Quote:Endgame content is the Incarnate system, for making 50s more powerful - it has nothing to do with ending the gameOriginally Posted by KingCrazy
I know this is slightly off topic, and I'm guessing many people have already asked this, or someone's going to bash me for my lack of knowledge, but may I asked what this "End game content" that I keep hearing about, means? I'm hoping it doesn't mean the end of CoH itself...
That's what made me bring it up, plus it was on my mind for awhile. Sorry if this is too out of place.

I realy hope we can still fully slot Fitness when it becomes part of the inherent set.

Can someone explain what the hell that even means? The game's stats show stances? What, like it's got a built in RottenTomatoes metacritic engine? And "going good" has been overwhelmingly more popular than the reverse, which is.... "good going?"

I use all 4 Fitness powers right now, so I'm planning to taking 4 new ones - not sure which ones, though - I'd like Superjump, but I'm not sold on the animation

Quote:Well, a lot of it is stuff that was intended for GR, but was removed to get a little more work done on it, so a lot of I19 was actaully ready when GR was.Originally Posted by Street_Wolf
I'm kinda surprised that I19 is gonna be out so soon.

Maybe something to do with Tip missions and the general idea of side switching?

You should contact them and ask them to fix the errors in their article

Quote:It's also the reason why the final missions are kinda muddled and weird - "you're a jackbooted enforcer of a nightmare dictatorship, so you might like to go to Primal Earth to show them that we're good people"/"You're an evil anarchist who blows up random civilians and feeds defenseless prisoners to the Ghouls, so you might like to go to Primal Earth to show them that we're good people".Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Hmn, fact f'today. Maybe that will get smoothed out in a coming issue or later patches?
I still think they did a good job on making Praetoria pretty grey myself. And heck, it's still really well designed -
Quote:What she actually said was that the original design was loyalists = Villains, Resistance = Heroes, but later on they decided to try and add some gray by dividing both sides into two sub-factions.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
I also can't believe that. Hello, Crusader arcs? Seriously...
Although that didn't really work very well, as they didn't dial back the evil of the dictatorship enough to make the idea of fighting it a morally gray idea.
I'm not sure how late in the design process they decided to try and add the gray either, as during the early part of the closed beta, loyalists were getting the red side mission completed music, and only had access to red side titles, while the Resistance were getting the blue side mission completed music and access to the blue side titles, so the alpha build seems to have been designed around the original idea.
The late attempt to add gray to the setting is also the reason why the moral choices in Praetoria don't actually have any consequences - originally, they were set up to act just like the Tip missions, with the loyalist choice taking you to the evil side, and the Resisatnce choice taking you to the good side, with a final moral choice mission at 20 to deicde if you'd go blue side or red side - it was sort of like a gigantic Tip mission chain 1-20, which would then blend in with the normal Tip mission chains 20-50. -
A couple of major mistakes there - Praetoria is not used for the side switching system, and the factions within factions thing was done to try and add some gray to the original good vs evil set up in Praetoria

Yes - some people seem to get confused by the term "underwater"

Quote:You did read the background info and various dev interviews and Q&A panels since GR was first announced, didn't you?Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I honestly don't know what I was expecting from Praetoria, but I kind of hoped that this would be the land where we would finally be bale to make OUR decisions. You know, not be pawns of the establishment in the way City of Villains portrays us, but what I got was even MORE servitude and faction politics than when I swooned after Arachnos. At least in the Isles, I can work for the mob, work for the Circle, work for the Freakshow and, yes, even work for myself via Dean McArthur and Leonard. It was all railroading, but at least I felt I had a choice, because ultimately, it didn't matter who I worked for.

Optimally yes. But you have to wake them from their stupor first.

Quote:I think "task" is a nice neutral word - "quest" is fantasy, and "mission" is modern/sci-fi.Originally Posted by Siolfir
And all quests are missions - or did you not even read what you linked? Specifically, this part here:
And the fact that you managed to find a more than four-year-old GDC article where the term "quest" is used doesn't change that it's primarily relegated to the fantasy genre, despite the terms being fairly interchangeable as far as meaning. -

Well, before it was removed from the GR closed beta, the alpha slot was tied to the Menders lore - the contact at Ouroboros who told you about the slot was claled Mender Ramiel, and part of his text hinted at the Coming Storm.
I hope Ramiel shows up again in I19 - he had some rather cool sci-fi shades

My characters are not a hive mind, they don't know what other characters have seen or heard. Just because one contact says one thing, if my character doesn't talk to them, they don't know it.

But it's not their fault they're brainwashed zombies - they're innocent, so they shouldn't be targeted in the fight to destroy the dictatorship - they're victims, not enemies.
