Golden Girl

That's based on what I've seen in game right now - it may change with GR

I wonder why it's going to take them another 6 months just to polish up that stuff then?

In game terms, I think they'd rank:

1 - Reichsman
2 - Statesman
3 - Tyrant
4 - Imperious

But in a comic, the winner would be whoever the writer chose to win

I do it as I type

Uh, you can do Hero contacts and content, use WW and so on once you're a fully switched Hero - but when you're in the gray area, you can't.
So your brute will be able to do anything a normal Hero can do, but first you're going to have to pass through the stage of being a Rogue, which is one step above a Villain, but one step below a Hero - and while that's your status, a lot of Hero stuff will be blocked off to you.


Let me tell you a story, with colors...


BRUTEY <--- This is Brutey, the brutal brute - he is EVIL, and lives in the Rogue Isles, which are also evil. He does evil things, and his friends are evil too - but his enemies are GOOD. Note the red color - this helps to see he is evil.
But one day, Brutey decides to rethink his poor life choices, and wonders what it'd be like to be less brutal, and more hugglesome - so he goes to another dimention, called Praetoria.

PRAETORIA <--- This is Praetoria. The color of Praetoria is purple - purple is a mix of red and blue. This is important.

In Praetoria, Brutey starts to do things that aren't evil. He starts to lose his color, and becomes rather GRAY. His friends still think he is evil, even if he seems more hugglesome than before, so they continue to socialize with him, because that's what friends do.

BRUTEY <--- This is Brutey in Praetoria. He is somewhat gray now, owing to a clash between hugglesomeness and evil.

But now, his enemies also notice the rise in the hugglesome factor, and they begin to tolerate his presence. They allow him to travel around their zones, and not just his old evil zones.
But they don't totally trust him - there is still some evil amongst his hugglesomeness, so they don't make friends with him, and he can't socialize in the nice blue palces.

But Brutey continues to do good deeds, and stops being naughty completely. Suddenly, one day, he stops being gray, and finds he is BLUE!

BRUTEY <--- This is Brutey. He is now blue. Note the color - this is a good color.

All Brutey's old friends, who are still red, get mad at him, and tell him he's not allowed back, and they won't hang out with him anymore.
But Brutey is not sad - he's found that the blue people are nicer than the red people anyway - and because he's found hugglesomness is nicer than naughtiness, he doesn't miss his old friends anyway - and there are lots and lots of new blue friends to make. They're all very happy he's now fully hugglesome, and no longer naughty, so they all become his friends, and he can hang out and socialize with them in the nice blue places.

Brutey is now very happy in his nice new good blue home, and he has fun all the time - except when he goes to a PvP zone and his old friends drone him because they're still mad at him.

So if they merged the markets, combining the two halves, would that mean it was fullyassed?

I think he looks better with dark hair - it's more brooding

There isn't - and there isn't one about the Praetorian Nemesis either.

I17 might actually be GR - although there's a possibility they could release one more Issue before GR goes live, but it's not certain yet.

They said that a while back

Well, it'll mean the team makeup in RV will be quite different for a start

Yes - in the video, you can clearly see the only enemy is the big Clockwork who summons smaller robots - your only option is to defeat them to get the xp you need for the first 20 levels - this is all the new 1-20 content is - the video proves it.

And by "visiting" you mean buying cheap at WW and then going and selling for a profit to deperate Villains?

You won't be able to make a Brute a Hero from level 1 in Paragon City - but you can make "neutral" Brutes by starting in the new tutorial and low level content areas in Praetoria - which will eventually give you the option of becoming a Hero or a Villain when you get to leave Praetoria and either go to Paragon City or the Rogue Isles.
So you won't see low level Brutes running around in Atlas Park doing the missions from City Hall, but you will see higher level brutes who have switched sides hanging out there with all the other high level Heroes.

Mother Mayhem finds your thoughts to be incompatible with the goals of a harmonious existence in Praetoria - please report to Chimera for retraining.

Well, that's current proof - we don't know what retcons GR might bring

The sound quality isn't too good - reading a transcript gives just as good an idea of him building his Fury bar

Christian Bale is the link

A picture wa sposted of him from the movie to show how he looks like the concept art for Tyrant, so I just thought of Tyrant having a similar workplace attitude

The Praetorian Blue Steel might have gone after the CK with the intention to kill him - our one didn't

They may not be able to get the newspaper themselves - if it's true that all Villain contacts would be unavailable to Vigilantes, and all Hero contacts would be unavailable to Rogues - but they could still join teams doing those missions.

I don't think so - from the sound of it, a Praetorian is the name for someone who starts off as a neutral in Praetoria - and by level 20, you have chosen a path to either become a Hero or a Villain - so even if you start of neutral in Praetoria, by 20, you'll either be a Vigilante or a Rogue.
