Well, I've been reading through the threads and wearing out my brain working on Base issues (no, I'm not revealing our secrets yet!), so thought it was time for a fairly simple question.

What emotes do you want for your Villian?


I, for one, want a large gun that pops out a "Bang" flag.

Clearly a hint as to what's in Update #3 - Weeee!

I seriously doubt it. There has been no official announcement or preview on the website about what's in store for Issue 3 (both the previous issues had at least one preview web page created). Nothing for Issue 3 is on the training room server. There has been no pre-download of content files. All of this means that Issue 3 is still at least one month away, and probably two or three.

If this was a prelude to Issue 3, then it would have to drag out for a very long time, which would make the final release of the issue somewhat anticlamactic.

This is exactly why I made suggestions while Issue 2 was still in the Training Room that badges and kiosk stats should only be awarded if the hero gets XP/Influence for defeating the villain. This would not only help promote reverse sidekicking, but would also give MEANING to the badge. With the system as it is right now, heroes are more or less being rewarded for being bullies as they smash villains to pulp without the slightest chance for the villains to fight back. How heroic is that?
