Scooped!

I agree with the sentiment in either case, that this could very well be the preliminary stages of The Coming Storm. I doubt we'll see that in full-fledged glory until the Praetoria story-line is over and done with... UNLESS they plan on putting that on pause and using the Coming Storm as a vehicle to release the next wave of Incarnate content...
The impression I got from Arcanaville's post was that the Coming Storm is just the meteor shower. That everyone has been blowing out of proportion or something. Or that it's not a signal of something to come, it is whatever is going to come. I kinda don't see the Coming Storm being as big a deal as it has been alluded to in-game though.

Yeah - they've discussed this on UStream - it's not some major invasion event

I was implying that The Coming Storm might have been named after the event that triggers it, which might have been a coming storm: in this case a meteor storm. The newspaper article has a picture of a really big rock and talks about something passing close to Earth, but meteor showers are neither of those things. So a meteor shower was explicitly written into the article for a very specific reason.

Some people are making the leap to say that the meteor shower might be a sign the Coming Storm is approaching; some are even thinking in terms of mechanics, that maybe the meteors are a repeat of the meteor in the Ouroboros mission. But I haven't seen anyone yet explicitly make the connection that maybe The Coming Storm is a giant sequence of events that is known as the Coming Storm because it was heralded by a literal coming storm. I specifically quoted Dollymistress because it seemed, at least to me, that she had brushed up against the idea without actually stating it directly.

Prophesies often work that way: with riddles and wordplay.

I can see it now, glowie trash piles all over GC. You get the "Mr. Clean" badge after you've picked up 1000 pieces of garbage.
IIRC there's a TIMED mission where you have to zip through the zone going through glowing trash. Don't remember contact or if it gave a badge (probably not).

Becken, as in "to Beckon" or to call over for interest, maybe.

How about just " rough landing "? As in it may be a cover for the landing of something other than meteors. I just don't think it is an anagram

Facebook/Twitter is the new avenue of player interaction that the CS team is pursuing. You're going to have to get used to information not being released on the forums. I tried fighting for something otherwise, but like so many times before, I was told "too bad".

So, my comment was actually completely relevant to your post.

And since I'll be gone next week, I doubt you'll get a chance.

I get the idea of doing "in charicter" announcements of upcoming developments... but this one was way to vague and uninformative to make me at all excited.


I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.

Tune in tomorrow when Zwillinger will be announcing where everyone should gather in Galaxy City to get their temporary broom power.

This makes a lot more sense now.


The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

So? Just imagine the new one. Just remember to warn the kid scout about the new magic Praetorian Loincloths.
