I don't think they see it as a cop out no. What it does do is raise the bar for any content they release from here on out. If they release stuff that could just as easily been made in the MA then why should we bother with the hassle of running all over creation to do it?

I'm expecting no more than one Praetorian zone with which you can begin new characters. At level 10 or so, you will be forced to dive out into the "real" world as a hero or a villain or as a neutral.
However, if I'm completely wrong and they give us the ability to level from 1 to 50 in Praetoria, well rock on. I'll be happy to be wrong. But I'm certainly not placing any bets on that.

Well Positron said here that Praetoria consists of several new zones. Depending on what is in them that's as large as CoV was when it launched.

Sweet. As I stated, I'm glad to be proven wrong. Thanks for that link!

With all the hoopla about the cool stuff coming in i16, I have to note that it says nothing whatsoever about anything in the way of new story.

OMG, I am like so good at predicting the precise amount of FAIL in Bad's predictions!
I wonder if there's some way to monetize this unerring sense of mine?

To be fair, I missed that as well. But I was gone for a month and a half.

Right, but Bad said:
You may want to see it, but I doubt you will see it.
I am expecting not more than one new zone, if that. We will be lucky to get even one. I would even be happy just to see stuff added to unused present zones, but I doubt we will be getting that either.
I am guessing: 1. One new zone 2. a few costume pieces and 3. the ability to change sides, and I would bet more than a dollar that we don't see much else.

Hasn't it already been confirmed like on day ONE of the GR announcement that GR would have Pistols and Demon Summoning?
And then again revealing that those powersets had to do with the signature characters in a trailer.
Just saying, that what's been announced (so far) as going to be in GR has been known for a while.
Bad makes it sound like this will be just some minor issue.

Bad's out of control pessimism on pretty much every topic makes gauging the accuracy of her predictions so simple even a goat can do it.

*shrug* I will believe that we actually get "several new zones" inside of one new issue, when I actually log into the game on Test and see them in place. What they say and what we get are not always the same thing. However not to disappoint my fans, I never saw any such announcement from the developers until just now. So get over it.
I also didn't mention new powersets, whether pro or con, therefore any crowing over that is a non-sequiter. My understanding was that the new powersets are part of Going Rogue which is a paid expansion, not issue 16.
Unless we're paying for everything in issue 16, which wouldn't really surprise me - but I'm not sweating it either way. Not going to war over whether or not they are or are not included.

You still seemed to be confused.
Issue 16: Power Spectrum - not paid for, free issue.
Going Rogue - paid for expansion - this is where you'll find the new zones and powersets.

I dunno how there could be any confusion. It really isn't a hard concept to grasp.
What I noticed most, (and I hope I am seeing things as they are as opposed to how I would like.) is that there does not seem to be any War-Walls in Praetorian Earth as in CoV...
Perhaps a series of zones like Croatoa, with the walls being a simple barrier. heading off to one side would load up the next zone when you reach the edge of the map instead of just bumping into the wall like a doofus. maybe a warning message like in instanced areas [Warning! You are about to exit this zone.] And maybe weather. And Pie...

[/ QUOTE ]its a matter of attitude. everyone misses details, but when you act smug about it, its fun watching you get slammed with the facts.
and for those who remember, i got nailed with being smug in the power customization thread and missing a detail, and for my attitude, i deserved to get slammed on it too, check before you wreck.

I expect Going Rogue will have a metric ton of story, arcs and systems as well.
[/ QUOTE ]
While I don't expect it will be on the level of CoV, I agree with this statement.
[/ QUOTE ]
I think GR will be on the level of Issue 6 in terms of content. 7+ new zones and story arcs to go along with em. The past, we've only gotten a dribble of new content. I want to see metric boatload of new content.

That would be an insult of a boxed expansion. GR must have at least as much mission content and zones as CoV. The only thing it will be missing is 5 new ATs and all the new power sets that go along with it.
