    I seem to remember something about the demons being elemental. Since the concept art all show them looking rather neutral I 'm guessing they'll be veritable elemental. Something like the ammo change with DP.

    Yes, it would have been sweet, but it does seem that the glowing “Tron-esque” armor is NPC specific. There could be a dozen reasons why it might not work as costume pieces – these things are always way more complicated on the back-end than you might think.

    That being said, your overwhelming response to the armor did not go unnoticed by the Devs, so they are definitely aware that if there is ever an opportunity to bring you costume pieces of this nature, you want them! I wouldn’t be surprised if the wheels in their heads are already turning. I’m not saying that anything will end up coming out of it, but our Devs tend to be pretty good at fleshing out all the possibilities.

    And by the way Jay, we don't have a basement.
    That douse bring up the question about not only what other costume peaces they will release with rouge and even if they will make resistance, vigilante booster packs.

    Clearly Superman has multiple costume slots.

    I know it's been said, but the costume creator is a huge draw for this game. It may not be a big draw for you; more power to you. There are parts of the game that don't interest me, but I don't begrudge upgrades to them if it pleases some part of the fanbase and/or draws in new players.
    Don't forget my favorite animated JLU time displaced post-apocalyptic mutant wolf hide barbarian outfit. :P

I only have 4 years in this game and couldn't go to the Con, so I'll have to wait till this wave to get into beta. I don't consider it major at all if I'm not much different than just about everyone else.


    Your mountain just got trampled by a fat mole.

    And learn to spell, please. It makes you sound more intelligent.

    Hows that? I payed for the monthes in question got the badge and am still not part of the beta I think your calculations have gone wrong somewhere.

    Really, the silence is deafening. I know you've got the first round of testers working and secretes are everything but give us a little something.
    The only way I know that they are doing anything is that I get major lag when ever they are loading things up on the back end.

    As of yet no one knows. There's a few theories going every which way.

    We'll just have to wait and see.
    Now that I think about it why hasn't anyone suggested gold/yellow as it's color. Thin we would have the 3 primary colors. Remember Rouge isn't going to be exclusively Pratorian it's meant to encompass the whole of the game. Pratoria is partly the 3rd new starting aria and an entire new world. Not some shadowy blend of the red and blue worlds. It's a forgoing or dropping of normal hero villain classifications replacing them with rebel or loyalist that are neither good or evil. Not a combination of the two.

But I can't do that via a power, I can't make the imp actually grow to be 400 foot, there's nothing to prevent me from doing that in an office map or while standing under an overpass, and there's nothing to fix the dozens of different problems that come from having a giant anything in the game...much less a giant something that's player controlled.

    Problems like what? Accidentally activating it in the elevator. Look it's tuna man. :P
    Make a great shield. Just block up the hallway with your corpse. Run out and eat hamadon.
    Still you could mock up something a little simpler if it weren't for the time limit on switching costumes.
  13. I still can't rap my head about why were bothering discussing merged markets. Since you'll have to be lvl X to go to leave Pratoria for ether of the blue or red zones assuming you ever wish to wouldn't there be a dedicated Pratoren red/blue market. We'd ether end up with 3 markets satisfying the need for both sides of the debate or one combined which I dought. If there were you'd, according to story cannon, be trading across dimensions.

    Reminds me of a story I herd resonantly about someone who, a long time ago, used to taunt every spawn in the hallows and eventually other arias and made them camp at the entrance. It was so game braking and frustrating to lower level caricatures that they had to set limits on how many mobs you could taunt at once. Don't know if it is true but it'd be funny if true. And a good reason why they will never have a taunt aura. Especially with the neutral class NPCs in rouge.

    Would you like to know why the Rikti are attacking Paragon Earth? It's explained in the RWZ arcs. Seriously, plain as the nose on your face. The final arc sums up everything.

    Don't pay attention to the storyline when in game? You can read the content of the storyarc I'm referring to here.

    But by all means, please continue to argue against established story canon just because you think your idea of the in-game story is better than what's actually there.

    Excuse me if I haven't run every freaking mission or memorized every bit of the storyline.
    I will say this when talking about alternate universes all bets are off. I'm not saying you’re wrong but all things being equal my theory could also be true. We have something like 4 or 5 different known universes here most human based. There could easy be a few dozen dimensions where my ideas are correct. But it doesn’t matter. NON of us have sufficient information to determine how it's going to work and it doesn’t really matter this is a game not the good word of you're divinity of choice. There's no reason to discount any possibilities. In the next issue Paragon could be attacked by Muppets for the Sesame Street dimension.
    Stop taking this so seriously man.

Also Rikti eating people? Never heard of it, would like to know where you got that info, plus they're from an alternate dimension themselves and have no beef with Praetorian Earth, so I doubt we'd see them.

    And as stated, Praetoria is NOT a mirror world, you have a very narrow view of things and you need to expand that. Things played out slightly different in Praetoria, little minor differences that led to major changes in how things turned out. Stefan Richter died at the well and Marcus Cole had certain things happen to him that gave him the same ideals as Statesman but also with a god complex that led him to take control and create what he thinks is a utopia where everyone is safe and protected as long as they obey the laws. Tyrant isn't EVIL, he's got the right idea but is going about it wrong, or maybe he's doing it the right way? That's the whole POINT to Going Rogue, the idea that just maybe the Praetorians AREN'T the bad guys, and that our world is the one that's really in the toilet. The fact that they're in opposition to our world doesn't make them automatically evil, just like I'm sure Belladonna Vetrano in the resistance in Praetoria won't be a shining beacon of virtue. She'll more than likely be the same trained assassin, just less dead and with a slightly more noble end to achieve, but I don't believe for one second she's above slitting someone's throat to achieve that end, even if she is on the "good" side. Don't be so black and white, it makes things terribly dull.
    You run the Pratoren AV ark lately. Be leave me at least as far as the people of our home dimension are concerned they are evil. Or at lest tushy freaking crazy. And the faction called the rebels agree with me. Remember one of the points of the game is that were free to make our own opinion of what is good or evil. Frankly I don't necessarily think even Lord Recluse is totally evil. Regardless of what you think of him his lands are thriving.
    At any rate this is a game just because they say something at a con doesn't mean that it's going to get into the game. I simply stated possibility. The alt version of lord recluse could still be around and they might just not want you to know about it yet. Like I sead "Unless you've see his dismembered decomposing corpse I wouldn't bank on him being dead." Could also be his son or daughter seeking revenge against Marcus Cole. Personal revenge could fit rouge status very easily. Isn't that the basis of the Punisher's background that was mentioned as an example of an anty-hero/rouge. You think I'm being black and white but you're thinking in so many absolutes there are no such thin in this or any other world.

    As for the riki thing it seams I got them mixed up with the Nictus. But the theory still stands there is no realy moral alignment for planetary conquest since we don't know there motives and there not from ether detention. Though I sort of like the idea of the Pratorenes invading there dimension and the reason there attacking ours is because they mistook it for theirs. Riki lord "Whopsy wrong dimension must have forget to carry the 2." :P (And I know the ailed riki would have dis proven this. IT's A JOKE.) X(
    Still the lack of war walls do suggest that if they are there there probably doing far better aginst them than we are.


    Oh and as far as markets are concerned if the game can be played with out going to hero or villain side thin there will probably be a pratoren market. Any reason not to combine them is probably both story wise and that would double the back end complexity of the system.

    Killed fufufu I get killed a half a dozen times a night. Granted there's no transporter system but we are taking about divine magic here. Unless you've see his dismembered decomposing corpse I wouldn't bank on him being dead. Alternatively who knows who else could have found that well anyone could have gotten the same powers as our Lord Recluse or a similar power. Or better yet a lady recluse. :P

    Reversed douse qualify as different.
    Just because not every thing es exactly opposite doesn't mean that many things wont be. I imagine that the Riki would be evil in ether world do to there need to eat people to survive. The Clockwork king is crazy so his would still be evil but his toys might be shinier and he might not be just a brain in a bucket. Unless he's responsible for those new neutral robots shown in the Con video.

    Have you noticed that in one of the previous issues they started labeling some of the missions with big blue Hero or Red villeins? That's probably part of the bases of the alignment exchange. Having to something like run a ark to get rouge status thin run random missions to change your alignment far enough to one side or another. Thin another ark to completely switch over to the other side.

    I can think of four factions being talked about with GR. Heroes, Villains, Pro-Praetorian Gov. and Anti-Praetorian Gov.

    I wonder if their will be any others. Minor ones. Perhaps a hero can gain reputation with Paragon Police or a villain with 5th Column or The Counsel. I am thinking something similar with how Vanguard Merits are gained. That may be more practical. The Merits could then be used to purchase minor temp powers, costume pieces, badges.

    I am sure some badge hounds who would love to kick **** for The 5th Column to get a shiny ‘Minion of the 5th’ badge or something more elegant.

    I am not suggesting a zone dedicated to such a minor faction as the RWZ is for Vanguard. One or two contacts with half a dozen repeatable quests would suffice
    Sort of like the reverse of defeat badges. :P I like it. A howl slew of mini arcs. Mabe using the random paper/radio missions as a base.
  22. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a but or if this is the right way to say this but.
    Douse this coat make me look fat?
  23. Wouldn't it be best just to have the EAT, Patron, and Ancillary pool's be unlocked by some high level quest for the specific faction. Thin it wouldn't mater if you were a hero or villain. A hero could easily do something to earn Lord Recluse's favor (earning them Patron power-set) just as a villain could earn the respect of Statesman (earning Ancillary power set). And both faction are against the Rikti and Tyrant (Earning both EAT's).

    Alternatively If there is an evil alt Statesman there almost invariably will be a good alt Lord Recluse who would be glad to give good ex-villains the same Patron powers as his prime main world counterpart.

  24. What about the Mateba autorevolver

    Or some good old fashioned arm cannons. Either back of the arm mounted or covering all of the arm.
