How long?

So, like all people I for one am excited to finally see new content after a long time. But this question still haunts me. How long before people burn through and want more content after this is released. Granted we don't know how big this new content is, but my question still stands.

I certainly hope to not get bored until at least 4 months in. Given that, ideally we shouldn't have to wait 3 months beyond that point to wait for the next similar update. Waiting more than a year for an update should no longer be (and really never was) acceptable if the updates aren't game changing.
What we seem to be getting is acceptable if we get stuff like that every 7 months tops.
4-5 hours of content will be blown through in 45 minutes by a bunch of zergers - - who will then come to the forums and complain there isn't enough content...
Heck, even a game will 1000s of hours of content available and more added each day, still gets complaints the content isn't the RIGHT kind of content, so there's nothing to do....:rolleyes:
It's the just nature of gamers who play MMOs.

... All kidding aside, I wouldn't expect it to be as long as an AP.
The real question is "how fun". I'm hoping they got really creative with combat mechanics in this. If they did, I'm going to get a ****-ton of mileage out of this. If it's the same old combat mechanics the I'll be making a pouty boo boo face while I play it u3u

Instantly, as it turns out.

I this context I don't think Instant is a measure of duration u3u Unless you're claiming that the duration of how long people were putting a negative spin on this ended the instant it began >.>

Spinny is on the money--interesting content beats more content in my book.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
Mechanon in the game looks appropriately true to the art and bad ****. It won't disappoint.
To be fair, that behavior didn't start with the internet. I'm sure when Ug-Bug invented fire, Gub-Goo immediately said "Oh great, you made something that burned my hand, incompetent moron", and then Bung-Gum said "Nobody cares about cooking food, get back to sharpening rocks" and Gurl-Gug said "It's not even that warm, and look at all the work I have to do to keep it burning".
The internet just helped to make common knowledge the sheer volume of people exhibiting that behavior. Saying the internet caused it is like saying guns created murder u3u
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Guns may not have created murder, but they "brought it too the masses" what with no longer having to learn a skill or dirty your own hands, or even put yourself at very much risk anymore. Hell, with a pistol any fool with a quick mad-on can get a murder in quick fast in a hurry, and toss the gun and possibly get away with it.
The Internet is like that, with it's anonymity and long distance communication built in. Anyone can complain, and now they can do it instantaneously, without leaving the comfort of their own home, or even revealing their real name or face, or putting their own precious reputations on the line, just smear others reputations and efforts safely from behind that wall of anonymity.
Back when Ug-bug invented fire, and the others gave him lip about it, he could [and probably did] beat a couple of them senseless for being morons. Then he smacked Gurl-gug over the head and made her do all the cooking and cleaning.
If Ug-gurl and the others had the internet to hide behind, we'd have probably had no further innovations after Fire, since everyone complained and it was thought nobody wanted Fire or anything to do with it.
Yes, just like the gun allowed people to commit murder over greater distances, so did the internet allow people to complain over greater distances. However, it didn't get them started doing it, you just didn't notice before... that guy has been trying to kill you all along, it's just that you never noticed because he was trying to chuck knives at you from across a field. That other guy was also complaining about everything and being negative all along as well, you just didn't notice because he didn't have a pipeline from his mouth directly to your face.
Anonymity and distance-based-protection didn't create bad attitudes, it just made people more willing to show them off.
Whether internet would have prevented the continuing innovations of fire's existence would have been determined by Ug-Bug's concern for the opinions of others. Some people make stuff just because they want to, not because they think others want them to... the internet hasn't eradicated those kinds of people (and one might argue that it has actually helped to create even more of them).

Our point, and I think even you may agree [I hope], is that most of us here in the Champions Community are a little sick and tired of the instantaneous complaining of new announcements, not even a day old.
It's too soon.
I imagine the PTS will be updated with a preview in the next day or two. At least give them the time to get the content pushed to PTS or Live before starting in.
It's never too soon to stop enjoying something you've never done! ( o 3 o)/

1: I'm gonna burn through this in less than 45 minutes the first time through.
2: I'm going to play it to DEATH. Same thing happened with cybermind, I must have ran it 400 times when the event was live.
RIP Caine
Gotta say I laughed out loud, love the sacrasm avec smilie-kirby-3-as-a-nose-thing.
:biggrin:
Also, if there any type of costume drops associated this it will be run non-stop, unless the module is gated behind some sort of restriction (Need the new AT at 40 to run, haha would THAT ever burn people's britches. :biggrin: ).
See me ingame under the following secret identities:
Amelie Layclaire - Lightning and Wind (40)
Solution Five - Gadgets and Subterfuge (40)
Dodgeball Kara - Support and Ebon Ruin (40)
Relentless Pursuit - Fire and Force (35)
Rear Window - Homage - Icy Disposition (20)
Teaming with @shottymario and hoping to meet you all ingame.
Ooh, has Cryptic been doing secret, private, invite only testing? Sweet. It might actually work right when it hits PTS!

I was only using it as an analogy.
I live in Texas and am a proud Gun Supporter myself, but the simple truth is, guns have made murder and other violent crimes involving threats with violence, easier for anyone to do, even as it's made it safer and easier for police to defend us from those same creeps.
It is not an even match value though.. there are a lot more freaks and creeps out there than there are people willing to defend people they don't know, comics reality we love notwithstanding. It's this disconnection with reality that we all probably love about action adventure settings anyhow.. it's a romantic notion.
But really.. Let's at least see the stuff on PTS before burning the forums down, amirite? :biggrin:

The question is not how long... but how hard.
s( u w u)/*\( u w u )z I DID IT!

Don't get ahead of yourself, the behaviour started when Ugg picked up a heavy stone and used it to beat another animal to death then dropped it on Ogg's foot who immediately complained that Ugg should have stuck to beating it to death with his own hands.
That wouldn't be the case if legally acquiring a gun weren't so intentionally headache-inducing. Unless you count cities where gang violence is knowingly cultivated for the sake of creating fear and dependency.
Self-defense and crime prevention are quite common, nearly guaranteed, when the victims actually HAVE the guns to utilize.
...Damnit, there's no escaping politics.

Well I'm sure someday science will find out that single-celled life complained more than anyone... but we'll just have to wait for that won't we o3o
