PAX East Premiere - Issue 20 Teaser Trailer Discussion

I see what looks to be a new jetpack at 0:37. Is that a new costume part? Back options, finally? At first I thought it was that fancy jetpack you pay $5 for, but the same model shows up again at 0:44 and it looks to be a different color. Am I imagining things? Or did they just use an obscure temp power twice in this video for some reason?

From the looks of it, same obscure temp power twice. Looking at it, you're just getting a different angle in different lighting @0:44

Well done on slagging off a WHOLE cummunity of players. Here's hoping you stay in your little corner of the world and don't make any alts on OUR servers.

Oh wait, I doubt you will as it's CLEARLY a dead place to be.

Bring on the zombies I say :P
We've been secretely preparing for this moment for years now, and finally the time has come. Come one, come all, come on in and let's show them how it's supposed to be done (and where the history comes from. )

Here's a few swedish letters to distract the americans while we take over the servers: åäö!


j/k, but this is seriously exciting news. It's gonna be great to have a few more ppl online during the times I play as well.

So with the servers being merged, how will this affect NA / EU only serial codes? Can my NA account now use EU codes?

Fixed that for you. You wont have to worry about the serials because the NA and EU servers will show up together.

How i would have done the trailer.

Start off like how the TF starts, INSIDE the ship. Make it seem all peacefull then show the Warwalkers land on the ship.

That'ld be a better opening


@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

Well, I'll be one of the first to welcome our European friends to Virtue. Looking forward to rolling a couple characters on Union someday.

*raises a pint*

Cheers!

I wonder how that will also affect the NCSoft store? Like maybe they'll make it so that there's just one page for the products, and you can choose which currency to pay in, instead of having an American store page and a Euro store page?

I doubt it; the NCsoft store uses the visitor's IP to determine what products are displayed for their region (which in my case, are none: can't buy COH, can't buy the boosters from their page).

Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!

Way to go, offend the whole EU population why don't you?


As for the server list merge....YAY! Finally have other place to move my alts to

Excited about the server merge with our brothers and sisters over in Europe! Long time in the waiting, and I am definitely interested in teaming and enjoying TFs/SFs, etc with all of them. *breaks out old German and French text books to brush up on my language skills*

The video....meh. In my opinion, The visualizations could have been a lot better; instead of segmented imagery of what is in Issue 20, it wouldn't hurt if the video's flow walked through the features with more purpose than a random spewing.

Once again, this is why Dark Respite should be doing these. She has better flow, uses text to identify key issue aspects, and draws you in. Using the same music as what's been used in Going Rogue release is ok, but, come on, if you want to make this an anniversary-level issue, 'wow' us with the video; don't meander through a few spotted images with no flow. Seems like the same formula seen in too many of these videos of late. Wouldn't hurt to add a little more pizzazz to it.

Video length was too short at well.

Question was can we now use EU serial codes (Boosters, CCs) on NA accounts. Answer is no.

Thanks for answerin' nothin' there brother.

It is a teaser, so video length doesn't bother me. But it needs more flair to be honest if you want attract new players, or ex players. If you were to change the Issue 20 lettering to Issue 19 in this video, no one would blink.
