An interesting idea, and could possibly open the door for "man on the street" missions depending on how it's done.

Sadly, I don't see it happening without a complete revamp of the contact network both sides (and blueside needs one badly), and despite wanting one so bad I'm not sure how likely it is to happen.

Said it before, I'll keep saying it until the devs listen: Warshade Mastermind.

It's been mentioned elsewhere (or in this thread, haven't read all of it), but there is definitely an issue with toggles dropping. I just lost Unyielding (an entirely defensive toggle) on my Invuln while fighting Sky Raiders. Had no clue why I was suddenly getting knocked down until I took a look at my tray.

So right now, the infamous Info Terminals are nonfunctional because...well, I'm not really sure why, but my theory is that they were disabled because they were silly and no one used them. Anyway, they're dead, and could use a new function.

The game currently tracks at least the following statistics for character, each linked to civilians whose names begin with the letter:
E - Official Real Time (based upon where Cryptic is located)
F - Official Paragon City Time (in-game time)
G - Number of heroes in the current zone you are in
H - Lists random names of other heroes in current zone
M - Gives total time played, for current hero, since hero creation
N - Number of times you've logged into the game with current hero
O - How long you've been logged in today with current hero (seems buggy though, resets after every indoor mission)
J - gives statistics on how many times you've used a power today.
K - gives statistics on how much damage you have dealt with your powers today.

(Note: I copied this list from GameFAQs, first place I knew where to find it. It's certainly very out of date, as some civilians will now only say "Nice day, huh?")

Problem: Sometimes it's a real pain to hunt down the civilian you want. I once found myself wondering if Sharkhead even had any civilians whose names started with M.

Solution: Use Info Terminals to relay this and similar information! There are other ways to get some of the information in this list (i.e., real time, number of heroes in-zone) but it would be cool to see it consolidated in a single area. One addition I'd really like to see is creation date for the character you're playing. I have a lot of characters who have gathered dust for a while at low levels before I picked them back up to play again, and it would be interesting to see how long it's been.

I don't recall villains having any info terminals of their own, but it shouldn't be too difficult to come up with an Arachnos version.

If you're really getting mezzed that much, you should pack more Break Frees. They exist for a reason. Alternately, adjust your tactics to take out known mezzers first before they can inflict their wares upon you.

Another option: give every enemy wiffle bats so we don't get hit at all.

Have to say, I'm a little disappointed that these alternate Clockwork look more generic than Prime Clockwork. Now it's just a cyborg dude.

IT'S THE COMING STORM!!!

And people said the devs hate CoV...

Looks cool...except that face. That gawdawful face.

Shame I can't have the whips from the upcoming Demon Summoning then...at least then I might feel like I was somewhat in charge.

I should add, I'm a MM vet twice over now with a Bots/Dark at 50 and Thugs/Pain at 48 (among a couple other lowbies). Even at their zaniest my Bots never reached this level of frustration (the aggro-soaking Thugs Arsonist and pre-fix Hurl-spamming Bruiser came close...). My beef isn't so much with them not doing what I want to do - on even ground they kill things fine, but like I said movement has been extremely iffy. I've never seen MM pets in Mayhems leap onto ledges in order to kill an enemy that's standing right in front of them on the ground. I've had pathing issues with the pets before, but never so bad as I've seen with zombies. From the sound of it, I guess it's due to them being primarily melee. Hopefully upgrades and future pets will improve performance...

Aside from a few lowbie forays, I16 is my first time playing Necromancy (flamming zumbeez!!). It's been fun so far, except for the AI - I've been having issues. Most noticeably on my first Mayhem, which resulted in my zombies leaping up onto building ledges when I command them to attack my target. They also seem to have trouble on warehouse maps with those corners that have stairs leading up to a platform (hope that made sense, it's hard to describe). Once they get up onto the platform they have a very hard time following me back down.

Is it my imagination? Has I16 messed with henchman AI? (Haven't really tried my other MMs yet, aside from a very chaotic MITF on my Bots/Dark.) Or is it just the built-in frustration of the Necromancy set?

How do these work now? Do you have to be the team mentor in order to get any credit?

I still don't see how this would be any different from being able to turn off other people's costumes. I've seen plenty of awful costumes, been on teams with them. If you can deal with bad costumes you can deal with bad colors.

Huzzah! Awesome timing!
