I know what you mean... He could certainly have been given a little more coaching by the dev team that he ran with on things like power usage (especially toggles) and the option to invert his camera and what-not.

But he reviews F2P MMOs for a living, yet ran around for half the video saying he was "having trouble with the controls." It's W,A,S,D + mouse to look around, just like every other MMO out there, dude.

Sorry, it just really had to be said. I'll edit it out if you want to take it.

I said I agreed with your post, not your position. It's true we've been on the same side of an argument many times in the past... but surely you know that the way you post often does more harm to your position than good. Calling people "Paragon Studios' bum kissers" for disagreeing with you lowers your argument to ignorable at best.

In the overall argument of this thread (and other Staff Fighting threads), I'm pretty neutral about the delay and just trying to keep the facts straight when people say things like, "We were promised that it would release alongside i22!" (no, we weren't; they said back in January that it would be coming out sometime after the issue launched) or, "Staff Fighting won't be out until i23!" (also not true; Z said in this very thread it's coming out during the month of April).

Yep. Once upon a time, that's how one would manage their account and/or buy Super Boosters before there was even an inkling that we'd have an in-game store.

Then, until about 2 months ago (give or take), it automatically redirected to http://us.ncsoft.com/en/ ... but since then, it just takes you to the Korean page (since NCSoft is based in Korea and all).

I'm shocked. I actually agree with a Darth_Khasei post.

Unless he's just being sarcastic... in which case, go eat a pile of pancakes, dude. >_<

Thought about it last night, but we don't know exactly what the powers themselves are called... just the names of the trees.

Anyway, beta will be open to VIPs within the week (presumably before close of business tomorrow), so we don't have that long to wait for the info.

He used the power of Tartarus (aka Lord Recluse's power, which Praetorian Cole gained by killing Richter shortly after they gained their powers) to cause an explosion. As someone else put it, it's basically "Tartarus Judgement."

It wouldn't be an actual nuke. If you'll remember, in Praetoria, McArthur dropped a LOT of nukes post WWII, and stopping those is one of the reasons Cole came to power to begin with.

It does. I asked Zwil in the chat during the stream, and he replied in the affirmative.

Correct. That's the first real incursion of the Praetorians, taking place before the 40-50 arcs from Maria Jenkins and crew. Then, at 50, the main invasion begins with the Apex TF and is halted in the Tin Mage TF. The story then carries over to our counterstrike in the Incarnate Trials.

A little Chris Farley oughta take care of that.

Night_Watcher spoke hastily and ignorantly. The 1-20 Praetoria content isn't going anywhere, per Zwillinger earlier in the thread.

So if Tyrant were a Chippendale's dancer, he'd be unstoppable?

I may have misrepresented the amount of damage in my post. But my overall message wasn't the amount of damage, it was the type of damage--specifically that the damage was NOT nuclear in nature, and the person whose post I was referencing shouldn't need to worry about RPing a nuclear fallout survivor.

Read their background stories sometime.

Regular Infernal: From a magical dimension populated with demons, able to bind demons to his will, crossed dimensions to Primal Earth while searching for a friend who'd given in the temptation of binding too many demons.

Praetorian Infernal: From a magical dimension populated with demons, able to bind demons to his will, crossed dimensions to Praetoria while escaping persecution for binding too many demons.

It's strongly implied that the two Infernals know each other, and that the Praetorian one is who the Primal one is searching for.

Who says he survived? He's apparently one of the main foes faced in the new Night Ward zone, which exists between the realm of the living and that of the dead according to the overview. He may well have died and just refuses to cross over.

I'd like to point out that the term "nuked" isn't being used literally. Nobody dropped an atom bomb on the area. Cole had a a Well-powered tantrum explosion that leveled the center of Nova Praetoria, sure, but that doesn't mean there's going to be any sort of radiation or fallout.

I believe that's also what John Wilkes Booth said when he assassinated Abraham Lincoln.

Saber? IT STARTED WITH A BLOODY 'S'!

Was it ever?

As far as I know, the only thing that went down was on the billing side at NCSoft. You can still spend Paragon Points in the store... you just can't buy more points while the maintenance is going on.
