I think that the humor/serious balance is just right - there's something for everyone in the game.
-
I think that there should be an official sticky thread for reporting typos, like the known issues list, so it could be updated from time to time as new ones were found and old ones were fixed.

Was Human Tamer an MM? He really should have some human pets

Quote:I know - some people need to cut them more slackOriginally Posted by Xzero45
I hear a lot of people complain about Glacia and Infernia talking in that TF and it being annoying. Does anyone realize, though, that they've been stranded on an alien planet, in the middle of very people that massacred our Earth, among a very small group of humans who were more than likely being quickly killed or captured, and were forced to live on the run for about five years?
I'd be a bit chatty, too, if I were suddenly rescued and brought back to a safe place called home.

Quote:A mysterious woman had just cast a magic spell on me to let me breathe in space so that I could team up with a 100 year old guy with spider legs grownig out of his back to take down a guy who'd stolen the powers of another 100 year old guy, left a fleet of battleships hanging in the air over the Pacific, and created his own island to float up into space where he was going to merge with a mad god from another dimension - I didn't really notice the lack of reduced gravityOriginally Posted by FloatingFatMan
Wades Island. This is meant to be in space, so why is gravity at Earth normal? Very dumb. They should have at least reduced the gravity to a fraction of normal to make everyone super bouncy; very fourth wall breaking.

Quote:Bringing Scirocco into the Vindicators and moving Manticoe into Rogue/villaian terrirtory would be possible - although they've said that removing a patron would need even more work than removing Statesman from the game - plus, Manticore still shows up as part of the Phalanx in SSA2.Originally Posted by Organica
I understand the argument that "they'll never redeem Scirocco because of his usefulness plotwise" but a good writer wouldn't let something like that stop them from telling the right story. At the very least, they need to deal with his internal conflict one way or the other.
Redemption stories are some of the most powerful you can tell. I'd really like to see the redemption of one of the signature villains, or Recluse himself. -
Quote:Yes - but only after he's killed 2 major heroes, terroized 2 major world cities, vaporize several thousand American sailors, trashed a whole fleet, built a floating island to take him into space, and semi-merged with a world-devouring god - it's a level or two above a mayhem missionOriginally Posted by Kheprera
And not nerdraging for not being as powerful as Wade because... doesn't he get whupped with a healthy dose of Boot to the Head?

Quote:While DD does seem to be more heroic, I think it's interesting that his threat to send Ouroboros crashing into the sea in one of his letters, which he also repeats in the final DA cutscene, comes across badly when we actually see the citadel smashed in Mender Ramiel's arc - the way it's presented there makes it seem like a catastrophe, rather than an important victory.Originally Posted by Kurrent
His association with Ouroborous itself is a bit suspicious, too. I tend to believe the Dream Doctor much more than I do Mender Silos, and that extends to Silos's associates, including Prometheus.

Quote:Devs don't just hate vilalins - they taunt them tooOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
When a developer points to a systemic flaw in a game and makes fun of it, it's frustrating because he's part of the team that introduced the problem in the first place.

Quote:I'm surprised that there hasn't been more raging about not being allowed to become as powerful as Darrin WadeOriginally Posted by Ideon
Some people just won't be happy until they have an option to blow up the world which auto-deletes their character due to their character being permanently dead in the CoX universe.

Quote:They do plan quite far aheadOriginally Posted by Dante
Of course, all of this speculation is dependent on the writers having written the story that far ahead.

Quote:Originally Posted by Doc_Reverend
A thing to remember with Prometheus from mythology: he's a trickster and a liar. He's fooled the gods before. The stealing fire from the gods to give to humanity was the final straw and Zeus (y'know, Stateman's former incarnation?) chained him to the mountain with the eagle for it. Don't trust him.
That's technically what he's doing now - he's helping us "steal" power from the Well, which could imply that the Well iin some way connected to Zeus or other ancient gods. -
Quote:She had the power to protect you, you had the power to defeat Wade - multiple heroes teaming up and playing to their strengths to overcome a more powerful enemy is kinda standard comicbook storytellingOriginally Posted by Haetron
Im sure it will involve Penelope Yin and thus, will unbelievably suck.
Edit: Unbelievable isn't the right term. Cause given the nosedive the first SSA took, it's completely believable that it will suck. Sorry, Im not interested in stories where someone else "HAS THE AWESOME POWERS TO KEEP YOU ALIVE WHILE YOU DO GAME MECHANIC STUFF"

Quote:How villainousOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Moreover, finally having a villain admit to that particular kludge in City of Heroes storytelling strikes me as, finally, the ultimate betrayal of villainy.

Quote:I think it's more likely that she hopped into Penny's headOriginally Posted by SlickRiptide
The part of my brain that imagines all of the really ludicrous possible outcomes of all of this has been wondering about the possibility of Shalice mind-riding into Rularu when Wade is defeated.

Quote:I'm extremely suspicious about her death - there are several ways she could have survived, and I think she has quite a good chance of making a return at some point in the future.Originally Posted by Zombieluvr
Lady Grey was pretty surprised that both Statesman's and Psyche's powers left Wade and disappeared. States, I could see- went back to the Well. Psyche's? Maybe she isn't dead after all?
I was going for the Superman lookQuote:Originally Posted by Zombieluvr

Quote:They're part of his organization - he says so earlier on.Originally Posted by Hopeling
I thought it was very interesting that Michael's reactions were mentioned in Prometheus' dialog. I had figured he and Christy were throwaway NPCs, like every other merit vendor. It seems to be hinting at something more - I'd guess they're members of Prometheus' organization, whatever that is, and members important enough that their reactions to Prometheus' words are worth mentioning.
Taskmaster Gabriel in DA also seems to be one of them, going by his angelic look and name. -

So, not a bad ending. What's next for the SSA?

Quote:He's kinda desperate at that pont - we're wrecking his carefully laid plans, and it sounds like he's trying to buy time.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
In other words, he should not expected understanding from a hero, mercy from a villain, or anything from a universe he just tried to use a cheat code to.

...So, is the next SSA going to have the heroes give the villains a proper return thrashing?
Pretty please?
