"Exclusive first look"? You mean aside from the open beta that anyone can freely check out, and the pictures and discussions of it that are posted all over the official forum and various fansites?

My scoopage means nothing.

The video says they locked up Rularuu but in fact shows video of Ruladak the Strong, one of the 7 split up components of Rularuu.

Good to know... but where is this info in-game? Is this just information "leaked" from the CoX Story Bible by a dev? And where are these "factory cubes" that are talked about?

Nice video. Can't wait to get my lvl 50 all natural Sharpshooter III into rome or wherever it is. If I'm right, I saw cynic rome/Greece in the sunset with a really big mountain... I'm a big "epic movie sets" kinda guy. If the set is bland and boring, it's not fun. But this seems very vibrant and natural, so I give it a 9/10 (not 10/10 cuz I did not walk around in it yet) But ya... this just might make me respect my fully natural heroes again... hard to compare a person with a bow and no travel powers to a guy with energy blasts, wings, flight, and lots of power boosts. But ya... great video, did not know they had anything to do with the alternate dimension of Firebase Zulu. Btw, I still wanna know if it's possible to get any over shoulder capes... will make me look a heck of allot more 'prestine' and 'important'.

Whoa...

I heard that Rularuu was trapped by a group of heroes into the Shadow Shard. I had no idea it was them. (Or maybe I did, and I just forgot.)

Cool video! Even though I've tried a lot of I-12 on Test, I still can't wait to play it for real on Live. Very excited!

So they Midnight Squad was responsible for banishing the Rualuu to the Shadow Shard. I would love to see the Rualuu have a greater presense in the game other than just for lvl 40+ content, they are very cool looking and so seldom seen. I remember the prelude to them being introduced to the game, when you'd see them exploring in small landing parties scanning the zones with those creepy eyeballs.

Anyway the I am so looking forward to I12.

They're not in the game, but the furnace used to create them was an IoP.

Oooohhhh! Raised, not razed!

I'm still completely confused by the Rularuu bit, though. Is it possible this Midnight Squad is lying to us?

I've been wondering that for a long time myself and I have never seen an answer about where the info about the non-ingame Rularuu components is. If I had to guess, people found character descriptions by digging through pigg files. As for the cubes: In the 2 or so days the COP trial was up the cubes spawned rularuu minions underneath them until they were all defeated. Once the three cubes were cleared you could enter the cavern that had more cubes and Ruladak. After he was defeated your SG was awarded an IOP.

That being said, nice video!

Don't forget the neverending chain holds! I think the old Rularuu invasion was more fun than the current Rikti invasions, even with the chain holding.

Great vid. Why do you keep putting that Cryptic Studios logo on the vids? Cryptic no longer owns the CoX IP anymore right?

I'm totally excited about it. The roman armor looks great and will be a welcomed addition to my endless hours in Icon.

If you're on Champion and begging for a PL in Atlas as I'm passing through, you might get to see them sooner than you think.

Several issues ago, Zube had a kora fruit mission in the shard waiting in his que when a game patch was applied. An odd bug moved the mission's door from the shard to Atlas Park. I have never completed it. Sometimes, when they're particularly annoying, I will respond to PL beggars by saying, "SURE you can join me in a mission! In fact, I have one right over heeeere...!"

Nifty. If I make a char on Champion, will you let me tag along for a look-see?

thought it was interesting that they mentioned stopping the Circle from raising Orenbega and they show a shot of Praetorian Infernal and his Summoning Altar
