I love the trailer of course now I am wondering when issue 21 will be released. (or at least open beta so I can drool while playing and stuff)
Oh, now THAT was spiffy... First Ward looks like a combination of "Escape from New York" meets the Everglades... and Time Manipulation - WANT!

My first thought is -- I need to replace my 8800gt before issue 21.....
It looks sharp though...

Okay, yeah ... the Seed of Hamidon is HUGE. O_O
And that giant monster that was being fought in the Underground trial -- was that Praetorian Hami? OMG IT'S BIPEDAL!!!

So those two GMs we've seen aren't even the REAL Praetorian Hami?!|

awesome trailer!
But now i must say that at first i was a bit "meh" about time manipulation but that showing off of the power just then made even me go "oh wow ".
WANT NOW! 
From the looks of it first ward looks huge. Also the tutorials GM with the meteors falling down in front of him looked great 
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Time Manipulation looks quite generic.
Little sad the regular Praetorian DE seem to be just palette swapped Primal DE... but the Avatar and Seed make up for it 
Time Manipulation looks sweet! Wish I knew what exactly it was doing in the trailer.
To me, it just looks like a bunch of flash and show. I'll reserve judgement for when I can actually -experience- the content before deciding.
The track record so far for releases isn't inspiring. NEW ISSUE!! THIS'LL BE IN IT!! Then the reality. "Oh, we split the release." Not to mention new releases being buggy as all getout and breaking certain other parts of the game I already liked, but now have to wait till a fix is implemented.
I hope for the best, but plan for the worst. Just being realistic and not blinded by colorful and showy screenshots and videos.
Yall Devs played my 'girls w/guns' arc, didn't you. 
Liked the mage-gunners/bullet-witches. (need firearms as an alternate animation option for all offensive projectile powers)
Liked the new PPD (spray?) cannons
Infected? Clockwork
Hami Avatar and air-ship
Liked the look of the Underground
First Ward zone looks good
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
Bit zippy, but I understand it's a teaser.
Carnival of Light, Infected Clockwork, new TEST units and Arcane Resistance, along with Praet DE? So. Damn. COOL. The new maps look freaking ACE.
So, this is the bar being set for the revamps of the rest of the game, right? Because dear god is this stuff making the old content look terribad...

I personally don't like this trailer at all. It shows a lot of stuff but doesn't really show anything. I do like the Praetorian Hamidon Avatar/Seed. Makes you wonder what the real Praetorian Hamidon looks like :O

I am pretty sure that is what a good trailer does. I loathe trailers that show you all the good stuff and leave nothing for the actual product to show me.

Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

Then why were there Resistance members with glowing orange runes on their armour there? |

CoL is its own entity that happens to be allied to the Resistance afaik, given Coles stranglehold on magic. And, hey, what better way to bypass high tech armour with magic bullets?

Very nice, the story looks quite tasty and I am looking forward to the new Sets!

I agree, that alone will turn me off to a movie.

Did I see a character shooting fire blasts with a wand?
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be
