Uhhh. What is the differencein that RAZER UI?
It is organized the same way the buttons on the Razer Naga are laid out, with 11 and 12 being the page turn buttons. I like it. Will be redoing my button setup to take advantage of this.

Good to know they are already talking new zones for Preatoria. That 1 - 20 levels is going to get real crowded, really quick.

Anybody got those videos mirrored? Oh well, I guess I'll at least see the launch video tomorrow.

Endgame System/Content and Power Pool Customization would probably be what I'd peg as two top contenders for development time (If I had magic control over WW... which I might... If I can remember the last few lines of that spell... hmmm...) |
But if it's really something that's only being talked about as a possibility at this point, then yeah maybe we need to convince them that it's something that should be moved up the list.
The power customization system is NOT complete without pool customization.
Very interested to hear about the next booster(s). Not even gonna try to guess what they'll be, I'm not going down that road again.
And the Praetorian GM... Praet Hami maybe? Or Cole himself?

If you are just going to pack it full of new characters, may as well start with a blank slate.

If I were setting up a superhero RPG today I would utterly forbid, as a matter of the setting's metaphysics, all parallel worlds and time travel. They're more trouble than they're worth in terms of consistency and implications, and they're really only used as a shortcut.

Her bio from just before launch.
A clarification (later partially de-retconned when her original first name was reasserted by the Freedom Phalanx book) by Manticore.
The moment of realization of the squick factor, from the implications of the Web of Arachnos story.
There are two possibilities here.
In one, Ms. Liberty was always meant to be Statesman's granddaughter, but it was a big secret that was meant to be a reveal for when Recluse was introduced, in order to give Statesman and Recluse some personal connection, but her backstory got complicated by, for whatever reason, the level 45-50 mission writers apparently not knowing what really should have been in the vaunted Story Bible, or just not paying attention to it.
In the other, Ms. Liberty was meant to be the heir to a dynasty of patriotic female heroes who had merely been Statesman's sidekicks over the decades, but someone caught onto the names used for older members of that line and decided that they would be great to use for Statesman's wife/Recluse's sister and her descendants by Statesman. The transitive property made Ms. Liberty Statesman's granddaughter, which was fine, but it continued on to make Dominatrix Tyrant's granddaughter, which is so far beyond fine that you can't see fine from there.
Both are possible. Both require people writing over established canon. Both require people not really thinking things through with the threads that are still there from what is arguably the story that most defines the final tier of a Hero in Paragon's career, where you rescue the biggest name there is, cementing your place among the legends of the city. In short, both have a stink of unprofessional behavior for a writer.

The main thing, as far as we know, holding up Power pool customization is coding time - the interface needs to deal with add OR subtract the needed info to the character, as well as manipulating them. Do you choose when you gain the power? You don't have them at creation. Do you force them to go to the tailor?|

LOL @ Manticore trying to jump through the retcon created hoops in those topics.
Just admitting it's a retcon, which is entirely in genre, would be far more effective.
He also says that Requiem was a council spy in the 5th. I think that every time he gets a role in game there's some retcon involved. Requiem's been the leader of them, a spy working in the 5th, a spy working in the Council, the Nictus representative, a roman collaborator, the last stand against the council, and now he's sort of nothing with Reichsman around. At this point the best thing they could do with Requiem is make him some sort of retcon running in-joke.
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

EDIT: Especially if Prime Earth Arachnos infiltrators are responsible for bringing him back.
All that is planned fails. All that is born dies.
All that is built crumbles. This will always be true.
But memories remain, And that is beautiful.
I like the idea of him having a son who's out for revenge againt Tyrant for murdering his father

And I assume this probably isn't planned - I'd love to be able to keep a Praetorian in Praetoria for the entire life cycle of 1-50. So if we ever got zones from 20-30 along with their plans for 30-50, that'd be epic.
Of course this would mean we need things like cape missions, costume slot missions and hopefully some form of salvage turn in for an extra costume slot. Probably some other stuff I'm not thinking of too. And yes I know about zombies, Primal Earth salvage turn ins, etc. so hopefully an alternate system with alternate salvage could be devised (tho I wouldn't care if it wasn't - just want the extra slot ).
