    I also got the feeling that he was possibly feeling betrayed by the people he was trying to "protect", along with an "if I can't have it, then no one can" attitude to his world.

    They wouldn't have existed if he hadn't been an evil tyrant

    Apex - Battle Maiden
    Tin Mage - Bobcat & Neuron
    BAF - Seige & Nightstar
    Lamda - Marauder
    Keys - Antimatter
    UG - No one
    TPN - No one
    MoM - Malaise & Mother Mayem
    DD - Diablique
    New one - Chimera, Shadow Hunter, Pendragon, Black Swan, and Tyrant
    DA - Dominatrix

    Shouldn't he be in Diablique's trial, given the patterns...or is the Sentinal supposed to be him?
    The Sentinal is someone else that you meet during the DA storyline.

    There weren't any screenshots of anything on the overview page - which went back up about an hour ago.

    I'm used to Trial text instructions



    Other stuff from the Trial:

    The Trial is 12-24.

    Chimera and Shadow hunter fetaure in the Trial, and the new AV is called Pendragon - which is surely their Hero 1

    Shadow Hunter has had a total revamp - he looks like a staff/BM, with special pets - he also transforms into a giant dog at 40% health.

    Pendragon uses TW - it's Excalibur, and it fights on alone after he's defeated.

    Black Swan uses the Quills of Jocas to siphon our Incarnate power - she will turn off our powers form time to time.

    The nuked Nova Praetoria map looks pretty epic

    Tyrant nukes Nova Praetoria, and becomes giant sized - we have to cut his links to the Well.

    He calls on the power of Tartarus to nuke the place, as he got it along with the power of Zeus at the Well.

    The Dream Doctor is our main guide in this, instead of Prometheus.



    And beta will be opened this week.


    Also, the nuked Nova Paretoria map won't appear in game, although it's connected to other stories - so it sounds like the GR zones are going to be treated as "historical" zones, that only represent a specific time period in the storyline.

    And it looks like Anubis - which is a neat tie-in to the death theme in night Ward.
  9. Tyrant calls on the power of Tartarus to nuke Nova Praetoria - but we survive the blast - and the ruined map looks epic

  11. It's a paid-for set, and it's out sometime this month.

    Zombies aren't actually mentioned
  13. The non-magical to magical balance post-GR has been:

    Nova Praetoria First Ward
    Imperial City Dark Astoria
    Neutropolis Night Ward
    Atlas Park

    I left off the Mercy Island revamp, as it wasn't as big as the Atlas one - although shifting the focus from Snakes to Longbow seems to be some kind of move away from magic to tech.

    Before Night Ward was added, Post GR tech zones were outnumbering magical zones 2-1
  14. Welcome to the game and the forums

    Just saying.
    In case you missed it, GR was kinda light on magic - along with the Atlas Park revamp

    Devs, information on the internet is like the jelly center of a jelly donut, once the jelly comes out of that little hole(portal) it is out and it's not going back in.
    They probably have a standard deleting response to leaks like this, and then they assess how many people saw the leak, and how far it's spread, and then review the first delete.

    Or she might help us with an army of freed Seers

  22. They said on UStream that while I23 is meant to tie up the Praetorian storyline, everything won't be wrapped up, and we'll eventually find out what the deal is with the Hamidon there.

    Night Ward is a Praetorian zone.
    Google is a search engine.
