you, sir, are very optimistic. too much optimistic even.
if you really think there won't be complaints about the wait we suffered, you are totally wrong.
if you think there will be less promos, well, that's entierly up to OOO and how long they want to work on something before releasing it.

+There will be a more stable energy market with clean high-to-low prices like there was before.

+An increased amount of daily players.

how do you
ah, nevermind.

Am I the only one that noticed he threw a bunch of spoilers in there. I mean, not everyone has Spiral Spy and not everyone has played on the testing servers to know what types of guns there are. Just saying.

P.S. They better fix the Torto Fists with the gunner update. What's wrong? The charge is very underpowered. It stops doing damage if it deals... well, too much damage. Dafuq OOO? Why don't we have this on the Brandish line if we have it on the Torto Fists?

Acheron completely tears "Jelly King" to pieces just as well as the grim repeater does.
Bombs are trash? Do you even use mist bombs, vortex bombs, or DBB? What's wrong with you.

@ Fangel

But it has statuses, and the helm/armor is different.

To be truly Cobalt it can't have status penaly/resists or damage bonuses

Yeeeaaah, no. I've never ever seen anyone use the Torto Fists for "blocking way". They just throw it on an enemy and that's it.

In PVP, that's the only viable use for Tortofist, really. Make a wall to encourage your opponents to move around it or waste their dodge.

In PVE, with max CTR, you can use it to wall off yourself in a corner (say, arenas) as it blocks or otherwise bumper-damages enemies, but to make most use of it after dropping the charge on enemies is to punch (or use some other weapon) enemies into the spikes.

:V

Promotions are no longer independent of updates, remember? SEGA requires someone to code (or clean up after the artist's code, apparently) whenever they make brand new weapons for us to unbox.
Unless this code was in the works already, for another update, and they just so happened to decide to try it out beforehand. The fact that we've had a gunner update in the works for a year and everyone seems to think it's all reskins seems like bogus to me. In that whole time, the developers couldn't have toyed around with a boomerang projectile? I'd think they would have at least thought of something like that.

Granted this is mostly just opinion stuff, but the only concrete fact is that we have a new gun now, not that we won't have one in the future or that the code was made specifically for this promotion.

You may not know but.. I think the Gunner Update has a lot more than just guns. I think it has:

-Arsenal Redux!

-Bringing back a lot of old monsters from beta.

-A new boss.

-Some new missions.

Lots more I can't think of! Trust me, there are a lot of things in the gunner update that need work!

now if only there was a plethera of new levels and monsters to use any new equipment on.. -.-

i mean i know how hard it is to map and tile for new levels..and new monsters..forget about it, impossible right? -.-

i can't be the only one who isn't ecstatic about killing the same things we have been killing forever with just different guns? amiright?

point being: the end-all be-all of most successful dungeon romps lies in constantly adding many and new environments to run through...not a 1 room game with a gazillion weapons to keep destroying it with. talk about a stubborn, stick-to-our-guns about the game's initial vision and throw growth and success out the window, design crew. i guess if you like to stifle potential and settle for 'good enough'...sure bring on the accessories. -.-

criticism is an acquired taste. those who don't enjoy change or feel they are above reproach will hate this dish.
