The portals aren't that hard to find, especially considering they are on your map and you get a pop up telling you where to look.

But I agree they were horribly lazily put in. A random magical portal on the beaches of Grandville and in the middle of Sharkhead/Talos/Peregrine that's barely monitored by a few people is laughably uncreative and cheap. Even worse is our entrance to Imperial City in tucked away inside Pocket D. We have Portal Corp, Grandville, and plenty of space in Talos Island and Cap Au Diable. Convert a building into a high tech Aeon Corp/Portal Corp building monitored by professional Arachnos/Longbow agents and scientists and a contact that explains the situations in each zone for players. Bam.

Loved it.

The reasons people cite for hating redside are all wrong, though. Take a run through St. Martial or Aeon/Mercy City and tell me it's all trashy and bleak. Paragon City has entire zones dedicated to garbage and destruction. The Rogue Isles only have half of Mercy and the slums of Grandville. The zones have so much more character to them and have so much more going on as opposed to Blueside and it's "Almost every zone is a generic city" landscape. And only about two or three contacts actually treat you like total dirt. The rest either just give you mercenary jobs or genuinely appreciate your help. Plus you really don't even fight that many Longbow soldiers.

I honestly just think folks don't enjoy playing the bad guy as much as being the good guy. A lot more people seem inclined to save the day, get the girl, be the hero, get praised, etc. as opposed to manipulating others, scheming, kidnapping and murder, and ruining lives.

You crazy people and your soda

The amount of whine and rage surrounding Staff Fighting is absolutely hilarious.

What's with these forums and crotches lately?

Anyway, yeah, the version Zombie dug up looks way better. Still looking forward to a trailer, though.

Night Ward is a bit unnecessary, when apparently the story is just "First Ward with ghosts." A few new mission maps could've easily done the same job without having to turn it into a new zone.

In my opinion, the devs need to hold off creating new zones for awhile, focus more on new maps since that's where all the action actually goes on (maybe give us those maps in AE so we can use 'em as well), and just start making new content that takes place in existing zones. Maybe even spruce up a visually lacking zone every now and again, like Skyway City or something.

It would also help to make zone events worth running more than once. Increase their rewards a bit. Like have Lusca dish out five or ten merits, or maybe two per tentacle and five for the head, considering she takes a generous amount of coordination and time to beat. Have preventing the Clockwork Paladin's construction give out ten merits, since there's a small window of opportunity to actually pull it off that often gets overlooked. Have the Ghost of Scrapyard dish out five merits, and maybe a bonus two merits if you defeat all of his Scrapyarders. I'm sure that'll really help get people more motivated to go out into the zones.

I understood. You'd like updates to old costume packs to incorporate new weapon sets. Would be really neat, and they have done updates to costume bundles in the past so it's not too far fetched either. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing the packs updated to include old weapon sets that weren't covered, as well. Like getting an old west Rifle for assault rifle, to name one example.

I didn't like First Ward, so I'm probably not gonna touch Night Ward. I kind of wish they'd continue with the quality and stories established in GR's 1-20 content than shoehorn us all into Resistance and kick us out of the city into some random barren wasteland.

Remember when the Enforcer set came out and you'd see so many Enforcers running around?

But I agree, I hate going to other MMOs, looking at the character creator and going "This is it?" I've seen so horribly dressed characters it's made my eyes bleed, and so many well dressed characters that I'd be down right jealous. I love that we have that level of diversity and creativity.

Thank Justice Fruit Pies!
