Paragon is fond of the hide and surprise marketing technique, the players aren't.

Opening a revenue stream it did since prior to SSA's there was no SSA revenue stream, that is not made up mate. I did say that to what degree we will never know, so not really sure what exactly that I wrote you are taking such an exception too?

Yes, chrono shift helps to get to perma PA. Ill/Time is very very strong you will not be disappointed high level.

Ok....It's been on BETA for at least four months. So are they changing the sounds again or what? Not really understanding the delay with this set? Is it coming out this month or not let's end waiting game.

I hope to goodness this is not related to some surprise bunny vanity pet that would really suck nether parts.

No worries mate, I understand you have a good heart concerning things here, it just caught me off guard as very different from your normal posts.

Hmm.....

So you are mad that it does not line up with the movie lore? I have to say I am more than sure the sole purpose of any licensed game like this is not to convey lore to the next generation, the revised movies stand tall for that job.

This is the sesame dance street type treatment to appeal to the young people into that sort of thing. I doubt that restricting the dance songs to lore based stuff etc... would make any sense business wise and that has to be strongly considered as the primary focus here.

It's a built in audience of young and older folks that are into the kinect dance deal, how can they just ignore that revenue stream and be considered being responsible to their stockholders? Serious question.

Happy Pre Birthday. I love you videos Michelle, I think you are very creative.

My central point was good for the game not that it would necessarily draw tens of thousands of new people, maybe just a small bump.

IDK if SSA's have brought more people to the game or as I stated converted more f2p to vip, it was the speculative hope of same. Only the devs know and they are not going to say.

"It was good for the game because it opened the door to a nice new revenue stream in the SSA's. That is good for the game"....Check it did do this, to what degree we will never be told.

"It also opens up a new content tool that can be used to make new stories and expand the lore well beyond its roots into the future. That is good for the game".....Check it did do this.

"It got some excellent free press for making the SSA's and that draws new players that would not have considered COX prior to the comic book episode deal. That is good for the game"....I am going to say check it did do this. The press is undeniable the draws new players part we will never be told.

"I personally think some of the missions and cutscenes were some of the better ones in the game.That is good for the game." Acknowledged as debatable.

"Killing Statesman was a bold and risky decision yes, but it brought a lot more attention to the game than just about any other plot they could have thought up." Check, what other plot would have drawn more attention from the press and how is that not good for the game?

Is this confirmed?

Statesman is dead YAY!.

You are right, they should get started soon if there is going to be a sequel.

Amen.

Having run two toons to 50, a Staff/wp scrapper and a Staff/fire brute I can only think you did not run one during BETA. If you had I think you would number one recognize/acknowledge the AWESOMESAUCE that is Staff fighting, but you would also be chomping at the bit for it too.

First that trial guy sounds like an idiot and I am sure he will find that view more prevalent than people agreeing with that stupid ish.

Next, I am going to say this because I actually like you, get over it mate. I mean really the entire unique for scrappers campaign is beneath the kinds of posts you made prior to embarkation on this crusade.

More endurance is not needed and the entire just throw them "something" has no base/foundation/roots in the things usually needed to make those types of changes.

I don't want to rehash that unique deal I just had to address it since you just keep pounding away at nothing IMHO.

I'm not, but I am sure there are a number of people that are since there is a lot of cat love out there.

It is called protection mode. Your brain takes over and moves the date ahead by a week in order to avoid crushing disappointment if it is not released.

I think the entire keep them blind and dumb tell we "spring it on them" approach is WHACK. But hey it is their marketing team.

Right an option different from the other apples. My point is they all have a different point of emphasis within the melee class and all play differently.
