For I24? No.

For some other reason as a one-time event for a day or weekend or week? Possibly.

You could always pray that an Issue is delayed or there were a few days of server outages and they open this up as a pacifying gift to the playerbase.

But, they will be back next summer.

Also, there were some hints that such a proc may show up in some other sets in the future, but no timetable.

You mean the one that took over three years to get back into the game? Sure... go with that and Praetorian Ouroboros will be here in 2015.

You're confusing Overwhelming Force with Force Feedback.

Nor did he say it was about Celestial armor. For all we know, 'this topic' means 'availability' and he's going to try to set up one of the employees on a date.

I think it's proof they've got vampires.

That's not how the contact system nor Ouroboros works. So, they'd have to code that.. thus the problem.

Also, the phasing tech makes some arcs impossible. You can remove Cleopatra from the game and then get the mission to deliver flowers to her from White... which you can't.

So, if you're a Praetorian and you removed Cleopatra from the game, not only is there a problem getting Cleo as a contact, but there is a problem if you're doing White's arc through Ouroboros.

It *can* be worked around. But it would need coding. And not easy coding. Standard code rant in full force here.

That's the way it always worked.

Just ask one.

Yes, it should be more personal, like:

Numina: "Greetings, Agent White! I have an urgent task for you. It seems that my fledgling boyfriend, Positron, has been acting aloof and been making excuses to be away from me. I need you to monitor him and then report back to me if he's seeing someone else."

You need to think like a DA or a victorious general.

Both have to decide who is worthy of holding accountable and pursuing to impose penalties in wartime and afterwards.

And they ain't got nothing on Marauder unless there are Praetorians willing to testify about what happened in the wilderness. And even then, it's up to Praetorians to try him, not Primals for what he did. Marauder traded in drugs to keep his war buddies alive (but also abused them as street thugs to justify a hard line police state). But it's up to Praetorians to try him for that. Marauder tried to hold a fortress against an invading army. No war crimes there. It's true that Marauder has no moral core, but there's nothing for a Primal DA or a General to pursue. And if he can be an asset on another war front... you use him.

The same with Marchand... it was Cole calling the shots for an invasion. Cole, who, by they way, most believed was necessary to stave off being subsumed by the Hamidon. And when it was clear that Cole wasn't acting in the best interest of the Praetorians, he switched sides. Marchand didn't order attacks on civilian populations. You don't try an opposing General for doing what Generals do... that's not war crimes. It was Cole that crossed over the bounds into war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Now, it's true that for the same reasons Dominatrix should also be cut loose. She didn't lead any attacks against Primals. And any crimes she committed as a Praetor should be tried by Praetorians. And she helped take out Diabolique (though poorly); and she abandoned Cole (though to switch to the winning side). We know as players she is completely amoral, even sociopathic. But any Primal General or DA wouldn't. If I were a General, I'd put her past a Grand Jury not so much as thinking I'd get an guilty verdict, but to let her know that Primals do not countenance what the Praetors did in Praetoria, and none of that will fly here.

Evolution has formed sociologists to instinctively eye-check everything.

<<insert crotch and 'dictatorship' pun joke here>>


<<takes of Jester hat and puts on scientist hat>>

As to the fascination with the crotch it's because we are fascinated with the crotch. We're hard wired to be so.

Sociologists have actually studied where the eyes wander to and linger or furtively glance at in social interactions and everybody is looking at everybody's naughty bits (and other erogenous zones or whatever gets associated with sexual attractiveness or sexual aggression) all the time regardless of gender or orientation. It's like dogs sniffing butts.

It's just a question of whether we admit it. And in society, we're getting more honest and frank about it such that when an artistic representation of a crotch doesn't look right, people point it out without embarrassment... probably more so in this anonymous Internettic environment.

And especially after watching the Olympic aquatic and wrestling events...

That's because Lamatshu's consort, Pazuzu (The Magician) is a wind avatar, and there's a bunch of them in the game. And that's one area of mythology and loose ends still ongoing in the game dealing with the Order of the Four Winds and Scirocco's usurpation of one of the Mantles and his slow maybe-ish redemption.

CoH's use of avatars of wind gods...

I agree that it's appropriately drawn, however, I disagree that the package is filled, so to speak. Baggy pants is baggy.

Besides, Marauder uses the Huge Model and, well, huge is huge. The huge model has always had the crotch shaded to look... well, particularly 'full,' especially with tights options.


The other piece of art shown in this thread was never an option for a splasher screen since it was an obviously early work that contains elements that haven't showed up in the game... yet. And, oh yeah, two of the characters are now dead and never made it to that battle. It's a very anachronistic piece that was undercut by later changes in the storyline.
