Honestly, I never thought I'd see the day. I was sure that CO was just going to languish in maintenance mode for the rest of it's days. Good to be wrong sometimes.
This might be the springboard that the game needs. If this does well, you can be sure that more will follow. I had a feeling that something was coming down the line when they put LTS on sale and had what seemed to be a sales blitz for C-store items. STO did the same thing and had a full expansion come out after that. Granted Steel Crusade isn't the same size or scope, but it's still impressive considering where CO has been in the past. This is very good news, very good news indeed.
Will have to reinstall and patch up when the patch hits. Excited.
I think it will not be anything different from past events like Lemurian Invasion or Forum Malvanum, a small arc to present some new rampage or alert.
The "let's play an archtype to unlock powers" ... hmmm ... not sure if I like the idea; at first I'd say no, but who can say how overpower should it be?

Oh, man...
We finally get something new, and my lappy is off in limbo-land getting repaired. Three weeks the Geeks said.
Do we have a set date for the beginning of the Anni? Clearly it ends on the 3rd since Steel Crusade arrives on September 4th.
I mean, I can get into the game on this old rickety thing, but I can do very little else. Sure as hell can't do Alerts or most OM. You know, the fun stuff.

Cryptic didn't boast that either of those alert events were going to add hours of gameplay when they were released. Here, with this update, they are saying that. 4-5 hours is roughly the length of an Adventure Pack. That's a huge difference from the "~5-15 minutes of missions culminating in an alert" style of updates that the Lemurian Invasion, Forum Malvanum and Socrates arc ended up being.
Confidently stating it should take hours is enough for me to give it a shot before I pass judgement.

Hey Zed, i'm running CO on an old laptop and a bit surprised to be able to run decently at 1920x1080 (2nd generation i5 - HD3000). My desktop with 7970 died and did not expect to have extra spending until next year...

Agreed. Even if give me a single hour of fun it already worth, provided it is well done and with a good story. Currently I thought the Lemurian Invasion was really cool.
I regret that they have abandoned Adventure Packs; can honestly say I love them all.
When I look how devs are struggling with a passable build for this "epic" archetype...
It does the best at confirming my opinion about them either not knowing in the slightest ins and outs of their own powers system, or just being very good at trolling.
The thing is a trainwreck.
Can't really imagine only two powers, a so-so toggle form included, are enough of an incentive to take it to the lvl 40. Let alone to play it as a toon on its own.
I really hope they will redo this build completely. As it is, it's kinda pointless to even waste time working on it.

takeshiyamato01: Umm... what happened to the Archetype guides?

takeshiyamato01: I had some of Criswolf09's archetype guides saved to my tab list, and when I check in on them today, I find them all GONE. And that's what prompted me to actually sign in, so I could ask what was going on.
