Divine secrets and mysteries of Pratoria: A guide to things to come.

Ok, so that total is a bit much. But while wandering around Pratoria I’ve noticed a few things that I have seen little or no mention of. That gives hints and clues to things that might be things not yet released. So I’m creating this thread to discuss just that.

What if found is as fallows.
We have the ever requested holsters not only for decoration but also being drawn from.

The equally requested long hair and while it's hard to tell in my screen shots it even flows and moves the capes. (Kind of hoping they'll tweak it a little better than that.)

There are 3 sizes of Pratoren clockwork and 3 sizes of Failed Experiments And each has upgraded versions of them. Imperial Defense Force version for the Praetorian clockwork version and Improved Type for Failed Experiments. Suggesting new MM ATs.

And many of the Praetorian enemies use attacks with force or plasma in there name suggesting more new ATs or even a Praetorian EAT.

There seems to be a significant similarity to the images of the Praetorian hammy and the tentacles found in the water around the ruined Oroborus in the Mender Ramiel (alpha unlocking) arks first mission.

That one actually has been in since City of Villains, used by the Primal version of Belladonna Vetrano (Ghost Widow). From my understanding, the hair actually is just a fancy cape. So, not really an indication that they're working on it, since it's been in the game since Issue 6.

The gun holsters thing is interesting, though. I hadn't noticed that.

I want both the holsters and the hair.

I20 could turn out to be very interesting.

The Pred Hami thing was talked about for a bit but even that may be nothing more than a red herring (and is IMO).

notice how her hair is even LONGER in Praetoria.
Part of me suspects the Devs added an inch her hair for every time someone asked for animated hair.

It would have to be per person asking and not per request or her hair would either trail off the map or fill any room she's in. (There's a forum regular with a bit of a fetish about animated hair.)


Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

They must have GG on ignore then, or it would have been miles long.

As for the holster thing, I really hope they implement that and other leg accessory options eventually. I could see issues with certain animations considering how it is that you have to go about rigging things on the legs... but they've already proven to me that they don't care about that kind of stuff with Ninja Run's animation.

Hami was confirmed to be in Praetoria by Noble Savage. There have been sighting of tentacles over the sonic fences.

As for hostlers, Oh, we noticed them!

Unique NPC costume parts are unique NPC costume parts. I don't expect to see any of them available for players, ever.

What I want to know about are the huge doors in the Four Gables district of Imperial City, you can see them when you swim around the island.

Multiple fancy capes. And considering the devs do everything in their power to prevent players from having more than one cape system at a time, I don't see us getting it for ourselves.

My Thugs/Dark MM managed to get a Fringe Cape/Magic Bolero combo before they closed that loophole up. If I ever try to change that costume slot, I'll lose it.

@Doctor Gemini

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.

Because she can't grow her own hair out that long until they get it in the game?

Moving hair is one of her superpowers?

Well I imagine if there was a mass of hair threatening a city with destruction it'd be pretty cool to have someone who'd be able to move it somewhere else so that it would no longer be a threat.

Maybe a good shampoo and style would fix that?

Well, it *needs* to be 255 red so that we know how angry she is. Otherwise we might just think she's constipated of something.

It's not red because she's a villain?
