I also was on the same team as Digital Synapse. Unlike him I DO take the offensive abilities and was doing damage as well as my "Minions". I actually got 4 choices upon completion each time....none were the emote or badge.
I agree with DS, this is my PRIMARY power pool. To say to me that I will have to do this event without my PRIMARY powers makes me dead weight on the team.
I have had a CoH account since day of release two hours after servers first went live. And as a long time subscriber I find this to be unacceptable. Wow, great customer service.
Masterminds never really interested me as much as other classes did so surprising to many this was my first MM and now to see this? I wonder how many other things I will have to "Gimp" this character in order to get the reward? Which will mean, I probably won't play my MM after all this hard work and 20 levels. When I play on a team, I play. I don't go in as dead weight.
Count me unhappy both with what happened and the really horrible CS response to it.
As I currently have a corrupter named Pyromaniac on Guardian with a great back story who would be awesome for this
