I think they should have at least given one of the 4 new sets to non GR buyers.
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Hey, GP: There's your new content: Tip Missions and CoP.
Definitely not too exciting unless you're getting GR.

Eh? You all were expecting I18 to be huge? There was a minor issue release with CoV, too. Going Rogue was always going to be the big source of new stuff this summer. Hopefully I19 won't be too distant this fall... I'm keen on exploring all the new endgame content.
Anyway, Cathedral of Pain might be good, if it isn't too hard to wrangle a group together. Large group content generally seems to be a pain, though. The Tip missions sound kind of interesting as a feature. Nothing too huge, but they could be fun (especially if they're a little more involved than newspapers/radios).

I was one of the people who did not get CoV at launch, and for those of you that remember, that meant I did not get all the cross-over costume options, I did not get access to bases (that's when those were introduced), and of course did not get to participate in any of the new content except the PVP zones. It sucks, but it also makes sense. I shouldn't get new content in Halo 3 if I don't go buy the new game.
GR isn't an issue, it was never presented as an issue, it is an expansion. Issue 18 is not big, but it's bigger then I expected. CoP was a surprise to me, and I'm looking forward to the new challenge. People who do not get the expansion get a heck of a lot more content then if they didnt get CoV at release.

I never did the trial, but I do know that the guide says you see Rularuu himself when you enter the Cathedral, not one of his seven aspects.
Last I heard, they were completely revamping CoP... not just fixing the exploit, removing IoPs, and giving it back to us 4 years later :[

I remember being on a run of CoP back on Beta WAAAAAAAAY back then. I'll have to check my chat logs to see if I still have a copy of that day.

the last time the CoP was up the end boss was Aspect of Rularuu, but that was just a renamed Ruladak.
It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.
:[ that's retarded (just found that on the wiki page, too, naturally). I was around then, but still playing on dial-up... so... not really playing much at all.
Given that there are 4 other Aspects of him that are unused, I figured when they revamped the Trial they'd actually use them all for a change.
But no... it's still the same. Seems kinda lame, too, honestly...

Personally, I don't mind that it seems to have been moved away from base raiding. I'm probably never going to get that into PvP and would rather see a unique encounter like this go for PvE. Mean, I know, but if they were going to keep it with PvP, they would want to keep working on the tweaks to that stuff first, which would push the CoP back farther, etc.
MG, you need to stop breaking the NDA... NCSoft doesn't like that!

You know, if they were going to release I18 info at this point, you would think they would have waited to announce the market stuff until now. That would have spruced this message up for a lot of people.
Or were there leaks from Closed Beta that they were trying to address?

They should try to maximize sales on the expansion.
Keep it in the paid expansion, make some money to keep those programmers so we can continue to get cool new stuff and perhaps even a CoH2.

Do you remember i6? The one that came out with CoV? Considering this issue will be released at the same time as GR it's much more than I would have expected. And yes, they are trying to get people to buy GR. NCSoft is a business. That's what businesses do.

There are four other Aspects available, and Aloore would make the most sense (Being the closest copy of Rularuu himself), and that he guards the palace himself.
It was my hope at least that the trial would be a little longer and more involved with these Aspects and their respective areas.
As far as my not doing it yet, why should I have to to judge it? I can read a process and determine if I like it or not, it's not unrealistic. Doing the same thing twice, then pounding on the Aspect for < 1 minute, doesn't seem very epic.
They call it hard, I call it a temp power fest. To each his own though, I'm still gonna run the thing, but so far it's meh in my book.

I know that's the reason why they did it, that's not the issue. The issue is I18 is, for lack of a better word, "dry". Consider that players that are currently playing CoX could easily go somewhere else. If it were me I'd at least give them 1 of the new sets, or let them switch sides (entrance to Paragon or R.I. only).|
