    My guess is that a Vigilante would still be flagged as a Hero, and a Rogue would still be flagged as a Villain.

    Or the Praetorian Blue Steel just went a little further than the Primal Earth one, and simply killed him.

  4. All the Sprint powers should be zero endurance, like Brawl
  5. In the current background info, the Praetorian Clockwork have no connection to the Clockwork King - but that could be retconned in GR.

    Tha basic idea if the same - AR could very easily use the DP ammo

    Well, AR is an obvious one for it - like a bullet is still a bullet, regardles of the gun size

    And I'd also like to see them give some DB style combos to MA

    Sad news about the HEATs and VEATS (well, I wasn't bothered about Khelds, but Rogue Arachnos would be BA) but it was expected.
    You. Can. Still. Have. A. Rogue. A. Rach. Nos

    You can't start EATs in Praetoria, but an EAT can still switch sides.

    (I think I might add something like this as a sig for the next 6 months )

    I wonder if that will be possible, or if there'll be something to "force" you to choose a side eventually?

    Apologies if this has been explained somewhere else.
    That sounds fine - like Manticore might not trust a Rogue enough to lead his TF, but he'd be ok to allow a Rogue to join the team.

    Also, about the graphics, they've actually said that if it's possible, they might be able to add them before GR comes out - so they're not totally locked in as a GR feature.

    The graphics are a small-ish part of GR - the rest is like 4 or 5 Issues all rolled together

    Oh wait, a Dual Pistols powerset, a utopian city with underlying issues and a regime that polices the thoughts of its populace? I think it's clear which movie the Devs were inspired by when they came up with Going Rogue...

    No complaints here!
    In that case...

    Tyrant holds a meeting in his palace, bue Neuron interrupts him...



    TYRANT: Am I going to walk around and rip your ******* Clockwork down, in the middle of a meeting? Then why the **** are you walking right through? Ah-da-da-dah, like this in the background. What the **** is it with you? What don't you ******* understand? You got any ******* idea about, hey, it's ******* distracting having somebody walking up behind Mother Mayhem in the middle of the ******* meeting? Give me a ******* answer! What don't you get about it?

    NEURON: I was looking at that Clockwork.

    TYRANT: Ohhhhh, goooood for you. And how was it? I hope it was ******* good, because it's useless now, isn't it?

    NEURON: Ok.

    TYRANT: **** sake man, you're amateur. Marauder, you got ******* something to say to this ****?

    MARAUDER: I didn't see it happen.

    TYRANT: Well, somebody should be ******* watching and keeping an eye on him.

    MARAUDER: Fair enough.

    TYRANT: It's the second time that he doesn't give a **** about what is going on in the meeting, all right? I'm trying to ******* hold a meeting here, and I am going "Why the **** is Neuron walking in there? What is he doing there?" Do you understand my mind is not in the meeting if you're doing that?

    NEURON: I absolutely apologise. I'm sorry, I did not mean anything by it.

    TYRANT: Stay out of the ******* palace, man. For ***** sake. Alright, let's start again.

    MARAUDER: Let's just take a minute.

    TYRANT: Let's not take a ******* minute, let's start again.

    TYRANT: I'm going to ******* kick your ******* *** if you don't shut up for a second! All right?

    SEERS: Marcus, Marcus. It's cool.

    TYRANT: I'm going to go... Do you want me to ******* go trash your Clockwork?
    Do you want me to ******* trash 'em? Then why are you trashing my meeting?

    NEURON: I'm not trying to trash your meeting.

    TYRANT: You are trashing my meeting!

    NEURON: Marcus, I was only...

    TYRANT: You do it one more ******* time and I ain't staying in this palace if you're still here. I'm ******* serious. You're a nice guy. You're a nice guy, but that don't ******* cut it when you're ******* around like this at a meeting.

However, I'm willing to bet the three whip powers in the Demon Summoning set will basically be bullwhip strikes like the Hordelings' tongue.
    They might be able to "cheat" with it, a bit like the shield charge animation - there could be a whip attack that pulls a target to you, like TP Foe, so you'd see the whip lash out at them, then maybe some sort of effect to disguise the contact, and then the target would zip over to you in the same way as the avatar moves from A to B in the shield charge attack.

    Well, for someone sitting in the audience of a presentation at Hero Con, it was maybe a little easier to send instant tweets via a cellphone, rather than make dozens of posts via a laptop - and from Twitter, people relayed it here - so we were still getting quotes and info here on forum before the devs had even finished speaking at Hero Con - and I think that's pretty fast

    Are the oceans still only 3 feet deep?
    They're deeper than that - like you do that standing-and-floating animation when you're in them - so that's gotta be at last 5 feet
