...I really hope the dev's get a handle on T9 VIP releases soon.
We got Celestial in i21, September 13, 2011;
We got Fire & Ice in i21.5, January 10, 2012 - Almost 4 months later;
We're getting Mecha June 5, 2012, almost 5 months later.
See a pattern?

Yeah, you're getting exclusive access to a costume set before it rotates out in 9 months so no one can get it.

Yay, get Issue 23 out of the way so I can look forward to I24 and the new powersets coming. I23 doesn't interest me one bit. Trials/Incarnate stuff bore me, and a zone that will be a ghost town after a couple weeks isn't anything to be that excited about either. Think that's basically all this issue was, right?

Actually its less of a ghost town than before - most of those ghosts have sought shelter since Mott's Fruitsations took over.

So is there anything I should know about this issue that isn't in the features list on the wiki? Something, anything, worth re-upping for? >_>
No, I mean it. I'd really like a good excuse. But Second Ward and the Cole trial ain't much.

And if you count the beta period, then we've actually been waiting over 2 years for the fall of the loyalist dictatorship - so I23 is a big story moment in the history of the game.

Lost interest in I23. Its ready and kept from release. Meh.
Hybrid, 1 iTrial, 1 TF, 1 "new" zone. Chainmail and leather, but those without Black Knights armor are just textures.
Kinda weak Issue, kinda weak months for april and may when it comes to Paragon market releases. But its been only 3 months since I22.
As for Celestial, spent my first T9 Vip token on Fire and Ice.
Celestial will be out for sale for a cheaper price in the upcoming months, so I didnt wanted to spend 1 token if I cant unlock the whole costume set.
And not going to buy more points for extra tokens, havent bought a thing since Imperial Dynasti and Staff. Got 3000 PP waiting for something worthy.

Praetoria sort of ended up as a washout, and "these new alien invaders who are totally powerful n'stuff" just don't really excite me. I've given up expecting the game's story to win me back anyway, but the game aspect of it remains mostly solid...I just need something with a little more "oomph".

I think I24 will have a wrap for Praetoria.|

And I25 for 2013 with Battallion coming.

They've actually said I24 will be both. Battalion will be the 'star' but Praetoria will get some conlusion, apparently. It was in Positron's address for what's coming

Now you made me doubt.
The Battalion is in I25 - but it's quite possible that there could be some build up in I24

Ahh yeah looking back at his address he said 24 and 25. 24's content will involve some praetorian wrap up though

Based on the "nature" theme of a lot of the leaked powersets, I'm guessing that part of I24 deals with the fallout of Tyrant's fall. IE "Yay, we won!! Oh... now the more powerful Praet Hami doesn't have any restraints on it.... oh.... crap".|

I was originally thinking I24 would be us taking down Praet Hami, but based on Posi's comments at the summit I'm now thinking more a evacuation of as many survivors as we can while holding back Hami followed by a "sealing' of the dimension.
The Primalist AT that was leaked would fit a survivour that grew up in the wild wastelands outside Tyrant's haven. Water Blast and Nature Affinity would fit it as well.

It's one of the best and most impressive parts of the whole game - one huge story arc that goes from trying to turn in your Powers Division badge in the tutorial to smashing Tyrant into the dust in I23, using every game mechanic available to tell the story. |
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
Quote:
That is entirely a matter of opinion. It's grand and epic, yes. The best? That's debatable. Then again, compared to what passed for ongoing stories before? Yes. |

I still say Praetoria feels more like a grand experiment that didn't work out and is promptly being boxed up.
