I swear to Christ, Freitag, if you're messing with my mind there will be blood.


Said blood will probably be mine, on the wall, where my head impacts, but THERE WILL STILL BE BLOOD!

Just to point out, we do have Mirror Spirit, who is the incarnation of the Yata no Kagami, while not strictly a deity the mirror is an important part of the Amaterasu legend. It would also be very difficult to cover Norse mythology since Marvel has that whole thing pretty well claimed. Sadly, most of the other cultures you mentioned besides Egyptian are so unknown to the average American that making references to them would be kinda pointless, because nobody would get it. Of course, as a guy who frequently plays a Djinn character, I'd love to see more Arabic stuff.

Now, back on the topic at hand, what would I like to know more about? Well that's simple: The Coralax. I've been wanting to see more about the Coralax for ages, like a strictly Coralax-based TF/SF and/or (Oh God Please) an underwater zone. There is just a massive storyline behind the Coralax that has been relatively untapped. We've done the Leviathan to death, there's still so much more to cover. Hell, there's an entire aquatic race besides the Coralax that don't even exist in game yet. Coralax. Underwater zone. Get on it.

Because unlike virtually every other person who has ever played this game, I do not believe KB is the devil, and am instead happy to simply have a good set with awesome bonuses and an amusing graphical proc. I frankly could not give any less of a crap about the KB removal effect, and the KD proc, while amusing, does not really excite me.

Let me tell you what the average day is like for me logging on to one of my vilains on the Virtue server. I stand there in whatever location I log into, swith to my dedicated LFG tab, and begin the hunt. After about twenty minutes of "LF DFB Blue" and "DFB Forming Blue" I resign to the usual solo grinding. I get bored after not too long because the XP-to-Team-Size ratio is insanely skewed towards teaming and check the LFG again. DFB blue, DFB blue, DFB effing blue. And before you ask, yes I have attempted to start teams. As it turns out, nobody gives a rat's rectum about mid-level paper missions anymore because they're all doing DFB BLUE!

It wasn't like this a few years ago. We had a huge villain population. Yeah, there's some people left but it's not enough. Not compared to the staggering amount of active hero players. I don't know what it's like on other servers but Virtue is so skewed towards heroes nowadays that the Rogue Isles just feel empty. I used to see people running around doing stuff, AFKing at the market, hosting CCs, forming SFs...None of that anymore, not since Going Rogue allowed them to take their favorite archetypes to the other side.

Just to say, there's a group of perfectly human dudes who do this on a regular basis. They're called firemen. In short: I can totally believe that even the most annoyingly mundane of player-characters can heft another human body over their shoulder if necessary.

The game already has an unwritten distiction between "Supers" and "Civillians". You might notice that regardless of whether or not they are capable of fighting at the time, most superpowered NPCs can see you (better) through stealth and have much better following ability/speed. They're overall much easier to escort than "Civillain" type NPCs, who get losw easily, are slow, and are the cause of so much rage.

While we're on the subject of the (extremely awesome) temp power system, how about just adding a small attack while carrying? Call it "Fend Off", a sort of boot-to-the-chest attack that knocks the target down, just enough to keep a troublesome enemy at bay while you carry your NPC to safety.

Honestly, I think that's a little too nit-picky, and anyone who complains I would write off as being too whiny. We're talking about a major QoL change right here, complaining would just be sad.

Nothing stops people from AFKing with an NPC linked to them now, and people don't do it because it would get them kicked in a heartbeat. They'd just need to make sure that a teammate who gets kicked will drop the NPC automatically.

Teleportation should work on NPCs already. This has aggravated me for years. If nothing else, this should be changed. Every other mobile entity, protection/resistance notwithstanding, can be teleported via Teleport Foe or Recall Friend. I never understood why they couldn't make NPCs viable targets.

That is exactly what I meant. I'm one of those people who loves to get into the a truly evil role. Every time I get the opportunity to make the citizens of Paragon City flee in abject terror for their pitiful, virtual lives, it pleases me. My characters are thieves, murderers, and megalomaniacs, just like any good comic book bad guy.

So why. Why on God's green earth am I putting so much effort into not only saving my world but saving someone else's. Praetoria can burn for all I care, Tyrant and Hamidon can settle their own issues over who gets it because I sure as hell don't want it. I an only justify myself with the "Save the world so I can conquer it later" excuse so many times before I have to trade in my blackened cowl for a pristine white cape.

And before anyone says it, and I know you will, "You don't have to do Incarnate content!" Bull***t. First off, what self-respecting villain is going to pass up more power? Secondly, yes I do. At least for now, because there is no other option to get Hybrid. I admit, DA is thus far proving to be at least better. I still got to remove a pair of old thorns in my side (Kadabra Kill and Sigil), and I don't know where the story will take me from here but at least it's better.

Of course this is all reminding me of how poorly Shadow Shard was handled. Why do Heroes get exclusive access to it? It would have been the perfect way to introduce a non-cooperative zone, with Heroes and Villains working towards two seperate but similar goals: Heroes to take down Rulaaru for the good of mankind, Villains to harness his power for themselves. You know, like Darrin Wade finally did. I still haven't done the Villain version of SSA1, so I don't know how it goes, but if the Hero version is any indication I'm guessing it's saving the world...Because Recluse said so.

Long story short: Co-op is infuriating because it ignores the villain side of the equation and shoehorns us into a heroic role. I take some small satisfaction in seeing someone complain about how co-op is being unfair to heroes. Even if it doesn't solve the problem, I'm still an a**hole.
