    Ahh but they need the second part of the name to be copyrighted.

    Thankfully the dev's don't subscribe to the mmo design theory that goes 'Class X is underpowered, better nerf class Y.'

    It's fairly obvious that each dimension has its own sub-dimensions.

    Consider Hell.

    If there were only one hell, just how much of this singular hell is taken up by Hitler?Primal hitler, Preatorian Hitler, Warwolf world Hitler and so on.

    If there were just one hell it would be a crisis of infinite Hitlers.

    Checked the feedback thread, but it doesn't seem like any red names are even acknowledging the missing pieces.

    Haven't we already been told, that when something makes it to Beta it doesn't get changed?

    At least costume set wise?

    So they gender locked the boots, I thought we were past this already, I guess not.

    This message was approved for public consumption.

    Actually they didn't the Geneva convention only covers countryies, Longbow is a privatly funded militia, and thus gets away with such things as using flame throwers within civilian areas.

    B: Contact them peacefully in secret and possibly recruit help with the not-quite-dead Hamidon issue.
    C: Destroy them! Full scale invasion before they notice us!

    If you chose A or B, congratulations! You're smarter than a supervillain dictator! If you chose C... why would you DO that?!
    C: Was the only real option to choose.

    Primal Earth, particulary Primal USA, the country that actually does all the portal stuff, isn't going to sit by and leave Preatoria alone.

    Portal Corps, is the Reed Richards of CoX, it's responsible for far more trouble than it has ever solved, what with ticking off all sorts of dimensions by sneaking people into other worlds and spying on them.

    I appreciate the feedback you’ve all been given here and on the beta forums. I’ve just made the following changes:


    1) Statesman’s Pal will remain Statesman’s Pal and will be given out when completing ‘A Hero’s Hero’, the original Maria Jenkin’s arc, in flashback

    2) Positron’s Pal will be given out when completing, ‘A Hero’s Epic’, the new Maria Jenkin’s arc

    3) Sister Psyche’s Comrade will remain the same and be given out when completing Psyche’s task force in flashback once Issue 23 is launched.

    4) Penelope Yin’s Friend will be rewarded when completing her new task force

    5) The Task Force Commander badge will be rewarded by having either Penelope Yin’s Friend or Sister Psyche’s Comrade

    Thanks again for all your feedback!

    Dr. Aeon

    Perfect, thank you very much.

    Wait....

    A hero team manned up and did it by themselves, no one ordered them to.

    So which 16 heroes and villains are we going to claim did this in the Preatorian war?

    Then where do Ressitance characters fear to be put. Where do loyalist characters put people when they are arrested?

    Now honestly it depends on where the Preatorians attacked during their two in game invasions. Unlike the Rikti there is no evidence that they attacked globaly, just the US and Arachnos land. How many countries would be like? "Serves them right?" How many more would expect something in return for helping?

    Likewise Vanguard action, this time they would not be operating within the borders of a member state, but actually invading another world. Again with only the word of the US that they didn't start this first.

    We as players have knowledge that isn't know in the game universe.

    [QUOTE=FloatingFatMan;4211454]Praetoria declared war on Primal, CB... Not the other way around.

    [QUOTE]

    Which is why we shouldn't start talking of making Lamda a series of 'vangaurd' raids on Preatorian locations. Firstly because we are veering way from how the trials are actually presented, and secondly what legal backing does Vangaurd have in this?

    The trials are pretty much this, big blue guy who claims to be a god, tells you how to get more powerful by fighting for the attentions of an angry puddle.

    They don't even make vanguard uniforms big enough to fit his blue ***.

    Why not... stay with me here... why not just put a new badge in for the new arc?

    Instead of changing badge number 45 why not add a badge number 3001 or what ever they are currently up to?

    The Praetorian war

    My big question, is V, who do you think has the legal right to drag the entire planet into a trans-dimensional war?

    Assuming Primal Earth doesn’t run on the rules of an America (**** yeah!) action movie, the USA can’t of just declared war on behalf of the entire world. After all we only have the US government and Portal Corps, a US company, to say that Preatoria is lying about being attacked first.

    The UN? Well assuming they are anything like their real life counterpart, then they are still discussing issues like Primal France, wanting mineral and oil rights to Praetorian Iran.

    Vanguard? I’d hope the UN would be smart enough not to put all their resources in the hand of one woman and give her free reign, to run unchecked as she sees fit.

    Let’s look who actually is the contact and the people involved in the trials. The soldiers? A random assortment of heroes and villains, the contact? A big blue guy who claims to be Prometheus.

    We’d have to change way too much to make these fit Unionverse, so why bother? Why not accept that the invasions that happened were all that Preatoria could muster, and now it’s a cold war?

    My only want for the set, is more models for the staff. Like a none tech spear.

    Last night..

    While randomly jumping in swirly portals to try and find the one back home, Great sage without equal and legendary heavenly warrior Son Pun found a strange place with weird lights, and recived a table dance from a bird woman, who was very boring and cowardly, she claimed to be a canary, Son Pun is sure she’s really a chicken woman!

    Apparently chicken woman is content never to have adventures, so Son Pun left in search of one herself!

    They just removed an entire RP concept from the players, want to RP as a Preatorian post I23? Too bad everyone's dead.

    Now... is there any universe where Lord Recluse actually succeeded in taking over the world or anything like that? Has he really failed so much that not even an alternate version of him as succeeded? (He's even dead in Praetoria, lol.)

    Also... who would win one on one?

    Tyrant or Reichmann?
    Reichmann or Statesman?
    Tyrant or Statesman?

    Lol. XD

    Play Redside and do the Arc to unlock the Lord Recluse strike force.

    Apparantly Zwill thought it would be fun to pick the most stupidly unquote like quote from a movie, that frankly is crap. So a quoute that most won't see as a quoute, from a movie that no one saw.

    Zwill can we get a straight answer from you, no mysterious memes or platitudes, just a straight yes or no.

    Is staff melee coming out next Tuesday?
  24. CactusBrawler
    I wonder Zwill where you got the idea that we have a perception that Paragon have been focusing too much on melee?

    The current perception seems to be that you're overusing the new rig to the point of tedium.

    If that's the case then maybe they should of relased staff melee first, seeing as Beast mastery is a little bit broken and could of done with another months baking?
