I can't wait to see what the BAF raid is like - it sounds awesome

I volunteer Golden Girl for a stay at the Behavior Adjustment Facility. She's obviously a Resistance sympathizer.

I'd escape pretty eaisly - the BAF seems to be as easy-going security-wise as the Zig

Decent article overall. Pretty well written and informative on the background, without really telling us anything new.

Lore wise, it's said that WE help Rameil "Escape" the future.
Incarnate System wise, I learn that the system will work like it does in GW. I'm guessing then that you can't swap and change powers mid fight but instead have to prepare yourself b4 the encounter.
Great write up that, REALLY looking forward to it

I'd suggest that if the BAF requires raid-level amounts of Incarnate characters to pull off a successful breakout, you wouldn't be going anywhere any time soon. And it certainly is doing better than the Zig. Or is there an area of Praetoria I missed that just has BAF inmates walking freely around in the streets outside the facility, doing whatever they please?

The Zig would be a perfect setting for a raid! It's big enough. with the BAF getting a raid style, it would be pointless to have one on primal earth.
Prometheus: ... so what I told you was true, from a certain point of view.
Me: From a certain point of view?
Prometheus: You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on your point of view.
Me: You're right about that. Power Blast is very pretty from a certain point of view. But that point of view is not head-on. <Kaboom> - Arcanaville.

Plus, the new Maria Jenkins arc has shown that the BAF can't hold an Incarnate prisoner

A Zig raid could be doifferent from the BAF raid - for example, it could invovle an Arachnos Flyer, like the one that's on the Breakout map - and maybe some signatue Arachnos AVs too, along with some unique Villains who are being broken out.|

They could even have a red side version using an instanced raid map of the whole Zig area, where the object could be to break out your fellow villains.

Pretty sure there was a redside mission that had you do that. It was fun. Wouldn't mind that turning into a raid.

Not sure a TF involving breaking out or breaking someone else out of the BAF is really epic material. It's already pretty easy to get in and out of the island facility as is. Besides, it really is a little too similar to LR breaking the villains out of the Zig to feel original.
This BAF raid can be played from both sides, just like 2 of the 3 new Praetorian zone events - so you can also do it as a loyalist trying to stop the breakout.

And can you give us a link that actually shows what you just said and it isn't just conjecture based on the single fact that a BAF raid will come out?

Fat chance of that. GG likes to make broad statements that can be interpreted several ways on any given occasion but, she almost never seems to back them up. I will give her a little bit of credit, she is correct more often than simple luck would indicate, but such vague statements are generally pretty easy to interpret any way you want to make them true.|

Still though, this one is a little more specific than most, so it might be a leak from the last M&G. Either way, she won't be able to back it up and I'll wait and see what happens.
