BlackSun17

A bit of a black eye for the game, having this happen just after the server issues on 2XP weekend.

Hopefully it is fixed and pushed to live later this week.

Thanks for the response D_R - when the system lets me, I will change your rep. Feel free to send the link too.

And based on your past efforts, I would be surprised if anyone randomly badmouthed you.

Have a great day!

For whatever reason, this 2XP event seemed much less populated to me. Played at many different times on Sat and Sun, and never experienced the populations that I had seen with prior 2XP events.

Interesting - I have to check that out....

TY for sharing the con news with us forumites!

HBD too!

It's hard to get excited over an issue that contains no new content.

'Other features to be announced.'

I remember plenty of other Issues where people have said 'there has to be more than this', but this is the first time I've seen them actually SAY so.

So, we know for a fact there's more to I16 than two eagerly anticipated player-demanded features and a whole heap of power proliferation.

No, they've said 'Other features to be announced.' in many other issues. The thing is that the initial press release has the vast majority of the features and the stuff announced later is minor in respect.

Have to say based on history usually this is the case.

But history really hasn't mattered lately.

I hope history is wrong in this case. It would be a tough pill for me to swallow if the only dev created mission content for 2009 was the TF and SF from issue 15.

At least, I can not think of any other dev created mission content from the last two updates. Did I miss any???

There's no notes concerning the Barracuda Strike Force final encounter.

TY to everyone for the responses. Not what I expected to hear, which makes me even happier that I asked.

Off to play with Mids some more....

45% to all positional def is what all /sr scrappers need

Sooo...you are saying I should take sets that give +defense as a set bonus?

I finally got around to getiing my first level 50 toon all IO'd out. He is a claw / super reflex scrapper, and is a ton o' fun to play. Having learned from all the villains I have IO'd out, my goal is to maximize one or two set bonuses on my revised scrapper build.

My first thought is to aim for +damage. I figure I can get around +28% damage via the sets I slot. I would be very happy with that.

I figured that this build does not need +recharge, which seems to be the set bonus most folks lean towards. Building up +resistance bonuses does not seem to work too well, but I may have missed something.

Any scrapper-gurus have an opinion on this?

But the holes in this story are so big it'd be like if Superman suddenly forgot who Lois Lane even was and then got down on one knee and proposed to Perry White.

Knowing Silver-age Superman... That's probably the story on a couple of comics in the 60ies...

This is the cover to the issue after Superman proposes to Perry

Welcome to the forums!

Thank you for this news - it helps to eliminate some of the questions floating around the game. The merit increase agrees with my 'feel' to what is an appropriate award.

ALso, thank you for branching out to create a 'non-traditional' final battle. I hope that this is expanded to other future parts of the game.

Finally, thank you for making some villain content that makes the heroes a wee bit jealous!

Matt Miller: First off we didn’t want a “Co-op” Task/Strike Force. My goal was to give the villains a Strike Force where they get a pay day, and that the hero version was not simply the same story from the hero side. I think we succeeded, and the Hero Task Force plays as kind of a “sequel” to the Villain one. And the first time you play the Strike Force you do get a large sum of Infamy added to your villain’s bank account!

Could someone confirm that the part I bolded is true?

I am in.

You people and your trick questions.

Mind you, I've never been to London, so I'm totally guessing.

If you ever get a chance, go there. London rocks.

Arc #77533, "Kung Fu On The Loose"
tl;dr: 1 star: Offenses: legion

Reviewed on: 6/8/2009
Level Range: 1-54
Character used: Dr. Solaria/Liberty

You're at home watching your televsion (the Contact) when you drop the remote and there's a blinding flash. That's the intro for the first mission...OK.... Entering the mission puts you in a woodland scene from a kung-fu movie you were just watching. You are to defeat Master Gi and find a container of white rice, according to the nav bar. Thanks to a plethora of Super Reflexes and Willpower mobs everything has a huge agro radius. All of the mobs are turned up to Hard or Extreme. The same goes for the next mission, which has an Elite Boss for its Big Bad. In the end the whole thing was just a dream.

There is no story, never mind a theme, just a pile of unfun, tedious mobs to fight. Skip it.
