Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.
The tentacles that people are seeing don't have to be the Hamidon itself anyway. They could easily be some variety of Devouring Earth monster. It seems pretty clear that they are Devouring Earth though. I'm sure with more time to work, Hamidon's got more than just rather large rocks running around for him.

The tentacles, assuming they're actually in the game, could also be fakes operated by the State. Since they're conveniently inaccessible I'll believe they're part of a Praetorian Hamidon (or real at all) when and if we get to fight them.

Although, if I did defeat it, that might make Tyrant ragequit

Given that the biographies [appear to be] written for us, the players, instead of a character reading it, it seems pretty plain that they should be trusted.

It actually does look much more like the Hydra Tentacles you face in the Abandoned Sewer Trial and now in mission one of the Apex TF. Of course the Clockwork got a whole new look in Praetoria so who is to say the the DE couldn't have something similar... and I do seem to recall that there were some sort of DE tentacles located in some of the deep cracks located in Faultline. They looked a lot like Hydra tentacle beasts too but were definately Devouring earth. I wonder if this is something we can look forward to battling in the future though. We have been sort of promised more content in Praetoria and even content above level 20. |
Its a really cool picture and in future issues I'd love to see a zone similar to the Abyss and Hive where we could battle the Praetorian Hamidon just like we do in COH/COV now. If he has claws and tentacles instead of just looking like a giant advertisment for Jello .. FANTASTIC! Why is it any thread like this always manages to have one or two posters more interested in seeing if they can belittle someone than in just having fun?

They're not different -- at least, not yet (no revamp). If you do the new Tina McIntyre arc, you're sent to Praetoria outside the city and you fight DE. They look exactly the same as Primal DE.

They may not belong to any version of Hamidon, but unless the memory Mender Ramiel was carrying is a fake they are most assuredly real.

So Emperor Cole's propaganda machine not only involves flooding the airwaves with false information, drugging the populace to make them easier to control, and purposefully inciting conflict to get people to turn to his side, but also creating skyscraper sized robotic (or genetically engineered) tentacles and placing them in a wilderness filled with creatures that hate technology in any of its forms just to get people to believe that the Hamidon exists, which everyone does anyway, and LITERALLY BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL by manipulating his own bio just to throw off any hyperdimensional observers (A.K.A. the players).|

The tentacle may never spawn if you camp. If it's on the NPC variable pop-up algorithm, the presence of players makes it persistently there, or, persistently not there.
Best bet to see it spawn would be running in and out of draw distance.
Oh, next time, no screen caps... demorecord it.
