If I gotta pick between more content, and Ultra Mode, I'm going with more content all the way.
Never mind that I would loyally support Television through thick and thin regardless...
But, if it'll get use more content, all Hail Television!
Buy a taller TV stand and you won't have to bow down to it.
<sigh> Viv says its no longer "all me".

At the moment I'm not sure if this will be a mini-Issue or a full blown I17. I'm guessing mini-Issue right now.

Please please please tell me you are not a data analyst of any kind for any company, and more importantly, not for any friendly government.
I've already forgotten about most of you

I'm pretty sure we're getting both and they're just having fun in the meantime.

Bow? TV never asks you to bow.
TV just wants to love you. To care for you. Living in this city is hard work and each of us deserves the right to enjoy some time with TV.
And what does TV ask in return? Does it demand that you serve it like Recluse? Does it pretend to be a scientist like Aeon?
No...It just wants your love. No secrets, no deception...just love.
Hmm. When did I become Victorys' official voice of doom? Perhaps I should change my username to Archangel. (biblical reference, deal with it)
Flux, I'm just happy to have a shiny to be distracted by. GR could still be a bust, but new content is a Good Thing™.

No. Sorry. New content is an expected thing. Otherwise, I'd just buy FPS games every few months. And I seriously don't want to discuss the monthly sub. is just for maintenance crap. The free issue precedent was set long ago.
Even if they do the graphics update or content update. It will still be mid March before it is dropped. Testing and no updates during a event will see to that.
I'm a firm believer in TANSTAAFL. I also believe that noone gives away anything they believe has value and for which some sort of remuneration can be had. It can take an immediate form: Paying for your gasoline at the pump. A more lengthy process: Drug dealing. The first taste is free. After you're hooked, it costs you. Or a more amorphous form: The girl who finally gives it up with the expectation of a ring and a house with a white picket fence. (Yeah, this is a somewhat old reference. Again, deal with it)
If one assumes that the new content and the graphics update were initially to be in GR, the fact that they are now "giving" one of them away, does not bode well.
The obvious conclusion one could make is that NC now believes that GR will not sell well enough (or bring in enough new subs.) to cover the costs of marketing, manufacturing, and distributing. Therefore, they will just unbundle the various pieces of GR and push them out in various "free" issues.
Of course this is pure spectulation and there are too many unknowns to begin trumpeting about anything...
/loose the hounds!

GP, you've got a new bete noire!

Anyway, to the point: if Ultra mode and "new content" is being pulled out of GR ahead of time to quell the unwashed masses, then yeah, that's not good. I don't have that feeling though... is my blessed naivete coming back?

Well, I took this all as them being goofy and joking around (I do like how they do their in-character voices... they fit altogether too well and make me laugh). I guess I should hope that this is for real now, otherwise people are going to be ticked? I do wish they would make an official announcement so we know for sure. Hasn't speculation bitten them enough already?
And dang, Flux, I just teamed with you last night. Is this what I get in response, more dhoom? If this all is for real, it may be them recognizing that "hey, we should put out something before GR, it's been awhile since the last issue," rather than lifting something OUT of GR (and even if they did, they might put something else in to replace it, for all we know). I certainly don't see it as a comment on GR as an expansion. Put away the tinfoil hat!
So, I'm all for more content... nifty graphics, meh, I can wait. To which evil overlord do I bow for more content?

They still can when people are talking about things currently in-game. Most of the heated threads right now are about future things they can't discuss (not to mention that they're quite busy).
That's actually another reason I want GR to get here... I do think more sets could use a bit of tweaking from Castle, but I know he isn't going to touch them until that GR stuff is done. Kind of a long hiatus for some of that stuff, even though there aren't any REALLY unbalanced ATs out there (mostly just some powersets that need some adjusting).

Hearing everyone blame everything on marketing makes me want to quit school.
For the chance at more content before GR!
