It's even dumber than that, because we're actually going to get to see that portal to Primal Earth 
The orignal GR trailer also shows an incorrect picture of Nova Praetoria on the viewing screen at 0:56, plus other rage-inducing acts of dishonesty such as Tyrant ordering the invasion while wearing his armor, when the Apex TF trailer now shows him doing it in his civilian clothes, plus the red banners beside his tower are nowhere to be seen.

The lie of Maelstrom being present at the launch of the invasion is also another one of Paragon Studios' vicious tricks.

If you go back to the beginning of my posts about this, I think you will find there is very little emotion involved. I did not like the falsehood and said it, then clarified why to another poster. I am not sorry though that being lied to pisses me off. It's a part of life I deal with. Then in stepped GG who, as usual, exaggerated most of the things being said to make it sound like I was being unreasonable. Honestly, I do not understand how wanting to NOT be lied to is unreasonable. If, however, it doesn't bother you (the proverbial you, not you directly) then good for you I guess.

There is a scene in the trailer that is part of the "other" TF we are ALSO getting the SAME issue for FREE, and you are still upset because it wasn't in a trailer for its own TF? ... really? I personally don't see what the problem is. Think of it as a "Counterpart sneak peak" if it's THAT important. I mean, how was ANY of that a "criticism"? It seemed, if anything, like a trollish nitpick. Ohnoz! This trailer for the game that I play has scenes from another Task Force that I am also getting for free ... but the title said I was only going to see ONE of these said Task Forces! I am SO angry right now!! Grrrr! *punches wall* ... |

Such a mean thing to say. It's like you can't wait to misunderstand someone or pick a fight with this "your kind"
The wait for i19 is bad enough, but, do we really need to resort to this type of berating for kicks? That makes you look like ...blegh...
I know I have a whacked out sense of humor and it can put people out... but something like that coming from you GG , That is so... mean spirited...
Seriously... go to anti bully school or something.

Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.

Just about every trailer in gaming history does what that trailer does--splicing together different parts of content.
By your logic every game trailer in the history of mmos lied to it's users.
Also didn't someone from PS basically STATE outright that they put it in there cause they thought it was cool. If they were really trying to be dishonest. then why on earth would they admit that outright?
Again, much ado about nothing.

Geez GG... I understand you guys don't agree, but what an attack of opinion... I like ya GG, but you lost a little respect from me on this argument... (Not sure if that matters for ya or not, but ya did...) He felt like he'd been lied to and you felt like he hadn't. Name calling and stereotyping was not necessary. Some people are more affected when they feel like they've been lied to than others. Regardless of whether he just "felt" lied to or whether he really was lied to is irrelevant, but your actions and name calling was wrong. Just plain wrong... Even if you were "right" in this argument, your actions were still "wrong"... 
lol, personally... I didn't see the need for two trailers (possibly three) that all cover the same general thing; especially in such a short window. The main i19 trailer should've (and did to an extent) overviewed both TFs and the Incarnate System; leaving details for non-trailer, 'breakdown'/commentary vids (like they used to do).
The second trailer, IMO, was redundant and not worth arguing over.
[Don't get me wrong, I liked both vids... I just felt I was watching the same thing twice]
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
Well regardless of what aspects of the game were in the trailer, let's all just agree that it was awesome and that hopefully we all get to play with I19 soon!
Unless of course you didn't think it was awesome.

- Found this to be a very interesting point coming from you. One of your sources of embaressment was telling a potential new player that in fact one of those scenes was not true, but from another TF.| You mean you would prefer the standard TF opening? A window with a lot of written storyline? Would have looked real good at the opening of the trailer, don't you think? I pretty much figured that was a gimmick to cover up one of the shortcomings of this game. |
Yet, you seem to be completely ok showing a person (who has never seen the game) the intro, which looks really cool and actually is not ever part of the game.
It would seem the intro (which you are ok with) is SIGNIFICANTLY more of an issue of "bait and switch" then having a scene from a different part of the game you can play.
Maybe you're just confused on your own opinion.

I'd think it might be the Praetorian version of the hydra. More similiar to the one in greek mythology.

The Primal Earth Hydra was created by the Rikti, and with no Rikti in Praetoria, I'm not sure of there'd be a Praetorian Hydra.

Although if the Praetorians wanted to add to the chaos they might try to sic the Primal Earth Hydra on the city to keep folks busy...maybe using Reese's Pieces to lure him/it/her out? |

....and i thought they (the Rikti) kidnapped it and used it was a weapon. Don't you go to their world in a Portal Corp mish?
Day of launch I will be running the new TFs all day if u want on send a tell to @.KnG for a invite.
Still waiting for the Tin Mage TF Trailer (that includes bits of the Apex TF) so I may continue to assess the potential awesomeness of I-19.
