Unfortunately, this isn't true, from what we've been told. Praetoria may only cover 1-20 with some content for side-switching above that and some "end game" content. And the two new sets.

This does give me hope for the future, but it also makes me wonder what they will have ready in GR when it launches.

Zam's right.

The game is DOOMED.

I didn't have luck when I was trying to do this back when AE launched. I'm happy to hear things are looking up for using the AE as it was intended.

A theoretical "super zone" wouldn't require IOs... it would just mean that any viable team would be composed of half Defenders/Corruptors for the debuffs/buffs.

That's what happens with any real challenging content in this game. Look at the LRSF and the portion of the team reserved for Corruptors. Look at how any team of Defenders makes difficult content a joke.

There's not a good, easy solution for this, either. You can gut the effectiveness of debuffs, but that would be a major gameplay change that would upset most of the players. That's why improved diffculty needs to include better AI or gimmicks, because "a bigger bag of hit points" will just melt away under sufficient application of debuffs.

Did you see Sexy J's post where he said that was an NPC and not a player costume?

It's hopeless, GP... you can't put a good spin on this!

Nah, watching a DVD with the wife... which is kinda fun, I guess.

/looks up from a marathon CO session

She has skills, GP... evil skills.

I can read between the lines.

Golden Girl

But I like Pepsi Throwback!

I saw this video, and I didn't take it to mean that had to leave at level 20. But now I'm a broken man... I should be happy that they let us stay in Praetoria for that long. /sob

You can't fight it, GP... she'll crush your hopes and dreams just like she did mine.

/em goes to play some CO

See what she's driving me to!

Apparently the devs did make some sort of comment that if you started in Praetoria you'd have to visit Primal Earth once you hit 20, either to pursue Tyrant's goals, or to hide because Tyrant was going to kill you. That's what I'm going on now. It's a little bit of a leap to say that there's no 30 - 50 content, but a bunch of people have already made this assumption.

Of course, this isn't to say that they can't add more GR content as time goes on, but I was hoping for something a little more from the expansion.

You forgot the nebulous end-game content... that's my only hope right now.

Bah, they can do it at the kiosk in P. Atlas Park!

Sure... we need:

Praetorian Atlas Park (1 - 5)
Praetorian Galaxy City (1 - 5)
Praetorian King's Row (5 - 10)
Praetorian Perez Park (5 - 10)
Praetorian Steel Canyon (10 - 20)
Praetorian Skyway (10 - 20)

Yeah, we need about six new zones to hold all that new content!

I get the impression that the Posi Secret Project is coming out after GR, but I could be wrong.

It's an excuse to not have the last 30 levels of content in Praetoria. I'm certainly not jazzed to start off a completely new character with brand new content and then have to slog through Striga (or Talos, or what have you) for the billionth time.

Side-switching alone isn't a draw for some people, and new lvl 1-20 content (which can be completed in a few days without any PL) certainly isn't going to do it. The success of the expansion will rest on the 50+ content now.

It will in the sense that something is better than nothing, but for the longtimers here, GR really has to knock it out of the park, and unless the 50+ content is so fantastic that it really does amount to content from 20-30 for each character, then I don't think it will do that.

So... you decide whether you join the Resistance or Tyrant's gang... then they banish you to another dimension that has nothing to do with that conflict...

SO not making any sense!
