That's both selling yourself short AND damning yourself with faint praise.

A six year old could have made a better deal than Cole. YOU would have made the Hamidon go sit in a corner and cry.

Maybe. But I think (perhaps naively) that that might subside with the war being over.

What was the deal, exactly?

Yes they will. The powers, at least, I don't know about the pets. Probably.

I would say probably not because nothing has been mentioned about MM Henchmen being color tintable. I could be wrong though.

Cole gets to pretend that he drove back the Hamidon, while the Hamidon gets 99.9997% of the Earth. The remaining 0.0003% would be run by Cole, and be used to churn out delicious human-meats for Hami to nom whenever he gets hungry.

Actually, Hamidon would not destroy humanity as long as Cole didn't start any wars, I think.

Which is funny when you think about it because Hamidon was stirred by the war against Primal Earth, not the attacks by the Resistance, Cole's attempts to put down said Resistance, etc.

But surely in a mirror dimension it would already have been a well-made, high-quality popular series?

That the Hamidon would give Tyrant a chance to prove that humans could be made "better" - so Tyrant made sure that all the humans he ruled were made "better" by stripping them of their humanity.
Once Primal Earth came into contact with Praetoria, Tyrant was afraid that the actions of the Primal humans would make the Hamidon realize than humanity couldn't be made "better", and so it'd break off it's truce.
Tyrant planned on launching a very quick war of conquest to wipe out the superpowered people on Primal Earth, and open up a new world that was free from the Hamidon.
When the invasion failed, the Hamdion saw that humans were as warlike and destructive as ever, and that Tyrant had failed to keep his end of the deal, so it summoned the Devouring Earth to launch a final attack on Praetoria City to wipe out humanity once and for all.

Interestingly, at no stage did Tyrant ever consider asking Primal Earth for help against the Hamidon, or asking them if they could help him evacuate the reamining Praetorian people to Primal Earth.

I think it is a reasonably good addition, especially for Dual Pistols Blasters. Now all your Kunasagi and Hit Girl fantasies can be realized.

i figured it was possible in the same way that controller/dominator pets are, since the patron pets resemble them a LOT more than MM pets...

O_O

:edit: they are color tintable in the AE so it's possible, and they really are more like controller pets than MM pets... and they keep saying "patron pool" and dont say "the pool except the pet" soooo SIGNS POINT TO YES! if i am able to have a white Mu Guardian.... i just might pass out of happiness ^_^

That would be out of character, as its clear Cole believes in his utopia. He never once, not even in his personal story, expressed regret for the price the Hamidon deal extracted. I believe Cole preferred Praetoria over how it used to be. Primal Earth is just a reflection of the messy past of Praetorian Earth, and not something Cole would ever want to return to.

The Magisterium trial makes it clear that Cole feels death is a better fate for his people than being forced to surrender to Primal Earth. If he's willing to kill his people to fight off Primal Earth, he's also going to be likely to consider death to Hamidon preferrable to surrender to Primal Earth.

Well, Controllers and Dominators can tint their pets.

THIS.
I think they will release NA in august.
Then Bio armor in september.

Then within the timeframe of I24, they will release Psi melee and more...

Even before GR came out that whole thing was thrown out the window as far as I'm concerned. As I've said before time progression by player level stop being accurate years ago.

As I understand it the timeline goes roughly:

Low level older content-> High level older content -> Low level newer content -> High level newer content (unless the story arc explicitly states otherwise, see Montegue's arc.)

Of course, since this is an MMO and you can quite literally do something like the RWZ storyline then run over to one of the older story arcs where you discover that Rikti is people after its been an established fact that of course Rikti is people, it takes some mental gymnastics to give your character a coherent story.


Current Published Arcs
#1 "Too Drunk to be Alcoholic" Arc #48942
#2 "To Slay Sleeping Dragons" Arc #111486
#3 "Stop Calling Me"

That was my point

Eh, well, they do scale all the way up to level 50. *Shrug.* That said, it is rather odd they start at 30 as that's indeed when the very recently added Night Ward starts. Not to mention that the Emperor's Sword story arc is an Incarnate arc and shows Praetoria burning before the evacuation.

Oy. What a tangled mess.
