Official Going Rogue Discussion

Yo. I don't even know what this thread is about... but... Parliament is the funkiest musical group of all time.

Also, join the FPvPL. Here is a link to the rules. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=206796

I hope that with Posi now working only with end-game stuff means there will be lots of stuff for 50´s to do, both in Going Rogue and in the original game... That said I surely doubt they would be making a new expansion ONLY for toons below lvl 20.

I have a feeling that while Praetoria is the "New World," the fact that it's 1-20 makes it mainly a new starting area for those bored with the pre-existing early content. The rest of going Rogue, my guess is, is devoted to new contacts and content in CoV/CoH that have moral repercussions, and perhaps even branching stories. So new content for 1-20 in Praetoria, but sprinklings of new content for 1-50 in CoH/CoV. At least that's what I'm thinking. We shall see.

I've been doing alot of reading online trying to find more information on Going Rouge and there's something interesting I've found.

In a previous topic people had said that there was no pretorian version of Lord Recluse because Stefan Richter was killed by Tyrant. However, on Primal Earth we have Ghost Widow and it seems the Pretorian Belladonna Vetrano was never killed like her Primal Earth counterpart. This only bares the reasoning that for one thing being dead doesn't mean you don't exsist and that the Pretorian versions of Lord Recluse and Ghost Widow have reversed roles.

Nothing offical has been said about there not being a pretorian counterpart for Lord Recluse just that he was killed. Not much has been said about Ghost Widow either except that she's apperently alive and working with the resistance.

My thinking about the members of Arachnos...

Ghost Recluse: The spirit of the murdered Stefan Richter.

Seer Widow: I kinda picture Belladonna Vetrano as a former Seer sence they are described as Pretorian Widows and on Primal Earth she was a former Night Widow before her death.

Paolo Marino: Sence he was mutated in the same "accident" that killed Ghost Widow he will most likely being a normal looking person rather than the mutated mess he is on Primal Earth.

White Scorpion: Ernesto Rodriguez on Primal Earth seems to have stolen his armor from Dr. Quatrexin. I think on Pretorian Earth Dr. Quatrexin gave him the armor and he would look just like the Primal Earth Dr. Quatrexin.

Golden Mantis: White Scorpion helped Tamura Shirai controll her addiction so she never turned to a life of crime like her Primal Earth counterpart.

Sharkman: Rather than Gideon Ray's parrents chooseing to give him up for adoption before they ever got a chance to make that choice he and his parrents were asked to live with Tyrant so that he may help to develop the boys powers. When Gideon reached adulthood his parrents were killed by the pretorian Scrapyard who Gideon later found out was a hired mercenary paid by Tyrant to test his abilitys. Gideon Ray failed Tyrant's test as he was unable to save his parrents and for putting them in that danger in the first place Gideon joined the Resistance.

Coral: Kelli Forston on Primal Earth seems to have been Infected by the Coralax while on Pretorian I think she was gifted by them. As a former treasure hunter on Primal Earth she probly tried to steal something from them and was attacked turning her into one of them. On Pretorian Earth rather than stealing when she discovered the Coralax she returned whatever she took from them and as a reward was given their powers without the physical mutation.

Scirocco and Ice Mistral are rather easy to figure out sence it's in their descriptions that both titles originally belonged to Heroes.

Of course this is all my own speculation and even if this doesn't come to pass with launch I think it could still be possible with future updates.

"Ghost Recluse: The spirit of the murdered Stefan Richter."

Can someone show me WHERE it says that Stefan Richter on Praetorian Earth was killed pls? All I see as evidence of this so far is conjecture by players.

"Ernesto Rodriguez on Primal Earth seems to have stolen his armor from Dr. Quatrexin. I think on Pretorian Earth Dr. Quatrexin gave him the armor and he would look just like the Primal Earth Dr. Quatrexin."

Are they gonna change the nature of Black Scorpian SO much that he doesn't wanna upgrade himself to be the ultimate of who he is?

"Sharkman"

Think Cpatain Mako will be a "Captain" still imo, if he exists at all.

I think, though, that you're getting confused between an "Alternate" Earth and a complete negative. Not all things are opposite, just .... different.

Oh, and I SO wanna see what the link to Atlantis is, considering BaB said there would be "NO" underwater sections.

I don't think we could have a COMPLETE mirror universe though, otherwise the big bang would never have taken place :P

I do hope that they DON'T make EVERYTHING opposite otherwise, for me, things would be a little to easy to second guess.

Don't forget also that the leader of the resistance is one Calvin Scott who is a good guy on Primal Earth also. Although we know little of him atm in GR I think it'd be a little daft if he DID turn out to be "Not so nice". Again, to easy.
