Welcome to the forums

For the very first 2XP weekend, we did 3 of the SS TFs in 19 hours - but the 4th broke the will of most of the team to go on

Take a break, and then check out Praetoria on August 17th

I think Statesman vs Tyrant would be closer after the Praetorian retcon - Tyrant's now someone who can take on and defeat the Hamidon on his own.
Even Counting Reichsman, I think Tyrant 2.0 is the strongest Marcus Cole in the mutiverse - and my little theory for that is that when he murdered Stefan Richter, he either drank more from the Well of the Furies, or drank there a second time, or somehow absorbed the power Stefan Richter had if he'd drunk from the Well before being killed, and became some kind of dual incarnate, combining Zeus and Tartarus - it'd make him morally gray then

Ok, so here I am at home since my 4th is getting rained out, and CoH is not having a double exp weekend to celebrate the 4th?

So, what was up with the Arachnos City Hall building?

I think this is something they're going to take a look at.

Hey, as long as I'm the one making the rules, I have no problem with a fascist dictatorship.

I remember a while back, someone on the screenshots and art forum was making a model of Grandville in some FPS game with lots of mods available. Not exactly on topic, but it reminded me of it. Not sure if they ever finished it though.

Quote:That does depend a lot on the realness of the threat to Praetoria, I think.Originally Posted by Venture
The Massively article and this thread are making mountains out of molehills. Praetoria as described on the official site isn't some complex ethical question; it's just another dictatorship using the same facile justifications they always do.
If Tyrant is facing a genuine threat, then that makes his evil actions more complex than if he's just using a fake threat to help keep himself in power. -
Citizen, much of your post contains information still classified as sensitive by the authorities.

But a "model of the city?" Utterly worthless to me.

So, Martial Arts/Regeneration is the only powerset combo you've EVER played the entire time you've played the game? I have difficulty comprehending that. You've never been curious about how anything else played? Not even a little? You've never tried a blaster, or a tank, or a defender, or a controller, or a kheldian? You've never even tried a different scrapper?

Killed not without a reason, I presume.

Intent. Killing for fun = evil. Killing to save hundreds or thousands from those that do kill for fun = good.

Quote:Well, one thing to think about is the Freakshow - on Primal Earth, they're the standard mindless anarchists who are violent and aggressive to any authority and see themselve as fighting "the man" - now just imagine how people with that mentality in Praetoira would react to the genuine oppression there? I think the Resistance would be a very attractive option for them - because the Resistance sems to be defined just as much by what it's against as what it's for.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
Reading the description of the Praetorian leadership made me think of fascism straight away. I don't find the Loyalist faction, as described, to be altogether palatable with heroism in its most celebrated form. It may be that the Resistance is equally repugnant.
Like you have people like Calvin Scott who's on a personal crusade to get his wife back, or people who have had friends and family killed by Tyrant and are out for revenge, or anarchists who just want to oppose authroity, or ciminals who'd find a less oppressive society easier to operate in, or genuine freedom fighters who oppose the dictatorship on moral grounds - the one thing they're all against is Tyrant - but all for different reasons. -

It's a, "What If?" question. Something that almost can't actually happen. Therefore, none of your evasion garbage matters.

Quote:It's an invalid question, because it assumes that your path in life is fixed and would always play out the same way over and over again - it dosen't allow for Corporal Hitler being 3 minutes late one day and missing a bus he actually caught, taking the next one instead, and ending up sitting opposite a gorgeous Jewish girl that he falls totally in love with.Originally Posted by Kheldarn
Didja like how GG refused the answer the question?
Yeah, she'll never answer a question like that, because she knows that it'll make her look like the hypocryte she is.
It assumes that every second of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year of someone's life would always play out exactly the same way every time - that everyone's just a robot going through the motions, with no free will at all, and no element of chance or randomness in their life at all. -

@GG
Going to make an absurd example. Its a for the greater good question and as i'm writing i'm not quite sure if I would. But here is the question.
Think of a world without Hitler. Suppose you or your character GG (I do remember that you have stated that your avatar GG is pretty much yourself, but i'll give the possibility of separate)...
Suppose you or your character was able to go back in time, maybe even to the first world war when Hitler was just a corporal, you had a chance to take down Hitler... would you have done so. Even if you took the guise of a soldier for the other side, would you have taken a rifle or anything.. aimed it at Hitler for a killing shot and pulled the trigger?
In the hope that the Nazi movement would be halted and maybe the second world war and Holocaust might never have happened.
Would you have pulled the trigger for this greater good to save 6 million from the death-camps and countless more who died on the battlefield?
(Ok, it may not have worked out, due to another major player... Stalin, but lets just think of Hitler? And Europe as we know it today would most likely have been different.)
It is a What If scenario, but thought I'd ask. -
Quote:I think me might see one or two tweaks to some of the standard mission types.Originally Posted by TheJazMan
I wonder if they have touched on all the areas that will be in GR. I didn't really see any new mission styles/innovations (although there were some comments about tip missions etc). Are these morality missions just going to be like the current arcs we have now? The Midnighter's Club arc has become a nuisance and a hassle. I hope the alignment changes don't get to that state.
All in all there seems to be a lot of cool little stuff to do but if the play style is just like what we have now and it all has a familiar feel...I think the long time players will tire of this very quickly.
