It has to be human, or at least more humanoid than the deformed Rikti. I mean, costume customization is one of the biggest features of the game, the devs know this. It wouldn't be possible with the Rikti without a bunch of exrra work. |

Logically, IDF and Seer ATs would be the analogues of the VEATs.
Perhaps a bit samey.

And don't get me started on the Lineage of War. They're so successful that they've failed. Twice. And they have the technological edge.
Sucks to be Rikti.
Kids today with their leet rikti speak. Back in my we didn't have any fancy VEATs, or any fancy IOs, all we had were SOs affected by ED and dag nabbit we loved it!

To get back to the topic of PRAETORIAN Epics before it was derailed.
Considering an AT with an Assault/Armor set as the Primary/Secondary has been suggested before, I think it would work well for a Syndicate AT, their SMG/DB combo attack set would work well for an Assault set, and they could even branch out into a Melee Oriented Sword Master or a Control Oriented Telekineticest

Syndicate can already be made in-game as it is, more so than pretty much any other enemy group. They are also the most boring.|

That, and any future Assault/Armour AT should most certainly not be as concept locked as an EAT. Being able to make a Fire Assault/Fire armour character, or Energy Assault/Invul, or a whole ATs worth of combos would be much, much more fun.
T'be honest, I don't see any of the current Praetorian stuff working much, except maybe some of the Clockwork variants. Maybe.
Then again, my views on what should, IMO, be the next EAT are already well known, and im sticking to them.

By that logic, Rikti can also already be made as is. They're just missing costume options. You've already got broadsword and psionic blasting fun, and the options to unlock the rikti weapons.

And part of what makes epics epics is the story, however loose or tight it is. Hopefully whatever they do make has a better story than the soldiers and widows do at the end.

If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

No, not that exact combo, but I'd say it's close enough with patron powers.|

I think the rikti are far overdone storywise and need to make way for something new, unless they just start raining down hypnotoads.
I'd love to see a PPD PEAT,on the same way as the SOAs, like PPD and Seer(loyalist-only)or Heavy Hands and Ghoul/Hamidon (Resistance Only)
Check out all of Noble Savage's Art threads! All things art, Super Boosters, 'Lost' Costume Pieces, Buildings, Animations, and NPC Costume Piece Conversion
Hopefully when the zone has more content additional foes/npc's will become available with the intention of allowing PEATs.
While a Rikti EAT (REAT?) would be fun, as they are not side-specific they should not be added as PEATS but rather for some other reason (Rikti Expansion/Booster pack, Additional Invasion Issue [i25 - They're Baaaaack with a Vengance]?).
Anybody remember the old mention of that Egyptian EAT concept?
What if that happened in Praetoria's history, and Hamidon upset some Egyptian tomb that was never touched on Primal Earth?
Egyptian EAT?
