You want the Villain ATs to turn out like the Kheldians? I sure don't.

I absolutely do. Given Khelds are some of my favourites to play, and that they're *planned for release villainside next.*

[/ QUOTE ]

Alright, I'll give you that. I know folks who think they're fun, and that's good that people actually have fun playing them.

But at the same time, a considerable portion of the community doesn't like to play them because they didn't seem to have any particular dedicated role. When I build teams, I generally go for the primary archtypes first, very rarely do people seek out Kheldians first when others are readily available.

hmm, I10's update isn't including anything huge in it, so i'm guessing that it shouldn't be too long until it's released.

[/ QUOTE ]

One could certainly hope. At any rate, it shouldn't require quite as much raw data mining/testing as Issue 9.

Ok... this looks very cool. But it seems in all these updates, something is missing... hmm.. what could it be?

Perhaps POST-50 VILLAIN ATs?!?! I've been waiting forever, and it can't be THAT hard to develop them!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it is, actually. In nearly EVERY interview with the devs posted to any kind of gaming site, they're asked about Villain ATs, and the response is always that the development of a new AT is the most time and resource consuming of ANYTHING they could reasonably do, which is why it's usually scrapped for the other content in the issue.

You want the Villain ATs to turn out like the Kheldians? I sure don't.

In fact, it'd be NICE if the villains got some well planned, thought out, epic archtypes that made up for our poor epic powers...

Whatever the "dark secret" that the teaser hints at, I bet you dollars to doughnuts in involves them.

My money is on who's behind the renewed attacks and leading the charge. I'm just speculating here, but I smell the subversion of a hero who was supposed to be our savior as being a major contributor to the Rikti's new upgrades.

And if that's the case, odds are the new Rikti are an uncomfortable blend of both technology and magic.

This would conveniently explain how they've managed to break through the magical barrier to our world that was erected after the first invasion.

And it would probably solve the "Where's all the magic salvage?" issue.

No, Hero 1, we love you so... Don't do it!

Were this the case, I wonder how it is that the Rikti would have managed to coax Hero 1 (Or any of Team Omega) to their way of thinking?

If this is true, what will I do with my Hero 1 wallpaper?

...My villains, on the other hand, are all eager to take down the man who stopped the Rikti.

All I can say is WOW! WOW! WOW!

Then I wonder if the new movie deal that they got is going to be on the original invasion or this new one and if it's about this new invasion, if there be a contest or some such so a player toon will get featured in the movie ;-)

Eh? What's this about a movie?

:drool:

I'm a sucker for storyline, and I can't WAIT for this to begin.

However... I'd be thrilled if they'd initiate character transfers sometime soon. All my heroes are over on a server I hardly play anymore. Can't team with my friends using my heroes unless I can transfer 'em to Freedom.

LOVE the max level SF/TFs. Can't wait!
