  1. Shadow Wail

    Let's speculate!

    And there is an updating thread in the City Life Forum that details the three new powersets along with the proliferation.

    Beam Gun
    Street Justice (Fighting)
    Time Manipulation

    It seems that Doms are getting nothing for this round... not one thing. So my only speculation is that Dominators better get something super epic and sweet to make up for this "oversight"

    Since people are looking at Gravity Control, I wouldnt mind if their was a new bit of tech added to their controls that forced surrounding foes to stick to the target

    When you use Crush, Gravity Distortion, Crushing Field, Gravity Distortion Field; the target is held or immobilized but instead of staying put the powers pull eachother to one specific center of gravity--The target that initially received the effect

    I'll try to recreate this at home and post. I've never seen fire swords animate so far back.
  3. So we now get to summon signature heroes/villains to do our bidding because I paid an extra $105.00 USD to get to T9?

And after that, you go up the veteran rewards tree each month, not every 3 months. So you will get to the tier9 sooner than you think.

    I have the same thoughts, I think it might be automatic.
  6. The energy wings can wait, if the game is no longer around by the time I get to use them...C'est la Vie.
  7. I love the look of the energy wings... but there is no way in hell that I am going to pay for them.

    Love the game but I am not going down that route. Whatever my free points give me is the extent of my purchasing power.

    66 month vet... doesn't get me anything new just what I have? So lost, could have been worded user friendly not dev friendly!


    I also doubt that the IO booster is going to work the way mentioned...Can I put 6 of them into my Lockdown:Chance for Mag 2 Hold that is slotted into Volcanic Gasses?
  8. That's the thing, I am not sure what seems to be the best approach...I read a thread on blasters just now where someone said blasters are the worst AT in the game (Paraphrasing) and that is making me not want to continue.

    I am trying to jump in with a purple insp and go PBAoE, then jumping back with Electron Haze and picking them off one by one, I am not sure what to do.

    Also, I am keeping this toon strictly Praetorian.
  9. Do I have to unlock everything again, pick and choose what I want and save tokens?

    I am getting 27 tokens, where do I stand?

    Is the video on ustream only?
  10. Ok, I rolled my very first blaster and he is a Rad/Fire, What is everyone's feelings about these powersets?

    I like using Irradiate and Combustion together since they recharge at the same time, looks like I will have to find a way to IO for defense against melee or should I IO for something else?

    There are no guides for Rad/Fire.

    The person you are replying to actually referred to a range of x4 team size to x8 team size - they didn't mention increasing level at all.
    Thank you for the correction. Will it work to get me the most purples? I dont farm often and at this point in the game...all that is left to do is farm the crap out of everything.
  12. Ahh, I will try them tonight at 4+/8x. How long might it take to get something good?

    BTW, I have my lore pets and my Stoney and am sorta permadom/hasten

    I also have the Megolomaniac Acolade and Frenzy if this helps.

    Is it that easy? I have a level 50+1 eARTH/Ice/Ice Dom...is it possible to do this in RWZ and where would I get those missions?
  14. What about redside? What is the best way to get purples?

    I actually have been getting alot of purples (Stun, Sleep, Confuse and a few good ones) from the BAF.

    We can see tentacles behind the borders? Really?

    Here is the funny thing: In every picture where we see someone using a whip, there is a demon around...in this pic

    we do not see a demon ANYWHERE! We just see someone using a whip...let's hope?!

    Let's speculate!

    The hot items are Dark Control, Dark Assault, Illusion Control. Those are the top three in my head.

    The not so hot items...but requested are: Radiation Control, Radiation Assault, a natural control/assault set.

    Something is brewing...I hate the wait though!

    Just for ***** and giggles:

    It seems that shivans are going to get a level 1-20 facelift in that they could even use Fire and earth powers?! Since they fell in graveyards... they have that weird jello bag of bones look but now its more like a protoplasm of fire and debris.

    **ALL SPECULATION**

    Random speculation 'CAUSE THEY WON'T TELL US ANYTHING!
    http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Missio...hispered_Rumor

    One of the lowbie CoT does say that it takes longer to acess their magic. Since the CoT are primals, I want to say that a different dimension yields different results. and since the praetorian CoT magic is most likely long gone.

    But now that the Malleus Mundi and more importantly, the Circle of Thorns came to Praetoria, what stops the CoT from setting up a home base in Praetoria...for that matter what stops up any magic based group from going to praetoria and starting some funky mojo?!

    Then we get to the topic of Infernal and Diabolique. Infernal is either a refugee from another dinmension in praetoria or he is from praetoria. His Mother Lilitu
    (http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Lilitu) might also be praetorian or a refugee altogether.

    When it comes to Diabolique, we don't know her timeline at all. We don't know when she came to be, when she first used her powers. There are a few holes, which I am sure they will retcon as the praetorian story moves along.

    Nothing to get bent out of shape over.

    That said, it wouldn't have mattered to the majority of players (even RPers) imo. You know magic is not wanted for one reason or another, and I've yet to not see a major magic user type in Praetoria.
    Transmuter was a main magic user until his amulet was broken.
    (http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Transmuter ) Another example of my definition of how Cole has a stronghold on the magic in praetoria, no one can be stronger than him...and he doesn't mind having them around. Vanessa DeVore is also a major magic user.

    So far, there are only three main magic users I know in Praetoria: Marcus Cole, Transmuter and Vanessa Devore. Issue 21 introduces Serene Sorceress, who happens to be seriously pissed at Cole?!

    Dominatrix can also be considered magic because of the Sword of Hercules and the Girdle of Hera
