  1. You know, standing there in your glowing armor, with dual pistols visible in holsters at your hips, and then turning on Walk and hearing the sound effects of your footsteps on the hard concrete as the only noise in the silent shadows of the under city could quite possibly overload your computer with badassery, causing it to shut down until the badassery has been brought back down to a more managble level.

    Hint: it's not the ones lead by a guy called "Tyrant"

    Tyrant's bio there hasn't been updated yet
  4. The lighting in the screenshot just looks so much more realistic than the current lighting we have - the way it's able to be darker, with more pools of shadows and patches of light is so awesome.
  5. I like the name "Hamidon Wars" sounds like an epic conflict
  6. This isn't a criticism or anything, but I think that things like this:






    Kinda makes it really, really important to revamp things like this:









    I think that with GR, some of the oldest models in the game have become way too obviously older models.

    They were shown up a lot by things like this:







    But the step up the game's taking in GR really does make the older models seem like they're not even from the same game now.

    I'm hoping that the pormise of more content post GR will include updates of some of the oldest faction models - like the way the Rikti were given awesome new models for the RWZ revamp.

    No more hunting VG merits for making a Vanguard character, thanks. That sort of thing is a killer of Fun
    I don't think they'll be available right away - they've said that during the tutorial you get the chance to join the Resistance or Tyrant's thugs, so it wouldn't make much sense if you could dress like them before you actually joined them

    Will it be the Tyrant bio, or will they add a new one, like Belladonna's?

    Well, there's no reason why they couldn't make a tunnel network under a zone - like Faultline, but expanded a lot.

    However it's received by the players, with War Witch as lead designer, you'll be safe now - you can fall back on the oldest excuse in the book - "the woman made me do it"

    Well, that might not be for everyone - not all players enjoy or want the same things

    Second, I'm getting a "subway" vibe from the picture. Would sort of make sense for the PTA system to work differently in Praetoria and thus specific blind spots in it could be used by the Resistance as a "Not Quite So Abandonded Sewer Network". Access points throughout the city and it would be made of lead/adamantium/kryptonite/whatever with a side effect of blocking most telepathy.

    Note: There's a solid chance I'm dead wrong.
    I think there's ambient occlusion being used in the picture - and as Positron said that wasn't going to be used on mission maps, then unless that's changed, it must be an area of one of th new zones.

    I think the last time it was used a lot was for I13, but any meaning it had diminished over time.

    What they actually said was that there are no plans for an Issue before GR goes live - but that if the graphics update was ready before the rest of GR , it might be possible that they'd release it on its own first.

    I hear the next vet badge will be called "Bitchslapped", and its art will be a picture of BAB doing the /e smackyou emote.

    Apparently 17 is supposed to be light too and should be out 'soon' or before GR so who really knows.
    None of that is true at all
