I have two problems: the first one is that I attended public school and likely can't read very wel, because if I had, it might have helped the second problem: having to team at all.

I DESPISE having to team. I don't MIND teaming when I want tobut I HATE (can't put it more strongly then that without being censored) being forced to. And any time I get a mission that boils down to needing two teammates just to disarm bombs or in this case needing to recruit a villain just to click the glowie, it's ridiculously annoying. I had CLEARED the map before finding out I needed a villain partner and then had to clear it again. I don't play for hours at a time--I got too many other things to do. I like to go in, do a mission or two and get out. 90 minutes, tops. So having to go throgh the same mission twice just to click on ONE damn glowie is slow torture. Besides, I'm antisocial. I don't like teaming in general and feel that the game should be able to be played ENTIRELY SOLO at the player's discretion. One of the most famous superhero characters of all time is exactly the same--Batman. He wouldn't team with Superman, Aquaman, Flash and the rest of the JLA if he didn't have to (heck, he mostly does it to keep an eye onthem, kinda like Bush and the Patriot Act). He can go just fine on his own. And IF he chooses to have someone along, he'll call Robin or Nightwing before he asks for Green Lantern or Plastic Man.

Needless to say I'm cranky because I'm overly tired, and I'm overly tired because I'm stuck waiting to recruit a villain at 5:30 am my time to shoot something I was literally standing on top of but wasn't allowed to touch.

But I'm SURE Jack think's it's FUN. And ultimately, stroking his ego with a tube of petroleum jelly is all the game is about anyway.

Every time you summon you'll have to buff as necessary. So if your henchmen die or simply need to be resummoned once you enter or exit a mission (though honestly that just seems like lazy programming to me that they can't follow and have to be resummoned over and over) you have to re-equip. The word "PERMANENTLY" is misleading in that way. They are permanently equipped--the buff/upgrade doesn't wear off--as long as they live! Once they're gone and resummon, not so permanent. That help?

That's right.

I'm guessing Statesman will make some kind of apologetic post within the next 24 hours ... with a further statement about how he's most happy with defenders as they stand. And yes, he even understands how certain sets are perceived as underperforming. But, rest assured, the devs have their eyes on the situation.

You forgot the aprt where Jack spouts his all-knowing tripe about what is FUN. WE apparently have no idea what FUN is. He controls the vertical. He controls the horizontal. He controls the fun. If not for the filters on the board, I'd give him both barrels.
