Going Rogue: Site Update!

The GR site has a little bit more detail today than it had yesterday.

Cue renewed wild speculation about release dates?


 

Posted

Release Date:

November 10.

Date that everyone that wants one has any new AT/Powerset combo at level 50 using AE farms:

November 11.

Date bored level 50s start yelling about lack of content:

November 12.


I suppose that's a bit extreme...more realistically, all three will happen on the 10th.

Desdemona is a... "demon-summoning Mastermind?" Oh ho ho ho. I think I know for certain what the next powerset is.

She has long flowing hair.. **sighs longingly**

Her powersets: Demon Summoning/Darkness

Not Dark Miasma. I'm thinking Darkness Assault, as in Pistols/Energy hinted towards Energy Assault, or whatever blasters had.

New Domness, not MMness.

Other than the part where it specifically says she's an MM.

Did you just miss the line immediately above her powersets?

The one that says Archetype: Mastermind?

edit: Doh! 1 moment slow.

Sweeeeet!!!!! Finally Confirmation on Blasters(at Least) are FINALLY getting Dual Pistols Woooty Wooooot!!! Makes me happy. I thinks Going Rogue is gonna renew my love and interest in Cox Wonder if were going to get the City Vault to go with the few Profiles already up(Tyrants Next!!) Be an awesome addition imo. Either way even with the little bit of info we have to go on, Going Rogue is shaping up O so nicely

It lists "Mastermind" as her Archetype right on her page.

Edit: Dang, freakin' two people beat me to it!

I gotta say, Maelstrom's background seems kind of generic. Gee, an ultra-secret government agent who got cheesed because the feds disavowed him in order to keep their secrets from being revealed? C'mon NC, federal disposession is on its way to being the villain version of dead parents for motivation. I'm sorry, but meh.

Oh well, I guess they can't all be winners.


BackAlleyBrawler: I can't facepalm this post hard enough.
ShoNuff: If sophisticated = bro-mantically emo-tastic, then I'm going to keep to my Shonen loving simplicity dammit.

I have had this question burning in my mind since i learned about Praetoria. What about Signature Villains what are they like.

"Weight: 120 lbs.". Yeah, in her bra.

They're probably a lot like dead bodies.

Wait, why is Maelstrom's Origin "Mercenary Super-powered Soldier"

O.o

And the full background intimates either Status Protection or Psi Defense/Resist (versus MM's mind invasion). I'm not sure what to make of that (Signature power maybe) on a Blaster.

Lots of potential tid-bits in this update, the Mercenary Super-Powered Soldier Origin listed for Maelstrom seems to suggest that not only will GR have new AT's, but completely new origins as well! I think that this might be an attempt to include the long-held idea of a "Spy" class, with the concept possibly expanded over several different origins.

The Secret Identity aspect of the bio's may be nothing more than fiction to fill out their biographies, my guess is that it's not a game-play aspect of GR.

Interesting stuff!

It's great to see another update! Not sure I would want my daughter to model her attire on Desdemona's, but her bio was pretty good!
I'm looking forward to Tyrant's bio! I'm hoping it is as detailed as the other two, and allows us to see what 'turned' him down this dark path, as well as his daughter's rebellion and granddaughter's coming to the fold.
But shoot, finally more! Yummy crumbs!

I suppose I'd get lambasted for wishing that our characters could look as nicely detailed as they are in their profiles? I know, I'm spoiled from console games....
