Quote:And what happens to your access to the Incarnate cotnent if you stop subbing right now, even if you bought GR?This right here is Incorrect. You MUST Buy Going Rogue to access Incarnate content, yet when f2p goes live and if you downgrade to a Premium account you LOSE access to incarnate content, which you PAID for access to with Going Rogue. THAT really burns my biscuit and is downright wrong for them to do!

Quote:You mean in the same way that people who don't currently pay their sub don't get any access to the game at all?So premium players who have Going Rogue are going to be punished for having bought the content and spending the money.
Right now, if someone stops paying for the game, they totally lose all acccess to everything on the game, including the stuff they've paid for - CoH: Freedom changes that, and allows people to stop paying for the game, but still access large parts of it. -

It's just UStream stuff

Quote:There are still some secrets and surprises in Praetoria - and what's going on in First Ward is something that will affect the entire multiverseAnd that's why Praetoria feels so utterly shallow. There is literally nothing more to explore. First Ward is just going to be a tacked on zone, not a logical progression of the story, because that story has nowhere to go.

Quote:And it's also foreshadowing the Coming Storm part of the Incarnate content, which is a great way of tying in the sub-50 expereince with the post-50 one, so that running into the Shivans and their friends again once you're an Incarnate will have more emotional weight to it because you'll have already encountered them and the destruction they can cause when you were level 1.Well, the whole tutorial and beginning zone arcs are being re-written, so, we'll see how the Devs do telling the story that newbies need to know.
I'm also hoping they add some Praetorian fireshadoing to the new sub-20 training missions, so make the path to facing Tyrant and the loyalists in the Incarnate content start way earlier than the Admiral Sutter TF at 20, or the Maria Jenkins arc at 45 - although First Ward as a 20-25 zone will help to introduce the Praetorian threat much earlier that the PI arcs. -
Quote:The Furies will get more of a mention in First WardThat is an extremely oblique reference that most wouldn't even get.
One of the reasons I'm disappointed in the Incarnate content is that it doesn't present the kind of scope of being an Incarnate that the novels and comics suggested.
In the comics and novels, Hades is an actual place you (well Statesman at least) can go. The Furies, the stuff in the comic with Prometheus, all points to this vast plane of existence of gods and such that we as Incarnates still don't see or even glimpse.
We're unceremoniously 'inducted' into being an Incarnate and whop-de-doo, we get to hang out with Prometheus in Ouroboros of all places and he talks down to us. We've yet to meet any pantheons of elder beings or get to step outside of Earthly bounds. It's just "well, there's the Well and it's a jerk. Go concern yourself with fighting robots in Praetoria."
If there is a world of gods and demigods, as Incarnates we're certainly not them and we're very much looking in from the outside with a grouchy blue has-been who wont even be straight with us.
Plus, defeating Tyrant and the loyalists is just the first stage of the Incarnate path - you can't expect to meet gods right away

Quote:That might be because there isn't any differenceDid you buy Going Rogue? If you didn't, then you are missing a couple of powersets.
More to the point, did you pre-order it so you could get early access to those powersets?
I'm not sure that I see the qualitative difference between spending $30 on Going Rogue and all of its associated content, or spending $5 to get just Dual Pistols.

Quote:Some power sets will be free, others will be in the marketIf they charge VIP members for these new powersets... Members that are ALREADY paying a regular monthly sub and probably have been for years, I doubt they'll stay VIP members for long.
I know I sure as hell won't. Booster packs are enough, but paying extra for powerset when I'm already paying? Get stuffed!

You should get a "Master of Master of Lambda Sector" badge

I'd like to ask a question, but this subject has zero effect on me

Knockback is how you teach Crey snipers that they've been making poor life choices.

Quote:I think you should reconsider thati highly doubt that they will make VIPs pay for this kind of stuff, booster related stuff, yes, but powersets no, we are getting time manip for free being VIPs, so i doubt we would get different treatment for another powerset

I'm sure that the new signature arcs will provide a bit of backstory info

I think one of the main problems with putting Praetorian content into Ouroboros is the way that it flags you as a Praetorian - they'd need to be able to disable that flag for non-Praetorians to be able to use it without turning them into Praetorians.
