    She's fine - it's nice to see her again after the RWZ - her static cameo at the end of the DA arcs doesn't count
  2. The past year has seen more free content consistently added to the game than at any other time.
  3. I wonder what sort of power changes would "blow our minds" in I25 if they have time to put them in?
  4. To avoid people confusing the accent text for typos, they should only include accents when there are words staring with "w" in the sentence that can be written as "v"

  6. All Skulls should use the Huge model, but each time we defeat one, there's a smaller one inside, and then a smaller one inside, and then a smaller one inside.

    Fascists and anarchists just aren't as appeailing to the majority of the player base, who like to play blue side

    Well, I didn't want to give him the impression that the devs might have added the largest every storyline to the game so far, with content covering all levels, and using normal story arcs, single player morality missions, personal story missions, Task Forces, Incarnate arcs and Incarnate Trials to tell an epic story of an inter-dimensional war, the liberation of an entire population from the grip of a fascist dictatorship planning to conquer the multiverse and the destruciton of a whole world.

    They've made a few tweaks to the original Praetorian content - there's a bit more of it now than just the Maria Jenkins and Tina Macintyre arcs.

    I think the Outcasts could use some more stories of redemption. It would be a nice counterpoint to the thoroughly evil Skulls and Hellions.
    None of that gets in the way of playing up their "elemental" theme

    As a long-standing VIP member, you should know that this has been the system that's been in place since Freedom went live
  14. GR made a few tweaks to the original Praetorian lore - most people seemed ok with that

    There are no Slavs living in Atlas Park?

  17. But the "recruiting from anywhere" theme is already part of the Hellions, Outcasts, Trolls and Warriors vibe - this revamp just shifts the Sklulls a little closer to the Tsoo and the Family, and adds another layer to the gang.

    The Trolls are also another of the reskinned Hellions gangs, but the green skin and distinctive way of speaking helps to make them feel a bit different - although they could do with a makeover too - probably something that'd emphasize the Norse stuff a bit more, to really like up to the Troll name - something like making newer/larger Supatrolls called Jotuns, and having new enemy types who are "berserkers" conststanly enraged by the effects of Superadine.
  18. A Devouring Earth revamp could use some of these powers, as well as Plant Control and Water Blast - the poor old DE were basically ahead of their time in 2004 :-p

    This will be a "rage over not having enough VIP ponts" week, rather than one of those "rage about not having anything new to spend VIP ponts on" weeks

    Is this a game or work?

    It helps to shift them away from being reskinned Hellions who swapped demons for death.
    That just leaves the Hellions and the Outcasts needing more done to separate them - the Hellions already have a pretty strong look and theme, so any revamp would be likely to expand on that - but the Outcasts are quite messy, with no defined look or theme, apart from being "outcasts", and a vague "elemental" vibe with their fire, ice, earth and electric powers.
    The Hellions could do with getting the newer versions of their current clothing, but the Outcasts need to go in another direction, and really play up their "elemental" theme.
  22. Atlas Park probably looks more like Perez Park right now

    It just meant that when they speak, their lips aren't in sync with the words.
