    Well, you can DFB to 50 an then have Ramiel contact you as a suitable person to help save the multivese
    Plus, from what I've heard, the Vigilante and Rogue Tips and alignment missions have the player carrying out enough high profile acts that could easily attract the attention of gray contacts.
  2. SSA1 had 7 episodes, SSA2 will have 5 - the release schedule is based on roughly one episode a month, with a longer break between each series, so once SSA2 is finsihed, SSA3 is unlikely to start the following month.
  3. For the zones, Dark Astoria is now 50, but the old version of it, called an "echo", is able to be accessed via ouroboros.
    Kings Row and Brickstown are both getting complete mob spawn overhauls in Issue 24 - the Brickstown revamp doesn't change the range of the zone, but the Kings Row revamp has currently changed it to a 7-20 zone - although this could still be changed based on the beta feedback, especially regarding the starting level for the zone.

    I think that the warm tears of gratitude from the grays would have drowned out any complaints about more 20-30 content

    My guess is that they chose 30-40 to tie in with the 30-50 blue and red stuff in I24, and plan to release 20-30 and 40-50 gray arcs in the future.
  7. Combat upgrades and new game enhancements are always welcome.
  8. The I24 Incarnate arc contact comes pretty close to openly hero-worshipping us

    Like finding the Chosen One, discovering leaks is the will of the Force.

    It sounds like it's planned to release during the I24 development period, so anytime up until I25

    That's why I mean it's strange - players who want to play gray don't actuaƶyl get any gray content until 10 levels after they can switch - like a Vigilante at 20 finds that they're still either doing full-on Hero content, or now have access to full-on Villain content, while a Rogue at 20 discovers that they continue to have access to full-on Villain content, while now getting to play full-on Hero content - if the new gray arcs started at 20, Vigilantes and Rogues would get them as an instant unlock once they'd turned gray, which would flow much better - they'd see instant results for their actions.

    Strangely, it's been put in the 30-40 range, when starting at 20 would seem like a better match for the side switching sytem.

    Then don't just sit here weeping in General Discussion and passively waiting for the full horror of I24 to hit you - get on the beta server, play the arcs, and give feedback

    There could also be a "Hate Button" for everything post-Issue 17.

    I loved them - lots of depth, plenty of twists, turns and call backs to older content and lore, especially the 1-20 Praetorian content, interesting characters and situations, some suitable closure and some new plot hooks, and some very cool cutscenes.

    That's because he was kept under control - this wasn't one of his vanity projects where he has license to indulge his trademark "coolness" for a season before cancellation - it was a carefully planned operation that was the climax of several years of work from other directors and writers who had established the universe, situations and characters that the movie would use.
  17. I think there'll be more hot, salty tears of rage after I24

  19. One of the things thast gives the impression of the skyscrapers being further part than they really are is the city architects' apparent love afair with overhangs - the footprint of almost every tall building is quite a bit smaller than the actual width of the rest of the building, creating wider ground level spaces than the air spaces.

    He's just making more meme images.
  21. Kings Row and Brickstown are both missing the upgraded tress, rocks and grass that DA got - those make a big difference to the look of an old zone.

    Lies! ...?

    330 fat mbs of leet content.
  23. Expanding the personal story missions to non-Incarnate content is a great move.
