Do we know yet whether "flipped" characters will be able to return to the regular game areas?

So many people have said that certain Villain archetypes would be overpowered on heroside that I'm wondering about this.

If I take a Mastermind into the new area, and swing him over to Heroic, can I then take him into Paragon City?

I've searched and found many people asking the same, but no answers. Did I miss it, or do we not know yet?

Thanks!

I don't see how any villain AT would be over powered in CoH. That just seems very silly IMO.

Have there been any info for what happens if your hero(es) stay the path and does not cross over?

You should go re-read the press release. It states it very clearly. I'd give you the link to it, but unfortunately my work has the site blocked, so since I can't do that, here is the little clip from it.

For the first time, hero characters can become villains and vice versa, enabling hero archetypes to cross over to the Rogue Isles™ and villain archetypes to experience Paragon City™.

STEALTH EDIT!!!

That wasn't there when I read the Press Release! They must have changed it!!!


Okay, more seriously, obviously I just missed it.

Thanks!

Just wondering how things will work wrt Going Rogue.

- I assume the other poster was right about having to be in Praetoria (sp) to switch sides.
- If a hero flip in Praetora, can they then return to Rogue Isles, but not Paragon City?
- If your in an SG, and you flip, do you stay in the SG, or do you get booted
- What about the economy? Villains switch to Hero, get their cheap IOs, then switch back. Or will the economies be melded together?

I'm thinking it's going to be accessible in a way similar to Pocket D: Gate(s) only for "Villains" to access the Rogue Isles and separate gate(s) only for "Heroes" to access Paragon City. Doing stuff for different contacts in Praetoria moves your morality one way or the other and that dictates which gates you can use.

What I would really like to know is if Praetoria has a starting point like Outbreak and Breakout for starting characters, if there will be new contacts in the extant starting zones to access Praetoria, if you must enter either the Rogue Isles or Paragon City before you can enter Praetoria or what have you.

In other words, will we be able to take what is currently a Villain-only or Hero-only AT directly to Praetoria from the character creation screen or will we have to enter one of the extant zones?

Only thing I'm concerned about is..

If we now have a Praetoria zone, does that mean no more Portal Corp. trips to Praetoria?

I love those portals.

I don't get why the company wanted to start an official thread regarding ROGUE. We know so little about what we're getting or when. What can we really talk about? It has deteriorated to discussing female body types and the such?

Ah well. Maybe we'll get something.

It might be a little easier for them to see (or ignore) a single a thread than a bunch of disparate threads spread throughout the boards so they might (might) address the concerns of the players more efficiently.

Or not.

I doubt that they will do that; Going Rogue is a paid expansion which would imply that if you don't purchase the expansion, then you cannot access that additional content, so I doubt that they would remove all that extant story content. If anything, they would probably update some of the missions to allude to the more expanded content in Going Rogue as a bit of marketing to players who might not purchase the expansion.

Heck, put contacts in Portal court and inside the buildings to explain Praetoria like they added the contacts in the Hazard Zones and give them a "There's more out there..." (dun, dun, DUN) spiel.

I agree also. As far as updating poratl corp. content..especially the Maria Jenkins arc that last board where States is hanging,should be more of a dungeon setting than an looping cave and remove the throne out of that room. Cause im sure they will give him a more lavish throne room setting because of his title "Emperor" Cole. It would seem more fitting Imo.

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

What's a 'placeholder character'?
How do I make one?
How do I use it?

Please explain!

placeholder character = just a lvl 1 randomly generated schmo so you can reserve the name you want until the new stuff comes out at which time you delete place holder and make new toon.

Thats the gist of it anyhow.

If I already paid for CoH, how do I get the Going Rogue expansion?

When it comes out you buy it. You then access your City of Heroes account from the web (link on the front page of cityofheroes.com) and update your existing account.

That's it, you're done.

Oh, you may have to install off the disc. Dunno about that yet or not.

It is doubtful that it will be necessary to install from the disk(s) for Going Rogue as there will most likely be a pre-download (as with just about every other issue and City of Villains) before Going Rogue goes live. If it is like CoV release, every computer that tries to access the game will have to patch to the new release, even if the player doesn't purhcase the expansion; it's a matter of being able to render new objects, costumes, etc., that other players will have available.

Everyone will probably have to download the Going Rogue data, even if some players don't purchase the Going Rogue expansion. There will probably be a pre-order (like CoV) and we will just need to apply the code for the expansion to our existing accounts, even before we receive any physical disks.

Maelstrom's face creeps me out a bit...

He looks like this guy from the Youtube series THE ENNEAD (shameless plug).

I totally want to have babies with Desdemona and I don't even like girls o.O

By the by, anyone else have the amazing idea of Hellfire Whip + Dual Pistols = Indiana Jones toon...


 

Posted

My hope for Going Rogue is that we're getting more new powers than just Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning.
When COV was added, the content included new archetypes and a good amount of new powers. I would hope for nothing less from a new expansion. Powerset Proliferation is always nice (hoping for a Dark Blaster someday) but new powers - water powers, quarterstaffs, whips, throwing daggers for blasters, some kind of "magic" power, light/laser/photon blasts - would be most welcome and a new expansion would certainly be the time to unveil a lot of new goodies.

For all of you unhappy with Desdemona's figure:

Enjoy

Oh, snap! The Ocho just got Old School on us!

But seriously, there are things on that video that frighten me.

Not necessarily in a bad way.

Now, when can we have a "Surface Tension" slider?

Talk to Jay, Ocho. Now.

QUIT with the readin', I said NOW!
