There's no mention of Kheldians, for one, meanwhile there was the Path of the Dark here (and SHadowstar in Ancient Egypt, reinforcing the Kheldian thing.) There is no Council and there are no Nictus to go back and make an offer to Romulus. And really, no group with the tech or clout to go back and change things other than the Praetorian leadership - and if *they* did it, I think they'd be more interested in stopping Hamidon before the whole mess got started. (Well, some. I mean there's the whole idea of gaining or losing position and power, which itself would be an interesting bit of story, but rather unrelated to Cimerora.) If the Praetorians, for whatever reason, went back to their Cimerora, they'd ... have a Roman colony. Essentially the whole framework that puts the Cimerora plan into motion (and alters our own past, slightly) is just not there. I've not re-run the Praetorian arcs yet but does any Praetorian lore include alternate dimensions? Outside of the hole between Primal and Praetorian Earths? Edit: Tina Macintyre's arc relates to an invasion by Anti-Matter called "The Praetorian War" that existed prior to Going Rogue, but was updated with the release of GR. So what's to say there hadn't been other incursions by Anti-Matter. Perhaps the labs were under First Ward and were cut off when Hamidon attacked.

justicebeliever Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 I’m confused. Wouldn't a higher level character from Praetoria know all about Primal earth? Why wouldn't they visit?

I've never played Gold-Side except through Orouborus I think you're missing out, not having played Gold side. If you want to experience all the story arcs for Resistance and Loyalists, you can do so through judiciously turning off XP and turn-coating. Gold side is definitely geared towards experienced/veteran players as the mobs tend to be more difficult or at least ramp up more quickly. That Resistance and Loyalists both have two factions; moderate and extremists/militant, makes it even more interesting. Add double-dealing into the mix... recipe for interesting times. There were players that made it to L50 in Legacy prior to First/Night Wards being added so you could only level by teaming with other Praetorians that hadn't yet immigrated to Primal Earth. If we (Praetorians) could get a path to Cimerora, then their journey is almost complete. After all, there are still iTrials.

I agree that Stephem Amell was an amazing choice, and that he brought a lot of comic book passion to the project. I think that's also what helped it succeed - it was really willing to pay homage to it's comic roots without falling into the trap of either trying to move everything from the comics directly to the screen, but also not just grabbing a name for a name's sake. Except for Jean Loring. Not sure why they used her name in the show given the baggage the name carries.

The first season was terrible, but after that it became a fun and highly entertainmening show that embraced it's ridiculousness. I watched a fair bit of season 2 of legends and didnt hate it but just didnt get into it. I had hopes when they brought on Constantine, as Id enjoyed that series, but aside from some bsica behavior he barely seems the same character from that series, and I see him as an alternate timeline version of the one I enjoyed years ago. The current season is way to movie spoof of the week type of vibe which for me is causing way too many bad flashbacks to the worst era of Sliders, in which the writers used the that same crutch. Also just way too much relationship drama. I really do not care about who is hooking up with who etc and frankly hated all the Felicity/ollie drama on Arrow as well. I actually would have preferred Felicity going over to Team Flash as I thought her actress and Barry's had good chemistry on screen. Even if it would of had to end up going platonic as Iris and his relationship is etched in comic lore. Hell Titans which I love, still suffers that some especially with Hawk and Dove. Im hopeful with them being no longer a couple that if we get a season 3 it picks up the steam it sometimes felt missing due to their sub plot. In fact the only comic themed show atm I like that is heavy on character relationship drama is Doom Patrol. 1
