I just really hope the devs have finally realized that adding the same content over and over causes many to burn out. A 7 year old game should have more variety than this one. I was hoping we would see quicker result but oh well. I guess it might be time to break until i20.

The last 2 boosters have been very poor. They charge a lot for not much. I really hope this one is worth it. I have been passing on the last bunch because of the lack of costume pieces and poor quality.

Hoping they add the minotaur head, some hand pieces, feet, lower and upper torso. I REALLY hope you can customize the heads a bit as well by adding things (glasses, masks etc).

Some very nice rewards for the 7th year. Much thanks to the powers that be for this one.

Some great points. For me it's the usual:

ITF quality TFs/SFs. The story makes some sense. It flows decently with the missions. It isn't unnecessarily complicated. The big points: fairly unique maps for the missions and an enemy group not found in most areas of the game. It is a fairly unique adventure and they did a good job putting it together. Future TFs should be like that (no need for an entire zone, just the TF itself). Have these range different levels. Put them in a co-op zone. Have a couple new 15+ TFs in RWZ. Put one in Cim maybe. Maybe even a fun one in the D so ALL factions can jump in (Praetoria is definitely loosing it's shine and is starting to feel like a grind).

The old blue side TFs are pretty horrid (the new Posi is a nice change). I would rather see this instead of new arcs. I know the TFs are more work but look at the mileage they still get out of the ITF. That was added in i12. We have tons of arcs so adding those at a much reduced rate doesn't bother me.

I would also enjoy a revamped costume creator. It's still great but can be improved in so many ways. Also, if you're selling boosters...please...make them decent with more costume pieces. Several are really lacking and the last two were little more than a cash grab (I know some like them but not worth the $). That kind of value is somewhat...Cryptic

Lastly, some NEW innovations in our game play. Add some missions or whatever that are completely unique from what we have. There are several new twists you can put in there. The Praetoria stuff is cool but not much of a departure from what we have in the rest of the game. The talk to NPCs/decisions would be much better if our choices mattered when speaking with many of them (Prae and other missions as well). If our choices branched us in a different road then cool. As it stands now, the results are often the same.

I actually thought a lot of this game also doesn't have a very super hero/comic feel to it. A large number of your enemies are more military than supers (5th, Arachnos, Clockwork, Cimerorans etc). Nothing wrong with them but the features should be supers. Where's the super cool looking, super foe like Galactus, Dr. Doom etc. The look and feel of many of the signature characters is underwhelming. It might help if they had Noble Savage draw some wild pics and put the main characters in a who's who on this site. All of the named characters etc.

I also think the name issue is a problem here. Many lame names. Need to do a purge of unused names.

Also, to the OP, if you don't run into many players then maybe join a teaming channel. Lists are in the server forums. I find this game has a lot of players and don't have too many problems finding teams. Having said that, Praetoria is getting to be a bit of a ghost town but meh...one day the devs will learn

I have been in the D and taking some runs with those missions. Sadly, Praetoria has become a grind for me. I have stopped making toons there.

I think the devs made a mistake by separating the players...again. It seems they have this idea that we enjoy not being able to take our toons all over the place lol. Seriously, now we are stuck in Praetoria until level 20. Not much fun. Same old, same old. One day they may add something new and fun but I am not holding my breath. Maybe even a TF or something.

Honestly, I think 3 zones was a mistake for GR. I hope 20-50 is 2 zoned tops. Use the resources to add things to do instead of giving us vast territory to run around in.

I don't get why people expect to solo in an MMO. Makes no sense. Having said that, some solo content is cool. I think we have lots. I don't think epic/end-game content should be completely soloable. You want to unlock great new powers but want to be able to do it on your own? Nah. Pass. Good riddance to the people that like to solo and whine when they can't do it all the time. Chances are good we were never teaming anyway so you won't be missed (by me, anyway ).

Make the end game stuff mostly teaming with a touch of solo play. Might be the best compromise in an MMO.

Glad to hear about this Letter in the process but will it be any different? Even in this first address we are getting vague hints etc. What's the point of that? Honestly, I just find them annoying. If you guys are so secretive that you can't even tell us the theme of the next booster then I don't know if there is much point to this letter.

It might help if the letter told us a direction or something concrete in regards to direction. Another big help might be if they put up a poll to vote on certain ideas that may be added to game. At least then you would get a better idea of what players are looking for.

I think someone noted earlier there seems to be a huge disconnect from the players by the devs (maybe not huge but a disconnect). I tend to agree. For a few years now we have been told something BIG is coming (AE was one feature and Going Rogue was another). AE is a great feature but when you look at the time and effort spent on it...maybe not so great. GR is nice and all but I would have taken an expansion pack that was 5 TFs (at the ITF caliber with new innovations) over 2 new zones. I liked a lot of aspects of GR and it is a definite improvement but just a slightly new twist on what we've been doing for several years now.

Anyway, it is nice to hear we are supposedly getting some updates/info but I doubt we'll get and real news via this address. More of the same old cryptic clues but now in handy new letter format.

I don't think you should touch anyone's level 50 toon for a while....or other higher level toons. Having said that, this game is almost 7. So, I say if someone has been gone 5 years or more then all toons under level 40 should have their names released. If anyone is gone over 2 years then all of their toons, under level 20, have their names released. Other than that, the policy seems ok.

I hope the devs recognize the name list is finite and we need some help here. Also, there are not a ton of names out there. I want to have somewhat iconic names and that is tough these days. Anyone suggesting names are not an issue is welcome to their opinion. I completely disagree with them.

I thought it'd be nice to give us a list of ideas they might have cooking and get our feedback (maybe like that survey they did a couple years ago).

Anyway, it would be nice to have a state of game update. It seems many other games provide this.

I do like this event but another month of it might be a bit too much. Nice gesture by the devs and all but another week or two would have been sufficient.

I think the best part of a short duration is causing players to come out and play in a small time frame/window of opportunity. More the merrier!

I bid 400 Quatloos.

Does anyone know if we can get the GR version where you get those special enhancements? I believe the ones that work 1-20? I think it was a Gamestop exclusive from what I remember...?
