Except that my Villain has probably saved the world/city about as often as your heroes have. All while dealing with the politics and inter factional wars of Arachnos.

Because while Villains(in game) do questionable things

The devs have kinda hinted that there might be some more proliferation in I21.

they're basically trash that came from a trash country.

And what is this 606 thing when it's at home?

Quote:The entire Praetorian storyline, from level 1 in GR through level 50 Incarnate Trials and TFs, is aimed at players fighting Tyrant - neither of the 1-20 loyalist paths have an ending where you can serve Tyrant - and the invasion plans are carefully written to show that every superpowered person on Primal Earth will be wipd out - the game gives no logical reason for any Primal Earth person or Praetorian to side with Tyrant.Originally Posted by Unknown_User
Hmmm, doesn't seem like fun if in the end the game makes you to stab the Tyrant in the back. Where's the fun in that?

Quote:And then leave him again to take part in the co-op Incarnate system?Originally Posted by Unknown_User
I like the idea for expanding content for Praetoria, and love the idea of Primals ditching Recluse or Statesman and signing up under Emperor Cole's banner.
I think the only loyalist or Resistance interaction we'd be likely to get would be contacts for either side that Primal Erath people could work with - either genuinely helping the Resistance, as fighting Tyrant is the meta-storyline - or helping the loyalists, but for your own goals - you could offer to fight for Tyrant, but use the situation to your advantage, and then desert the loyalists later on once you'd used them for your own agenda. -
Praetoria was never planned, written or developed as a 3rd faction - its entire purpose is to create a new starting experience that feeds into the normal blue and red factions, and to set up and epic level threat for Heroes and Villains to fight in the Incarnate system.
An expansion for Praetoria is almost certain - but it's almost certain to be linked to the normal Primal Earth factions, as we take the fight to Tyrant and his loyalist thugs.
The 1-20 content was wrapped up by 20 - the major questions and mysteries about Praetoria that were left after GR are linked more to the Incarnate content. -

The biggest problem with many of the arguments about "the bad guys" is simply this: Nobody ever sets out to be evil.

Quote:The Trials are co-op, so they have to be something all 4 alignments can do - the Anti-Matter Trial will be heroic, just like the rest of the co-op content against Tyrant and his loyalist thugs.Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
Ooo, can we, please? I'd feel a lot better about villains tagging along on Vigilante missions than on heroic missions. Besides, there isn't really any Vigilante content in the game, and now that it's a legitimate alignment, there should be. Vanguard would be a good group to hand some out.

Quote:Which is accurateOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
The entire game goes for this aesthetic life-lesson that evil, even at its best, is still a thin veneer of surface beauty stretched over the skeleton of corruption and decay

Congratulations!

What exactly is the point of this discussion?

Quote:Tyrant and Dominatrix sitting in a tree?Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Praetorian Marcus Cole is totally different than Primal. Praetorian Megan Duncan is totally different than Primal.
Might as well say, "They do in the apple tree", because it has just as much relevance. -
Quote:They do in Praetoria.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
That's totally different than being in detached from humanity in general, especially romantically. Familial bonds don't work the same way.

Quote:The new zone has contacts and story arcs.Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
With you all the way here Bill. I wonder if this "New Zone" will be something like Ouroboros or similar - a zone but with no content in its own right, just a place to access existing content solo... maybe de-tuned TFs so that "casual" players can solo the Lady Grey TF in 35 minutes without needing a team.

Quote:Well, he's allowed a few slip-ups - he mostly follow the list quite wellOriginally Posted by Scythus
It's still a breach of the Evil Overlord list as it refers to all minions, not just the commanders.
-
Quote:Those are just the grunts - the Commanders have bare headsOriginally Posted by Scythus
I dunno about that... I'm pretty sure he's violated quite a few of the rules that're on it. Re: Faceless goons. Those IDF helms sure make it easy for a hero to snag a disguise which is a big no-no on the Evil Overlord list.

Quote:Read it? I think he wrote itOriginally Posted by Scythus
So you're saying Tyrant's read the Evil Overlord list?
-
The best I can offer is that depending on your costume and alignment, I could probably add you to one of mine sometime in the future - although that's not really the same as having your own one
-
Back at Hero Con 2009, it was mentioned that Tyrant and his Praetors "work magic - sometimes literally" to keep the people of Paretoria "safe".

Quote:I think they'd still fire on us anyway - acording to the invasion plans, Tyrant wants to wipe every superpowered person out, so the calls for us to surrender would just be a trick to make the fight way easierOriginally Posted by reiella
True, but, they may confuse that with you doing another combat animation. After all, if, you do use that emote don't they still fire on you?
Taking prisoners would just mean he'd have to divert more of his resources to watch over them, and it's unlikely that he'd be planning top try and brain-wash them to fight on his side, as all that effort isn't really needed when he has his Olympian Guard cloning program.
