Ehhh I don't 100% agree with that. It's implied (I could be wrong) that Nictus/Rommulus are also Incarnate based in some way. And last I checked Nictus come from science.

EDIT: When I say implied I mean the last cutscene in Mender Ramiel's arc.

In fact isn't the AV (another version of Cole, no?) from the Khan tf shown there? Am I wrong in remembering that he got his powers by some technological/science device that absorbed power from other coles.

I admit I drink sometimes while playing COH, so don't hold my bad memory against me. LOL

FFS, they need to get folks that actually PLAY THE GAME to do these.

LMAO!

Agreed with the first 3, but I thought Darkseid was technically a god no?

EDIT: I guess it matters if you see gods as magical or tech.

I'd say gods are like the incarnate origin . . . out there by there lonesome and powerful enough to crush the other origins with just a sneeze.

I prefer "it was just a FLESH WOUND!!!"


just saying.

Which did absolutely jack squat to prevent the destruction of a major part of it.

THIS. I used to RAAAAGE about the story, but then realized that different points of the timeline could be at play during a character's 1-50 path. This seems to be more the case with Preatorian Earth.

Basically I can easily see them have the next iTrial be vs Hamidon or Hamidon+ONE OF the Wells. But for pure Preatorians it's the first REAL iTrial. Let me explain:

The 1-30 game still exists in Prae if you never leave Prea. And Night Ward now extends that to 35. I can easily see them building levels 35-50 as a separate timeline of what happens now that Tyrant is dead. That is the 35-50 game could be instances or phased tech of you returning to the old starting Preatorian zones that have been revamped and made more harsh (thus the level bump for mobs) due to Tyrant's hydrogen bomb. Thus the FINAL part of the Praetorian story could involved helping to put down the factions that try to rise up with Tyrant and his croonies being put down. With the first iTrial being stopping Hamidon with help (or relcutant help) from Primal.

The batillion+well of the multi furies thing would be a whole new storyline for BOTH Primal and Pare Earth.

Yeah just like First Ward . . . uhhh, wait a minute.

I'll just respond to him what I've always said to Prommey before: BITE ME

Great end to the Preatorian "story".

Yeah I think the Hamidon was never really truly 100% part of the praetorian storyline. I think it's more linked to the Well of the Furies (multiple across dimensions?). I don't think the Well storyline (and thus Hamidon) is going anywhere soon.

Edit: Also if they are live streaming the issue 23 trial, why take down the issue 23 info? They might as well have left the leaked page up.

Okay THAT makes sense now.

Sorry to hear that.

Also this.

I thought it was more of a lesson of don't push out something your beta testers tell you is broken.

Breaking the pet AI should be considered a show stopper.

But what do I know.

YMMV.

EDIT: Based on Zwill's statements in the first post, I'm VERY curious now as to why Beast Mastery was rushed out in such a state. I honestly couldn't care less about staff fighting if it releases today or yesterday. But if all the things he states is true then I take SERIOUS issue with Beast Mastery being rushed out in the state it was. And as I stated above I'm not talking about whether some saw it as a weak powerset or not.

I'm referring to the major bug that came with it. Which the beta testers stated beforehand.

Wether the beta was closed or open is irrelevant to that situation, as they would have been told the same thing.

Pretty much the bolded. When folks are trying to level up quick they are going to re-run the less gimmicky stuff back to back.

You don't need to include everything on that map. For certain runs where the telepaths show up is completely irrelevant, for many teams don't even bother with the telepaths.

And I . . . truly don't get the having to turn you head 50 degrees to read it. I've seen plenty of other graphics similar to that in plain high school text books that are just as easy to read.

I'm . . . baffled.

THAT's not the issue.

The issue is runing back to back of the same trial all the time. Some servers can get the same trial (no matter what, except maybe UG) re-run right after running one. BUT it's more likely in general for most servers that the shorter, less gimicky ones will be re-run immedieatly.

EVERY server has a different culture. That's what most folks seem to miss.

How after 7 years i don't know. Some people haven't been paying attention.

EDIT: Number of players has diddly squat to do with how each server functions. Some servers have a VASTLY different culture than others. (though from what I'm getting number of players DOES play a part for servers like Triumph--READ: SMALL!)

For instance during the AE farming fever days if you stepped into Atlas park on Freedom you'd here "looking for farm" "or looking for paying lowbie" 24/7. On Virtue, not so much. That really has nothing to do with number of players.

Another example: Mention Tanker Tuesday on some servers and folks will jump for joy. Mention it on another and the folks of that server channel will be like "huh, what's that?"

And a third: There's actually a server that has a joke that it's the drunk while playing/drinker's server. Most players won't know what I mean, but those from that server will.

Difference is the Lego Star Wars stands alone as great products. This . . . not so much.

I think what he's saying is that because of all the gimmicks in the later trials people are waaaay more likely to stick around and re-run BAF/LAM/TPN/Keyes vs DD/MoM/UG. UG especially cause of the length I don't see people sticking around for an immediate re-run of.

Except for the fact that Positron would run screaming from Paragon Studios.

It was just a flesh wound.

Completely disagree. Some things should remain for VIPs.

I say just put a disclaimer in.

Glad to see those people aren't posting here, as they would be ridiculed as being absolutely ridiculous for telling people how to spend their money.
