Hope you love SO's, because you'll never be able to buy another recipe of hunk of salvage without the possibility that it was listed by a blackhearted, monstrous villain.

=D

There is a price to pay for being evil.
These posts are always about the "evil" side getting shafted. So here we go again.
Once more to explain why evil shouldn't benefit from the hard work of heroes.



That's Infa not to be confused with Influ.

By "robust side" you mean to take away the fact that Influence is for Heroes. It isn't Red and Blue. It's Hero and Villain. Good and Evil.
Yes, it pays to be "good". At least here in our comicbook game world.

I'm not sure why there is any difficulty involved with e-mailing Influence to a character that has decided to join the heroes and the "strait and narrow path". You can send your self e-mail and if you have a Hero they can open up an e-mail with Influence in it. No problem there.



Once again, you try to demean being a hero or a villain. This isn't red and blue. This is Good and Evil.
There are plenty of other games without Good and Evil as definite alighments. If it is really so hard for you to deal with the fact that this game is about Good and Evil (and soon a gray area separate from the two) then maybe one of those other games would be more desirable for you.

The "draw" to return to the "path of darkness" is to be a villain. I would figure that is why some players are playing villains rather than playing heroes. Their incentive would be to return to playing a "dastardly evil" character rather than a "goody-two-shoes" hero.

I'm not trying to pick on you. I'm being perfectly serious.
Super hero comics are NOT about neutrality. Sometimes villains switch sides and sometimes heroes "go rogue", but you can almost always tell when it is intended to for a character to be Good or Evil at any given point - that is pretty much the basis of the comic book hero genre.
I really don't know why you expect villains to be rewarded for work done by heroes in a comic book super hero game - and that is what anyone that wants to see the markets merged - or implying that they should be - is asking for.



If the villain side turns into a waste lands, then maybe that is for the best.
It isn't even clear if you can get villain contacts to run missions in the Isles if you are a hero going rogue. If you are going Rogue and running "evil" missions - I'm assuming you won't be earning Infamy until you flip that corner and become a villain; I'm assuming that you won't earn Influence for running "evil" missions either if you are still a hero.

I certainly hope the DEVs just leave it alone. That would be the reasonable thing to do in this genre. Yes, this is a Superhero Genre game. If you don't like the polarity then find a game where there the sides really are only distinguished by the color of uniform that they wear - aka "Red and Blue" (though most of those games the side that you are on is Blue and the enemy is always red - or, at least, that has been my experience)
Those that pick the path of Evil deserve their just rewards - which by your guesses will be a big pile of nothing! Yeah! The Villains loose. Boo villains! Boo!



The "repair" isn't needed.
Go for it. Crash the villain markets and soak up all the glory of your villainy.
Evil is as evil does. And you deserve what you get if you relieve yourself in your own swimming pool.

Face it. You are villains.
Heroes worked to fill the hero market full of stuff.
If the villains want a market full of more stuff then they have to work for it.
Why should evil get rewarded for the things that Heroes do?
They shouldn't.

I think we have been over this time and time again.

If it is so bad to be villain, the maybe you should stop being evil and become a hero.

I'm certainly not going to give up trying to be a good person in real life simply because it seems that those that lie, cheat, and steal on various levels seemed to be getting ahead in this world.
I certainly hope I can come to a comic book game and expect to see that the lines are drawn and I can stand tall for my heroic actions and not see my hard work go to the benefits of evil (characters).

Of course, I'm still for stripping characters of all enhancements (and everything else) and starting them back of at "square 1" if they go "darkside" or "finally see the light".
There should be a massive price to pay for switching sides in a game that is THE game about the Superhero Genre.

Don't come crying to me if your Mastermind becomes a Defender when they finally become a hero.

I want paper-thin walls. I really don't need ten feet of cement, steel, gravel, etc. between them.
I want rooms that touch at the corners.
I want to be able to place a room wherever I want in relation to another room, THEN select the doorway, not have a perfectly legitimate placement denied because of the "default" doorway being blocked (even if there's a spot 1-2 blocks down that's fine.)
I want to be able to convert a room "in place" to a larger version of the same, just paying the cost difference (which we do now, really.)
I want a holding area for crafted items (typically teleporters) when I have to delete a room and recreate it (usually because of the "larger version" actually.)
And I'm happy to throw "wider hallways" onto the list.

Need a "Base love" issue. >.>

Someone mind telling me what changed or is it all detailed in some update notes?

.. And, was there a patch? How big is it? It may not even be worth it for me with my third-world internets.

Oh, how I wish I were not kidding about this.

I never checked.... are the human form powers customizable at all?

Translation 2: They ain't doin it cuz it's too gorram hard to figure out so they're throwing out silly rationales for avoiding it.

In this example, +.01%. Sleep easy.

4. Redside is going to basically be abandoned except for maybe trying to do strikeforces.
5. Blueside is boring, the players are bad, the AT’s are bad and the only reason to switch is for people who are already ebills many times over to get more inf for no purpose whatsoever.

A lot of this sounds like the same line of BS that I hear from Mac users. How much better the Mac is (When is exactly the same hardware as a windows machine) etc. Basically it comes across as snobbish.

Now I play almost exclusively blue. I grew up in the Silver Age and I like being a hero. But I like to try different things so I rolled a Merc Mastermind last night and got him up a few levels. I had a pretty good time and got on a team at 2 in the morning CST on Liberty.
I have a couple of hero toons that would make great villains including an insane AI that thinks it’s Nikolai Tesla and that Marconi and Edison are out to get him. I was thinking it might be fun to bring Electrix Destructor over for ...well… a little destruction and finish leveling on Redside.

But from what I’ve read in this thread why should anybody blueside bother or even want to come to red? Should I even bother to keep playing my Mastermind?

“Oh, you’re a hero? Well, you probably suck as a player but maybe you can hang with the awesome kids before we all leave to make fun of you in Paragon City and take over all the markets and flood them with crap no one wants and horde all the stuff they do want.”

Yeah, I can see why redside might be deserted.
