Going Rogue at PAX
Yes, and the data used for both test server are the same.
In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.
There's one thing I don't get....
On one of the screen in the above video, there was a line that said "Going Rogue Closed Beta start next week for Family and Friends." How can GR go into closed beta next week when we are still in i17 closed beta? |
However, IIRC, there's also an in-house (or in-house-like) server that only the Devs have access to, where they do their initial testing. It would make sense to me that this server is where the Friends & Family Closed Beta happens...

When I first heard of it, I assumed it was all lies.
I did the same when the Going Rogue website first went up, mind.
Ok, following up on that - the new zone events are the content that we do to unlock the Incarnate stuff - so it sounds like the endgame system will be played out in the current zones, rather than being part of any new endgame zone.

At this point, I'm imagining something like a combination of the "public quests" and mega-raids that (I'm told) exist in other MMO's. I can speak only for myself, but I'd much rather see that than something like a super-ITF, just because I like zone events.
However, and it's a very big "however," I question whether this is really a good way to gate rewards that everyone is certain to want. As it is, the smaller servers often have trouble mustering even a single full team to deal with such zone events as Rikti and zombie invasions, not to mention banner events. I hope the devs are observing populations and zone events on the smaller servers as well as Virtue and Freedom and realize that after the first couple of weeks of Going Rogue, the other servers are unlikely to be able to gather sufficient numbers to do this kind of open-world content.
Maybe the offhand reference to "for your alts" is meant to remedy this. For instance, Incarnate level 1, whatever it is, might be something unlocked for your level 50's account-wide once a single character has done it. I suppose the theory here is that if you want it, you can do the content on Virtue, then get the benefits everywhere.
We'll see!

Dispari has more than enough credability, and certainly doesn't need to borrow any from you.

A fun panel and a fun meet-n-greet. Based on the answers I received, I would not hold your breath for any new Strike Forces anytime soon....
Go Team Venture!

Side-switching and co-op content seem to be the main ways Villains will get more major content.

So, umm....
Positron confirmed, tonight, that I'm... well, an idiot.
Well, not in so many words. But he did say, "Someone started the rumor on the forums that all the War Walls are coming down. I was referring to Praetoria. It wouldn't make much sence to take the ones, currently in-game, down."

Yeah, when you listen to the video, he's totally talking about Praetoria - it was just misreported here

How can GR go into closed beta next week when we are still in i17 closed beta?
