    But it suits the game - it's in shades of gray with a little bit of Praetorian yellow

    Battle Maiden has been empower by Tyrant via the Well of the Furies

    Actually, it does - co-op content has to be heroic, otherwise Heroes wouldn't be able to play it.

    These are the current co-op contacts in the game:

    Imeprious
    Marcus Valerius
    Lady Gray
    Dark Watcher
    Serpent Drummer
    Gaussian
    Borea
    Levantera
    Apex
    Tin Mage

    None of them give unheroic missions or arcs - they're all based around protecting and saving people and places from enemies ranging from rogue Vangaurd and vigilante Longbow to Rikti, Nemesis, Cimeroran traitors, Nictus, 5th Column and loyalists.

    And now Prometheus is being added to the game as a contact/guide for the new co-op content - which is also about protecting and saving people and palces from the evil loyalists.

    Co-op content is always heroic, because Villains might do something good in the hope of being able to do something evil later, but Heroes will only ever do good things.

    Villains can save the world or try and take it over - Heroes can only ever save the world - so when the devs are making co-op content, it has to be about saving the world, as that's the only option that both sides can play.

    That's correct - Hero content is only ever fighting bad people - like Longbow are a heroic force, but when we fight them, it's because they've turned bad - we're still Heroes.
    Or on Roy Colling's arc - when we fight the PPD, it's only because they've turned bad.
    Every single enemy we fight is a threat to innocent people and often the whole world too - but Villains fight other villain groups all the time, and they're both still evil.

    Him being a co-op contact - co-op = heroic by default

    It won't

    The NCSoft Launcher is a small, stylish and harmless upgrade to the game - after a while, you won't even remember what the old one was like

    In I20, Prometheus says that Tyrant has to be dealt with first before we can start thinking about the Coming Storm.

    The longer it takes for my account to be resolved the more anxious and worried I get . . . .
    If you're uncertain about any e-mails you get, contact one of the Mods here, and ask them to check if it's real or not.

    Don't take too much notice of the more...uh, overwrought comments - anyone who's thinking clearly would relaize that any problems with the Launcher are causing the dev team just as much stress as the players.

    That wouldn't tie in with the Praetorian invasion - any solo Incarnate content would need to be themed around Tyrant's attempt to conquer the multiverse, so it'd match up with the normal stuff.

    The normal character copy tool works for the Beta server as well as the Test server.

    Beata Server

    I'm not sure if everyone's going to be an auto-Incarnate or not, so you should use the normal character copy tool to move an Incarnate avatar onto Beta just to be sure.

    Beta Event

    I'm not sure if they're going to give everyone an Incarnate slot automatically or not, so if you don't already have an Incarnate avatar on the Beta server, you should probably copy one over right away, just to be certain.

    Beta Event

    As long as your Beta server is patched and up to date, that's all you need to do.
  18. You need to be patient about solo Incarnate stuff

    Seriously, I do NOT want this thing.
    It's just a simple launch program - it's not going to hurt you

    Here you go:

    Quote:
    If you have the NCsoft Launcher but do not have the Training Room installed:

    1. Run NCsoft Launcher shortcut to get the latest update.
    2. The NCsoft Launcher will start.
    3. Create a copy of the NCsoft Launcher desktop shortcut.
    4. Right click on the new shortcut and open the Properties option.
    5. In the Target window, add the following flag to the end of the line:
    [space]/LaunchGame=CohTest
    6. Run the shortcut.
    7. The NCsoft Launcher will open, starting a City of Heroes Test installation.
    8. Click Install.
    9. If you are on Windows Vista or Windows 7, confirm the UAC prompts. (if UAC is turned on).
    10. After the installation completes, double-click CITY OF HEROES TEST in the NCsoft Launcher’s games list to play.

    If Tyrant strengthens his ties with the Rikti, we might get a lot more of them - I think the Lineage of War might find an offer of empowerment via the Well to be very attractive

    Don't forget that Tyrant's armies are the only Incarnate enemies we've fought so far - Tyrant might form alliances with other known and unknown factions in the multiverse, who he'd then empower via the Well - so there might be other pet options further down the line.
