I don't always see it

Well, that's the core of banking

It's also a very good in-game advert for GR - there'll be hundreds of players running around with 2 awesome-looking new power sets, and that's going to get a lot of other players asking where they got them - which will then lead to quite a few more GR pre-orders

Anyone who pre-orders any version of GR will get live server access to Dual Pistols, starting in March, followed by live server access to Demon Summoning, starting in April.

Yes - with Demon Summoning in April.

The first one

Well, somone's not been reading some posts

I think it'll probably set to only affect the leader, otherwise it might make teaming tricky

Probably something to do with shooting apples off heads

But don't tell the Tyrant apologists that - their "I'm-sure-that-Palpatine-guy-wasn't-so bad" hopes for GR have already been badly damaged

But not in the case of CO.

Logic and feminine intuition - an unbeatable combination for finding out the truth




And actually reading up on what the devs have said also helps a heck of a lot too

GR will give them a few

All my mirrors are normal and clean

They'll need to - that faceplate restricts the moustache too much - that white "Emperor" suit give total twirling freedom.

Just trying to give encouragment to the weeping Tyrant apologists, and show them that they can still be a "hero" who supports a dictator

And it will - there's no reason why you can't go to Praetoria as a Hero, and find Tyrant's form of law enforcement more to your liking than what you've been used to on Primal Earth.

There are plenty of jokes about the Zig having a revolving door instead of a gate, so in Praetoria, you can pursue a more aggressive type of crimefighting, without being held back by annoying things like legality, the courts, defendants' rights and so on.

It'll be the purest form of justice - a criminal target will be identified, and you'll be sent to take it out - permanently.
And the almost crime-free paradise of Praetoria is vindication of everything you've always thought crimefighting should really be about.

In Praetoria, you'll be able to be the be the force of justice you've always wanted to be - you'll be a true hero, and do things your way - the right way.

It was never there in the first place

Too many Tyrant apologists have been building their own version of GR in their heads, and not actually been following what the devs have been saying

Steam is too dirty

Although, as the current missions are very "private" - like you don't really see many normal Praetorian citizens in the arcs, it'd be possible to keep them quite similar to the way they are now, as when they're out of the public eye, the Tyrant and his thugs don't have to put on a show of being nice.

For example, Mother Mayhem's assylum would be a high security facility in GR - normal citizens would just know it was the place where "mentally ill" people were sent to have their behaviour "corrected", before being sent out back into society - so having Mother Mayhem being openly sadistic like she is in the current version of the mission wouldn't really need to be changed, as she's "in private".
And the same would apply to the final mission where you rescue Statesman - again, it's a "private" place - Tyrant's lair - which very few normal Praetorian citizens would even be aware that it existed, and like the assylum, it'd be staffed with fanatical loyalists.
So while the new version of Tyrant mightn't twirl his moustache in a lava cave, he can still do his twirling in a hidden chamber deep under or high up in his tower.
And the same "non-public" thing applies to the other Praetorian Guard misisons, like Neuron's lab, Anti-matter's space station, Shadowhunter's wilderness - they're all places where they can act as evil as they like, as there's no one else around who they need to fool.

Mostly, the current Praetorian missions will just need updated models and maps, and a few tweaks to the text to make it fit in with the newer lore.

Reading between the lines, I'd say that it was the endgame system that was proving challenging - which is why Positron is overseeing it personally.
The actual Praetorian content could be pretty close to being finished by now - once they've built the zones, filling them with missions will be faster now that they're using a version of the MA for it.

Tyrant and the other Praetorians' role as the "mine is an evil laugh" twisted-superheroes-ruling-the-world faction was taken over by Recluse and Arachnos, so the new versions of the Praetorians will be less obviously evil at first, to make them different from the whole Rogue Isles set-up - so instead of the openly evil dictator ruling a dirty, rundown land that was the original concept of the Praetorians, and which was transfered to Recluse and his country, we're getting a hidden dictatorship set in a gleaming, spotless world.

In that case, I'd very strongly advise you not to get your hopes up
