Yes that is all Arcana said in her last paragraph. With her godly insight into the minds of the developers she has pulled out that due to JFK's speech from years past, about "We do not do these things because they are easy" about politics and life converted it to a game. THEN said after all that solo path is too hard so we will never do it cause we are lazy.

Can you miss the point again entirely next time with more ignorance.

Just as your ignorant, childish, and disrespectful behavior is needed. I have seen you add nothing to this thread.

GG may have not added much content wish, but it tried to lighten the fare of how this thread was going.

Can you put even more hero worship into your comments, because you're really not putting enough heart into it. At least I can add cultural references into my posts for people older than 12

Shorter Aracana: BLAH BLAH BLAH It's just TOO HARD for the Devs BLAH BLAH BLAH. My comment. You: How dare you ignore Aracana's wall of text and just get down to the heart of it! Me: Shenanigans

GG is being just as childish as I am. Not 'lightening' the thread. Report me if you find this offensive

Funny. I guess you point and chuckle at the Special Education students too.

Lovely people we're attracting to the game now, eh?

Wow congrats on really being an ***. If you did not want to be judged on what you said in a post than you should of not typed it out. I do not "love" or put Arcana on any higher pedestal than most people on the forums.

Also congrats you can reference a former President...it took so much work since I would assume most American student's learn it in high school.

GG was being childish yes...although I did not see other people take much offense compared to the bile you are spewing.

If you don't want to be judged on what YOU posted? It works both ways, but people always forget that

You've obviously been skipping over/nodding in agreement with the solo haters brigade

and I've already openly admitted to being an *** on these boards at least 10 times. why do you act surprised?

It's OK, I am sure someone will group with you.

Are you saying that you would be happy if the devs gave us a contact like Marcus who had no plotline to his missions and basically no point to even doing them, and told us that it was our "solo content"?

I wouldn't.

If we're going to get solo Incarnate content I'd much prefer they take their time with it and give us GOOD content, instead of just banging out a few crap missions to shut people up. And if the devs respond to your demands and ultimatums and give us solo content RIGHT NOW, that's exactly what you're going to get: A handful of crap missions that aren't even worth doing that you will have to repeat over and over and over to get anywhere with.
As opposed to a handful of shiny missions that require you to zone twelve times, just to click two blinkies and beat up four EBs (If you use your mission drop you only have to zone ten times, click one blinky and beat up two EBs) that you have to repeat on every character before you can even start to get anywhere? Yes, I would rather they just slap something together. Don't get me wrong, the Trapdoor and Honoree/Holtz encounters are a neat change of pace, but the first mission, the "unique" maps and the cutscene are frills that probably took more resources than everything else in the arc. So yes, I would rather have something half-***ed now than wait six months so they can tweak maps and add special effects to the bad guys.

Don't forget, you still have the alternative of repeating the WST over and over, and have been explicitly told there is another alternative coming, so if a stop-gap solo alternative is no more imaginative or "fresh" than the stop-gap team method you don't have to do it.

I am not like others in this thread anti-soloers. I tend to solo all my characters to 50; although I do team for T/SFs only. I have stated people to have patience till we learn more.

I do not read every thread in this form, and this is the first time I stepped into you. People are never surprised on the internet cause *gasp* people have seen it with unanimity.

Also I know people will look at my post, digest them and build their own criticism whether it is for me or against me that is their opinion. If they reply I will try and reply back so eventually we could get on the same level. For you it seems to be a waste of space.

Since this thread has been derailed horribly I am leaving you alone after this so you can attack anyone else you feel like.

Being able to run your mouth is not a sign of genius, old sprout. I defer to Arcana in the realm of Mathematics. But long winded opinions don't make her right

Show me where I missed the rest. Was it when she was going on and on about different currencies and simplicity vs complexity? My point was that she was making excuses, specifically that it was HARD to balance solo endgame content. Obviously, since all the other big MMOs have failed to do so *smirk*

Opinions are just that, and mine are just as valid as yours or hers, whether you agree with me or not

...Yeah, actually, they have. Endgame in most of the popular MMOs is either PVP or large-scale teaming.

Try having an opinion get violently attacked. Would you just passively let people pile on without trying to defend yourself?

Sorry, but I am not going to do that

And that's also the reason I'm not playing them. Your point was what, again?

I said "Failing to balance Solo vs Teamed". Who failed reading comprehension there?

If you're going to take the time to respond to my posts, I would prefer if you took the time to read them first. This is either a deliberate non-sequitor or an accidental leak of illiteracy.

Violently...attacked.

If you're going to call responses to your opinions violent attacks, Mr. Melodrama, then it's only fair to point out that you strike first and what follows is mere self defense.

I read it, and omitted the parts that didn't deal with developing the Incarnate System. Forgive me for not retreating to my fainting couch because I don't agree with you

I will admit I feel different than you on this. I truly love play his arc, as you said it brings a nice change of pace. While I would not need cut scenes in all the other arcs, since it was more fitting in her. I would not mind waiting a couple (even six) months for another well done arc like that.

You weren't the first to attack, nor were you the first person I responded to

It's not all about you, please

Play, Johnny, play.
See Johnny want the best stuff.
Team, Johnny, team.
Johnny spits on teamers.
See Johnny solo.
Solo, Johnny, solo.
Johnny can only get second-best stuff.
See Johnny post.
Flame, Johnny, flame.
