Agent White

A different problem, but sort of a silly/annoying one.

Anyone tried using Seed Membranes in conjunction with pets? Ran my necromancer through First Ward to get the badge for killing different seedlings. Worked.. okay? but using the membrane for the group fly *really* screwed up their pathfinding. Unless I was directing them to attack a specific target, whenever they were 'idling' they all just flew off in different directions for no apparent reason >>

Yeah I don't see any good reason why LRT doesn't allow teleport to any non-level gated area on a given side (like The Hive being 45+).

Maybe that was the problem? Some trick of the level gating code, since old hazard zones were.

Not sure if it was an error for just me or if the change has gone un-announced but I took a peak at the market and the Autumnal Path aura was priced at 80 points instead of the initially advertised 120, no discount or anything, just a flat 80.

actually I'm fully expecting the next SSA to take place *inside* Sister Psyche's psyche. Think like the Praetorian mission you go inside the Seer's psyche to eliminate the shadow of Tilman.

honestly either fits. Origins are pretty flexible in general.

what was the talk about the sewer trial?

I also certify that I am at least 13 years of age and am eligible to participate in this contest.

The New Hero Tryouts always draws a crowd, just not one that gives high scores.

Uh, yeah I'm going to call foul, because women are not the only ones dying tragically lately, and in fact it's kind of sexist just to zero in *solely* on the female deaths.

The Ghoul King was murdered by Calvin Scott early in the First Ward arc, a character in the final Crusader arc in Praetoria the players helped elevate back to human intelligence and forge an alliance with the resistance.

Cerulean is a member of the Carnival of Light fighting against the evils in First Ward before breaking off with the Carnival of War to take a more proactive approach and ending with being corrupted by the Talons of Vengeance so he has to be put down by the player.

And there's Master Midnight (Praetorian Percy) who sacrifices himself in the end to stop Diabolique from being consumed by Selene in a last act heroism after doing so much evil.

And that's just First Ward.

As was said, Statesman doesn't have many close male friends/relatives and the point of killing Miss Liberty was to get Statesman and Manticore involved in the encroaching plot web, as explicitly stated in the end of the 2nd SSA. It only feels pointless because due to lack of development we feel little about the specific character, we've only seen her once prior (and that's only in one Ouroboros Flashback Taskforce Villainside) and unless we're well versed in the lore we don't really know much about her. It's tragic for Statesman, which is pretty much the whole point. Definitely not a case of WIR. Which btw people are including Seer Katie in, who has explicitly *not* been killed.

That's just the fundamental flaw in playing villains. If you want to make your own villainous plans your only option is going to be AE. There's no way that they can make the game open ended enough to let you 'formulate' your own plans, so you're always going to be the errand boy in someone else's plan. You'll be the lynchpin in it, but otherwise you'll never really be the actual mastermind behind a plan without the devs putting words into your mouth and making you act a specific way, which we've already seen with Graves that people really despise when they try (mostly because they've shown they can't do it well XD)

Even if they did put you in the seat you wanted, people would complain "That's not how *my* character would do this plan" Or they wouldn't be satisfied with the outcome (Think the cloning facility arc).

Yeah i got the impression he wanted her to read him to spring something on her.

And keep in mind, he's a fairly powerful psychic on his own. Trying to read him is probably pretty difficult if it doesn't just turn into a Scanners type struggle for control (possibly with Scanners-style head poppage).

Still waiting to get a villain up to 30 to run this.

I have to say, I'm kind of disappointed with how short this is. They seem to be compressing them more and more. I didn't mind the first's length so much as I just hated the "GO GO GO" timers and "OMG AMBUSHES". Mission 1 was about as bad as mission 1 in episode 2 villainside. "Ok, got the glowy and... oh mission over. Really? that wasn't even 5 minutes".

Heroes get to learn that too :P

Also, if the devs are going to put up these nifty little splash art pages then they need to be sure the art DOES NOT SPOIL WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE YOU EVEN START.

Statesman staring in grief at shots of x-rays and a body on a slab with a toetag. Gee, that's not absurdly obvious that someone close to him is dead.

the day that you cannot play this game successfully with a peep fully slotted with SOs (and hami-Os if inclined) is the ay it becaomes 'pay to win'. til then, its a convenience buy for folks that won't (or cannot) earn them easily in game.

SSA 3 live tonight. coo, enough for me. curious what the aura is. Have to kinda agree, I don't get quite why 'path' auras have to be any more expensive than normal auras. Curious what it's gonna be though.

I don't see why giving Heros patron pools would require them to use every member of the Freedom Phalanx. Just match it 4 for 4, tada, no gripes except from the people that want it all unlocked for everything or the folks on the opposite side that get envious.
