Quote:And non-Praetorian Incanrate content enemies could eventually unlock pet upgradesJudging from the screenshots downloaded from the Sneak Peak today by Master Zaprobo, the answer is that they are "the essence of defeated enemies drawn forth from the Well of the Furies"; since at present Incarnate content means fighting Praetorians, it makes a certain sense that they are Praetorian critters.

Quote:Not gonna happenHere's my prediction: some time in the future villains will try to release Rularuu from his prison in order to use him as a weapon against Praetoria and Tyrant. Heroes will be allowed to tag along on this scheme to potentially destroy a world, just like villains had to tag along on schemes to protect it before. Darrin Wade or someone like him will be the contact.

All co-op content has to be heroic, otherwise it's not going to be co-cop

Quote: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?I'm mentally ill. Social anxiety disorder. If I were dying of dehydration, I wouldn't be capable of asking for a sip of water, and if it were offered, I'd insist that I'm fine and struggle on without it until I dropped dead.
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.

The Incarnate system is open-ended

Quote:They have more or less the same objective if you break it all down to "rule/eat the world" or "profit." Their motives are very different. We don't know Tyrant's.
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." -

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.

Quote:He want's to bring peace to the multiverse, and create a dimension-spanning utopia across the cosmos - a noble goal for anyoneCole seemed interesting as a foe of primal earth. It seemed he was the well-meaning dictator who did bad things out of paranoia for preservation. But if the praetorians are just another bland conquering force, that depth is gone. He wants to conquer. Why? Conquering is what villains do, I guess.

Quote:Penelope Yin calls Tyrant "the Shadow Lord" - which might just be an evil sounding name, or it could be a hint that Tyrant is just a shadow of something elseA confusing and inexplicable plot twist does not suddenly turn a confusing and inexplicable plot point into a clever one.

One of the badges for the Lambda Sector Trial could cause a bit of weeping at first

It's not a permanent problem

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. -

Quote:There's more to Tyrant's invasion than "wanting to break things"The "strong bad guy wants to come and break things" as a glorified Mayhem mission would be is merely the default easiest to write, not the only possibility.

Well, the game is called City of HeroesQuote:So much of the most recent "banding together" just feels like hero content that villains are let in on
Some people - not allQuote: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. 
You can have 3 guessesQuote:I can't wait to see what I21 does. 
Well, Tyrant and the loyalists have kinda stolen Reichsman's Nazi thunderQuote: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.

Quote:Well, you're getting the same in I20 - they just call themselves loyalists instead of 5th ColumnNote that "getting to punch Nazis" was all i15 gave to me, and it was enough.

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?Quote:is anyone else disappointed in the plot they're pushing forward? I could maybe buy into the whole "The Well's gone mad is empowering Cole" idea...but turning Cole into a conqueror of the multiverse? We kind of already have one of those...he's called Rularuu.

Quote:When I saw them, the first thing I thoght of was people using them as submarines or spaceships in the AEThose ship interiors look fantastic! I'm glad it isn't just more cargo holds.

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
