I'm not saying it'll be earth-shatteringly awesome, because we don't know much of anything yet, but really, I think it's a little bit early to start the whining on this one.

I suspect it's just a "treat" feature rather than the meat (or sauteed carrots with a hint of thyme and garlic, should you so desire) of the matter.

I admit that as someone who doesn't regularly have time to do TFs, though, I was hardly doing the dance of joy over I15, but there's still enough other treats, some unexpected, to keep me a pretty happy little heroine.

Do we know about anything else other than the Pimp My Imp feature before we write I16 off and commence with the screaming?

Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
