Well, there's no reason why they couldn't make a tunnel network under a zone - like Faultline, but expanded a lot.

Will it be the Tyrant bio, or will they add a new one, like Belladonna's?

I don't think they'll be available right away - they've said that during the tutorial you get the chance to join the Resistance or Tyrant's thugs, so it wouldn't make much sense if you could dress like them before you actually joined them |

No more hunting VG merits for making a Vanguard character, thanks. That sort of thing is a killer of Fun |

The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.
Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
Actually (as my most recent negative rep comment so thoughtfully pointed out), since you guys "pay someone more talented than [me] to [make videos]," now that you can access the new spiffy shiny stuff, can we please get a new ad?
Don't get me wrong, the CGI one was cool, but a trailer with the actual Ultra Mode in-game graphics would kick major a**. And Ken Morse DID say at HeroCon that the /demorecord feature works with Ultra Mode...
Please? And put it on your YouTube channel!

Links help ^_^
This isn't a criticism or anything, but I think that things like this:
Kinda makes it really, really important to revamp things like this:
I think that with GR, some of the oldest models in the game have become way too obviously older models.
They were shown up a lot by things like this:
But the step up the game's taking in GR really does make the older models seem like they're not even from the same game now.
I'm hoping that the pormise of more content post GR will include updates of some of the oldest faction models - like the way the Rikti were given awesome new models for the RWZ revamp.

The screenshot is nice, but the bio really got my attention.
I like the name "Hamidon Wars" sounds like an epic conflict 
@Golden Girl

Wow, devs... just... Wow.
First you come at us with that epic screenshot, which I really hope that it's a player costume. Then you bring us that bio of Tyrant, which makes me see him in a completely different light than I did before I read that bio. It makes it seem like Primal Earth is full of bad guys (and badder, if you're a villain). I can't wait to see what you guys have up your sleeves next!
ATs to 50 - TA/A Def, Nrg/Nrg Blaster, EM/EA Brute, WS,ELM/ELA Stalker
yay now i can work on my charcs bio to complete him...plz tyrant just looks shiny and god awesome.
The lighting in the screenshot just looks so much more realistic than the current lighting we have - the way it's able to be darker, with more pools of shadows and patches of light is so awesome.

Revamp > More New shinies (after GR< obviously)
New shinies Do. Not. Work. if the chassis of the game is starting to rust, looks wise anyhow. The old models look Terrible. Really, really Terrible.
Please, WW, you said Not every Issue had to have a new feature. Make Revamping the old stuff come true?

You know, standing there in your glowing armor, with dual pistols visible in holsters at your hips, and then turning on Walk and hearing the sound effects of your footsteps on the hard concrete as the only noise in the silent shadows of the under city could quite possibly overload your computer with badassery, causing it to shut down until the badassery has been brought back down to a more managble level.
