\"\"In no particular order.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Praetoria is shiny. All sorts of lovely mirrored surfaces, reflective windows, etc. Almost like it was designed that way.<\/li>\n
  2. The ambiguous moral underpinnings of Emperor Cole’s realm are interesting.\u00a0 I look forward to running through both side to see if the “freedom fighters” of the Resistance are as great a mix of admirable and dubious as the “law & order” types of the Loyalists.\u00a0 As it is, the greater interest of making initial decisions would lead me to point any newcomer to play in Going Rogue vs. a standard Atlas\/Mercy Hero\/Villain startup.<\/li>\n
  3. Eleventy million kudos for Paragon Studios realizing that people have differently-sized monitors, therefore the splash screens need to not get all expanded out of proportion.<\/li>\n
  4. Good news: the markets are now merged,\u00a0 so that the odd disparities of what goes for how much between Redside and Blueside will no longer exist.\u00a0 Bad news: all selling history is wiped out, so nobody knows how much to sell anything for. Yet.<\/li>\n
  5. All the servers conned yellow — except Freedom (red) and Virtue (red, then gray). Wow.<\/li>\n
  6. We went ahead and genned a couple of new toon for Praetoria: Ms. Crackle <\/strong>(the Praetorian version of Miss Crackle, and in this case an Electric\/Storm Controller), and Positive Force <\/strong>(Kin\/Electric Brute).\u00a0 We had a good time, albeit with a few faceplants … but I’m seriously thinking an Empathy+Brute duo would be unstoppable.<\/li>\n
  7. A few dozen more kudos for allowing different levels of sophistication going into the initial missions, allowing you to be walked through stuff or thrust more directly into it as a Vet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
