  1. Welcome back

    PvP seems to be pretty quiet on all the servers right now - although I think that GR will see an increase with all 10 normal ATs being available to both sides.

    Defiant has some PvP, but I'm not sure if that's enough for you or not

    It'd certainly take it to the next level.

    And we never actually saw Anakin's body being burnt on the pyre - just the armor - and when we saw him "die" on the Death Star, he might just have been taking a nap - there's no proof that he died.
  5. I was out and about in the sunshine with friends, and wasn't even aware the forums weren't working - by the time I got home in the evening, the crisis was already over

    Actually, that's a game mechanic - similar to the revolving door at Arkham Asylum
  7. I want to see a video that consists of nothing but each dev saying "a vigilante using melee in Praetoria" - then we can compare and contast

    Yeah, bringing Palpatine back was great, because it undermined the entire climax of the real story.

    Praetoria is named after the Praetorian Guard, the elite bodyguards of the Roman Emperors - and Tyrant certainly acts like a Roman Emperor
  11. That's where the whole awful mess of the "official fan fiction" began...

    It could be - but it'd be weird to have the mission objective hit you as soon as you enter the map
  13. By the way, does anyone else thing that Dual Pistols Guy should be made into an NPC of some sort? We've been following his gun-fu antics since the Hero Con preview video last year - I'd like to get the chance to actually meet him in-game

    More realtime decision making rather than pre-planned and formulated. As of now I decide my actions well in advance of me making my actions. So if I decide to take out Bella, but then when I encounter her I'm overwhelmed by her allure and decide to join her. IMO a big part of being a super powered being is the ability to drastically alter lives with a split second decision.
    Where does it say you decide before the mission starts? That screenshot doesn't really show where that choice happens.
  15. Happy Birthday, wherever you are!

    Does anyone know if she still plays CoH? Or what job she moved to?
  16. Actually, it's pronounced "fascist dictatorship"

  18. I'm surprised they didn't mention her calling herself Mother Monster

    I was surprised he wasn't in hotpants and a bustier so he'd get a feel for how the movement would be if you were dressed like that while using a whip.

    When players leave Praetoria at level 20, how would you describe level 21?

    The servers need weeks of preparation to adjust to the awesomeness of GR.
