Between i16, Super Booster 3 and the bazillion alts I've got I see myself spending a whole lotta time at Icon / the Facemaker's place. Wonder if they'll offer volume discounts?

Niviene,

I think your a little late on this one. Unless your looking at getting the several, non-Red-name, threads about the GR site updates into here...

Thank you for the time...

Some sweet new lore about Desdemona and Maelstorm. Awesome job devs! Maelstorm looks awesome and Desdemona's pose is sexy. I can't wait to see what they put in for Tyrant.

Yep.

It's official.

I <3 Maelstrom. So awesome. And I want to steal his guns.

Wait until you see Tyrant in the same outfit making the same pose!

O_o

Seriously, though... looking forward to this quite a bit. I'm a little miffed my friendly, local, corporately owned game store isn't taking pre-orders yet.

So who else already has placeholder characters set up to reserve the names they want for their demon summoners and dual pistols wielders?

Maelstrom looks like he's dancing and firing into the air in your avatar.

I approve.

I have a few questions:

With the introduction of the Alignment System, does that mean there will be multiple options to answer when you talk to the contacts?

Will there be new early level content in Atlas Park/Galaxy City/Hollows/King's Row/Mercy etc, since we've all done that numerous times, or will the new low level stuff be restricted to only the Preatorian Earth area?

What will happen if your Rogue Isles character's alignment move to evil? Will they be shoved in a bag and mailed to Paragon City, or have "Rebel Without A Clue" options for mission acceptance? Will there be the same for heroes?

How much more graphic intensive will the game get? Some people (not me) are getting to the edge of their graphics cards. Will Going Rogue amp up the graphic requirements, or will it ease it up a little?

Will Boomtown and Dark Astoria be receiving attention in Going Rogue, since this is obviously a story advancement thing? Those areas have been like that since launch, and I'd like to see some movement, much like what was accomplished with The Hollows (which was a fantastic makeover IMHO)

How difficult will it be to port between the areas? Can a 1st level hero transition between Paragon City and Praetorian Earth, or is there going to be a different level cap?

Any word on how many zones there are going to be in Praetorian Earth? Are we going to see a fully clean Boomtown and Dark Astoria, or will they just be missing?

Finally: When does pre-order come out?

wait, so is this new info we were waiting on for July, or was that i16 we were waiting for?

Just one question: which year are you targeting to release this? Not a date, just a year.

This year? Next year? 2012?

you misunderstand my question

At one point, there was a posi post about something that was coming up. They said more details in July.

My question was, was that simething i16 or Giong Rogue.

I looked and it was a teaser of i16 and he said more details coming in July. so after i posted i searched for his post. He was refering to i16. And yes I saw waaay before that there was aa i16 update today. Whihc i am excited for.

The update for going Rogue however, not so much. want moar details!

The existing Praetorian arcs from Tina MacIntyre and Maria Jenkins are pretty old school - lots of defeat alls on outdoor maps and in the generic science base. Any plans to update these missions to coincide with GR?

In one of the missions Maria Jenkins says something like "If the Praetorians do invade then Portal Corp will be ground zero." It would be fantastic if Peregrine Island got a makeover to reflect exactly that - Praetorians controlling one of the Portal Corp buildings, and with a presence on the streets of PI, would be much cooler than the Behemoths in the parking lot we have now.

Indeed.... I got bored earlier, and already made myself a quick wallpaper of the two characters for my desktop... (granted it was done in about 10 minutes, and probably looks it...)

Link...

Would have thrown a "Going Rogue" logo up just above/behind them,(instead of the CoH/CoV logos in the bottom right corner) but I couldn't find an image to snag for it... >_>;

Edit: Made it cause the ones they have on the site didn't grab my attention enough...

So Desdemona is basically Bettie Page with straight hair? I can get behind that.

I find the name choice of "Desdemona" very interesting.

Googling it brings up definitions of: ill-starred, ill-fated, misery, wretched, unlucky

The most notable character is not some greek heroine, but the loyal, devoted wife of Shakespeare's Othello. Desdemona defied her father to marry Othello. Othello eventually murdered Desdemona in a jealous rage fired by Iago's manipulations.

Well, in the middle of the biggest paragraph of her bio - it does mention her jealous BF trying to "Teach her a lesson".

But, he is the one that gets killed.

Aye.
And... munitions... any way to combine that with pistols without losing animation time? Oh, and pirate pistols, please, as well as Silver Heat .45 pistols.

Her name just makes me think of Gargoyles >.<

She needs an alternate costume with blue skin, red hair, demon wings, a tail, and a skimpy loincloth type outfit. lol

I know, the Gargoyles character was just named Demona, but it still makes me think of her.

I thought we'd at least get an approx. date for release.

Anyway, I am hoping this expansion brings as much as CoV did. I hope that means new ATs, NEW maps/mission maps (please don't ever use what we have ever again - done to death) and the side switching ability etc.

If you don't get the box does that mean you cannot side switch??

Now we just need Tyrant doing a cool pose in the background or in the foreground for a Charlie's Angel type vibe.
