i agree that marauder seems like a really odd choice to appear in AP, praetorian penny yin or even dominatrix would make a better addition since praetorian penny joined our side from beginning and dominatrix defected before the fall of tyrant
without seeing more of the story and based on the past story it seems like a very odd choice to have marauder

Unless they plan to **** up the so-called leveling timeline even more, I doubt these "changes" will take place before the post-50 Incarnate content.

I think I'll withhold judgement until I find out just what they're up to on our side of the portal. Mission contacts? Intrigued. Trainers with a couple paragraphs of expository 'I'm a good guy now, really' dialogue? No, thanks.

Teasing us with that damned Knight Armor again. I WANT IT HNNNNNNNNGH.

And the new SSAs start at 30, but if you have to go strictly by level they'd all be 50+. Every 'new' event would have to be 50+ without going in and retconning stuff when you make lower level content.
Leveling as a timeline doesn't work if you can't progress the level cap, ever. |
I'm an avid story fan and I can tolerate an update to modernize parts of the setting as reflects the latest story. Something like this? Thrilled. I think it'll be awesome, they look great and I'm really curious what's going to happen and how they'll all function.
If this is just, like, one Incarnate arc that touches on the fate of the Praetorians, like the Emperor's Sword, that'll be awesome. But please please don't let them ruin any Primal zone with even more Prae nonsense. Especially if it'll be one of the zones the devs said they have their eyes on, Kings Row and IP. We do not need more Praetoria.

Interesting spot for the M-Dog. I really liked the way they revamped his character for i18...it's nice to see that he'll (hopefully) be getting a little more love.
| So, Marauder, Aurora Borealis, and Pendragon walk into Atlas Park... |
I could buy Marauder ending up redside. He's a lot smarter than he looks and has some pretty impressive organizational skills and an eye for talent. He's also a violent mass murdering psychopath in the same vein as the Humungous from Mad Max. He'd work out well in the Rogue Isles. Him ending up blueside... yeeeeah, not so much.
Do think Aurora Borealis's costume needs work. It's kind of all over the place.
For now, it's a screen with them standing there for the sake of standing there. I really doubt that Marauder is actually going to be the Atlas Park trainer, but with that said...
When are they going to pull the real BABs from his sulking spot in the east police station?
If Marauder is just standing around out in the open in a hero zone Im going to cancel my vip sub for at least one month and video me destroying my cov/coh discs in horrible ways and upload it onto youtube in a frothing rage.
They're in AP because they reached level 20.
or have a costume contest.
i wonder what the Isle is going to get
