    Please do read on a bit further so I don't have to repeat myself; I acknowledged that I had forgotten about Willpower. Still, that's just three armors (Willpower, Electric, and Dark) for the four melee classes that give psi resistance. The rest are sitting ducks when they get hit by psi (sure, there are a couple armors whose schticks are NOT getting hit, but if the mob does get in a hit, you certainly do feel it).

    By making contact with the resistance first? Opening the portal to Praetorian earth? Sending in probes as they discovered things? Getting kidnapped by praetorians and needed to send heroes through to recover them?
    Discovering that there had been established various cells of Praetorians on Primal earth and sent them packing back to where they came from?
    I tried looking it up, but I could not find anything (so either my search fu is weak at this moment) or a "revised history" from Devs have not gotten out to the public.
    All available clues seem to indicate that it was Ultimatum, Maelstrom's former superiors before he went turncoat and joined the Praetorians.

    And there you've highlighted my point. Widows have so many tricks, it's a disservice to try to nail them into such a narrow hole.

    Wasn't aware of electric armor's resistance, forgot about willpower, and I don't really count Widows as "melee." I'm not sure what you mean by that last one either.
  6. I'm pretty sure the devs confirmed Primal Earth shot first.

    This. It's probably the only melee build that can withstand psi. Everything else seems to just.... crumple.

    Of course it is. It's ALWAYS a distraction from his true plans.

    From what I understand, they're merely "Disney Vaulting" the Celestial set.

    Um, you can already start and progress through the First Ward content as a Praetorian before ever going through the portal. When your Praetorian dings 20, Doorman sends you an invite.

    I've also heard that it was the name of Apocalypse's villainous understudy.

    So they all ran away to be eaten by Devouring Earth? Yeah, okay, so the Praetorian storyline reaches a semi-conclusion with the Magisterium trial, but does anyone recall that Hamidon is a bit P.O.ed now?
  14. Yeah, I knew about this. As others have said, she's been playing for years.
  15. My few characters on Virtue (yes, I have a couple) cruise through the new Atlas Park just fine. This really sounds like a problem with your system(s). Your SG clearly needs to upgrade their rigs.
  16. I'm here until the servers get the final shutdown.

    No idea why they styled a powerset after the Red Bee. What a maroon he was to begin with.
    Yeah, it really sucks when paired with Monsanto Control.
  19. I was promised ninja pirate robot Nazi zombies! Where are they? WHEEEERRE AAARRRE THEEEEEEYYYYY?

    ...Um... satirical comedy is not lying. Sure, it's not truthful, but lying is usually done with the intent to deceive, which this was not. This was done with the intent to make people laugh.

    It's called Ouroboros.
  23. Signing this again. Don't retcon badges, that's just petty.
