Not when you team with many people running the mission. Used to be a running joke in the teams I ran with on Union in 2006 that he was always being kidnapped.

Kidnapping States was a repeatable mission for NPCs.

I thought that he spent more time imprisoned and needing his pals to rescue him - wasn't he being regularly imprisoned for years before he decided to hand out a TF?

In an effort to minimise the work required, part 6 of the SSA reveals that an entry requirement to the freedom phalanx was that the hero had to have an identical twin. Back Alley Brawler could easily be killed off and replaced by his twin brother Peter, who's currently working as a landscape gardener.

Expect them to sell a titan weapon garden implements pack with hoe, rake and strimmer.

Been thinking the same here - I'd hope that some form of phasing would come to other zones before too long and the signature arc timescale is hopefully long enough to give some dev time to it.

I'd guess that it would be a low level zone (as I'd personally go for gradually bringing in phasing from Atlas onwards). Kings' is so easy to skip (or quick to do) and only has that blue steel chappy, so I'd lean towards Skyway or Steel.

Single AT teams can be great fun.

And the odds against a random LFG-formed team/league being single AT increase as the number of people needed increase, but (afaik) it's still non-zero. Surely if single-AT teams were so so bad the devs would guard against them?
Heck - some of the trials needed (or at least ran smother with) some set AT/role requirements, but they were first to get the LFG queue. A lambda with only 1 tank and a shedload of blasters is hard in the collection phase, but afaik the queue lets it happen.

You can't blame the mobs - IRL most people resist hell of a lot if some stranger in fancy-dress runs up and holds their behind.

Sorry for the minor derail, but this reminded me: Has anything ever been said about underwater plans after the teaser in the cimerora caves?

If the devs would only stick a pogo travel power in the shop...

Hmmm - 7 letters...

Is it 'like cellars'?

Mine can be quite pongy - mainly as the cat's litter tray is down there.

I always thought that a nice hook if they ever wanted to explore the story of a non-humanoid form spreading and evolving across the universe.

I've always thought the two species probably related way back down the evolutionary tree. If Khelds bonded with humans and gorillas they'd look pretty similar but have very different abilities.

Alternatively, as gods do definitely exist in the CoX multiverse, maybe it wasn't evolution but creation - and The Creator just happens to like the squid and lobster forms as much as bipedal humanoids.

Always hoped that more forms would be added - it's a fun mechanic, but historically (don't know about recent months) khelds were never used enough to justify any dev time.

What's this talk of Vir? Pike was in Dad's Army.

Though it's Walker who'd be the gold farming spiv.

Or maybe just 33⅓

This strikes me as a great solution - don't stop freebies from being able to chat but give non-free players control over hearing them.

I bugged that it looked as if either data hadn't been stored or a rollback had taken place based upon character position changing for me and others.

Thought it worth bugging in case the devs didn't cause it/know about it already.

Just to clarify: this thread was started after the EU server crash at c.10:30 BST which (obviously) wasn't announced.

The EU servers came back up after something like 25-30 minutes and now we're on to planned maintenance downtime. I don't think it was general moaning about the amount of planned downtime (though there's been a fair bit of late).

I'd believe that if your whole existence wasn't a lie.

No - patch due at 12:00 BST for 6 hrs iirc - this is 90min early, seems to only be EU servers afaik and wasn't announced in-game.

Some sort of crash seems likely.

Now you know the secret to winning you're all set for X-Factor and Britains Got Talent.
