Quote:It's about 2 weeks actually, according to PositronOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
People keep saying this, constantly neglecting to mention what this involved - getting your villain over to hero-side, taking an Epic, waiting a week, taking that villain back to villain-side and NEVER DOING A RESPEC.
Sorry, in my book that's still a "can't."
Going fully from one side to the other takes about 2 weeks, so to go back and forth once would take about a month - he said that was the speed for a "casual" player, but there are also cool down periods built into the side switching system to make sure it can't be done too fast. -
Well, you might get new CoV misisons that let you do stuff like that, but I really don't think you should be holding out for a rewrite of the current stuff - if the devs are reluctant to even drop a few missions or arcs into somewhere like Dark Astroia to freshen it up a bit, then the chances of them rewriting the entire red side content so the contacts all call you "sir" are non-existant.
I think that the best that can happen is that they give you more arcs across the 1-50 level range where the contacts are scared of you, so you can then choose to avoid the ones who are mean to you, rather than be forced to play through them because there's no alternative. -

As it's quite likely that CoH2 would overlap CoH for a time, I think they wouldn't do anything special - although they might have some huge world changing event to set up the lore in CoH2, but it wouldn't be anything that actually destroyed the world, otherwise, there'd be a break in the continuity.

Quote:And from July, you canOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
The whole business with lacking actual, real Epics and having to make do with power from Arachnos is just the cherry on top. As far as I'm concerned, Arachnos can GO TO HELL! I don't want their powers. I want a real Epic like heroes get.

Hmm, who in CoX lore is short, somewhat homely looking and in need of 24/7 attention.. damnit I should know this one.

I believe the article states what they think it means, but I also believe their logic is very far in error.

Quote:The quote wasn't "never" - it was "over my dead body"Originally Posted by NarfMann
I think the only thing I've ever heard the devs actually say "never" about was Clown Summoning for Masterminds.

Quote:That's what I was getting at in another thread - the Well of the Furies has a Greek name because it was the anceint Greeks who discovered it - but in reality, it could just be a source of divine power that's not tied to any belief system.Originally Posted by Chase_Arcanum
Agreed... or possibly "fire incarnate" "earth incarnate" "magic incarnate"
I always took it that the "Gods" part of incarnates stemming from a misunderstanding. It isn't exactly that Statesman is an Incarnate of Zeus, as was once stated, it's that Statesman is the incarnation of a particular platonic ideal for our era and Zeus was an incarnation of that same ideal in the greek age of heroes.
... and there may very well have been OTHER ages of heroes farther back in time... each with their own incarnates of those ideals. -
Play nice now, people - if you need to mock, do it gently - and still be helpful

Unless you were both very short, it's have to be a low five if you did it under a table.

No. Spiders are awesome.

Oh, snaps! GG got references! ^_^
And reading that text, I find the transition odd from "Even I fear you" to "Do this and I'll promise to give you a shout out in my victory speech". Like, I don't even get that.

Ok, I just checked paragonwiki for the LRSF opening text:
Quote:I'm not really seeing any "treating you like" dirt there - plenty of insanity and evil - but nothing that shows he thinks you're the lowest of the low - he even goes out of his way to mention your past victory over him. He wants to rule the world, thinks you're evil enough and strong enough to help him, and promises you a huge reward if you help him succeed."I have witnessed your journey through the Rogue isles.You have clawed your way to the top, performing all manner of vile act to prove yourself stronger and more capable than the rest of my Destined Ones. You have even bested one of my trusted lieutenants, a feat few have done before. In the end I thought you a liability, having used Project DESTINY to see into the future and witness a possible death of the world - my rightful domain! - at your hands. But you have a depth of villainy and strength more powerful than even I had imagined. You discovered my contingency plans and sent me a very clear warning as to what would happen if I enacted my plans, and it is something I will not forget!
You know of my plans for Project DESTINY, to engineer my eventual victory by manipulating the timestreams of the future, eliminating unfavorable results until only my ultimate triumph remains! And you know the greatest threat to my goals is that epitome of foolish heroic virtue, Statesman! Statesman. Long has he been a thorn in my side, him and his legion of heroes who constantly attempt to thwart my operations at every turn. If you help me deal with the troublesome Statesman, I will asure you a place of honor in my future triumph!" -
I'm pretty sure they don't spawn in AE missions, because they might mess up the story - it's fine to have them in canon content because that fits, but when AE stories can be so varied and totally non-canon, then having them show up could be a problem.

Quote:Interestingly, at Pax East, we learnt that the Praetorian zones are islands, and as both Tyrant and Recluse seem to govern using "survival of the fittest" as the base of their system, it might be possible that Tyrant rules his world from the Praetorian Rogue Isles.Originally Posted by SpittingTrashcan
This is actually an interesting point. Many systems of privilege are built around the idea that some people are simply superior to others: men and supermen. These systems are fundamentally wrong and inefficient because humans are more similar than they are different and the variation between the groups tends to be dwarfed by the variation within the groups.
However, our characters live in a fictional universe where some people are literally, factually, demonstrably and incontrovertibly superior. There are people in this universe who have dozens or hundreds of times the strength and durability of an ordinary human, and those are the easiest to deal with. It is conceivable that if the world is divided into humans and superhumans, the balance of power will lie with the superhumans.
Under this interpretation, some variation of Lord Recluse's social darwinism actually makes sense. Note that his entire organization, from government and social problems to research and training, is designed to create an environment that an ordinary human being cannot survive. While the heroic metahumans are spending time, effort, and resources on protecting and preserving non-metas, Recluse is filtering the ones with potential to play on the grand stage and simply discarding the rest.
Consider also that his policies are informed by people who can actually see the future. What do they see that could make this kind of brutal culling of unhelpful baggage seem necessary?
(Note: Recluse as written is a mere dictator. It's not my intention to refute this, but to demonstrate that it wouldn't be hard to write him as an uncompromising visionary.)
I posted this in another thread:
Quote:I was thinking about this dev quote from PAX about the how you can see the changing look of the new zones:
"...as you're flying over one Praetroian island to the next..."
And it made me think that maybe the GR storyline might take place on the Praetorian Rogue Isles - like the Praetorian Marcus Cole rules the world from his tower on the very same island that the Primal Earth Stefan Richter plots to take over the world in his tower.
And things like the Seers also makes me think that with the death of the Praetorian Richter, Arachnos might have developed in a different way, and maybe been absorbed into Tyrant's plans and his government - so that Praetorian Earth would in fact be, technically, a world run by Arahcnos, because they had Marcus Cole as their leader and not Stefan Richter - which I think would be a very cool and ironic touch.
Like the only place Recluse's organization succeeded was in a universe where they were led by his arch-enemy. -
I love these kinds of community extras
