    I think the flyng sword thing might be linked to Battle Maiden or her warrior followers, as she seems to be the main AV on the Apex TF.
  2. Unless they change it from the GR beta, then Incarnate powers will turn off for any content below 50.

    Technically, you don't actually have to make a genuine one until 20
  4. Something I've not heard mentioned yet is if Primal Earth people can enter Praetoria at any level, or if only 20+ avatars will be able to get in.
    Form what they've said so far, it sounds like it'll be 1-50 - although 20+ would also make sense to match the level Praetorians can go to Primal Earth.
  5. Tyrant's bio on the GR website mentions the Hamdion having tentacles and claws, so the Praetorian Hamidon = tentacles idea has been around since even before the GR closed beta.
    You can also see a propaganda poster in some of the Praetorian office maps showing a huge tentacled monster outside the sonic fence.

    Well, it could be a Freedom Corps medical officer - they might be sent to the more dangerous zones instead of the normal civilian doctors and nurses.

    Yeah - I thought they'd have mentioned that when they brought up the statistics.

    Also, it's amazing how close that's cut.
    The devs seemed quite surprised about it too, saying how it was way closer than the Hero-Villain split on Primal Earth.

    Well, there'll be other ones later on, but right now, as the focus is on Praetoria and the war with Primal Earth, any new costumes will most likely be tech/military, as those are the types of new enemies that fit the current theme - just like Cimerora saw players get costume parts that suited that theme.

    No, that's one of the medical staff being added to Eden - all the trial zones are getting hospital facilities.

    Well, looking at those I19 screenshots, someone seems to think the same

    And say that if you want them before tomorrow morning you can monitor my channel - they're all in the queue and will probably go up in 3 hour increments.

    Unfortunately, part one isn't very informative.
    I found the part from 11:00 onwards quite interesting

For a game founded on alts and given the short level range of GR that really isn't that high.

    It's a marketing number, nothing more.

    That said, i19 looks pretty solid.
    The statisitcs are only for the first 4 weeks of GR.

    The Goliath War Walker looks even taller than the Kronos Titan

    They tried to, but Black Pebble whispered something into his headset, and now no one can find any trace of them, or even any evidence that they were ever at the meet & greet at all.
  17. That could be possible - if Tyrant killed Richter, then the Weaver probably wouldn't have been assassinated, as there'd be no Recluse.
  18. The problem with fighting Nemesis is that he has so many layers and branches to his plans, that no matter what we do, he seems to have usually anticipated it

    Or he might want us to realize that
  20. I wonder if the new Praetorian misisons will be undercover ones, or more openly Praetorian? And will the contacts be back in Praetoria, or will there be new ones on Primal Earth?
    I think new ones on Primal Earth would be good - some could be ones who took the same route put as you, and there could be some undercover loyalist operatives too, to give missions to the ones still following Tyrant.
    Marchand could also be a phone contact - like once he sees his attempt to prevent the war has failed, he'd probably switch to attempting to end the war as fast as possible, and would need help with doing that from the loyalists who were already on Primal Earth.
  21. There totally needs to be some kind of conversation between Calvin and Sister Psyche too

    Yeah, the wording they use there looks like it's optional, and not totally required.
  23. If the Calvin Scott TF is a revamp, then I'm expecting some Praetoria references in it
  24. I wonder how the new Hero and Villain arcs will tie in with the I19 theme? Like it's be unusal if they were just random additions to the game.

    That's panning out pretty much the way a lot of us were guessing during the GR closed beta - it seems like they're going to keep the content gap in Praetoria, with new Praetorian zones being at a higher level - like 35+ for example.

    And now that the war has started, there's lots of scope for Tyrant to send his followers to Primal Earth to spy and carry out sabotage.

    EDIT: I think they might ned to rewrite the Paretorian exit missions a bit - it seems kinda pointless to be sent to try and stop a war that's already started now
