GrinningSpade

The 3 letters I have read so far make me want to know more about these heroes. Because in essence that is what it is all about. Sacrificing yourself to save someone else.

I got a bad feeling about this......

The Lost probably opened it already. The mausoleum is for rent now, you know how those evil supergroups always need more space for their next secret headquarters.

While we are at it. Ever heard American Actors Butcher your German, French, Dutch, Russian etc language? Nobody in his right mind would ask me to portray a convincing American citizen the way I will mangle the English Language. So why do they think that an American is able to speak my language convincingly?

With Ninja Jump I just fall quicker of the track.

For the record and regarless of any counter argument. I would like Cobra Strike to do more damage. As the power stands right now, it is on my nomination to get /respecced out asap. I realize that this will never happen though. Every powerset has one or two rubbish powers and I guess this is it for the MA.

If you make the RWZ 35+ again, then the AE building has to be moved to Pocket D.

I recall WarWitch saying (during their visit to Union to celebrate the 5 year thing) that there was no way to put an AE building into Pocket D. However, she seemed to like the idea of an AE building on one of those floating islands outside the club. Opposite the ski chalet for example.

I am in favor for limiting AE buildings to 1 per 10 levels zone. Atlas - Steel - Talos - Brick and PI. Plus Pocket D of course.

(Ps, I like the fact that the RWZ AE building has all those nice turrets and HVas destroying anything that dares to come close. It is a nice touch even if the building should never have been built there in the first place)

To bad, that you didn't have access to the new models so you could tease us more! A thing that will change rapidly I hope when you get into the Beta.

But you make the video look great even with the current existing footage. Great Job!

The noble art of keeping baddies away from me while I blast them. Without me using weird powers.

We all know that in the abandoned sewers we have the Hydra. So why not a nice GM in the normal Sewers? One that should be doable for level 8's. So when you move deep enough with your sewer team, you can face the Ghastly Garbage Heap! Get a badge, some merits and a free tp out to you favorite zone.

I think that it would be nice finish for any sewer team.

I assume that just as with CoV that we get extra slots, either one or two at all servers or a few slots you can place where you want them. I hope the server limit can be enhanced for this though.

And not the obvious winner of them all:

Captain Blub!

I played the arc and here are some thoughts about it.

The contact is very flamboyant, one time a charming individual, the next moment a murderous maniac. Well written dialogue that I liked a lot. I must admit though that if it had been possible then I would have tried to kill (read definitely not arrest) him in one of those briefings, if only in self defense and no judge would hold it against me!

I didn't finish the arc though as the first issue became problematic. My objective (a longbow commander) was nowhere to be found. After spending an hour searching I gave up. Search the objective is a very big issue in this arc. It has been done in 3 of the 5 maps with multiple searches in the last two. Problem is that the objectives are linked and you can search the whole map again after finding one objective. This get annoying fast.

About EB's and help. Providing help is a nice thing, but if you must fight AV's (EB's for solo) then one or two lt's won't be much of a help. Especially when these LT's manage to kill themselves earlier.

Then the story itself. This is what some people would call the idiot ball. The contact is a braggard, a liar, a murderous lunatic and you believe that a hero would trust him on his word? The thing to do when somebody like him claims such thing is to arrest him and then let the proper authorities deal with it. Helping him and becoming a criminal myself is not the correct thing, no matter how well written the dialogue is.

I like this idea. It is better to have a real fire extinguisher then telling the player that his powers are now magicked into being able to destroy fire.

Of course, we need a fire objective as well now. I want to make that rescue trapped citizens inside a building mission.

Paragonwiki already has some things to say about the event but the article is not finished yet. What seems new are two badges and a new semi zone event.

Enjoying some free time or just passing through Pocket D. A young man suddenly appears in front of you, violating your personal space badly. You step aside but he follows. "You must help me, Paragon City is in Peril!" He shouts when your second sidestep succeeds. You stop to listen. He rambles an apology for luring you with the PC in danger thing but he truly needs your help.

Ok, the arc is beneath your notice now but with the new Sk rules, you might be tempted to give Love Spurned a try. If only to get rid of that man. Only 3 missions with a flavor tragicomedy.
