That helmet is badass.

I got Wasteland Justice and Agent Eclipse for my new Dual Pistoleros this week.

Now that me and Voo are on board, people will be begging to join the next Isos run!

But I want access to all of them on Victory so I can be of use to the community? Need a Fire Tank? You're covered! Need an awesome Kheld or Warshade? No problem! Need a gimp scrapper for faultout bait? I'm your man!

Yeah, I'm already reconsidering. Thinking of Dark or Kinetics right now. Ooh... or how about Storm?

Done and done!

Now I just need to buy some more slots on Victory and roll up my toon.

I think Trenchcoats are the fashion statement of the moment. Whether you're an Old West gunsligner, or a hacker trapped in a virtual reality or just a plain ol' Hard Boiled Hong Kong Supercop the trench looks good when you're spinning around dispensing jusice from the smoking barrels of two pistols.

AP was lousy with pistoleros, and later in the night they were spilling over into KR.

I didn't notice the redraw so much... seemed pretty snappy when I switched back to the guns from a Vet power or my Subdue.

Dual Pistols are really sweet, Viv. You don't want to wait for this.

Do it. Doooooooo eeeeeeet!

That's cool. I'm going to focus on my new DP toon and possibly work on some in the 30s range.

This is my sincere hope.

Who says that dev-made missions are unrealistic? Why would anyone think that? This is something that other games do all the time.

I never said they have given us nothing. I specified a subset of content that has been lacking compared with other content.

What content people want is completely subjective. Some people hate that devs spent time on walking, others can't live without it. Some people think too much time is spent on costumes, other people not enough. Some people think too much work is put into the MA, others think not enough.

Can we objectively say that the devs have worked their ***** off over the last year? Sure! But if most of what they did is irrelevant to my playstyle, then it's reasonable for me to say I think the devs should focus their attention elsewhere.

Not sure where this came from. When did I say or imply that I was embarrassed?

However one defines content, the fact remains that it's reasonable to debate how Paragon should allocate resources. Their job is to make sure people keep subscribing to the game, and if they spend 90% of their time on something only 10% of the players want, eventually it's going to catch up with them.

On a side note, I think the reason people complain about the MA is because people are ignoring regular content in favor of power-leveling, not because they are using the MA as it was intended.

People are complaining about the lack of content as I describe it because they honestly want more content! Now, the reason the devs have not been focused on content may be because any work they do on it is going into GR. Most apologists don't seem to be making this argument, however. Instead, they prefer to ridicule anyone who doesn't think that everything the devs have given us over the past 18 months has been Pure Gold.

I think the OP articulated his point poorly, and I may not even be defending what his actual point was, but the response to this thread makes our community look like a bunch of jerks, and I know that's not the case. We should be able to agree to disagree on this stuff, since it's mostly subjective anyway.

Hey, if you were running a RWZ XP train I'd join up...

Obviously if you enjoy MA content, then more power to you. I disagree with your assertion that creating the MA allows the devs to pump out virtually content free QoL updates for a year and a half.

Neither of us have the numbers to show how many people are using the MA versus Dev-made content, so this point devolves into a "he said, she said" argument.

So, what, a grand total of eight arcs (I think Daed and Arl have two each), one new TF, one new SF, and a reworked TF... this is supposed to be almost a year and a half of content?

Obviously the MA was supposed to play a bigger role in providing new content. At the outset I was very excited for the player-developed content, but I found that the vast majority of it was either mediocre or farm-bait. Every once in a while I would find a great arc, but they were few and far between. By now I imagine there is a decent amount of truly good content on the MA, but the people I usually team with aren't that interested, and I prefer teaming to solo play.

My hope is that GR will get us back on the right track as far as content goes. I don't think it's helpful to label everyone who is asking for more content as a whiny DOOMer, even if the OP in this case came across as a whiny DOOMer.

I took Perfection for the regen, not for the recovery (3 slotted with Health). I took Stamina, but only because I was going to take health anyway and it's just one more power. With all the toggles I run (4 WP ones plus Tough plus FA), I need all the end I can get. And yes, QR is three slotted...
