Very nice trailer. Need this to go live asap.

Yes, yes... very nice trailer.... I think...
This really is NOT the sort of thing to watch when you have just woken up to 100 degree weather... feeling like you haven't slept at all...
They were flashing screens so fast I feel like I was the victim of one of the Time Manipulation debuffs...
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
Meh, i still hate i21 because it doesnt give more iSlots...new trial without a reason to run it. So yay! Nothing of interest ftw! Only reason i cant wait or i21 is because it means we are closer to i22 (or maybe i21.5) which means new slots.

As spiffy as this trailer is ... I'm still sure that Samuraiko Productions could knock its socks off without breaking a sweat. I've seen Michelle's videos. Michelle does better work than just a bunch of fast cuts.
So I still stand by my contention that NOT giving Michelle a Beta Invite to make a totally kick ads trailer for 21 (yet) is a mistake on Paragon Studios part.
Although now I want to SEE even more of Time Manipulation getting animated!
And somebody's been watching Nausicaa before getting inspired to do all those floating spores in the Underground Trial!
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
Looking good!

It doesn't matter whether or not I get a beta invite - to be in closed beta means NDA. NDA = no videos til the thing goes into open beta or maybe even live (if stuff is still being worked on right up to the 11th hour).|

I have ALWAYS said that invites to the initial rounds of closed beta should go to those players who are the numbers crunchers, the playtesting veterans, the graphics testers (will this cause migraines - an important thing for me coz I get them too), the lore experts (okay, maybe there I could claim a gimme), and so on. Leandro, Arcanaville, Zombie Man. If I got in and they hadn't, I'd switch with them in a heartbeat. If a zone doesn't WORK, I can't film in it. If a powerset is broken, I can't film it. Make sure this issue WORKS. THEN invite me in to film it.
If that means I don't get in til open beta, and my vid gets debuted when the issue goes live (which usually means everyone's seen it all already), then that's how it is. At least my vid is there for the folks who didn't have the opportunity to participate in the open beta.
*****
As for PS 'supporting' my vid making efforts, no one was more surprised than I was to find my video on the official COH Facebook page... but no one was happier, either. My efforts as a player to showcase and support a game I love are being recognized - same as Antoinette's with ROGUE magazine, or the City of Comics creators, or the PvP Boot Camp folks. That's the best I can hope for.
So... yeah.

I for one will be happy when Michelle (Samuraiko) does do a vid, I have always enjoyed her efforts! I have seen the i21 trailer and I am excited to see what it is all about when they get it going in open beta! YAY CoH!

Incredibly awesome.
Ideally, the tank will die precisely as everyone else starts fighting, allowing aggro to be spread evenly among the blaster. -seebs, "How to Suck at CoH/CoV" Guide

My opinion, but this was not a good trailer. This is possibly becuase they cant reveal alot due to marketing. This is a weak, lazy flyball to center field compared to your other trailers, and the center fielder caught it with one hand (and didn't drop it liek other center fielders have).

Well, we do have a clue as to one of the powers: A TM/Energy Blast character has an aura at his feet while fighting the huge flying hami seed thing. Looks like it might be a PBAoE slow field, though it wouldn't make much sense to have it on while flying 60 feet away from your target...

Time Manipulation is mainly a buff/debuff in the pure sense that it affect allies and foes stats. Not much to see in terms of affects on targets.

Blasting maces!
We already have them in the Mace Mastery PPP. Hope they become a full set for Blasters.

Awesome trailer.
Awesome stuff.
I really cant wait to play all this. This is going to be the best content ever created for this game, both I21 and Freedom.

Teaser Trailer. They never show you much. One that does isn't a teaser anymore.|

I'm not sure which of their "coming soon" videos you think was better than this one. None of them showed much of any one thing, especially if the Issue had a lot of different stuff coming into the game.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
