Golden Girl

There have been some graphical changes to Mercy Island

They got some art resources

The devs would be made to realize very quickly that that was a bad move

That would be even more unfair - red side only deserves 40% of all development time and resources

The majority of people like playing heroes rather than villains - so the only way the devs could attract them over to the red side to try and even out the populaiton split sould be to make the red side content more heroic.

Not after the unfair 50-50 mission content revamp
That 20% difference was made up for by a 70-30 split for the graphics revamp

That's hardly suprising with that background

Just like the devs - which is why they spent over a year on the Atlas Park revamp - they put the most time and resources into the revamp that would be seen by the most players.
Atlas and Mercy got a 50-50 resources split for the mission content revamp - but for the graphical updates, which take way longer to do, they split the resources in a more realistic way to reflect the population sizes of each faction.

The truth can be painful for evildoers

You sound like a paranoid supervillain

From what I've seen of the red side zones that are used as mission maps for blue side content, and in the PvP zones, they do have a distinctive style - which is actually superior to some of what we have on the blue side - for example, the winding strets and crumbling gothic buildings in Bloody Bay are much more atmospheric than the street grid and standard apartment blocks in Croatoa.

That's an interesting use of the word "completely" there

As far as new red side zones go, that's only ever likely to happen now if blue side gets a new zone at the same time - and rather than use all that time and all those resources on making 2 new zones, it's way more likely that's well get new co-op zones instead.
And as for zone revamps, it's also possible that some of the less used blue side zone scould be revamped as shared zones, but not co-op zone s- using the new phasing tech in I21 could mean that a zone could be shared by both sides, but neither side could see the other, so that'd avoid the need for PvP, and the need to make the storyline and missions heroic like normal co-op content is.

Didn't someone try that after the Hamidon Wars?

The stats they gave us for the 7th anniversary.

And the devs still insist on givng us a even 50-50 split for all new content, meaning that the blue side is getting 10% less that it deserves, and red side is getting 10% more than it deserves.
Hopefully in future Issues the devs will give us a fairer split to reflect the population sizes of the 2 factions, instead of treating them both equally.

In a recent superhero MMO than launched in January and crashed so hard they merged the servers in August, heroes and villains had the same amount of content, and shared the same zones - but the population wasn't split anywhere near 50-50 - the majority chose to play as heroes.

Shouldn't you have scratched that with picture writing on stones and then thrown them through our windows rather than using the internet?

A few days over 6 months old?

I hope you're not trying to say that the blue and red sides have an evenly matched population level

I'd like a physical Judgement attack - like Nova Fist or Foot Stomp - or if they prefer to make it a ranged AoE attack, then some kind of body slam/shoulder charge like Shield Charge.

But until that happens, my Judgement slot will remain unfilled

Spandex, capes and masks are the default style for Heroes - that's why it's the style that gets mentioned by some of the enemy groups in connection with what our avatars are wearing

The patterns on the models are the same as the ones in the concept art, and are in the same places on their clothing.

It doesn't fit with those either

There's no end to the Incarnate system - Positron has said that players will always be chasing the next big thing.

Especially now that First Ward is building her up to be as big a monster as Tyrant - and there's still the possibility we'll need to fight and defeat the Hamidon too, to prove to the Well that we're superior to its current champion - the Underground Trial kinda sets that up as a possible future showdown.
