    I think that there's a lot of product being used there

  5. The fact that these vanity items keep getting added to the market would kinda suggest that people are buying them

    They're doing a pretty good job of delivering something new to the market each Tuesday

  14. I've finally finished my 3rd comic for newer players - although it actually took a little less time that I thought it would

    http://goldengirlcoh.deviantart.com/...over-289970138

    As usual, I'll try and get it put into PDF form as soon as possible - until then, you can just click through the links attached to each page

    Timeline/lore wise, like the previous 2, this is also set before the Praetorian War/Galaxy City disaster/"Who Will Die", as it was planned out and written around the time GR launched, with a few tweaks here and there to reflect the post GR content





    The cast list was kindly contributed by the following 5 players:

    Captain Electric @Captain-Electric
    Green Witch @Nanas
    Infernal Oblivion @Golden Destroyer
    Shadow Wail @Shadow Wail
    Phantom Operative @GenomeX

    Then again there is Paragonwiki. . . so nevermind then.
    It doesn't always have to be Trials - like so far, Hero 1's story has been told with a TF, and 2 normal mission arcs - while the Clockwork King only appears in 2 TFs at the moment.
    The devs just pick the mission type and mission tech that they think will be the best way of communicating the story they want to tell to the players - like the way they chose to explore pre-war Praetorian Earth with solo and standard 1-8 story arcs, then switched to TFs and 8-24 Trials to show the massive threat of the now Well-empowered loyalists.

    The problem with that approach is that it might not always suit the story they're trying to tell - all the mission types and mission tech are just story-telling tools.
    For example, the DD Trial gets an important part of its story set up from Dominatrix's solo-only non-combat mission, and Diabolique's motivation for being in Dark Astoria is presented in a standard story arc - so the devs have used solo, 1-8 and 8-16 missions to tell her full story.

    I think that you're thinking of the Rularuu = the Coming Storm theory, based on the Stormwatcher badge, even though Prometheus, Silos and the Dream Doctor all say that it's the Battalion, not the letter writer = the Dream Doctor theory, which was supported by several clues, with nothing really saying that he wasn't the letter writer
  19. Well, the Dream Doctor was either at the top of the letter writer guessing list, or pretty close to it - from the moment clues were given in I12

    Am i a giant?

    If we get more of Prometheus' Titan friends showing up, we might end up with a whole NPC group who are giants - I think it'd be cool to see their mission maps, with everything scaled to about 3 times our own size -there's be like huge hallways, and massive stairs, and rooms the size of caves, and lots of columns, with a sort of "techno-classical" style to everything - a sci-fi take on ancient Greek architecture.
