If you get bored I have a selection of Praetorian AEs in my sig aimed at filling a gap between Neutropolis and First Ward/Lvls 21 to 25. I've tried to tie them into canon as much as possible.

If you started your character as a Praetorian you will get "Praetor" at 50 EVEN if you leave at 20 or thereabouts. My "main" is a Praetorian who is still 24 carat gold and never left so you obviously can get to 50 but...it gets fiddly.

^ THIS!

Back in the day my father acceded to my desire to see The Karate Kid in the cinema. So we show up and then screen is full. (Lived in a small town with a only s two screen cinema), so rather than go home my dad bought us tickets for the OTHER showing that night, Top Secret! And that was soooo much fun.

Call it Carp Diem!

Clown MM finally. Summon Clowns. They all arrive in a janky old jalopy the size of a matchbox and yet all pile out of it. A wheel falls off. Upgrade them by spraying them from your fake buttonhole flower. Giant shoes. Fish and pie throwing. Ladder attacks. Bucket of glitter. Random chance of them all running off. Fire one of them out of a cannon for a big effect. One of them has a unicycle. Juggling. (The emote already exists!) Gang War equivalent summons mimes to surround the enemy in an invisible glass box. Loads more! Plus add in all the missing First Ward/Night Ward maps to the AE.

Well Universities get renamed, or have constituent colleges with their own name, so Winthrop could be the SC college of PU.

Yeah, you can exceed your character limit but if you get it wrong it can be a tedious pain to fix.

Just a heads up for Praetorians doing TOT who think they have outlevelled their zones. Alas it may be solo(!) depending on whatever but doesn't have to be. Select an Ouro mission from a Crystal of Ice and Fire in a base then just don't do it. You're exemped down to the zone level and can now knock on doors.

I'm just going to say (and it's my opinion so take it how you will) that with the official licence HC IS the sequel/continuation from Retail. The others are not, however cool some of their stuff is.

Alas he appears as a character in the LOOONG story that is Dark Deeds/Darker Deeds/Darkest Before Dawn...somewhere! A few times actually. He's not front and centre but he's a part of that story.

Good stuff! I've used Chris Jenkins myself and since he was officially introduced in the Corlett arc it'd be cool if he was added to the Contacts list for the AE.

Yep, there's not a damn thing you can do about them. Can't open them to dismiss them.

I pronounce it Chimera.

Although why we can't just have a body option I dunno. How hard could it be?

If you set an NPC as a friendly boss (non objective) and use dead slab instead of unconscious, AND have a small set of minions attached to them apparently examining the body, then the body SHOULD stay dead. Yes it's a pain. It doesn't always work either!

Bridge of Forever. No worries on names! Thanks for playing!

I know 😄 But...I want it. There ya go! If Reese can get there so can we. You could have an arc where you have a chance to finally track down Reese and stumble into the main events of Last Bastion. (There's sideways precedent where Chimera decides to track down Mr. G as opposed to defending Praetoria, except you'd obviously be defending Praetoria).

The only danger in that is the XP would push you past many of the contacts so perhaps the levels of the zones should be raised if this is implemented.

I've mained my Praetorian (in pic) Kameron Daniels and she hit 50 in 2020. Still Pure Gold and providing you can start from anywhere in Praetoria (bar one spot1), Echo Plaza or Pocket D then you CAN do iTrials AND Cathedral of Pain. Not to mention most of the seasonal events (excluding Red Widow and so on). EDIT: Blah, really should fully read all above posts before writing and repeating things. 1. Last Bastion is annoying. The only place in Praetoria a true Praetorian can't go. And it's a bad map.

I've got (so far) three trilogies of Praetorian material in the form of AEs set between levels 19 and 25 (Crusader, Warden and Power) with some shading into the events of the Praetorian War. Details in my signature. They're all designed to be as close to canon as possible. I'd write more set from 25 up if we had ANY maps for First Ward and Night Ward. We don't. I've notes on a final pre War trilogy for Loyalist Responsibility and that will arrive...whenever!

It was Praetoria that never had an equivalent of Viet Nam, not the Primal Earth of CoX.

As I mentioned Sunday and somewhere else, I started using the exit mission clue to duplicate the debrief that the leader gets so that all the team can read it. It's not perfect because you can easily lose it on the last mission if you are not being aware of what you're clicking, plus sometimes you NEED that last clue for stuff! But that's one hacky workaround I'm using for some team play AEs.

Had a fun run. Great to see it happen. Everyone else? Join in!!

Well this is a great start and long may it continue!
