Quote:and Tyrant is the Well's Champion because....?Originally Posted by DarkGob
As for why Praetoria is Incarnate content in the first place? It's not just because the Praetorians are Incarnates, it's because Tyrant is THE Incarnate, the Well's chosen champion. I'd say that's rather deserving of being weaved into the Incarnate storyline, wouldn't you?
that's my complaint really
I don't see why Incarnates were tied to Praetoria, other than because they were. If that makes sense to you. -
Frankly I don't care if she'll be a good leader for the resistance or not. I stopped caring about Praetoria a long time ago.

The thing of it is, as much as it may be over-used (I don't think so, but I'm playing along), it's actually a valid threat from an in-game standpoint.
Look, for how many years before the Incarnate system was added were the Rikti the big dogs of the game? If you wanted high end content then, you ran Lady Grey, or you ran the ITF, which was the end-game of the Cimeroa story.
Going Rogue comes out, re-introducing all of the Praetorians (updating their bios, changing some powers around, fleshing out the world, etc.) There's also a larger connection to Incarnate stuff and end-game content because it makes sense.
Incarnate stuff being end game makes sense, Incarnate stuff being joined at the hip with Praetoria does not.
I can accept that Praetoria is a threat, however the only justification for it being Incarnate content is that the Praetorians have incarnate powers.
Since that's the case it could damn well be the Hellions for all the difference it'd make.
Heck considering how much of Oranbega is beneath Paragon why couldn't the CoT get Incarnated up?
oh that's right there is no reason.
Praetoria itself has no reason to be the incarnate content. -

And let's not forget AS has a base chance of 10% to crit naturally. So 3 stacks of Assassin's Focus = 109% crit chance on AS without hide?
The Assasin's Focus buff might be counted separately from the normal Crits
so it could look like
Focus 99% Chance to Crit
10% Chance to Crit
giving two separate chances of a crit one that riggers 99% of the time and one that has a 10% chance
And possibly the chance that both trigger?
making the rare AS Double Crit somewhat of a feature? -

But what I want here is faction balance.
You obviously don't know the history of these words.
You say you want Faction balance, then go on and on about the Patron Pools.
There are a lot of factional balance problems on Villain side, specifically some glaring content gaps pre 40. Maybe once those get addressed we can deal with the post 40 ones eh? -

/sadface if true.
Not her, her mom. -
Agreed.
and to expand on this a bit more I think, if Costume packs are going to e sold that offer Weapons then that set should have at least 1 weapon of each type. -

Except that Longbow is only "extremist" in 2 morality missions blueside. Ms. Liberty/The Vindicators/Longbow are supposed to be the result of a desire to be more "proactive" against Villains, rather than just waiting for a plot to go down and THEN react to it.
Well there was that time when Longbow decided Vanguard couldn't be trusted and tried to stage a hostile take over the frontline of the Rikti War, during the middle of said war.
Plus the Longbow presence in the Rogue Isles kind of violates tons of international laws.
Oh and their operating procedure for Praetoria is shoot first and don't ask questions.
Not exactly a heroic rap sheet. -

I'm very aware he's a rogue operative, and I can read. You might also note that his description says Paragon has asked Recluse to clean up his mess. Would it be out of the question for the Phalanx to say "Well this is all your fault anyway, Steffan!" and just go for it? Tempers are high, allegiances are breaking, and everyone over in Paragon just found out Alexis Cole-Duncan is dead. Somehow I doubt rational decisions will be made.
It certainly wouldn't be out of line for the Phalanx to react that way however Recluse could easily respond "How am I supposed to clean up the mess with Blitz if Longbow keeps undermining my attempts to do so?"
if the Phalanx does go after Recluse, it would certainly be interesting especially since an attack like that would actually make Recluse the victim politically. -
Honestly if Liberty does go on the warpath, I think it would be one of the best things for the game. It would finally show the world what an irresponsible and reckless person she is.
Overall I think Longbow does more harm than good for ordinary people, and the vents here are that harm coming back at Liberty.
If Paragon still considers Warburg to be Arachnos property than the circumstances for the peace talks are even more shaky. If Warburg is part of Arachnos than Blitz wouldn't be the one to speak to for peace talks, it would be Recluse's chosen representative(typically Arbiter Sands). It Warburg is not part of Arachnos, than Blitz's offer of peace while having merit, wouldn't be relevant to the situation with the Rogue Isles.
Either Blitz is an Arachnos operative and wouldn't have the authority to make peace talks with Paragon, or he isn't an Arachnos operative and would be able to make peace talks regarding himself and his followers.
EDIT: Read Zombie Man's post above with the info on Blitz. It says quite clearly that Blitz is a Rogue Operative, if he is a rogue then he is no longer affiliated with the group. -

I wonder if we might eventually need to try and stop Ms. Liberty from using Longbow to launch some kind of massive retaliation against the Rogue Isles?
On what grounds could she launch said retaliation?
Arachnos and the Rogue Isles had nothing to do with this. It's well known that Marshall Blitz is a rogue agent and that Arachnos has been trying to bring Warburg back under it's control. Part of why they haven't succeeded is due to Longbow Operations in Warburg.
It's a possibility that without Longbow interference Arachnos would have gotten Warburg back under control and removed Blitz from the picture avoiding this whole incident. -

And you ignored that AR already has that distance, and AR/Energy has access to Boost Range.

Can this lovely tech be applied to Incarnate Trial temps?
As for Hot dogs, I live near the Original Nathan's in Coney Island. Pepper and Onion Dog FTW -
Quote:See that's exactly what I was talking about.Originally Posted by Slaunyeh
Psst. It was Miss Liberty who died. It's Ms. Liberty that remains alive.
There I go making this whole statement about not getting the names confused anymore, and naturally I get the names confused.
-
Didn't realize the squishies got it.
I feel for you though, my main AT is Stalkers, whose big gimmick is Hide, which everyone else can do just as well and in some cases even better.
Not sure which would be stronger though, the 45 second timer or the flat recharge one.
Hibernate has a base 4 min recharge right? If so then I'd say go with the 45 second timer. If it's less than that the flat recharge. -
Ah ok then.
On the Plus side this will remove the confusion that's always been abundant with her name and her daughters name. Now that she's dead there's only the one Miss Liberty.
Looks like the Villains have done the world a favor. :P -
Didn't Villains already take her out of the picture in Mender Tesseract's arc during the Marchion Assassination?
Or was that just one of those beating them senseless deals? -
I don't see how Hibernate's been given out like Cheap Candy. As far as i know the only way a Scrapper can get Hibernate is from the Patron Pool.
That aside I have nothing against making Tanker Hibernate distinctive from Stalker/Scrapper Hibernate. -

Mastermind cries in the corner.
Also Stalkers are working up a rage big enough to make Brutes jealous.Of course no one pays them any mind. -
Isn't there usually some build up to the hero getting the villains weapon though?
Quote:Said hero can side switch to run the arc that grants the unlock.Originally Posted by taveenaYes, but the POINT is that currently Villains have more options. A Villain can either take an APP or do a patron arc and unlock that. A Hero can only take an APP.
There are some costume pieces that can only be unlocked by doing Hero side content. A villain has to go hero side to get those. Also overall Hero side has more Content options available than Villain side. -
Since the last you checked was before Going Rogue with DP and Demons, two other sets were added about the same time. Electric Control and Kinetic Melee, that you may want to check out.
there was also all kinds of Proliferation done with I21.
Currently there are 2 new trials being tested on the Beta server, one will be releasing with I21.5 the other will probably be in I22, plus a bunch of new Incarnate powers -

If I pay enough, I'll be able to win.
I never said you couldn't win. I said you could never finish the game. There's a whole 30%-40% of the game you will never see, because of that you can never finish the game.
Whether that matters or not is up to you. -
Quote:You haven't finished the game GG. In fact your choice to play Heroes exclusively will prevent you from ever finishing the game.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
What do we win? I've been looking everywhere, and I still can't find any info on what we win for finishing the game.
