Techbot Alpha

Now, what's so unusual about that?

Those are done in order. Level 1 through to level 3 minions. No outside influences, never before been touched by NPCs or Players.

The level 1s give more than the level 3s.

They give more than level 4s, too. They only give 14 exp and 10 inf.
They only start making sense again at level 5, where you get 22 exp and 15 inf.

So, what the heck is going on here?

(All testing done with a level 2 Enrg/Time Corr)

You lost all credibility when Jack Black sent your horned backside back to Hell.

And you've STILL not paid his damn rent!

Wait, what?

I seriously hope that's not meant to be serious. Because I've already had to fly in extra crates of Crashing Facepalm this month.

While I dislike the 30 sec spawner (they should never spawn enemies on top of you...) I can see why they did it for busier servers. I never had to contend for kills on Union, so I noticed it more than one might if, say, Atlas was crowded with lowbies.

And at least the zone DOES get 'cleared up', rather than ALWAYS being plagued by these gangs that I, supposedly, helped clear out.

I found that much less in Atlas. In Mercy I would fully agree with you in Graves' arc. The main arcs are less of a problem; I got to make plenty of choices that suited my villain, right down to the fact that only one out of three contacts actually made it out alive...

And no ones forcing you at gun-point to read all the dialogue. You can skip right by that, and people who actually like a bit more than 'Go here, kill bad dudes' actually get something in the lower game for once.

You do know that there's nothing stopping you from doing just that, right? Street-sweep by the Hollows gate where there are still mobs and the higher level ones, get to level 5, go to Kings Row. Bam, problem solved.

That's what I did for years, because the low level 'content' took longer for less fun. Now I finally have content that I can stand playing.

YMMV /opinion

'Choice'?

Here are your choices, hero!

1) Go talk to some random dude.
2) Go beat up a bunch of dudes. 'Cos they bad, yo.
3) Go talk to some other random dude. Who'll then have you beat up some bad dudes.
4) Go beat up all the bad dudes on some small map...over in the red bit of the zone where any mob passing wind will knock you out cold.
5) Go talk to some dudette in a totally different zone....who will then do nothing. No, I will not give you my cellphone number to make this easy. You will run all the way and you will like it!

Yeah, that's certainly more 'choice'. So good that I think I'd choose the happy cottage on the end and my big bottle of suicide pills...


Serious face edit: Yes, admittedly ALL content in this game boils down to 'Smack up some bad dudes till they sorry, yo.' But at least it is better written, more engaging and has some neat mechanics these days, rather than what might as well be a street hunt but in an instance.

The fact this even has to be said is evidence enough that some on the Dev team simply don't seem to get this at all.
Which, y'know, is really quite bad actually.

Yeah, teeeeny-tiny changes that completely ignored the vast amount of feedback and active complaints about the pieces (female and huge animal heads still sit much worse than the male ones, particularly on wolves) etc

This utter brain-fart seems to evade certain Devs, even after this much justified annoyance and feedback...

What, the costumes gated behind Tier 9 Rewards AND VIP Status, and the level 50, Incarnate only unlocked armours respectively? And, thinking about it, since only VIPs can get Incarnates that makes BOTH of them VIP only armour.

So, what was your point again?
