Thanks for all the input guys! Your guide helped me especially, Fatman

This is actually a really good response. Since there are theoretically an infinite number of alternate universes that are so similar it'd take a lifetime to find out what was different(if anything), anyone's interpretation as to the what or the why could be correct. So really there is no 'right' interpretation of what happened

This is basically what I settled on after reading through all the lore AMAs and Tyrants bio in MxM, it's pretty similar to your own with a one big divergence. We know what was supposed to go down before the game closed so my own headcanon is that Live servers went through the coming storm and defeated it in the method it was laid out in the Lore AMAs/MxM and intended to occur by Paragon Studios. Tyrant pretends to be statesman and serves as the symbol everyone needed, rallies everyone, and they win. The End New shards are alternate realities where for reason x, y, or z, those events haven't transpired yet, if at all

I've been playing with this set on a Water blaster for a while now and I've been just trying to figure out how it can be best used. Reach for the Limit/Reaction Time/Inner Will all seem to be really solid powers, but it seems like many of the powers are very skippable and I was just wondering if anyone with a bit more experience with the set could give some pointers on it. From what I can glean, it's more of a utility set as opposed to something that would give you a lot of Burst DPS.

I can get behind why you want these changes from an optimization standpoint but knockup on the blasts doesn't make any sense to me. Thematically the anti-grav thing doesn't really mesh with all the lore i've read about them. Nictus/warshade modified themselves but PBs are pure energy manip. Everything else im 100% in agreement with

my theory is that chronologically Crimson already did expose them. CoX timeline seems to progress based off issues instead of level. I forget what contact it is but there's a contact around level 30 blueside which is post praetorian war despite the player not even being high enough level to have been involved in it

CO is boring in just about every aspect except for its combat, which is only marginally less boring than CoH's and I personally don't like the art style of the game. besides that, the only thing it has going for it is better customization, but it just wasn't enough for me. I tried it twice and the furthest I got was around level 25 before I got bored.

AE was never designed or meant for farming, or the devs at cryptic wouldn't have hit it several times with a nerf bat. Anyone can do whatever they want with it, more power to you, but to say this is pure delusion.

It's buggy and makes the more metallic looking costume pieces look weird, so I have it off

Probably something that was added in along with the other modifications that were made , I've been seeing it too

CoX was still turning a profit when it shut down. Supposedly a factor of its closure was due to office politics/failure of the korean launch
