Quote:Actually, the word that they meant to write there was "wont" - so it's possible a limited spellchecker might change it to "want".Originally Posted by GuyPerfect
You mean as they are meant to do? Or maybe as they are wanting to do, which doesn't make a lot of sense but is grammatically correct? "They are want"? What the crap? How do you do that even by accident? I am loathe to see such a pathetic error get published. -

Primal heroes have no business in First Ward. We're recruited to help the poor people of First Ward but the majority of what we see out there has nothing to do with protecting the innocent and more to do with facing whatever foe is causing trouble next.

Interestingly, they're opening up quite a few new development tools in I24, so they might get the ability to phase older NPCs more easily.

I also would have preferred some form of end to the story for non-VIPs as well.

Quote:The theme and feel is still the same - we fight Tyrant's D.U.ST. stormtroopers who like to use the citizens of FW for live fire exercises, and the loyalists responsibility contatc Mother Mayhem also plays a majopr role in the problems we face in FW - plus, there's a side order of Crusader smacking, just to reinforce that there's only one real path through the Praetorian content - the Warden/Hero path, that feeds in perfectly to the Trials where the Crusader faction of the Resistance are pushed aside, and the loyalists are routed and crushed in the war of liberation that Primal Earth wages against them and their evil emperor.Originally Posted by T_Immortalus
No, that's the same "general modus operandi", not a continuation of story.
Yes, they are like the Wardens, but they pretty much forget you are one of their Warden buddies. -
Quote:Who are run by the leader of the Resistance, who's also a Warden.Originally Posted by Agent White
Afterward I'd call it neutral and more closely aligned with the Carnival of Light than anything.
Noble Savage is a Warden too, and he runs the security of the compound after the Crusader who held the post is removed.
Resistance fighters around the compound also have non-aggressive coding, and the Resistance contact Roadflare also lives at the compound, and, according to his bio:
The delusion that FW isn't a Resistance themed zone is just stiff-armer desperation.Quote:"Roadflare volunteered to serve in First Ward, where his unique blend of charisma and crazy would do well to recruit combatants for the Resistance. He's liked by a lot of the Last Worders because he stands up for them against the Dregs and D.U.S.T. He's best known for his catchy 'hate anthems', which are popular amongst First Ward's denizens due to their anti-Cole nature. -
Quote:While they're awesome, they're also deliberately left unfinished, with players being kept from smashing the dictatorship and bringing the Praetors to justice - the 1-20 stories lay the groundwork for the Incarnate Trials, which provide the resolution to the storyline, where all the loyalist AVs and their evil empire that we couldn't defeat in GR are finally brought crashing down.Originally Posted by T_Immortalus
I rate Nova Praetoria, Imperial City and Neutropolis stories above all else in the game.
They were just cool. -
Quote:It ties into the Warden path - helping the Resistance fight the loyalists, but without blowing up stuf that doesn't need to be blown up.Originally Posted by Lazarillo
I generally agree. That's basically why, personally, I got so annoyed at First Ward (and why I'm utterly uninterested now in even trying Night Ward), too. Four different, separate arcs, separate viewpoints to see Praetoria. Then First Ward comes with one, that ties into none of them.

Quote:You mean even when his bio says:Originally Posted by Obscure Blade
No, it's pretty clear that he is actually unaware of a lot of what's going on.
And he himself says to the players:Quote:"Marchand's main goal is to ensure the peace and prosperity of Praetoria and is willing to get his hands dirty to do so."
So not only is he aware of what's going on, he's also taking part in it.Quote:"The one thing I seek, above all else, is the safety of Praetoria. Sometimes that means rather... extreme measures." -

Quote:But he also seemed totally unconcerned about the way the dictatorship was working - the reason he tried to go behind Tyrant's back was that he didn't want any of his IDF troops to be killed in the war - there wasn't even a hint anywhere in his text that he thought that the mass-murder, slavery, torture and brain-washing going on inside Praetoria was bad and should be stopped.Originally Posted by T_Immortalus
The undercover Warden arcs don't paint him in the best light(though certainly not bad) given the fact that he wants you to save copies of ghoul control implant for seers data.
He does agree that the war shouldn't have happened though, even helping to make it happen in Warden undercover arcs.
He would be a believable choice, having run the arcs.
As one of the longest-serving members of the loyalist dictatorship, he'd have seen all the crimes committed by it - but didn't seem to care until the lives of the soldiers under his command were going to be under risk in a real war. -

Really, after i23, I don't think there's much reason to raise my hopes any higher than that.

Cross-server teaming would hopefully just be a step towards a serverless environment.

First Ward works best story-wise as a Warden or a Primal Hero - just like all Praetorian content
-
I already mentioned this a couple of weeks ago

His biggest problem will be trying to explain why he waited so long before joining the Resistance - the last minute side switchers who turned to the good side only when the dictatorship was collapsing mightn't have as much popularity with the people as the ones who risked their lives to take on the dictatorship at the height of its power.
Plus, as one of the oldest members of the loyalist dictatorship, he'll be guility of a lot of crimes against humanity - he even admits that the "safety" of Praetoria sometimes requires "extreme measures" - so he's fully aware of what the government he served had been up to - and that mightn't go down well with the people he was helping to oppress until very recently.
