Or at least Praet DE.

--edit2 --

Review of wiki says it was made by Rikti not found by rikti...so unless it was genetically engineered forma sample of PDE I am completely off target here.

Well, Battle Maiden is the end boss of the Apex TF, so she needs a battle-themed signature power to make her less of a push-over

Just something kinda wacky I noticed, apparently the Rikti costume only glows at night :3 It seems to be tied to the same code that dictates when the windows in buildings light up. Or something.

Yeah... I gotta make one now. If they can do the whole melodramatic over-the-top, all-it's-missing-is-Don-LaFontaine-doing-the-voiceover thing, I can, too.

I'm not sure how something that weak could terrorize a whole world

Yep, there was. Ran from 2:45 to 3:45 EST. The lack of forum and Twitter activity related to it suggests that nobody there was live-blogging it on a smartphone; guess we'll have to wait for those attending to get back to their hotel rooms before we hear anything. :/

Gotcha! I am sure they're enjoying other aspects of the Con as well. I just wasn't sure on the times etc.

I am curious to hear about what they are doing with the game for the next year or so. Also wondering if they might try another expansion box.

It's a small sample grown in a lab.

This is really all I want. Especially since the Massively.com article reporting a supposed timetable got yanked, causing me to question the validity of the information.

The Panel actually dropped a fair bit of new info - I'm uploading the video now, but it'll take a while at 3GB. I also have to test the sound quality.

Couple things I remember off the top of my head:

- besides the two TFs and extra alignment missions, there's a new hero and a new villain story arc in I19. The hero one has to do with investigating the medical transporters and why they aren't handed out to civilians, and the villain one has to do with finding out what exactly the Leviathan is and what its power source is. They didn't reveal the level range on those.

- plus plus, there are new 20-29 arcs for Praetorians to do in Paragon/Rogue Isles that continue the story of what they're doing there.

- all new NPC groups' costumes will be given to us in each issue - they showed a screenshot of a new group in I19 that looked pretty awesome, and we'll be getting that set.

- we'll be able to log out to character list in I19

- the rewards for the new zone events will scale according to your participation, and there will be actual good rewards for participating rather than just badges.

I'll remember more as I'm reviewing the video, probably.

That's panning out pretty much the way a lot of us were guessing during the GR closed beta - it seems like they're going to keep the content gap in Praetoria, with new Praetorian zones being at a higher level - like 35+ for example.

And now that the war has started, there's lots of scope for Tyrant to send his followers to Primal Earth to spy and carry out sabotage.

EDIT: I think they might ned to rewrite the Paretorian exit missions a bit - it seems kinda pointless to be sent to try and stop a war that's already started now

I've never uploaded such a large video to Youtube before.

135 min. remaining on Part 1 of 4.

But I'll post here when I have links.

That's actually a nice way of doing it- it allows you to keep the feeling of being a Praetorian while still interacting with the whole game...

And the Logout feature? YES!!!

Sounds like theres a GOOD chuck of content in I19- waiting for the inevitable "but it's not for 50s" whine to start in.. 5....4...3...
