Recluse's Victory: Issue 7 Update!

Fantastic! I love the way there's actually an RP justification for it never permanently succeeding either way. The heroes have to keep trying to stop it because if the villains always succeed, then they win, and the villains, if they keep trying, ensure that the heroes are distracted from Recluse's other plans. Plus, who knows, the heroes might give up eventually!

Wow, I can't wait to fight alongside (and against) the signature heroes and villains.

Me and Manticore kicking Scirroco's butt! Yeah!

FOR THE HORDE!

Out-Friggin-Standing. I love it _Awry_, very much.

I can't wait to go out and give it a try.

I love the concept of RV... my only Qualm is that it makes it sound like *our* history's Lord Recluse is an underachiever. He couldn't manage to take over Atlas Park, so he's just dialing up an alternate timeline where an obviously more ambitious Lord Recluse pulled it off. I look forward to the opportunity to beat down on him and his cronies

Think of it as a less ambitious Statesman.

Ok, if that's all the previews, can we please have Issue 7 on the test server already?

Sounds like the hero enterance might be

Yes, but don't the other PvP zones have level limits, too? So you wouldn't necessarily have to worry about a level one wandering in...just extra goofy traffic in a zone that's already in poor shape.

If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I'm sure they'd lock down the Portal itself.

Or perhaps no Statesman...since "our" Paragon's cities States will be going into the portal to fight alongside the heroes...perhaps that universe's States didn't quite make it through something. Perhaps due to that one thing in the issue where they're trying to get Prometheus's flame? ((trying to avoid spoilers))

The strongest among us will join this struggle. Following me into battle are Manticore, Positron, Sister Psyche, Synapse, and Back Alley Brawler.

And once again, Numina gets completely overlooked.

Have you ever faught Diabolique from the Praetorians?
Phase-shifting like a carnie MI, then super-speeding all over the place.
My guess is thats why Numina wont be there.

I would have put the portal someplace else, myself. Don't the devs already acknowledge that Atlas Park is way too crowded as it is?

I thought Back Alley Brawler was retired? CoV says he's only a threat to level 30-40 villains anyway. Citadel would have been a much better candidate if they needed a Tanker out there.

At least the whole time travel thing makes a little more sense now, with the idea of using temporal anchors to "overwrite" the real future with this alternate future. That of course spawns a lot more questions about this alternate timeline, but that's quantam physics for you.

And so, Lord Recluse calls on all villains of the Rogue Isles to take part in this epic battle that will determine the very fate of the future. Read the transcript of Lord Recluse’s radio address here.

Is it me, or does our valiant Lord prefer the majestic output of a Smith-Corona?

Another interesting thing in that screen-shot of Lord's new 'Atlas Park,'... the War Walls are turned off.

I think he's talking about the Rikti invasion at the end of CoH beta.

[/ QUOTE ]

But as far as I knew that was never really in-canon...

Can we get some clarification?

[/ QUOTE ]
The CoH beta event was "out of canon", a re-enactment, if you will.

Most people are not going to fret over the mistake in the copy. It's not a big deal.

What I want to know is: Will we get a cameo from Ubelman in RV?

Sorry if you don't remember. It had to be done.

LOgically, the portal should be somewhere in Peregrine Island.

It would be cool if it was in Faultline, however.

I find that kind of silly. Considering all of the stuff we've had to go through when it comes to portal tech, they'd put in Atlas Park?

I mean...if it's 40-50, I'd expect it to be in Peregrine, y'know, with Portal Corp. (In fact, I really don't like the PVP zone entrance locations period in CoH.)

But if this is what they're doing, I demand that they have a Longbow jail with a couple confused Hellions in it.

Since RV takes place in an alternate Atlas, doesn't it make sense to put the portal in our Atlas?

If it follows earlier CoH design standards we’ll meet the contact in D.A.T.A. then travel all the way back to PI to access the portal.
