No news yet. Yes, the date is about two weeks off.
I know that it's not a "milestone" in that it's not a game anniversary--but 75 months sounds pretty impressive. Of course, I'd much rather they add a "100th Anniversary Badge" rather than the inevitable letdowns of 99 and 102 months.

Quote:Considering that it was originally settled by French emigres, and later moved to English-only with the influx of people (and languages) from all backgrounds, I've always expected the Etoile language to be one of English with a Etoile-specific accent and a sprinkling of native Etoile-specific words. I often think of African English.Originally Posted by BlueBattler
3. From the billboards I'm assuming that English is the official language of the Rogue Isles, but what would a native sound like to us? I.e., British, American English, Australian ... given its origins, do they use "arrrr" a lot?

The EU store? Or were you able to find an NA store?

Gratz, Bill! What's your next project?

We need to get Vangelus in here--he's been rocking it with Shinsektor since '04. The VV link is probably old, but smexy never goes out of style.

PM Avatea and see what she says.
You may find it wise to change your name to something unrelated to any of your characters, or something you are better known by, though. What happens if you decide to roll a new character? -

For what it's worth, an announcement is up on the main cityofheroes.com page.

One of the first fan-made CoX videos was by a SG called "The Trimmers," and it was done entirely to the tune of the Beastie Boys' song "Sabotage." I must've watched it a hundred times. Because of that, that song always makes me picture a bunch of people in business suits beating up Rikti.

Not being in the park by myself would be draw enough for me--now you tell me the green imp and the grumpy goat will be there with friends? How can I hope to resist?

Quote:I know you can order the Complete Collection in advance from many places, but I didn't know that they took your $40 right then and there. I thought they did it when it shipped. Sorry.Originally Posted by Another_Fan
40 is the prebuy for the complete collection.

Darn shame really, if anything else gets pushed back due to "balancing" or "not meeting standards" I'll feel ripped off of my 40 bucks I could have used for something else.

Judging by the title, I actually thought this was another Rookery thread.

Happy Birthday, old lady.

Let's take bets on how long it takes for there to be an official press release/Announcements post about this, if any.

Lets stop the attempts at revisionist history right now. The first level of the incarnates system was pushed by the devs as being in GR before the prepurchase thing came up. Pointing at one or two things that doesn't include this information doesn't change that fact. The very fact that positron started this post saying he was pulling the system from GR, and this isn't the beta forums, clearly demonstrates that it was a known fact this system was going to be in GR.Quote:Originally Posted by Frosticus
Indeed. I'd say this is pretty concrete evidence supporting the fact that it was expected for some time to be included:Quote:Originally Posted by Snow Globe

I don't like it either, but I'm not going to trot out the old "SLAP IN THE FACE" that some people have. To suggest that it was a deliberate maneuver, or that there has been some manner of criminal bait-and-switch pulled, is ludicrous. It was an extra feature that we were looking forward to. It still is. If the Incarnate sneak peek was the ONLY reason you bought GR in advance, and you haven't ONCE played DS or DP, well then you have my condolences.
Also: revisionist history? Really? -

I'd have rather had my question answered, but this will make a decent consolation prize for it not being answered.
I'll likely try it out but I'm not sure if I'll keep it. I'm not big on fancy keyboards or mice.

For the last several updates, Manti has had Avatea simply edit the last post. I just check it out every so many weeks and clap my hands every time there is an update. Sometimes it's hard to tell where the old stuff stops and the new stuff begins, but most recently:
Quote:That Consigliere question was only just recently asked. Cool beans.Question: How old is Miss Liberty, Ms. Liberty's mother?
Answer: Miss Liberty aka Alexis Cole was born July 14, 1939. She inherited her fathers slow aging granted by his exposure to the Well of the Furies and because of that appears decades younger than her actual age.
Question: How do the Consiglieres of the Family receive their gravity powers?
Answer: Over the years the Family has done a great deal of experimentation with Superadine. At a great cost they have been able to create small batches of the drug that eliminate unfortunate side effects produced by long term usage. They have also been able to create variations that grant a very specific subset of powers. These successful refinements are not known outside the upper circles of the Family. One such variation has allowed the Family to tailor the abilities of their Consigliere, providing their chief advisors all the power needed to back up their words of wisdom.
Question: Is the Lord of Frosts involved with the Winter events in any way?
Answer: The Lord of Frosts was the primary avatar of the ancient being of power known as the Winter Lord. After he finally killed Captain Volcano (who was himself an avatar of the Summer Lord) the Lord of Frosts was recalled to the Winter Lords frozen realm. So far during the recent winter assaults on Paragon City only minor avatars of the Winter Lord have appeared but much like any vanished villain, the Lord of Frosts could return someday to carry the Winter Lords banner of enmity against humanity.
Question: Are Janet Kellum the contact and Valerie Kellum the woman who became Valkyrie related?
Answer: Janet and Valerie are sisters. Their careers as an FBSA agent and archeologist took them in radically different directions. Since Valerie was injected with nanites when Crey tried to steal her greatest discovery, the two sisters have become reunited in one cause: taking down Crey. Janets love of her sister has motivated her to help the heroes of Paragon City in their attempts to finally bring Countess Crey to justice.
Question: What were Atlas Park and Galaxy City called before their names were changed to honor fallen heroes?
Answer: This has been answered elsewhere but one of the goals of this thread is to provide official and definitive answers about obscure or confusing points in the lore. Atlas Park used to be called City Park and Galaxy City was known as Paragon Heights Last edited by Avatea; 06-09-2010 at 06:03 PM.

This is incredibly LAME. Starting the incarnate thing was a huge selling point of GR for me. Pulling it out at this stage, after you used it to market GR, and after many players pre-purchased GR (including me), really pisses me off.
With respect, at no point in the GR features does it say anything about the Incarnate system:
I don't see Incarnates advertised anywhere.Quote:Features
