    And non-Praetorian Incanrate content enemies could eventually unlock pet upgrades

Darrin Wade or someone like him will be the contact.
    Not gonna happen
    All co-op content has to be heroic, otherwise it's not going to be co-cop

    Flagging my character is as pro-active as I can be. It took everything in me just to do that, and my hands shook so violently that I might not have been able to accept an invitation if one had come my way that first night.
    But you're ok with making several thousand posts on a fourm, and advertising your global chat handle and a global channel in your sig?
  4. The Incarnate system is open-ended

    I didn't see it, but didn't look to hard. Does anyone know how many people it takes to start the new TF and SF?
    The new blue side TF from Admiral Sutter needs 4 to start - I'd guess the new red side one would be similar.

    Well, there's:

    Quote:
    "People are weak. At least when it comes to doing the right thing. That is why you cannot give them the choice to do what is wrong. I have done so in Praetoria, and look at how it has flourished. Primal Earth, however, allows this to continue, even with some of the worst examples of humanity. That is why it must be wiped away. They know of our perfect world and already, as you have seen, they seek to destroy us.

    People, when left to their own free will, will seek only to destroy that which is good, that which is pure. I will not give them the option to do that. I will strike them down before they can actand ensure that no others ever get the chance to make that choice, the choice to destroy. Humanity cannot be trusted with that choice of destruction; only someone like myself can."

    I didn't see the bit in the I20 overview where they said they were going to remove the 7 years of solo content already in the game.

    You need to be slightly more proactive - fewer people look at the flags now, so just go to the zone the WST starts in, and lurk by the contact - or even use a global channel to say you're looking to join WST, or start one.

    He want's to bring peace to the multiverse, and create a dimension-spanning utopia across the cosmos - a noble goal for anyone

    I give it an A+

    One possible clue about Tyrant and Rularuu might be Penelope Yin calling Tyrant the "Shadow Lord" - which sounds suitably evil and menacing, but it could also be hinting at Tyrant being the face of something bigger.

    There's more to Tyrant's invasion than "wanting to break things"

    Well, the game is called City of Heroes

    The Praetorians can feel proud of themselves for having joined Longbow and Arachnos in the trifecta of factions people got sick of almost as soon as they were introduced.

    In the meantime, the 5th Column made the world's most embarrassing comeback I've ever seen, but apparently we don't talk about that.
    Well, Tyrant and the loyalists have kinda stolen Reichsman's Nazi thunder

    Well, you're getting the same in I20 - they just call themselves loyalists instead of 5th Column

    Perhaps the Well has gone mad because it's been taken over by Rualruu, who is going to use Tyrant to break the Shadow Shard prison?

    Yes - it's the first mission of the new Hero TF from Admiral Sutter - the server shut down before we could complete it, so we don't know if it's used later on in the TF or not - we were fighting War Walkers on Talos Island when we were kicked out

    I wonder if the 9000+ is meant as a reference to that meme?
