Oohh Eyecandy. Yes, it looks like I need to upgrade my trusty pc and bring it out of the steamage.
High collars, packpacks & new shoulders, oh my!
Craft your inventions in AE!!
Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!
I've absolutely fallen in love with Praetoria. The redesigns for the Praetorians are awesome, and I look forward to meeting this Psychic Friends Network.
Dunno about Demon Summoning though. :/
Never surrender! Never give up!

I like the demons. I was expecting something half-***, like fire imps and CoT demons. The one's we're getting are actually kinda cool.
Here's hoping GR brings in more variety to costume pieces.
Looking at the demon pics, I have to wonder if we're looking at the three summons (minion lieut and boss) or just one of the types (minions maybe) that actually changes and grows as you upgrade it...

That was what I thought as well, that somehow they would resemble existing mobs an awful lot. Glad to be wrong here! |

As for one pet in various buffstages.. that would be cool as well. If this were the tiny one and weak one, what would the last pet look like?...
I want it more now even..
Shame about the Rikti Pic being fuzzed a bit. Can't make out if it is a picture intended to show updated textures and such or if it's supposed to show off new meshes for the characters, smoothing things a little (fuzzing makes it look smoother anyway..)

The Rikti in the screenshot don't look like different models from the current ones, but they're definately displaying the improved graphics. Look at their shadows.
Edit: Beaten to it!
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 want Mother Mayhem's boots. Those look like some nice boots.

And new groups to fight is nice. And the work on the praetorians.. whoa.. Wonder how long the entire phalanx gets ridiculed for their cossies, making them have to up their fashion sense as well
With, of course, something special for Ms. Liberty in that..
The new water graphics make me want to drool..

Now that's a bridge I could happily drop a blonde girl off of.
@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.

G'night
So shiny... As an in game resident of the Etoile Isles (Slogan: "You'll never get a tan on our beaches!"), Praetoria is a refreshing change..
I mean, Paragon City has a realistic city look. It's shiny, but it isn't perfect. The Rogue Isles are like "UBER-DYSTOPIA" everywhere but the nice part of Cap Au Diable and around Golden Giza. But Praetoria is just fancy... I mean, it's also evil. But it's a fancy Evil. Makes Arachnos look like they don't have any class.
Tyrant looks a bit generic without the whole superhero look going.
I mean you look at him and think "This guy rules the world? Seriously? What the hell?"
And then he tosses a truck at you and fries you with lightning for good measure...
I do want to see what the Praetorian Rogue Isles look like. I would not be surprised if it the resistance were based there. I don't think we've seen Praetorian versions of Arachnos's archvillains. I know Praetoria isn't a "mirror" universe persay, but I want to know how they're going to handle that.
Hmm... I can't wait for this! I hope I can get my laptop fixed in time!
to 
TO THE END!Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!
Hm, is it me or do the resistance look like upgraded freakshow?

The improved graphics are so, so awesome. I hope we get the actual screenshots from that slideshow posted once HeroCon is over.

I was thinking that the character there looks a bit like he could be Dr. Aeon.

My story arcs: #2370- Noah Reborn, #18672- The Clockwork War, #31490- Easy Money
Sartre once said, "Hell is other people." What does that make an MMO?
Wonder if the transit service in Praetoria has actual buses that go to those bus stops. That would be a huge step up and a sure sign they are evil.

These were pictures taken by Fuzon were posted in the Hero Con section, so I thought posting thm here would help bring them to more players
