I personally find it funny that there is only one arc where you seem to be in it for yourself rather than the arachnos, and that's Dean MacArthur's arc.

If we had more chains like THAT one, people would probably feel better. Similarly had more chains where you didn't fight Arachnos, Longbow and CoT. Legacy Chain, Wyrven, some Hero Corp stuff... these would all be welcome additions to the villian missions. Maybe some missions where you infiltrate Preatoria and help out the resistance blow stuff up to create mayhem that the Arachnos to take over.

As to reviving redside? Honestly, part of it has been said previously. But one thing would be to make a few TF's with either ambiguous or pure villianous goals in mind that are open to both sides.

Also the removal of the required mayhem missions for contacts. Mayhems are nice once in a while, but sometimes you don't want to have to blow up 12 cars, fight off 100 PPD and a hero, just to talk to some dink who's begging for money.

Oh, and removing the hidden contacts from being hidden.


And this is just personal but, I don't feel that Arachnos should be such an all pervading force as representatives of the entirety of villiandom (as they are potrayed now). Maybe as basic arbitrators within the Isles, but having them be as obscenely overused as they are now is just annoying. 1/4th of my contacts should not be directly connected to one single organization for the villians. I should be able to be more of a free contractor to work with Council, Column, Malta, Knives, Carnies, Mooks, Family, Sky Raiders (there's a crew that you DEFINITELY should work for, not against as a villian)... heck maybe even hellions and Skulls at really low levels. Maybe throw in a few of the "morality" choices during these arcs where you have an opposing group that you're about to attack and mop the floor with offer you more Inf or whatever to join them.

And I suppose that's one thing that could help out with the villany. Show us SOME benefit of pulling off successful heists or making that million dollar paycheck. People try to say that we're in it for ourselves, but how can we do that if we don't receive anything. I understand that it's a balance issue if you make it like a monetary thing (you get 3 trillion inf for managing to wipe out an arachnos op or whatever) but little things would be nice (maybe have a "banker" call you every so often and explain exactly how your money is doing until he just steals your money and flees or whatever).

Just out of the blue from a person who has little experience with Kheldians:

Why not make it so that Cosmic Balance is actually a balancing act? When you're solo it gives a base buff to everything (not HUGE but enough to notice), but as you team it provides the buffs it currently does at the current rate, while dropping the opposite by a slightly smaller amount.

So you join a team with a tank, your damage jumps but you're now squishier than you were.

You know, given history (namely that BAB was going to be the KR trainer, until they added Galaxy City) I'd have expected that if they were going to kill anyone they'd kill Blue Steel. Only to have him come back in some sort of ultimate culmination storyline where he literally blows a hole in the ground and rips apart 100 clockwork like a hot knife through butter.

Not a duck

Let's put it this way, there's a wall

Stalker phases through the wall
Scrapper quickly jumps over it in 2 bounds
Brute charges through the wall
Blaster blows the wall up, and walks through the debris
Dominator grabs something near by and uses it to carry himself over (like a jet-board or whatever)
Mastermind has his minions carry him over
Defender beats the wall, heals themselves, beats it more, then politely asks the brute (who's spitting out brick from his teeth) to knock over the wall, and gives him a boostie to make it go faster.
Controller disassembles the wall with his mind, walks through, and reassembles it
Tanker slowly climbs over the wall, ending by falling off the top, then he punches a random hellion who got to close
Soldiers of Arachnos "borrow" an arachnos flyier to get around the wall
Corruptors blow up the wall, then apologize for their action

Donno about kheldians. They'd probably laugh, then fly over it, burrow under it, and phase through it, just to see the looks on bystanders faces.

I can't believe I forgot this but

The whole Countess Crey arc. Where end up going (the first time) "Wait... She's? Wha? Who? WTF IS GOING ON!?" in relation to the whole situation.

Seer Marino is one of the better arcs.

I always liked Reverent Hero Project. I don't remember to many arcs overall simply because I've been in and out of the game so much, but learning the back story of the PP's always sends a small shiver down my spine.

Also, I always liked the light hearted sense of fun that you found in playing the Aeon arc. "What? WE'RE LIVE!?"

Part Two is up.

... I get the feeling resistance members should be screaming "FOR KHORNE!" in this thread.

I just loved the changing character traits between novels in Star Wars. One book Luke is trying to avoid killing ANYTHING and in another he's slaughtering his way through his opponents.

Here's an interesting one I found.

A power rangers season done with the same simple yet sophisticated storytelling as the 90's batman would be friggin sweet.

And half the reason the acting was so bad early on was because the actors were martial artists. Except Bulk and Skull who are just awesome (seriously, go watch their con panels on youtube. Jason Narvy runs off on a tangent about Shakespeare between talking about how he got his job by being a jerk, and Paul Schrier talks about having to take a break from working on hello kitty to work on the Forever Red episode)

I think you could make the first one fairly easily, although to warn you it won't be exact. I know the head is EASILY doable with the current costume system (or at least it used to be) not so sure about the others.

And for the weapon you'll have to compromise for a rapier methinks

Actually, the ESRB may end up stepping in and removing some of their little bonuses from the forums and worst/best case scenario is that the ESRB could pull the rating or bump it to M (either way it'd probably be a death knell for their system)
