I think you'll find the Incarnate endgame system that unlocks at 50 will fill in plenty of gaps

In the last set of interviews with War Witch she said that they are not adverse to doing new EATs but that they are not currently working on any. Like you I would like to see some more. However I think that there are plenty of options for EAts that don't involve Preatoria. However, I disagree with having them unlock at 50. The devs stated that was a mistake with the original EATs (a mistake they are now rectifying) and repeating that mistake with a new set of EATs would be silly.

The Clockwork are just begging to be an EAT. It hurts me every time I see them in a video.

Or "Owner" Just seems odd to hear a Rikti say "Belong To" I guess...

Hmm, true. But then again it risks losing the humour. I think they would allow a little human speak in, just to taunt them |

As mentioned, the devs said the 50 unlock was a mistake. I wouldn't expect anything else to take it as an unlock, especially with a new "endgame system" in the Incarnate levels.
As for Praetoria and Epics in general...
Epics are, by the dev definition, tied to a story. There are already several things - both hinted at in story and existing as hooks *in game* - that could really use the treatment. Having an Epic allows a more focused exploration of some specific element. (As far as the hooks in game - we still have the coralax and blood of the black stream (hooks - gadzul oil references, as well as the Eye of Horus by the tanker in Oakes) that seem to be in limbo.)
Now, admittedly others have been killed outright (avilans) but I'd really hate to see those others get left by the wayside. And I'd like to see at least one of them brought out before new concepts are introduced. Also, given what we know of Praetoria, I'm not completely sure what an Epic would be tied to and explore. Basically - we'd need to know a bit more before speculating or suggesting epics for that part of the game, IMHO.
Can you imagine how irritating it would be to have 50 levels of Rikti speech from one of your contacts?

Actually, that brings up an interesting point. By all accounts, Rikti speak is only in use when talking to humans. Rikti, to one another and according to canon, dont actaully talk. They have the sort of all connecting mental network. |

So it probably would not need to be all standard 'Rikti Speak', but True Rikti communication. Which'd be quite interesting.
When you think about it, there is a lot about the Rikti we dont know yet, which would tie in nicely with the point of an EAT.
That, and they have the option of being 'Hero' (Traditionalist) or 'Villain' (Restructurist/Lineage of War)

... except, of course, that they *do* everywhere we'd see it in game. They don't just do the Rikti-speak bit when they see your character or your team, but even when "talking" amongst themselves (for instance, RWZ, when you're sent to the Rogue Isles to save some civilians and disarm four bombs, they're talking to each other in the exact same way.) |

Which, of course, goes against them having their psychic friends network in the first place, but still.

I know, and it's one of the few things I dont like about the Rikti overhaul. Someone seems to have tried to make them a bit humerous somewhere along the line...which is kind of silly. It also goes against the canon, which is another no-no in my books.|

But people would probably complain for some reason, if there were silent mobs on things like 'Destroy Rikti Weapons under X Location' and missions like that.
Personally I think it adds to the threat, them only talking to humans when they have to, and the rest of the time working in unified, unnering silence.

Something came to my mind Yesterday, There be two worlds to travel to now, both Praetoria and Prime Earth. Kheldains and Arachnos Epic Arctype, They are prime Earth Epic Arctypes, as far as we no it there nothing for Praetoria Yet. There got to be a Yang for the Yin, So We got to have some new Arctypes for Praetoria. It will balance thing out, both for each world, New Arctypes unlock at 50 or whatever. So Derv come on Please please give us Some new Epic Arctypes. I no that the old Epic Arctype we have now are going be unlock for us at lvl 20 now, We could really need something to fill in the gap at lvl 50 now.
