Couldn't help but notice in the new Mastermind powerset "Demon Summoning" says the personal attack power is a "Flaming Whip." I thought free movement powers like whips/ball and chain, ect. weren't possible with the current graphics engine.
Thoughts, anyone?
The summoned demons fail for not looking like this:
Or perhaps that would be too hideous and require the expansion be labeled "M for Mature"?

QTF. I could not be more happy with the designs of the demons. They look metal as all getout.

Yeah, it's pretty...But I want to see some hardware requirements. As it stands I'm having enough trouble running some of the newer stuff in CoX...And I'm really starting to feel like my PC is not gonna be able to handle GR.
The off-beat space pirate...Capt. Stormrider (50+3 Elec/Storm Science Corruptor)
The mysterious Djinn...Emerald Dervish (50+1 DB/DA Magic Stalker)
The psychotic inventor...Dollmaster (50 Bot/FF Tech Mastermind)
Virtue Forever.

The minimum requirements are supposed to be mostly unchanged. The ultra graphical settings are just a new setting, and aren't required. If you can play CoH now, you should be able to play Going Rogue.

Regarding graphical updates: Whoa.
Be well, people of CoH.
I was thinking of you when the updates were tweeted. anyhow, as per the demons, yeah, they look nice, they kind of look like the bipedal but different stance for monsters that i have wanted for some time, usually in the form of raptor-like dinos. It appears i will be making my first mastermind to go beyond level 10. also, i love how clean and pristine the outfits of the "bad guys" look, It reminds me a bit of aeon flux. Also, it is an interesting possibility that the resistance may well be bizarro freakshow. you figure that in this world they are anarchistic rebels, in a full on fascist state, they would naturally gravitate to the resistance, wouldnt they?
I'm wondering what the scoop will be with ultra-mode versus ATI incompatibilities. Also wondering just how much horsepower is going to be needed for ultra-mode. Yes... my no mastermind decision will probably get tossed with demon summoning. That look sweeeet.
Be well, people of CoH.

*whistle* Man that looks good.
Demon summoning reminds me vaguely of the Necromancers pets in Guild Wars.
The new water and textures look downright amazing.
The upgrade is way more than I was daring to hope for - it almost makes it look like a totally new engine - and the reflections on the costume parts are amazing

More accurately its the 3 attacks the Demon MM uses, like the pistols, bow, etc of other sets.

I am greatful that I will be upgrading to a new PC next year so it can handle the ultra-graphics
One more thing, any sign of new female idle stances? It would be cool to see females stand in comic fashion(Mark Silvestri) instead of the current?

Hmm, would the Praetorian Rikti be benevolent? Since everything there is supposed to be kinda backwards?
Quote:
I'm not sure the Rikti have invaded that dimension - just like the 5th Column might not exist there, because Tyrant might have taken over the world before WWII started - Praetoria isn't a total mirror of our world.

Woo. I was hoping just for a lighting upgrade but that is just awesome!! totally looking forward to that.
Question though, will All of CoH look like this? or just after you purchase Going Rogue?
Combat Kangaroos, Justice Server. First 50's
Jirra Roo Plant/Storm/Stone/Musculature Controller
Combat Kangaroo Rifle/Energy/Mace/Spiritual Blaster
Kung Fu Kangaroo Martial Arts/Reflexes/Body/Spiritual Scrapper
Tribal Arc Shield/Elec/Mu/Spiritual Tanker
Quote:
Rikti would be the same since they are from an entirely different dimension. Unless there's a second Rikti dimension that's the Praetorian version of the normal Rikti dimension.
