    He's already been defeated by us - Mother Mayhem is the one being built up as having an empire-within-an-empire, and is being kept hidden from players in the same way that Tyrant is - and First Ward is just building her up even more.

    Tyrant needs to keep an eye on Mother Mayhem

    East Coast Quake

    I think my horse felt this coming just before it hit - I was brushing him down, and he went totally still for like a minute before the quake hit.

    Yes - every single item from every single booster pack will be available in the new Paragon Market.

    He could have asked us to help with the Hamidon

    Do you think Alexander the Great was a hero, or a villain?
    With the haircut he had in that movie, he was a villain

    I wonder where trying to conquer the entire multiverse comes in on the hubris scale?

    If that was the case, then they wouldn't be villains
  8. Will there be any live UStream broadcasts from PAX?
  9. I thought that this was going to be a guide to help people make more imaginative use of the trenchcoat.

    The Celestial VIP pack sounds more likely. Now, to find out how I get my hands on THAT. Just saw someone in Atlas with what looked like a rainbow arced behind his head. Hmmmm.
    That will be the Celestial outfit then - the back piece/high collar is a sort of fancy ring that sits between the shoudlers and tilts away from the head a bit.

    So where does that leave the Battalion then?

    Just change "Invention system" for "Incarnate system" and you'll be fine
  13. Would you like us to get off the new higher resolution grass in Atlas Park?
  14. And wait untill you see who ended up ruling the Miidnight Mansion

  16. As the actual 8-arc zone storyline for First Ward is very biased towards Heroes/Resistance, I'm assuming the repeatable loyalist missions there will involve trying to carry out these plans to disrupt the Carnival.

    That won't be such a problem in I21 - they're reducing the cap for the max number of players in almost every zone in I21.
  18. The Trials for the Coming Storm will redefine the awesome button

    The Well isn't the only source of vast power in the multiverse - the Battalion might have found another one after they failed to conquer the Rikti

    Not really - of all the various lore things used to explain game mechanics, the idea of a tailor devoted to creating outfits for superheroes, based on the way superheroes are portrayed in the game, is actually pretty sensible.

    Actually, found mention of it

    From the November 2005 PC Gamer:



    Of course, that is incredibly ancient news and no doubt has changed (especially since it was based on the scrapped skills system).
    The Battalion have been described as a threat even greater than Tyrant and the loyalists - and since the new Underground Trial introduces the first level shifted enemies - 54+1 Goliath War Walkers, it's quite possible the Battalion could be entirely level shifted, requiring the Incarnate system powers to defeat them - so that old news might still be quite up-to-date, but tweaked slightly
  22. Another problem for the Mysterious Letter Writer - apart from having Protean working for him - is that while he continues to add small text additions to our Clues window, the devs continue to add more and more substantial content to Ouroboros - gameplay wise, his offer to join with him is looking more and more like the potential fast path to Incarnate power that was brought up during Mender Ramiel's arc
  23. The Underground Trial gives a huge amount of both types of IXP - it could be come very popular

    Well, at least until they add new types of IXP for the next slots

    Not that much gets changed in Open Beta anyway.
