I have a question here: Simply put, if you're not going to be in Praetoria as a full Praetorian, then what is the point of this entire thread? What VEATs and HEATs we have really come into their own after 20, and presumably a variety of Gold EAT will do the same. So I doubt the 1 to 20 arc from Nova to Neutropolis is going to radically change, so the majority of Gold origin toons will leave at 20ish for Primal earth and that then ties them tenuously into the arc for the New Praetorians or the Rogue Isles equivalent. And from then on they are, effectively, Primal toons apart from what badges they earn. That's it. But it doesn't have to be like that. We, know and it is done, that characters can continue on as Praetorians after 20 via First Ward and into Night Ward. Setting PEAT storyline here would I think be far more interesting, and lead on further than just trying to slot them into parallel arcs that exist for Rift crossers at level 20. Indeed a secondary option to cross to Primal WITHOUT naturalizing as such around level 40 would provide a lot of interesting content. (Why should they not naturalize? Well, Primals can wander in and out of Praetoria at will without ever being required to lose their contacts or background from Level 1, asking that a Praetorian be accorded at least that at level 40(!) is hardly unreasonable I feel.) And yes, I do have a vested interest in this since a majority of my toons are Gold, if you're going to go that route post 20 with PEATS you have to offer the same incentives to those who follow that route who are not PEATS. Again, It really boils down to the 20s. If you're going to end up leaving, and no work is done to allow for not, I really don't see the point of this.

ROFLMAO...ahem. Yeppers, oh aye. Carry on, nothing to see here. (No not a value judgement, just a laugh from someone with 22 toons max, and some of those are a combination of "proof of concept" and testing out AE NPCs as actual player types).

What did you create? I created a Thugs MM. Yes, still on my own but I got my gang!

A tie in to the Furies perhaps, since Angels of Vengeance can still be seen wandering the Wards?

The only real Prae Fatigue was the devs not wanting to do it. (Tied to the classic mistake of bottlenecking their end storyline into one thing.) And a resounding vote for SOMETHING ELSE. Or at least a version of the Coming Storm that isn't shackled to whatever the original devs were planning/talking about.

Oh no, blue. Blue is the official colour of Ireland,

Oh I've done that 🙂 Found Officer Daniels too. And having done that it's one of the reasons I have for not wanting this map introduced to the AE.

Damn it now I have to run back and check for that guy the next time I do the tutorial! (It does look like Galaxy "got the Atas Park remake" treatment before it was destroyed, when you compare it to the Echo version. I can see one of those glass domed garden top buildings behind the statue of Galaxy Girl, and the Echo doesn't have one.)

March - St. Patrick's Day. - Everyone goes to the pub and/or a wake and nothing much happens because we're all having a great time. Fixed that for you 🙂

There are NO maps from Imperial City outdoor areas in the AE. NONE. Can we have some ASAP please? Not to mention First Ward, Night Ward and Last Bastion(*). It really puts a dent in trying to create Praetorian AE adventures when so many of the areas are simply not there. (Special note: Just give us all the maps everywhere, except the Galaxy City Tutorial.) (*) Yes, I know it's an instanced map but it's still "outdoor".

JL was crap. And some of that crap was Whedon. Love Buffy back in the day but the whedonfest love-in needs to die. BVS was misjudged and weirdly written, and yet...in some mad operatic way, it had something, though that might just be Gal Gadot revving her engines for the great WW that then appeared. Worst. Absolute worst DC supers movie for me recently? Joker. A truly awful film built around a good performance.

Dice it fine, crisp it on a pan, mix it through mashed potatoes.

I'm not sure how Canada does it but the regulations here are based on "it must be proven to be safe before human consumption is allowed" vs "We'll ban it after enough people complain and /or get ill/die."

I live in the EU (until the end of December!) and the amount of additives we ban compared to the FDA is insane...in a really good way.

Scarce? Have you looked at some of the bread you have? Contains cellulose? That's wood pulp!

Those are "soft" paths. When you get to the Rift Enclosure you can still choose as a Loyalist to go to Paragon, or as a Resistance member to go to the Rogue Isles.

And that's where Ouro comes in.

I've just got COH stuff LOL.

Look, I've mentioned a variation of it before, but getting the Vaz to dig up Atlas and turn him into the biggest Abomination you've ever seen would be just great for Hallowe'en. Or he rises through necromancy at some mad culmination of all the zombie attacks.

Well, I know they aren't entirely simpatico but you CAN lay down patches of fog where you like when base building so...

I agree with a lot, quite a lot of the rest of your post (that I haven't quoted) but the voice acting? Ah, no. seriously. Voice acting is binary, it's either amazing (I am old school and if anyone ever played any of the Legacy of Kain games then that was my standard for great voice work) or shit. And most of it is shit. Plus in a comic book inspired game the speech bubbles work! Provided those crowdfunded efforts are somehow still classed as donations and...see, getting donations to fund the servers is one thing. Getting a 3D artist to do work like that would involve setting up a private commission, or else you're wandering into tax issues, things that they would have to claim/report, what their work is. Blah blah. Rogue Server. Possible legal complications. Not impossible but you're threading a corkscrew opening and trying not to touch the sides there. You know, I could have explained that a lot better but I'm a bit tired. LOL.

Exactly.

Praetorian De Vore also had to contend with Tilman's entire Seer network looking for her so Crow COULD slip beneath the radar I think. Primal De Vore does not have that problem.

A demorecord character replace is a good option if you've got a LOT of alts. So if you were to record and replace these guys for instance.
