oh, and I have to support Television, if only because we have a special relationship.

Soooo.
One faction offers Ultra Mode before Going Rogue.
The other offers new content before Going Rogue.
Whoever wins.... we lose.
(by lose I mean 'win' of course.) -
So... who's War Witch's Praetorian counterpart, and is she dead too?

Quote:That makes a heck of a lot of sense. Claws, tentacles, lumbering... all there.Originally Posted by Anti_Proton
Someone mentioned that the Preatorian Hamidon is probably a giant Devoured.
Sooo, the Praetorian Hamidon is a giant Devoured who also has psychic powers. Is it me or does that sound like something we'll be facing in the game some time?

Quote:Wait, what?
the flailing tentacles and claws of the monster
Since when does the Hamidon have tentacles and claws? He's a great big cell! He has mitochondria and things! And he doesn't 'lumber', on account of not having any legs!
I think that either wasn't the real Hamidon, or Praetorian Hamidon looks very different from our own. Either explanation could open very interesting possibilities. Maybe an end-game 'Hamidon' raid with a lumbering, clawed, tentacled Hamidon?
Of course, Praetorian Hamidon could just be a great big cell with a black goatee. -

Grats War Witch and everyone!
I can't wait to hear more about the endgame plans.
... and 'The Television' may be the best choice of red name ever. -
We have Rikti Priests and Master of Arms turning up, not just the usual stuff

Lunar Hawk: [Little note: The Gms will appear way after the invasion, but these invasions work like the Mothership raid in beta, constant huge waves in large numbers

STUFF IS HAPPENING ON VIRTUE
Skies are freaky
Zombie Man: It's a freaking Mothership Raid everywhere, all the time

I'm starting to think this'll be just another run-of-the-mill invasion week. I've been wrong before though.
'Puny human beings' expectations: incorrect'
... which seems to say 'It's not what you've come to expect from a Rikti event.' -

Do puzzle games really work in this internet age? Especially online games, where you already have guaranteed access to the web and convenient access to wikis, FAQs, walkthroughs, etc.
You can find spoilers for all sorts of stories from all sorts of media on the Internet, but that doesn't mean people won't want to experience those stories unspoilered.
I don't think the mere logical possibility of knowing the 'answer' to something in advance should dissuade people from including riddles, enigmas, puzzles and so on in game content. -
I think we're going to see mod (and Dev) controlled Rikti attacking us, along with a proper mothership in the sky.
In other words, a return to the end of Beta event.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if a multitude of furries cried out in joy all at once, and then were silent

Second mission I was subject to a map full of custom lieutenants. Energy Blast/Shield Defence.

Quote:Creating Invention Enhancements (some of which heal, some of which increase damage)Originally Posted by InfamousBrad
I think Lady Sadako has all of the prophesies right except for #12, which is almost certainly a reference to the Statesman Task Force. I read "Create new thing which heals or harms, accelerate the race of arms,
Wentworth's!Quote:A million more to buy and trade, the inventors must all be paid,
Doctor Brainstorm ('a flood of brains rain')Quote:A flood of brains rain in the town,"
Yes, it could mean the draining web of pylons set up around the Weakened Hamidon in the Lady Grey TF. Which would make the Helmed One the Honoree.Quote:"but evil lurks to bring all down, The helmed one strikes with draining web, the war comes to a crucial head." Could the "draining web" mean anything other than the web weapon that's draped over Grandville, the one designed to funnel all of the world's super-powers into Lord Recluse? -
Quote:If that section does refer to Rularuu, then this is kind of promising. Will we finally get to confront him?
To face it our heroes prep, to win just watch that first step. -

Quote:Have we confirmed that there are presents in all zones, all the time? I thought the presents would maybe appear in one zone for a limited time, like the banners did at Halloween.Originally Posted by Photonstorm
I love the new event. More so than the Halloween one in the sense that we don't have to wait for the event. We form a team, open presents to spawn a Winter Lord and then enter the realm of Lord Winter.

More feedback:
Unlike the Halloween Event, there doesn't seem to be any sort of a story behind this event (at least, we've not seen one!) It doesn't make a lot of sense as it stands - defeat the Winter Lord and Lord Winter sends you a huge present which you can use as a portal so you can come and confront him?
I think it would make a little more sense if we forced the Winter Lord to drop the present, the idea being that the present is his portal to the Winter Realm and we're hijacking it.
