That's the problem with an eye-witness. they can only tell you what they, themselves, saw. Not what actually happened.

And for those who scoff at that statement I give you This. Just because you -saw- something doesn't mean it actually happened in exactly the way you saw it.

Under such conditions, it is very understandable that good people would support actions that would be unthinkable to them in a peacetime setting.

Sort of like a house in a zombie movie with a bunch of strict-minded police trying to keep every window and door closed while the civilians inside cry for them to open the door and see if the zombies are really gone. Are the police just trying to be power-mad jerks, or will opening any door be the mistake that brings up the credits because the movie is over?

I love how 'grey' Praetoria is, because that's exactly how such a city would be compared with Primal Paragon City and the Rogue Islands. I also love the 'modern/real world' look to Praetoria, which definitely sets a more realistic tone for the place (Paragon City always looked like a hyper-evolved 1930-1950 city and the Rogue Islands colonial or Evil-Fortess type cities, perfectly fitting for each of their type of inhabitants). Reminds me of the film 'The Last Action Hero', when the villian tells the hero what he likes about the 'real' world..."Because here, the bad guys can win!!"

Praetoria has to be the best thought-out and realized addition to COH I have ever seen. I am in amazement as to how well the team put together a world that not only was consistently 'grey' in morality, but made sense that it would be that way.

If anything this is a repulsor beam, not a tractor beam

Seems to me lately that as soon as a scrapper walks into a room "morale breaks."

Or the enemies aren't running away at all and are instead deciding that they'll take less damage from range so they get out of melee and revert to ranged attacks.

I don't know, obviously. I'm sick of it happening as well.

Going Rogue is having that effect on me, though.

That's it. I do not believe in any other mental disorders. At all. Citing them does nothing against my argument because my argument is that they are not real.
