Golden Girl

The "do you want" bit might be better as "you will", and drop the "?"

The lining of my cape is pure white, and the rubble wasn't caused by us

Or were you referring to the gold stars?

That's his official title - it's not some self-appointed thing like "Lord" Nemesis or "Lord" Recluse

Night Ward should get you close to 40 - so there'd only need to be one more zone to make a 1-50 yellow side path - something featuring the DE would be ideal as a lead in to as a Trial against the Hamidon to finally confirm the freedom of Praetorian earth, and prove our total superiority over Tyrant to the Praetorians.
On the MoM Trial, Desdemona, Penny and Aurora all mention getting Praetoria to help Primal Earth against the Coming Storm, so I'm pretty sure that even with the new story focus in I25, Praetoria will still continue to play a part.

I think you'll find that we can, and do

That's one of the things that makes the Praetorian storyline so fulfilling and fun - it's a ginormous 1-50 arc, with a clear begnning, middle and end.

You've not tried the new Incarnate arc or the Magisterium Trial in the I23 beta yet, have you?

I won't give away any details, but I will say that of the 2 sides in GR, one of them ends I23 in a better position than the other

There are some semi-spoiler-ish pictures here from the end of the Trial:

I think that there's plenty of scope for stiff armers and anarchsits to carry on their evil antics after the war is over - but as Villains.

The thing is, normal NPC support for the dictatorship has been very obviously missing for a long time now - the only post-20 contacts we've had in Praetoria have all been Resistance or Resistance friendly, apart from Diabolique, who out to serve herself - the only post-20 PPD we've seen are ones who've joined the right side during the battle for Imeprial City - there are none supporting the dictatorship, not even during Tyrant's last stand, where he's described as being down to his last legion of IDF troops - so we've basically trashed his entire millitary force, and none of his security force sems to be helping him anymore.
We're also told that once the loyalist thought police were smashed in the MoM Trial, the citizens decided to flee the "utopia" of Nova Praetoria once they were free from the Seers.
Basically, all we've seen of the loyalists since level 20 have been war robots, jack booted DUST thugs using civilians for life fire exercises, genetically enhanced IDF troops and faceless Olympian Guard stormtroopers, with a variety of crazed Praetors thrown into the mix - and by the end of the Praetorian trials, all of those are gone, so it's hard to see how any stiff armers could hope to preserve their evil system when it's been so totally wrecked by the Primal Earth liberators and their Resistance allies - we've not been shown any even semi-normal people siding with Tyrant and his loyalists, so it's hard to see where any of the heil brigade would be able to form enough support to challenge the new reality of a free Praetoria.

I need a Shag and Shy mash-up to get a hairstyle more like my real one, a square necked tights option that either uses refined geometry or normal mapping trickery to give a more realistic bust shape with proper cleavage and stretchiness across the front, and a tights texture that actually looked like spandex with seams and edges, instead of looking painted on, and which would allow for a proper white color instead of a the semi-transparent way white white shows up on tights.

Separate fingers are optional

It'd be kinda pointless to keep the Resistance and loyalist dynamics when the situation that caused them is now gone - Praetoria is free now, and there's no need for resistance to an evil system, or loyalty to it.
Currently, all Restance members are flagged as Heroes, and all loyalists are flagged as Vilalins, so what they could do would be to convert them "officially" to Heroes and Villains after their final Praetorian arc.
Or as an alternative, they could convert all Resistance members into Vigilantes, and all loyalists into Rogues, giving every Praetorian access to both sides of the main game once they hit 50.
They could also possibly have a final moral choice arc dealing with the aftermath of the fall fo the dictatorship that would be open to all Paretorians, and at the end of it, they could decide if they wanted to be hero or a Villain - like Resistance Crusaders might decide that they wanted to continue their anarchist antics, and devolve into a Praetorian version of the Freakshow - or loyalists might decide to follow the example of Provost Marchand and other former loyalsits who switfhed sides during the final battle for Praetoria.

I'd certainly like to see a 40-50 Praetorian zone for the DE as a set up for a Praetorian Hamidon Trial - but like Nova Praetoria, Imperial City, Neutropolis, First Ward and Night Ward, the Resistance path would be the only fulfilling one, as it feeds directly into the Trials - and the higher the level of Praetorian content, the closer it has to be tied in with the fall of the dictatorship.
That's always been the problem for loyalist content - they've been marked as losers since level 1 - the devs wrote the end of the story at the same time as they wrote the start, and they've been filling in the middle part ever since.

The Praetorian Underground made out of Oranbega maps?

That's because phase one of her plan went perfectly.

Actually, I think it's had a huge effect on them - they talk about how they used to travel thoguh spce with their "mother", listening to her "song" - which implies that Shiva was their Well - but once the "Dark Father" forced her to become his "bride", they could no longer hear her "song" - and as Wells are like the "soul" or life force of a species, that means that once Battalion consumed Shiva, the Shivans became a species without a soul or life force.
And that explains why they're so static - they can communicate with humans, but they've shown no interest in trying to form any kind of connection with the various groups in Bloody bay, or to try leaving the place - they just wander around, and attack anything that comes close to the meteor fragments, which are the only memory that have of their lost "Mother" and "soul" - they're a race with no drive or ambition, and they're also aware of it, but they can't seem to do anything about it - like all they have left is an endless sadness that they've lost their life force, which makes them one fo the msot tragic groups in the game.

Doesn't that apply to any armor short of like plate armor that covers your neck?
I was just meaning that although the idea of armored bikinis are dumb, I'd still pick one over a leather or cotton one, as it'd still give some protection.

You didn't really need the 3rd word there.

I thnik that it's more likely to be the Blockbuster Summer event buliding on the personal story mission and the new temp power tray tech to let us play as the characters in some of the popular CoHverse movies

I think they might just have upgraded it from an IO level threat to an Incarnate level threat

And thanks to the money he's forced us to spend in the Paragon Market, he's now sitting on crystal throne in one of his marble mansions, watching teams of Playboy models wash his fleet of gold-plated sports cars in champagne, while his brutal minions herd the weeping player-base from one soul-destorying Incarnate Trial to the next.

Going by the curren't log-in screen, they can't.

Does that Include the free-form power selection system avaiable to Incarnates?

They remain as part of the timeline.
