Ok someone fill me in here on WTF I missed in Praetoria. I did one mission for Neuron and handed over data to Cole... who is like, "Lol yeah that happens thanks fam," and now suddenly I'm supposed to know all about Primal Earth and that we are going to invade or somesuch bullshit? WTF?

^^^^^ oh, that probably makes more sense.Deki posted:I've had decent experiences with pubbies but I try to group with goons as much as possible. Ideally I'll just ping pong between the two unless there's a massive migration to the goon server or back to Indom. What does "finishing" mean here? In terms of players slotting T4s in every slot, that's happened. People have beaten all the iTrials even on Indom (which has less population than Torchbearer and whatever the RP server is called) and from the ones I've done, I imagine the Master Of has been awarded to players for those as well. Keyes I haven't done and is a pain to get the Master Of, so I'm not sure on that one, but considering everything else that's been achieved I would not be surprised if it has.

Deki posted:Also I'm curious as to if any of the servers will ever "finish" the Incarnate track. Incarnate track is probably a very unlikely, if ever. The current ones already basically snap the game in half, and unless something dramatic changes it's pretty unlikely there will be sufficient interest to continue developing itrials. Not impossible, just extremely unlikely. Origin pools are somewhat unlikely, as they reference by name art assets that don't really exist in a modable fashion ingame (such as bolas). It's possible someone might feel like sprucing up the art assets for this, but given they were deliberately paragon point bait pools and aren't actually very interesting past that (the former being the reason given as to why they were forsaken on the SCORE server), I doubt it. Wind Control is actually possible. There's a lot of interest, mechanically it's pretty much all written down and thought out, so it's plausible artist(s) and coder(s) could work on this. I think the powers are actually mostly functional right now and '''just''' (that's still asking a lot) need art assets but I could be misinformed there. Would be extremely surprised if we don't see people proliferate weapons, spruce up the NPC costume parts, finish proliferating the few power sets that still make remote sense, and otherwise make the most of what's already in the files. In general if there's much new content for the game it'll probably be primarily that for now, anything more complicated than weapons is going to be hard to gauge until we see servers start to make a serious stab at new content.

Milkfred E. Moore posted:I see I inspired someone! You got the shoes better! It was definitely lurking around in the back of my head. Once the name popped into my head I knew I had to act on it, so I started tinkering around with costume ideas and that seemed like the obvious choice. Once I realized I could use the chest piece to have both the metal skin and the "shirt" I was locked in. Dunno about yours, but it's important to note that mine's Kinetic Melee so he really will be confidently flailing his arms around at all times.  PUPPY PUZZLE posted:very extremely highly unlikely. same with wind control and the origin pools. I'd say Wind Control and the origin pools are more likely because AFAIK we have power data available for both, so it's just down to getting animation work done on them. I'm pretty sure the missing Incarnate stuff was still on the drawing board. Aside from the names I don't think anyone outside the dev team had any info on what they were actually supposed to do, and possibly not even them when it came to stuff like Omega. (Plus it'd be a bit silly to put all that work in without any additional content to use them in.) John Murdoch fucked around with this message at 14:00 on May 29, 2019 |

WTF? I think if you hit maybe 22 before you finish picking up Neutropolis contacts it just dumps you at the end and skips things. This exact thing you had happened with my Sentinel. Long story short with the end of the Power arc: Neuron starts a program to make mass produced Cole clones and has you train it up as a replacement for supers but this will not do because it would undermine your personal claim to fame. So you work with Anti-Matter to have it go very publicly berserk so you can put it down. In the morality mission you can either destroy it as ordered or narc on Neuron for bootlicker cred. The invasion gets brought up in several arcs but again it's super easy to level up fast enough that you miss entire contacts, which makes the entire Praet story become pretty disjointed as many arcs feed directly off earlier ones.

I’m intentionally rushing to the end of missions without killing unnecessary guys along the way, I’m not using xp boosts, and I’ve had minimal patrol xp since i started. I’ve done all of Responsibility and I’ve done all of Power except for Neutropolis. Just starting Power in Neutropolis and I just turned 18. They either didn’t expect you to do everything on one character, or they expected you to have multiple bars of debt every level. They also make it really hard to stick with the Loyalists 100% of the time. I just couldn’t bring myself to turn Vanessa over to Mother.

As part of Going Rogue's themes, there are intentionally moral choices you have to make no matter which side you join. The loyalists and resistance both have their hands in some dirty places doing things that are very morally wrong. Unfortunately, by the time you return to praetoria, Emperor Cole and all loyalists are out right black hat villains.

On the other hand, so many merits. The absolute worst part of Tilman's missions was capturing Beholder though, since you aren't given the option to let her go. You straight up have to send her back to mind slavery in order to continue the Responsibility story. I hear that in the incarnate trials you make MM super extra dead and all I can say is good.

I've only had one notably bad experience thusfar and it was a very weird one. I hopped on a team to do the Manticore TF with another friend, and the first red flag was that the dude (a tanker, naturally) was stressing about nothing having 'enough heals' for fighting 6 missions worth of Crey, noted punching bags. He was really controlling about pulling/'herding' mobs around corners and poo poo while I, as a Brute and facepunching enthusiast, chose to run ahead and get to work polishing off some stuff to make the Defeat All missions go quicker. Then the weird dude sends me a tell informing me this is my 'second warning', to which I tell him to politely gently caress off and promptly drop group to go elsewhere shortly thereafter. I don't think I ever saw anyone like that ever on the Live servers, but I'm glad that these mystical control freak tanks who suck at the game are still out there in the wild.

I got told today that Lord Recluse is just wearing a techno spider legs backpack like most of his organization and now I'm confused because I thought the Arachnoids were suppose to be hosed up clones of him or something. So what are his actual rear end super powers he got from drinking fury juice then? The ability to make a really lovely place to live? That's the only thing I can think of that he and Praetorian Cole have in common.

Praetorian Cole has all four of these, supposedly.

He wears armor over them to protect them + make them more dangerous, though. Someone going by just looks might think they're robotic, but it's armor.

Or maybe he's just REALLY GOOD at Persona 3. But no the giant spider legs are mutations, he's just (sensibly) covered them in armor and (somewhat sensibly) stuck knives on the end of them.

Nah, he's got legit spider legs. They're just armored. "...his back, through Stefan's focused manipulation of his dark power, began developing a hump which later was used to house eight massive arachnid-like arms. Upon further enhancement, the arms were outfitted with super-strong steel claws covering the flesh and bone "arms" that protruded from this hump..."

The goons that want to segregate themselves from normal players are the real weirdos. This is CoX, a game that's famous for having a chill, awesome player base. A Goon only server is going to fizzle out like a wet fart when you don't have enough people to regularly run iTrials. Thundarr posted:I literally turned xp off just so I could run everything.
