I'm wandering what that means exactly. Does that mean that People who have lvl 50's on both sides get nothing out of it? Are there going to be more EAT's? I need me some clarification!!!

Interesting. Can you preorder from NCSoft store or does it have to be from Gamestop? I've had problems before with getting preorder items from Gamestop so would rather go about it some other way if possible...

Am I the only one that's not all that impressed with Ultra Mode? From what I've seen, water and some other things are a little shinier, and there's a few more shadows.. that's about it.

Hopefully I'm mistaken.

You are supposed to see your reflection and the reflection of others in the water, windows and anything else reflective. Looks pretty kool!

Will this allow for some powers that were previously undoable to become doable. That just didn't sound right..............But you get what I'm saying.

I actually look forward to being able to play as a Kheldian sooner, since I just started the game a month ago. But would you be able to play in Praetoria without using Ultra mode? I'm still running XP, after all.


(Must get the SE no matter what.)

Ultra mode is completely optional, and is free regardless of your account status. Praetoria is only accessible via the GR expansion.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Ok, question that ya'll may be able to answer. I know they said with GR villains could become heroes and heroes become villains. Do they mean ones made *after* GR is released can become heroes or villains, depending on which alignment you start or can existing villains/heroes switch sides? Basically, I'm tying to decide if I should worry about making a stalker now and play through now and experience the villainy side of things or... just wait to level up my stalker as I won't want to level the same stalker twice.

Yeah this looks awesome. Although I'll admit I kind of expected i17 to be GR. But July isn't too long to wait, especially if I can getz me some Dual Pistols and Demon action before then.

I don't really like the Epics at level 20 thing. What were they thinking there?


 

Posted

They were thinking of making all content accessible to all players, and to remove one of the main reasons for PLing to 50.

You may as well complain about the epic badges being easily gotten.

With Going Rogue, you will be able to play any character you have created or will create through the process of 'changing sides' and you can change them back as well. Posi said (for example) that you could take your favourite existing Villain and play him through to Hero side and back and then repeat if you wanted to. But he was clear that it wasn't just flipping a switch. You had to work for it.

First. Did they really use the term "Pretail?"

Second, I hope that them letting Summoning and Dual Pistols out of the bag early means there will be some other extra powersets in GR. One of my largest issues with the expansion was the lack of info regarding this.

((Will this allow for some powers that were previously undoable to become doable. That just didn't sound right))

We'll have to see. Most likely not.


New powersets in GR besdies Summoning and DP? Possibility.

Wouldn't work.

The stealth breaks if you attack or move.

Log on to the game. Type [shadowy presence] in the channel of your choice. Click on it.


It's not a big secret.
