Something to note, while you can probably get Denial of Service in more places the higher level you are (due to having a bigger health pool), I figured I should note that I was only level 10 (Dominator) or so when I got it from Imperial City's road to nowhere. I had previously tried that peninsula in Nova early on but failed to get it then.

If it was one of your own characters, I guess I could see the appeal.

However, I don't really see the point in using someone else's character from the server. All you're doing is replacing a random villain with a different random villain. There's also the distaste I would have for the server puppeting my character around. I do have a number of heroes and villains that have no reason to be involved on either side of a bank heist.

Arachnoids can use their arms to hang around in webs, apparently.

Honestly, I wouldn't consider it too unfounded if a Crab Spider character climbed a vertical wall by impaling the arms into it, one after another.

That said, there's no reference to LR or Crab Spiders using their arms for travel purposes.

/signed.

As an extension of 1), there can literally be no balance problem* because Rest is simply an accelerated form of standing around waiting for health and endurance to regenerate.

As an extension of 3), it would provide even post-SO characters with a workable alternative to Stamina that required no additional power picks or slots.

*Edit, for rear-covering purposes: There's no powers/enemy-based balance upset. You might argue that it would change how quickly lower level characters can run through content/gain XP, but I don't really see that as a bad thing, considering the revamped XP curve already increased that speed.

I agree on the unceremoniousness, disagree on the Jetpack Vendor. It's really not the devs' fault if you decided to skip out on a travel power.

From today's patch:

Well, Croatoa does have some farms. Lacking in livestock though.

Is anyone else having this problem? Or is this something that just need to be fixed on my end? Basically at random the boards nuke my cookies and force me to log back in. It's a mite annoying.

On Firefox, by the way.

There is. The level up, um, fireworks are uniquely ostentatious when you hit 50.

The door you can exit from is on the opposite side of the facility from the one you can enter from.

For clarity's sake, when you enter, you pop out of one of the small holding cell whatsits. The exit door is around the back of the main facility building, IIRC.

This tripped me up too. Thankfully someone else was in the same situation and helped me out. Definitely worth a /bug report.

What's so frustrating is that they used to work correctly. Somewhere along the lines the "Unaware Dialogue" element got broken, and now simply activates at the same time as the "Active Dialogue".

This breaks oh, just about every mission in the AE, and most of the newer missions in the game from I6 onward.

Seeing as how a certain contact in Going Rogue doesn't exist in the gameworld and can only be contacted remotely, that technology can be used with adding Calvin Scott's TF to Ouroboros, right?

Throwing in my observations, taken from a static 3-man team going through the Loyalist content:

1) Too many ambushes. Period. I know they're a good way of adding tension, but it's a little silly how many missions involve loads of ambushes, especially more than the usual 3 or 5 waves. Of note is one particular Syndicate mission that spawns ambushes right on your back multiple times without warning. Let's also keep in mind that due to how the ambush code works (AFAIK), they spawn locked onto a particular team member, which can be the squishy.

2) In an equal fight, the Resistance beats PPD every time. I know there's a vague in-story explanation for this, but that's really no excuse. The few times Loyalists have the opportunity to fight PPD, they're about what you'd expect from a 1-20 group, if a little easy. Whereas Resistance get to spray much more damage at you from range, and they debuff your defense too. Oh, and why the heck do they get to do good damage at both range and melee? I will say that by levels 16-20, they don't feel quite so rough anymore, but before that...

3) Destroyer issues:
a) Blast Masters need to be toned down. Their ability to spread lots of fire patches around stinks, even if the individual damage ticks aren't that strong. I think this is largely because they like to spawn three to a mob on teams.
b) Mad Dogs are immune to mez and knockdown/back. Really? Really...? An all-melee boss that's immune to control. Yeah. Sorry, but no.

4) Syndicate issue: Sword Masters are quite possibly one of the worst bosses ever designed. A boss-level enemy that can use a melee attack at range. That, many a time, would instantly drop my Dominator to 50% health. At range. No. And that's on top of their rather fast attack chain that piles on even more damage in melee.

Edit: And, just a small nitpick not directly related to difficulty - there's a touch too many Syndicate along the Loyalist arcs. In fact, I'm pretty sure you fight more Syndicate than you do Resistance.
