They've just uploaded a new picture on Facebook for us to add a caption too, but in the top right of the background is the "cover" for part 7 of WWD:






So, is it really Rularuu, or is it Darrin Wade starting to take control Rularuu's power?

Its Rularuu x) They've stated more and more recently they plan on expanding and doing something with the shards so with the story of DA and now this, it clearly is pointing to a shadow shard expansion.

But boy does he look p*****s

Looks like a Goatee to me...

Last I checked Rularuu didn't have one.

Unless it's evil mirror universe Rularuu.

Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer?

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

To get attention of course.

Charming! Would you say that to someone in real life?

As a non-facebook user this is news to me, I see they're continuing the trend of making the WWD splash screens hella sweet.

*shrug*

I would, if I perceived it to be true.

Since I don't know if GG uses her boobs to get attention in real life, I probably would not say it in this instance.

Yeah, this week is Beasts for MMs, next week is WWD #7.

Hopefully we'll finally get to fight the full sized version of Rularuu at least. Seeing that screenshot of him moving around in Steel and realizing that he's almost at the zone height limit all by himself just makes me sort of giddy. An actual GIANT Monster!

Maybe the cover will be literal this time, and he's so big that we have to fight him in space.

Don't get your hopes up. If you look closer, Rularuu has the same facial hair as Darrin Wade. So the screen could very well be metaphorical, suggesting that we fight Darrin Wade, who happens to be wielding a substantial amount of Rularuu's power.

I sincerely doubt players will be able to fight Rularuu himself until a number of issues from now, once a few more incarnate abilities are under out belts. That, unlike Praetor Keyes, would be a fight worthy of a league of Incarnates.

Ah, good catch. Thought Rularuu had a goatee himself, and then I slowly realized that didn't make much sense. I'll remain an optimist though and say it could just as easily go the other way, with Wade taking over Rularuu's physical form or something like that. Not likely, but heck, it'd be an awesome finale.

For the record and as long as we're taking metaphors literally, a skull-faced Manticore would be really cool. Just sayin'.

I really only have one major complaint after running the new SSA. In the final fight, no matter what angle I tried or how close I got (even when flying) every melee attack I tried gave the message out of range. Good thing I had nemesis staff, blackwand, and ranged Lore pets to help. Bug report filed, but it would be nice if the melee range on him can be adjusted for characters who may buy this from the store and not have access to the temp powers and incarnate pets.

Tell you what, toss in a moon zone and we can call it even.

----SPOILER ALERT!-----




Incarnates in Spaaace!


So seriously, freaking awesome chapter and a great finale to the first SSA Series..

I am digging that Rularuu played a role, and the ending with Wade seems to indicate future involvement with Rularuu. Maybe some of the other areas of the Shadow shard, previously mentioned only in pieces of the lore will show up as new zones?


Also the final battle stage, in space that island looked very moon like. The stars, the earth in the back ground... Seems like the first step towards a moon zone...

Which got me to thinking, the letter writer mentioned some space fleet coming called the Battalion, if they are in space, can we say moon zone?

So on the horizon, Rularuu, maybe update\expansion of the Shadow Shard, and Moon zone?

Also with all the animal stuff that's coming out, the recent release of the Muppet Movie, and the Moon zone, maybe we'll see a crossover and have SSA #2 Be all about Pigs in space?

Maybe that's a stretch but the rest seems feasible.

Either way, Chapter 7 of SSA#1 was freaking Epic!
