My favorite part has to be the cutscenes at Adair's arc and the second half of Positron's Task Force. Those are DRAMA. (And now supposedly there's music in them as well? Must go find!)

lemme explain it for you tow.
this has nothing to do with new emotes,costumes or standing in atlas with a 50 or loving the devs for everything they do.this is about pushing a huge bugged out issue before it was ready and using beta players who dont do enough testing.
now that they are working overtime and new patches like todays to fix the garbage they put out i think it shows you exactly why i have a right to be upset and angry in paying for 2 subs and a preorder and not being able to play without crashing every hour.
im also upset about the "techs" telling me to play in safe mode as a solution.im more upset about the hotfix,lag,ati,nividia,crashes and bugs. not to mention that the market is down. server tokens are down and basically this game is running at only half strength. now you might not have any issues but that doesnt mean i dont have a right to complain or "whine" about it.
as one of the ones WITH crashing im not happy with the work the devs are doing and as a paid costumer i have EVERY right to complain. so stop harrassing me..thank you
get it now or you still confused?

Well, when you put a bit more effort to explain, yes, it's much easier to understand. Run-on sentences don't help, and I'm not saying this to be a dick. I literally could not comprehend the idea of your previous post.|

Yes, you have every right to complain. I'd say you're doing more than your fair share. I don't believe you have every right to resort to hyperbole and exaggeration, though, because I honestly don't see any of the problems you mention, bar the Market outage, and even that doesn't seem like too big of a problem.
Every Issue has people crashing, every issue has people with graphic corruption. It's a fact of life. It sucks that it had to be you this time around, believe me. I've been on the wrong side of a few of these, and I was never very pleased. But the most I can say is give it time. It'll get fixed.
To be bluntly honest, however, I'd rather have the new Issue for myself and the people who can run it sooner than have the Issue delayed for however long it takes to make it so no-one will ever have issues with it at all. Even if an early release ends up boning ME, then them's the breaks. I'd still sooner see the game keep some pace over sitting around until no-one cares about the new stuff anymore.
And again - it was the anniversary. They had a hard deadline. No way around it.

My favorite part of I17 is the Recovery Serum temp power. Pre-Stamina that thing is worth its weight in gold.

Yes, the input lag thing ground me to a halt. A quick question asked on VU and I was pointed to the forum thread with the answer. A few minutes later and all was well.
The new emotes were fun to play with while I bounced around Boomtown with my 4yo on my lap using /e jackhammer and /e picklock to "fix the broken cars".

What my problem was: I could release the movement keys and they would act as if I had pressed them for at least twice as long as I had, resulting in bizarre movement patterns.|

Apparently, this was related to my ATI videocard. Why? I've no idea.
The solution for my particular problem was here:

Your problem may be different.
Hmm - wish they had one of those for nVidia, as I just started getting this issue.
Need to look at further. Hasn't been a big deal so far.
Ah, if it's an Ati thing then it shouldn't affect me, as I'm running n-vidia. It just seemed to me like my mouse look would lag slightly behind what I ordered it to do, but it may be the case that it went AHEAD of what I wanted. See, I'd played Assassin's Creed 2 before that, and that both lagged and had a REALLY slow mouse, so I got used to wide, sweeping turn, and in City of Heroes, that spins you around twice with sensitivity set to 200%

The music is totally awesome - the Jenni Adair cutscene music sounds like strings and horns - very short and simple, but very effective - and the Dr. V cutscene starts off with this really awesome sort of gothic sounding chanting, and then becomes more modern, but still sinister.

Actually, we were tesing the heck out of it, closed and open beta - but the main things being focused on were Ultra Mode and Demon Summoning, along with the new arcs, and there were a lot fo tweaks made to them based on our feedback.|

The redesigned WW UI did get tested, but as no one spotted the stacking bug, it's quite possible it only appeared once the patch went live.

Everyone has the right to have wahtever opinion they like about the game and I17 - but there are ways of stating your opinion that would make it come accross better.
@Golden Girl

says you..
keeping quiet doesnt solve nor help. something im sure your aware of or at least i hope you can understand
and i unlike you would have rathered waited then to rush anything.so as your opinion is to rush it out to make a deadline that clearly it wasnt ready for mine isnt.this is a clear result on not trying hard enough to fix the things by a certain date.which they clearly have said is why they dont like to do in the first place then did anyways.
if you are a closed beta tester i see why this game is the way it is.thanks it does explain alot.so unless you can actually be helpful in getting my 45 dollars back your wasting your time and mine and i really could care aless about your opinions. stop harrassing me for the sake of listening to yourself.
oh and tow im not trying to be a dick either...but dont tell me i dont have a right to complain nor ***** when i just paid 45 dollars this week for a non working game. so if you and gg wanna harrass me then maybe you do need to step back and heed your own advice.
and gg it was nice when you wenrnt here tellnig everyone how wrong they were and you so right..i see by your posts it wont be much longer till you go back on it..happy banning to ya!
With all due respect, there were dozens of hard-working, intelligent, and thorough players participating in closed beta (and exponentially more in open beta). The CB forums had a great deal of information of players tracking problems, providing solutions, giving problem instances, and you have NO idea how many problems were FIXED before this issue went live. The rednames were engaged in a constant dialogue with us of how to fix things (and not just technical stuff, but also content, mission placement, and other stuff to make the game more enjoyable).
If you've got a grudge against GG, that's your call. But don't diss the entire CB community just because you may or may not have been a part of it, and we didn't catch every little problem that reared its head. To the best of my knowledge, the Auction house bug/error/whatever did not make its presence known during the beta, ergo none of us caught it.
No one is MAKING you stay here. That's not me telling you or anyone else to leave, but do not put the onus of your remaining in this game, and continuing to pay for it, on anyone but yourself. It's your money, it's your time, and it's your choice whether you stay here. Others have left because their principles wouldn't allow them to stay - you can take that road too if you want. Or you can stay the course, and continue to submit bug reports, work with the GMs and customer support, and try to contribute to the overall improvement of the game you pay for.
And that's all I'm going to say about that.

And while we're on the subject of quoting, could you kindly quote where you were promised a working game NOW when you bought a pre-purchase for an expansion that's not due for months. Because I have serious doubts you're going to find that. Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning are part of Going Rogue. Their being released early is a perk. Treat it as such.
Look, dude. You can complain all you want, but don't be a dick about it. Because despite not trying to be, YOU ARE. You exaggerate, you insult, you're rude, you're crass, you're inconsiderate and you're basically ventilating your moth. You don't like the new Issue. WE GET IT! Now answer me this - are you not going to be satisfied until the rest of us are miserable and bitter as you are? Because that's the only thing you're achieving here. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Live bugs are a fact of life with any MMO, period. There are bugs that will only develop when you have a few thousand players (or even several hundred) using the system. They suck for those affected, absolutely, but they are relatively short and its totally RANDOM who gets hit with it and who doesn't. Also, with any patch, no matter the size, it takes TIME to optimize the code on the live server, thats just a fact of coding.|

Blaming the CB testers is... well.. childish. The core people who are routine CBs are VERY concise and methodical in their testing. Do they catch every bug? No, no one can. But I can assure you that without them, any issue would be a flat out disaster.
Oh.. and I must comment on your fallacy- you did NOT pay $45 to play an unplayable game. You paid $45 to play an expansion that will be released in 3 months. Bugs aside, the ONLY thing that that $45 "entitles" you to in I17 is Dual Pistols & Demon Summoning. THAT is all.

Okay, snarky comment aside, having both the Market and our Globals down are nuisances. I'm biased, since I use both of these features.In the mean time, I'm rotating alts as thier inventory of "Stuff I don't want to vendor for peanuts" gets filled. This is a good way to ensure that they all get thier Anniversary badges this time, and hey, it was time to move them for Day Jobs anyway. I recommend this.
Also: It's not like Global Channels haven't proven to be a fragile thing anyway, having broken multiple times in the past, often during Issue release, IIRC.
I can see why Severe is unhappy, I just feel that he is taking it to a higher level than needed and is expressing it in a way that is not the most effective towards getting solutions. I wish him (and all of us) luck in getting these two popular features back into operation.

As for Servere's complaints, I wouldn't know if he has valid issues or not, since I gave up reading his posts years ago. The atrocious lack of spelling, grammar and punctuation make me feel stupider for having tried to parse whatever it is he's attempting to say.

To be perfectly honest, my favourite part of I17 isn't really part of the Issue itself. My favourite part in practically the last several years is the "All Things Art" thread
