Quote:Or maybe quite a few players actually like the Trials?Originally Posted by Fritzy
Building the endgame around Trials is beyond ridiculous and silly; it's an insane way to plan a game. Still shocked so many of you have bought into it - the lure of new shinies and 'keeping up with the Joneses' must be too tempting to resist.

I think some of the mission maps in First Ward will use tilted and flooded office maps.

This is all very cool.
Will the Praetorian tutorial be getting a loading screen comic too? To introduce players to what Praetoria is all about? -
Quote:I think they'll take on board the feedback about the less-than-perfect portrayal of Sister Psyche - there's still a while to go before I21 goes live, and it wouldn't take too much tweaking to give her a more shocked-but-determined expression, rather than the current hand-wringingly helpless one.Originally Posted by ArwenDarkblade
Are you guys serious about this Sister P art? She looks like a sex doll, and on top of that she looks completely incompetent and unprepared for battle. BAB is all ready to go, has his game face on, and she's like "Golly gee, I have no idea what to do! I'm frightened even though I'm the second most powerful psychic in the world!" Come on. Not only does she deserve better, but so do all the women who play this game. Have you forgotten how many of us there are?
How about giving her, and by extension all the women who play this game, some dignity? How about not making her look like an empty-headed sex object?
What ever happened to all the squawking about "Having female pets for Masterminds would be sexist!"? Did you forget that argument? How about all us women who WANT female minions, and DO NOT want to be depicted as vapid second-rate heroes who are barely more than sidekicks? -
Quote:No - the Precinct 5 Praetorian tutorial will still be there.Originally Posted by Wondering_Fury
Surely if it replaces the current tutorials, and the previous ones are locked into Ouroboros, then it is the only tutorial?

So, to be clear here...
I can make villain ATs (all of them) as a hero without ever having to touch Praetoria or villain side again?

From the UStream chat today, the Avatar of the Hamidon in the Underground Trial is "kind of a big walking beast" - which sounds like it'll be a way more mobile fight than the current Hamidon raid.

Quote:If you want numbers, there's a 4th Trial coming in I21, and a lot more being added afetr thatOriginally Posted by Infernus_Hades
No, I don't like it and I will continue to say it until I freaking quit for good. FEEDBACK is what the Devs use to make decisions and if we all drink Enriche and be good little farmers then the Devs believe all is well. All is NOT well and I would like some hard numbers on how many players get to tier 4 on ANY characters. I will bet a lot of players never bother getting Alpha and after one or 2 trials never go back.
The forums are a small sliver of the player base and don't confuse signal to noise ratio of the apologists as fact. I would like numbers.
The devs datamine a lot - that's one of their main lines of feedback - and the results of that datamining are more Trials.
Any solo path will always be quite a bit slower than the main Trial path - the Incarnate system is designed around Trials, so that's the important part to get right first - a solo option is more of an add-on.Quote:Originally Posted by Infernus_Hades
Vast difference in - mindset.
Devs saying we hear you and we will look into it - is vastly different from Devs saying we know some of you love to solo and we have it planned and it will take time to implement.
The very fact they had to wait for feedback for a solo path to be looked at astounds me. -
Quote:Which we didOriginally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Some of us assumed that we'd be getting, y'know, something City of Heroes style

Quote:They'll get used to it - just like all then other changes to the game over the yearsOriginally Posted by Matthew_Orlock
I'm still surprised people are complaining about getting actual Endgame content that allows progress passed Level 50 after SEVEN YEARS!

Quote:Yeah, that bit's great - he really feels like a crazed supervillain throwing everything at us.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
I do like the fact that Anti-Matter gets to be a total badass out in the open, which just proves that Neuron is a dirty tech stealer and Cole is blinded by Neurons toady attitude.

Quote:Not gonna happenOriginally Posted by SuperOz
Firstly, I'll be glad when Positron gets raiding out of his system.
Some people still seem to be a ittle confused about the Trials and the Incarnate system - there's no end to them - there's no point at which it canbe said that they're "done" or "fnished".
Psitron hs said that players will "always be chasing the next big thing" - the Trials will "end" when the TFs "end", or the story arcs "end" - it's open ended content, and the Trails are the main feature of the endgame system, which is also endless. -
Quote:I think it'll still be available via Ouroboros - but in I21, there'll be no such thing as starting as a Hero or a Villain - the enw tutorial will allow you to make an avatar using any of the 12 ATs, and then enter the chaos of Galaxy City as a "neutral" - you'll then be able to help either BAB and Sister Psyche, or join with Recluse and his Arachnos troops who have arrived to take advantage of the mayhem.Originally Posted by Xanatos
Haha that's absolutely awesome.
Don't get rid of breakout though! Breaking out of jail as the first move in a villain's career is awesome!
Instead of simply clicking an icon when you make a new avatar, it seems that the new Tutorial will be about talking with and interacting with some of the signature characters to let you decide which side to take - it's a way more dynamic and lore-focused way of introducing players to the Hero/Villain battle that's at the heart of the game. -
Quote:The new tutroial will be shorter and more dynamic than the Praetorian tutorial - there will be a further series of training missions form 5-19 to add more info for new players, rather than trying to squeeze it all into a 10 minute tutorial.Originally Posted by Necrotron
The Praetorian tutorial explains all the needed concepts and answers pertinent questions. For instance, after a brief go at attacking some dummy robots, the contact has a conversation option where you can ask why your powers take so long to recharge; at which point he says you get more powers soon enough to chain them up. Thoughtfulness like that teaches new players what they need to know. I see no reason this new tutorial will be any different.

Quote:No - the new Galaxy City tutorial will replace ther current blue side Outbreak tutorial and red side Breakout tutorial.Originally Posted by Gilfred
1.) Is this tutorial the only tutorial in the game when City of Heroes Freedom launches?
No - the Praetorian tutorial willr emain - what it does mean though is that they might tweak the avatar creation screen to be a choice between making a Praetorian or a Primal, rather than the current Hero, Villain and Paretorian choice.Quote:Does this mean that the devs are shelving the praetoria tutorial?
The 1-20 Praetorian content is remaining unchanged in I21 - and a new 20-25 Praetorian and Primal co-op zone is being added to expand it.Quote:If the praetoria tutorial no longer exists after City of Heroes Freedom, then does that mean that no one will be able to enter praetoria at all?
The 1-20 GR content will not change in I21 - the loyalist and Resistance choices will remain the same - alhtough it's not been said yet if there will be loyalist and Resistance choices available in the new 20-25 co-op zone.Quote:Does this mean that no one will be able to be a loyalist or chose resistance and play through the entire praetoria story arc?
No - Praetoria is an important part of the CoH universe, and is the setting for the first stages of the Incarnate system.Quote:Does this mean that the only thing that Going Rogue was for is just to improve the graphics for the main game?
No - Praetoria gives players an alternative low level experience in a distinctive world which is an important part of the meta-story of the fight against Tyrant and the loyalists to save the multiverse.Quote:Does this mean that the only thing that Going Rogue was for is to make the incarnate system possible?
Issue 21 will reduce the current 3 tutorials to 2 - Praetorian and Primal.Quote:Or will there be a choice of tutorials if you have Going Rogue active on your account, where a pop up would say Primal (Galaxy City) or Praetorian? -

I can't wait to give this a try but I won't have time until tomorrow or possibly Sunday. UGH.
It makes me wonder what tricks Tyrant and the Hamidon will have available to them when we confront them

You're right, there is a option of incarnate progression outside of the trials. But it is not a very friendly one.

Not for me. Did you miss my comment about my total suckage? Don't think I've completed a single trial and the utter failures have discouraged me from making many attempts.
