Scarlett, quick question. You said the Ashes were the oldest international sporting trophey. I always thought that was the America's cup, which was first contested in 1868, after being gifted to the NYYC in 1857.

Have you gone all they way across? Villians and Rogues get the red Ouro, Hero's and Vigis get the Blue one.

These are PvP badges for... you know.. PvP. You don't like to PvP then don't. I'm ok with PvPers hitting me if I venture in there, it's partly why I haven't bothered to date.

Storm... the Apex door is instant, or near enough, and you can check the other side from above. And death would just occur as soon as you moved anyway as you can't escape from an active blue spot. Elevator tops are the same, without the option to check, and almost never contain ambushes.

As for ambushes when zoning INTO a mission, these are rare and unfair I agree. But it's happened so little since I started playing I deal with it.

Cool, so it's not just me. It's weird that OUR AoE can do it. And possibly it's only ours, and is part of the Alighment switching as I've had Des as both an ally and an enemy.

I've found that in rescue Tip missions the objective character takes damage if you fight around them and can die, leaving the mission uncompletable. I had this happen once with the mission 'too many flambeauxs' and checked again on the mission with 'and this is how she dies' and Overdrive was taking damage.

Pulling the mobs away from the hostage works fine, but this isn't normal behaviour is it? I have bugged it already.

OK, but there are few maps where ambushes happen, and as pointed out above the Apex final mission IS one map, you can see your allies fighting below and the blue patches of doom. It's become a method on teams to yell if there is blue at the door so people won't fall into that trap.

I've been on a few teams that have given up on the last mission, mostly on the STF with PUG's, although an early run against battle maiden beat us. But it's always been a team decision.

I've also been on a team that has finished the STF with 6 after the Emp and his partner lost their internet after the 2nd mission. Took us a while but we pulled it off with the Kin healing the tank off the towers.

I've had a few people quit on me, but not many and often cos they were newbies who didn't understand Task Forces meant you stick it out.

Looks like all this will make Melee characters obsolete because blasters will have killed them all before they can close in to fight. And who needs defense when everything is dead.
