    They said at Hero Con that they'd change bits of the current Praetorian arc storylines to fit in with GR.

    Fixed, for Praetorian family values
  4. Maybe Tyrant feeds him the superpowered people that "disappear"?

    It'd fit in with the Roman theme too - with "criminals" being fed to wild animals.

    You really think they will only include two powersets in a retail expansion (and make them available early if you pre-purchase, even) when they've offered more in a regular non-retail update?

    Man, expectations have certainly been lowered. I guess that works to their advatnage if they deliver 'more' than what most are expecting.
    Don't forget that CoV was a stand-alone game, so it really needed the same number of ATs and power sets as CoH.
    GR isn't a stand-alone game, so it doesn't need the same variety of ATs and power sets as CoV did.
  6. An interesting quote from War Witch, about how Tyrant keeps the peace in Praetoria:

    Quote:
    Praetoria is Emperor Cole’s (aka “Tyrant”) world. Now, you’d think that because he’s, well, a tyrant, that it would be this horrid place where evil crawls the streets and everything is doom and gloom. Surprisingly, however, it’s not. Cole’s made a few deals in his time and with that comes an uneasy peace, sort of. So Praetoria is not what you’d expect. It’s clean and beautiful, very pleasing to Cole from his tower
    I wonder if any of those "deals" are related to the Hamidon in any way?
  7. I wonder if this quote...

    "With Issue 17 and Going Rogue, we’ve upgraded our look and the way we build zones (most evident in Praetoria)."

    ...implies that there's a new zone in I17?

  10. Perhaps Uuralur the Mirror might have something to do with I17?

    Its more likley that than over any gender inherent of niceness.
    They have - in the past, women were the main ones who prepared food - and that's the ideal place for poisoning someone
    You could wipe out a whole castle that way - much faster and safer than a siege

    I don't think he wants me to get the pre purchase, I think he wants me to just get to boxed sets in July. From what I can tell, he doesn't even plan on playing til July. So that is 4 months *I wish you would have told me that before I resubbed us for a year* down the drain.

    I want to support this game financially as much as possible. It is to me the best MMO out there, Hows about some new info on what is coming in Issue 17?
    Ultra mode is in I17, and will be useable at once

  14. You could perhaps edit out a few without spoiling the general impression

    Still incest, but not parent/child.
    Actually, wouldn't Adam and Eve count as that? If she's made from him, then isn't that like her being some sort of offspring?

    (Obviously Old Tyrant -> New Tyrant etc.)
    That's not a general texture overhaul of the textures and NPCs in the game though - just a couple of PI story arcs

    The answer is "no" - to switch sides, you must own a copy of GR.

    I think SOE will be a bigger boost for CoH than GR

    As far as we know, there aren't any texture or model updates.

    Mako is the personification of murder, the only thing he cares about is who, not what WHO, his next meal is going to be. Phipps is the personification of torment. His entire life is centered around tormenting the helpless and destitute. These two people are Evil.

    Meanwhile Recluse is a pathetic, petulant, petty child throwing a temper tantrum that in all aspects of life, even Villainy, he is always second runner to Marcus Cole. (seriously, the only person to actually defeat and subdue Cole is Cole) Bad? Certainly. Evil? Not even close. Calling him that is akin to diluting the term, much the same way the 90's diluted "awe some" to "mildly impressive".
    I think Recluse giving work to Mako and Phipps makes him evil by default
