    i started on coh, but i find the classes the huge difference, and true the brute is more like a "scrapper" but in the cov world, the brute = tank, you use the the same as a tank to pull aggro and keep the baddies of the more squishy teammates,, scrappers, you use the stalker as the resident scrapper.... the only real characters that are the same are the corrupter/blaster and the controller/umm.. i forget =/...

    Content is the only thing different in my eyes when it comes to the two games.
    there is no hero side masterminds or hero side soldiers of arachnos, also the inheret abilitys can make all the difference, for example a brute and a tank, they are pretty much the oposite of each other as far as powers, brutes have offense as thier primary and defence as thier secondary, tanks have defence and then offence, and stalkers have thier hide ability..... and i'm not interested in the other 2 >_>;

    For example, the Paretorian Clockwork King might still have been beaten up by an evil version of Blue Steel, but that wouldn't make him automatically a good guy - we might have missions where we have to decide which of two evil people to help, for example.
    Also, as far as we know, there isn't an heroic version of Lord Recluse - he was killed by Statesman after, or just before, they drunk from the Well of the Furies, which seems to be the point when the Praetorian timeline starts to split off form our timeline - so in our history, Statesman chose to use his powers for good, and so Recluse survives as the the main evil force in the world, but in the Praetorian timeline, Statesman chooses to use his powers for evil, killing Recluse and taking over the world.
    That brings up an interesting contrast - Statesman here chose to do the right thing, but that means there's more conflict in our world, but in the Praetorian Statesman chose to do the wrong thing, but that seems to have actually made his world more peaceful than ours.
    that makes sense....... i mean, dictatorships usually are the most peaceful societys, i mean take away free will and people have less to complain/ argue about....
    maybe in a sense lord recluse isn't evil after all, i mean he has the same goals as pratoria =o
    -gets off topic slightly- i want to be a war shade D=.
    another happy though, oroboros alters time/space continuem so thoreticly they could alter our timeline and as a result alter the pratorian timelime so that it matches our own...... o.o

    In Praetoria, you'll be able to play missions and arcs that will let you decide to change sides, so you can enter Praetoria as a villain, but through your actions there you can become a hero, and then you'd have access to the normal Paragon City, but the normal Rogue Isles would be closed off to you.
    ooohhhh!!! ok, makes sense.... i thought praetoria also had a rebel band of "good" people lead by the alternate lord recluse?
  5. i wish i was a squiddie =[ but the best i have is a lvl 30 defender =[ -tear- i don't even really like hero side at all anymore i've gotten so used to being a villian >_> so my defender never gets leveled coz non of the builds interest me except for the WS =3
  6. ok so here's a stupid question... going by the story i've read so far it seems to incorperate an alternate dimension where paragon city = villian territory and rogue islands = hero territory. as opose to any actually "switch" it's just a change of maps =/
    is this the case or is it actually possible for me to walk the original paragon city as an arachnos soilder with all the heroes, as opose to an entirely villian populated paragon city like the back story seems to alude to...
  7. ok, well just thought i'd ask anyway >_>
  8. i already said i tried that and it takes over a day to do Dx... and then it still doesn't finish it stops at like 95% and it's annoying =.='
  9. the tech support page says to delete the piggs file andt hen launch the updater and redownload all the pigg files, but this takes over a day to do =/ so that is why i asked if anybody had a spare pigg folder lying around >_>;
  10. i can't send mine because the file is to big for e-mailing =/

    and installing the game takes over 12+ hours due to really crappy interweb download speed (less then 256kbps )
  11. does anybody have an unedited pigg folder for download? or know where i can find one. my friend is having problems with the game ( and the solution calls for them deleteing the pigg folder and reinstalling it) but the reinstalling process isn't working. so i/we are trying to find a pigg folder she can use.
    i tried sending mine but it keeps failing.

    side note : this is not for any modding purposes or viewing, it is simple an attempt to resolve an installation issue.
