Discussion: Issue 19 Launch Update
I want to add my support to the development team for:
A) Acknowledging and announcing the existence of the showstopping bugs.
B) Giving a time frame of when we can at least NOT EXPECT it to go live (waiting until after Thanksgiving)
C) Working so darn hard to give us a new release with as few inconveniences (ongoing bugs and such) as possible
D) Providing our playerbase with the best MMORPG available BAR NONE!

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Oh Well I hope you hard working devs have a super awesome holiday and maybe, just maybe while you lay around after the massive feast, suffering Turkynosis, the solution to the problem will come to you.
Any plans on plugging a few of these AE exploits? Or are these just to keep running untill I19 gets released?
Before eveyone at Paragon takes off before the weekend, can one of you start a Dom bug and Kheld bug thread in the Open Beta bug section. I think giving the community a place to find just basic info about the bug would help cut down on the snipping that gonna break out on the boards between the people who don't know what the bug is (and therefore aren't gonna think it's that big of an issue) and other people who mistake people's ignorance of the problem as a sign of them being evil selfish jerks. I'm a big fan of the nerdrage that breaks out on this board, but I prefer the nerdrage sticks to things like Corporate Conspiracies and Origins.
"Our goal is to release Issue 19: Alpha Strike! as soon as we can after the Thanksgiving Holidays (November 25th through November 28th). "
Can someone clear this up for me? will issue 19 be released between the 25th to the 28th november or is that the duration of the thanksgiving holiday, and it will be released after that? |

Thanks for the update. Communication is always good. I imagine you guys are every bit as disappointed as we are, likely more so, that launch's not happening this week. Best thing we can do now as players is to stay off your back about it and keep feeding you guys info about the bugs to give you guys the best chance of squashing them quickly. Best of luck and have a good Thanksgiving.
If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.
Thank you for the update (not to mention working on the bugs). At this point, I can make my plans for Alpha strike/i19 accordingly and get back to enjoying Going Rogue/i18.
P.S. For obvious reasons, everyone is hoping for a release date of 11/30 or 12/2, not the Tuesday of the week following, a.k.a. The Day that Will Live Forever in MMORPG Infamy.
Thank you, War Witch. You rock, and your words are a panacea to my nerdrage.
I will point out that one post still doesn't qualify as a conversation, but since you specifically covered a number of bullet points that I've been raising in posts and PMs, THANK YOU.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
As other have said, thanks for the update. Much appreciated.
I'm a little bummed I won't get to play the new content over the holiday, but glad I will be able to play my two Khelds without issue.
Happy Turkey Day, Paragon peeps.

I19 Open Beta: Bugs - Inherent Powers and Forms
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...40#post3327740
Is this what you're wanting/needing? Almost? Its only Kheld, though, so I guess "almost but not quite."
I19 Open Beta: Bugs - Inherent Powers and Forms http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...40#post3327740 |
Powers and Forms means Khelds.
Kheldian form powers and Domination are not working for a lot of beta testers.
Anyway, much as I was looking forward to respeccing this weekend and kicking butt on the Apex and Tin Mage TFs next week during my break, I'll live. |
I also agree that any update that inadvertently cripples or disables one or more AT's definitely needs to wait for release until they are fixed.
Ty, W W!
Prometheus: ... so what I told you was true, from a certain point of view.
Me: From a certain point of view?
Prometheus: You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on your point of view.
Me: You're right about that. Power Blast is very pretty from a certain point of view. But that point of view is not head-on. <Kaboom> - Arcanaville.
I think I said something to this effect last night on Triumph. Were you listen to me again theOcho?
Actually, take your time and get it right the first time. Thanks for the update.
I really am surprised the Kheldian bug is still there. It's been reported since the start of closed beta...

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Thanks for updating us, and for not pushing the issue live with a bug that nasty left unresolved!
Please try my custom mission arcs!
Legacy of a Rogue (ID 459586, Entry for Dr. Aeon's Third Challenge)
Death for Dollars! (ID 1050)
Dr. Duplicate's Dastardly Dare (ID 1218)
Win the Past, Own the Future (ID 1429)
Though I'm not happy this happened--it would have been great to have the new issue out in time for the TG weekend--this actually works better for me. My second account gets City Traveler on 11/27, so I'll be able to respec travel powers and for the Fitness change at the same time.

Thanks for keeping us up to date! It's an understandable and reasonable delay. Of course, knowing that I19 will come after Thanksgiving I'm having the overwhelming urge to fight incarnate turkeys....
WW, thanks for the update, and the emphasis on quality control.

Extremely Lame. But I've already waited 3 months since GR released, another two weeks won't kill me if it is done right.
