  1. By the way, I didn't hear anything about the arena being moved to Atlas from Galaxy.

    Why the sorrow?
  3. I think it should have at least one screen-shake effect in it

  5. A mall in Atlas Park would be a very cool way of showing up the stuff in the store - like the Icon dummies showing off the costume parts.
  6. A Titan Weapon Stalker might be funny, especially with AS
  7. Does anyone else think that players fighting both loyalists and DE on the Underground Trial while "attempting to get to the bottom of a very important piece of information - a secret that once uncovered will shatter the world of Praetoria pretty much permanently" is kinda hinting that Tyrant and the Hamidon might be a little more friendly than his propaganda suggests?

    It's planning ahead - they're creating content for a specific Issue, just like they always do.
    They "hold back" completed stuff all the time.

    Precinct 5 is quite a large map for a tutorial - plus, the new Galaxy City tutorial is for potential Heroes and potential Villains, so they both need their space

    By the way, something else I really like about the destruction of Glaxt City is the way it seems to be our first genuine disaster zone - all the other oens in the game, like the Hollows, Boomtown, the RWZ and so on take place some time after the main disaster/destruction has happened - but the new tutorial looks like it's in takes place almost directly after the meteroite strike - I think it's going to make the situation there seem more chaotic and urgent and dynamic than in the other disaster zones.

    Free Going Rogue

    By the time I21 goes live, it'll very likely be over a year since GR launched.

    On the one hand, all the previous co-op zones have been 35-50 - but on the other hand, Praetorian zones are also all technically co-op.
    The epic feel of the zone, and the stuff in it, does sound more like a 35-50 place, and with it being the place where Primal Earth and Praetoria blend togther, that sounds like Vanguard will be invovled in getting us there to fight Tyrant and the DE, which was implied in Dark Watcher's arc in GR, and Vanguard tend to be a more high level group.

    We've seen the output of a single shard of Paragon Studios for the past two-and-a-half issues. It has been very focused (as you'd expect), and there were no hints that the other shards were working on something else altogether. That's the problem.
    Yes there were

    You need to unlock it if you don't sub to the game - Praetoria is only available to the people who pay to play.

    It will need a hybrid sub model too - although the 9 figure budget means that could be kinda tricky - expect lifeitme subs at the start for a quick return on the investment, then a tierd sub plan and item shop a little later on
  16. By thew way, the Seed launched "fighters" out of "docking bays", according to the devs - so it sounds like an organic flying aircraft carrier.

    Not gonna happen

    At this stage, there'll be no major changes to the new set up that's been outlined to us - it's already been worked out and planned for.
    When I21 goes live, all 15 current servers will be open to everyone, and there'll be a new 16th server open to subs only.
  18. Are there any DS MMs nearby?

    But that'd just be a normal lightsabre - a Vanguard staff would be lead to lots of xXd4RtH/\/\4u1Xx types
  20. You can buy them with the 400 Paragon Points you get per month as a subscriber

    A lightsabre?
    Although that'd probably be called a "Vanguard staff"
  22. The other power set hinted at by the devs today is almost certainly 2-handed weapons:

    Team Inspirations sound good too
  23. The 2-handed thing was the stand-out thing in the article - it'll look awesome

    So yes, Mercy is getting a revamp too.
    Mercy Island isn't getting the major graphics revamp that Atlas Park is - the devs said they quite liked the current look of Mercy Island, so it had a smaller graphics upgrade - but both zones have had a total mission overhaul.
