    Newer low-level content that has nothing to do with Incarnates is also about the Praetorians. There is no good reason for this.
    There is - it's to make the Praetorian storyline have a smoother transition from Praetorian to Primal Erath.

    The Praetorian storyline has already been the focus of i18, i19, and i20. That in and of itself is an unprecedented focus on a single enemy and a single storyline, leaving people who don't care for that enemy or storyline out in the cold for a very very long time, with no end in sight.
    At a guess, Anti-Matter's Trial will be in I21, and the Hamidon Trial will be I22 - with a potential confrontation with Tyrant still to come

    There's already way more non-Praetorian stuff in the game, so now they're trying to balance it out a bit - and Praetoria will always be a part of the Incarnate system, because that's where the first Trials atke place - you need to progress through them to continue on the Incarnate path.
  5. It's body could be under the city, but its tentacles could reach all the way to the area outside.
    Or as it's a basic cell, it could divide itself into separate tentacles that aren't attached to the body - like it could spawn them from itself as a kind of pet summoning attack.
  6. Citadel could be revamped to take into account the return of the 5th Column, so they could use the Council-5th Column conflict as part of the storyline.

    Underground Praetoria? Something's odd about that...
    Praetoria City is built on the site of Tyrant's first vitory over the Hamidon - and the exact spot is in the park in Imperial City - it's marked with a plaque.
    Plus, there are those creepy bubbling/roaring sounds you can hear from time to time in the Underground - it migth just be the pipes though

  12. There might be a slight increase in PvP activity with the upcoming merging of the Euro and American server lists - a lot fo the Euro PvPers might want to try out PvP on Freedom server, for example.

    Up to 396 extra slots for Euro players, access to the normal Beta sever, with no more Test server lock-outs during closed betas, timezone differences meaning that even off-peak on the Euro servers could see increased activity from American players using them, and improved contact with the devs by removing the need to host every event twice for the two separate server lists?

    Probably that whole "protecting millions of innocent Praetorians" thing that Heroes are forced to do, instead of the more heroic option of unleashing a word-destroying mosnter.
  15. The next 2 Incarnate Trials invovle Anti-Matter's reactors, and the Hamidon in the Underground - and I'm not sure that either of those will provide options for the stiff-armers either

    I think it'll be the opposite, actually

    Or in the case of Vigilance server, it might go to the Canadians
  17. Assumign that the list merge means they'll scrap the Euro Test server along with making the Beta sever open to everyone, that's going to totally smooth things like in-game events and testing - there'll be no need for the devs to have Euro accounts to go visit the Euro servers, and no need for separate Euro and American events on the two separate Test servers.
    It also menas that the Euro players can use the normal Beta server for testing, and the new combined Test server wonät need to be locked while a closed beta is going on.

    I think it's more from the point of view of selling the game - normal clothes simply don't look as intertesting as costumes when it comes to attracting attention from potential players - screenshots of 3 new styles of T-shirt aren't as likely to get as much attention as screenshots of animal heads, for example.

    Union isn't known for its wit or intelligence - Euro side, it has a similar reputation to Freedom server
  20. The Paragon City Museum should be in Atlas Park - maybe in palce of some of the more industrial buildings.
  21. I have a T-shirt with 2 horses on it - does that count for anything?
  22. I'm still working on making a pdf that isn't too fuzzy, but also not too big to upload.

    But in the meantime, I came up with a quick cover and title yesterday - neither of which are really very spectacular, but both of them give an idea of what the comic might be about - I hope

    Actually, Washington is only asking you to cut out the middle part of the standard 3-step process for dealing with opponents of Tyrant's dictatorship - normally, it goes arrest -> torture -> execution, and as Cleo would probably have quite a lot of info on the Resistance, the cause of protecting the dictatorship would actually be best served by not killing her, so that she could be tortured for that information, and maybe lead you to discovering other opponents of Tyrant.
    But because Marauder would step in the moment she was arrested, you can't carry out the standard 3-step process, so Washington asks you to pick the second best option to protect the dictatorship, and skip straight to the execution stage.
    Loyalists are still doing their duty to the dictatorship by killing her, because even though it means losing the opportunity to possibly get some valuable info from, her, it's still better for them than having Marauder set her free - you're just going arrest -> execution instead of arrest -> torture -> execution.

  25. I always enjoy these - even if the Beta server isn't very stable for me
