Sometimes I wish the original devs never bothered to explain why a character never dies in an MMO. The one they came up with is so immersion breaking, it's basically become a self-mocking joke of the game now 7 years later. Most other games never try to explain it. They just come up with a mechanism for it that's never really explained.
The fact that you will automatically be teleported to the hospital means that you can never create a narrative with a true level of threat in this game... unless you just ignore the mechanism and its underpinnings.

Midna did actually. Got tired of all the muttering of "At least she's better than Navi."

The 1-20 content is the Praetorian storyline - there's been nothing said yet about what sort of content is involved for Heroes and Villains who switch sides - all we know is that it isn't easy, and it's "not a lightswitch".

Quote:Only from starting as a Paretorian - EATs can still switch sides.Originally Posted by rmthornton
Has it been said that epic ATs are excluded? And if so, just from Praetoria, or side-switching in general?

Evil doesn't care anything about the 'greater good'. Evil is the Opposite of good. It's a Pure force of nature that is against everything IN nature.
And your Mother Mayhem example is actually arguing that there IS nothing good about these people, if you can still call them that, because if we're going with the established Praaetorians from the PI arc, her patients had nothing mentally wrong with the before they were 'admitted'. They simply broke because she find Torture an entertaining pastime.
So we have a mass-murdering power hungry pedophile, and a Someone who breaks peoples minds out of boredom. Exactly where's the ambiguity here? -
Quote:You can - when you make a Praetorian, you can use any of the non-Epic ATs, and then join either Tyrant (villain) or the Resistance (hero).Originally Posted by Anarchist_Kitten
I hope you aren't limited like that though, in that villains are loyalists and heroes are Resistance, cause I want to make a stalker in the resistance.

Quote:I think you're being a bit too black and white thereOriginally Posted by M_I_Abrahms
Again, good for the Praetorians. They're not Evil, just stupid and easily misled.
Golden Girl, the post I made here was actually intended mainly for you. I'd like to see your opinion of the ideas in there.
Evil doesn't have to be insanely evil to still be evil.
For example, the four Darths seen in the Star Wars saga were evil, but they weren't all on the same level of evilness.
So Tyrant can approve of the deaths of 90% of superpowered Praetorians, becasue it's for the greater good, in his eyes - while Mother Mayhem can be openly sadistic to her "pateints" in the asylum, for no other reason than she enjoys it - but they're both still evil. -

Well, I am here because I am a man of my word. With the posting of this http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...96#post2632296
confirming the release of Dual Pistols 5 months and Demon Summoning 4 months before GR goes live if you pre-order the $29.99 digital only expansion I now stand corrected, holding my sign stating loud and clear saying "I WAS WRONG, AND YOU WERE RIGHT!"

He still sucked though

Quote:Prepare to be not amazingly disappointedOriginally Posted by Perfect_Pain
I will be amazingly disappointed if there really is only 1 to 20 content in it.

Quote:Multiple new zones, lots of story arcs, and a new endgame system?Originally Posted by rmthornton
Precisely.
We've had new powersets in free issues before, and new zones with story arcs in free issues before, so what's in GR that makes it worth $30 as opposed to being just another free issue?
-
Quote:The "epic new storyline" covers 1-20 - and you get to pick loyalist (villain) or Resistance (hero) almost from the start, as Positron said you can start making choice in the new tutoial.Originally Posted by Anarchist_Kitten
Yeah, where did they say it was only 1-20 content? I thought it was at 20 you picked a side between Emperor Cole and The Resistance?
But that's just for the people who start off in Praetoria, for existing Heroes or Villains above 20, I'm totally sure there's going to be some 20+ content to allow them to switch sides, as the 1-20 seems to be designed around the idea that you're a Praetorian, rather than a visitor from another dimension. -
Quote:It's a single zone, with content covering levels 37-40.Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
Have they ever gotten around to telling us what is actually in Going Rogue?
I mean, they have already announced how much they want us to pay for it.
Some of us, are considering buying both because of one thing or another.
Why is it they are asking for money before actually informing us what is *in* GR? -
Quote:And "wizard", like "witch" has been, and still is, regarded as a gender specific termOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Nor is Wizard, but I was going for comedic value more so than for factological accuracy. I think it's a fair tradeoff.

Quote:Depends on what you mean by "doppelganger" - a doppelganger could be an alien or magical creature that can absorb and use the power of any opponent - it could be a creature with no look of its own - for example, a blank avatar with a reflective texture making use of the new ultra mode setting.Originally Posted by NightshadeLegree
I imagine a lot of players have already rolled an evil version of at least one of their heroes, or a good version of one of their villains, and when GR is released I expect Praetoria to be full of alternate versions of people's main characters*, so a doppleganger system would possibly be a bit redundant for those characters.
It could have no personality, and never speak a word - it could just copy the powers of its target, then use them to attack. -
Quote:But it has been, and still is, thought of as a female professionOriginally Posted by Scythus
Just to point out, the term "witch" is not limited to gender.

Following on from what I said before about loyalists still being able to go to Paragon City, even after chosing to serve Tyrant, here's an interesting quote from Positron:
Quote:So even if you've helped Tyrant, you can still chose to go to Paragon City - because as far as you're concerned, what you've done is right, so it's only natural that you'll want to go to a place where heroes are welcomed, because that's what you are in your own mind.When Praetorians leave Praetoria for Primal Earth, they choose if they want to be considered a Hero or a Villain, and are plopped into Paragon or the Rogue Isles.
But if you've beens erving Tyrant for your own ends, then chosing the Rogue Isles would be a better option, as Recluse's style of government matches what you're used to in Praetoria - the strong rise to the top. -
