Spring Fling < Going Rogue Information

1. Will characters created in Praetoria be able to get Halloween salvage right away, or do they have to wait until October or level 20?

Believe it or not, that really is the main thing I'm curious about, because it determines the character concept that I am planning to roll for GR.

2. In general, what are the marketing opportunities for Praetorians.
3. How are Loyalists divided from the members of the Resistance in terms of zones and PvP?
4. When will beta start?
5. Are they introducing the Spy archetype that was hinted at in that old marketing survey?

Let's see, I think these are the big ones, from me or anyone else:

1) How do Preatorians prior to 20 (Loyalists and Resistance) fit into the Hero/Villain opposition? Do they go to Wentworths or the Black Market? Do they join Super Groups or Villain Groups? Which side are they on in PvP?

2) After they leave Preatoria at 20, will they be stuck with this choice depending on what side they choose? How does this effect the previous question? Will this ultimately effect which Ancillary/Patron they get? Which "mutually exclusive" Accolades they get? Do they get access to all three "cities", or only two?

3) Will Heroes or Villains that switch sides lose access to their Ancillary/Patron? Will there be new Pools for the other side? If not, how do Villains do their Patron missions from the Hero side?

4) Are Vigilantes/Rogues with access to both sides barred from entering PvP zones from one side or the other? Or does that determine what side they're on in the zone?

5) What are the incentives to stay a Hero/Villain, and do you get them back if you switch sides and then switch back? Are the Epic ATs one such incentive? Can you unlock both side's Epic ATs with one character?

And I've got another for myself:

6) Will it be (eventually) possible to create Defenders/Controllers with Pain Domination, or Corruptors/Masterminds with Empathy, if they are created in Preatoria? For that matter, is it acceptable to the devs for Pain Domination or Empathy to switch sides, since the concept of Pain Domination was that villains cannot have Empathy?

Not quite. The question is:

1) Will characters created in Preatoria be able to TURN IN Halloween salvage right away, or do they have to wait until they go to Primal Earth?

While the question of whether they can get it is applicable too, if they have to go to either Annah or Granny Beldam to turn them in, then it comes down to when they can leave Preatoria.

Actually, that's a second question:

2) What is the earliest level Preatorians can leave for Primal Earth?

We're saying 20, but that's the LATEST they can leave.

BTW, I'm not expecting any of these questions to be ANSWERED. Especially the Market stuff. I'm just asking.

I really hope so. I had this character that I loved the idea of. Rolled her as an elec/pain corruptor as it was the only thing that would fit. I tried playing her, but by level sixteen or so it just didn't feel right. It was around then I realised that she was really a villainous, (or rogue now it's a possibility), pain/elec defender. She's been deleted since.

1)How do I side-switch?

2)What's to do at high levels? Any tfs/pvp changes/hard content

3)What's the storyline?

4)Any new IO sets?

5)Any new costumes?


Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!

1) Any new Powerset Proliferation in GR or I17?

2) How do we make our lvl 50s stronger in Going Rogue if Pretoria is only a lvl 1-20 area?

3) New IO sets?

4) Pool Power Customization done? I needs my new SS colours!

5) Will there be lvl 1-20 Task Forces or Strike Forces that help you go Rogue or Vigilante?

I'd like that. As a mostly soloist, I can't get much use out of Pain on a Corruptor; and the nifty self damage boost secondary effect of Pain isn't much use to a Mastermind.

...Darn it all.
Just realised I coulda made an Empathy/AR Defender and side-switched her, rather than the AR/Pain Corr I ended up rolling...

Problem is, I wanted to get her to 35 and get the ITF armour, which is done, and I still need to get the Nemesis rifle on her. Also, I'd rather she was more shooty than a healer. But /Pain has less buffing than Empathy, which is a fun set to play...
Humbug conumdrum! Humbug I say!

Interesting that that one looks open to EU residents, this time.
Even so, if it is *shrug* no big deal. If it isnt, more yet to come.

No GR info......
I really, really doubt it, personally. I'm fully expecting something GR-related, based on the 'flavour' of the dev hype posts.

I think they are putting those contest announcements up just to see how batty I will get. It is a conspiracy.

You mean like this?



"We are here at the City of Heroes Forums, where we've secretly replaced the fine Going Rogue information most everyone is waiting for with some fun contests and events for the month of February. Let's see if anyone can tell the difference!"

*sip*

I think until I read the announcement "Someone call 911! Perfect Pain is torching our offices!", you're winning. Hold on there, P_P!

Remember the Going Rogue announcement was initially rushed because of the Posirant about AE exploitation, just saying, so we had GR announced to quiet us down for a while, when in reality they would have probably wanted to announce it later, but had to because of someone shooting from the hip then realising that a better thought out and worded post would have done better.

Nothing to see here, move along

Actually...I don't remember that at all. Are we playing the same game?

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
