Is this even true? I mean, let's look at the original batch of TFs.

In the Positron TF, you didn't even get to fight an AV at first, instead you just get to fight a Vahzilok EB at the end. Vahzilok himself shows up at the end of a normal story-arc, however.

In the Sister Psyche TF you fight Clamor, a Freakshow TF who doesn't even get mentioned outside the TF. Meanwhile Drek, the leader of the Freakshow, shows up way later in a normal mission.

In the Citadel TF you end up fighting Vandal, one of the more forgettable Council AVs together with Maestro (honestly, I never even found him outside the Council AV marathon in Viridian's arc) while the two big-shot AVs of the Council, Requiem and Nosferatu, show up in standard missions.

In the Manticore TF you fight the single most forgettable AV in the game whereas the actual CEO of Crey has a story-arc dedicated to taking her down, complete with a fight against her.

And at the end of the Numina TF, you fight some semi-generic Devouring Earth Monster. True, you don't exactly fight Hamidon himself solo, but he's the exception to the norm in that it takes about 50 supers to take him down.

The only time an actual villain group leader shows up in the original TFs is the Clockwork King in the Synapse TF, and even then you later fight a souped-up version of him in a later mission.

I'm not gonna get quite as detailed about red-side, so I'll just point out that short of Statesman and Sister Psyche, all members of the Freedom Phalanx show up in normal missions, too. Statesman actually shows up at the end of the VEAT story-line, too, but I guess that would also fit into Sam's pay-per-view thingy.

And as a final note, am I the only one who feels that the LGTF is rather tacked on at the end of the Vanguard storyline? At the end of Dark Watcher's arc you thwart Hro'Dtohz for the second time as well as stop a plan by Nemesis to enslave the Rikti Homeworld and ruin both worlds. Then in the LGTF I guess you just kinda keep the Rikti from rounding up a couple of psychics and at the end Hero 1 shows up because? Dark Watcher more or less finished up the Vanguard/Rikti storyline and the LGTF, well, I would say ties up a loose end in the form of Hero 1 showing up, but that wasn't even a loose end until it was specifically brought up in the LGTF.

TL;DR I guess the moral of the story here is that the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.

You're not supposed to take the elevator in the case of a fire and as a good little superhero you naturally oblige. Did you notice the doors with the stair symbol in front of the elevator rooms while going through the map? You gotta take the stairs for once.

Edit the second: Oh nevermind apparently you know about the stairs already. Anyway, there's a series of stairs leading further down, with plenty of rogue cops littered across the way, and at the very bottom you find your target. Then you need to walk him up to the exit. The first time I did this arc I not only missed two people, but I didn't lead him out in time before the building collapsed. Good thing I had a medi-porter, huh?

Edit the third: For what it's worth, I had no trouble getting Keith to join me, but then again I also did the villain arc first and that had the "use the radio to get secondary objectives" in every mission, so I was prepared for this.

I haven't finished reading the guide yet, but this sprang out to me. Last I checked, wasn't Inherent Stamina supposed to work with forms? Or did that get changed lately during beta.

Edit: Nevermind, later on you do manage Inherent Stamina in forms.

Remember the backlash when Positron said that there will be a nigh-zero tolerance policy to exploiters during the early days of AE? The higher-ups probably told the devs and GMs that they should just give everyone a light slap on the fingers because they don't want any bad PR.

That's what they said about buffalos and look where we are now!

What we need to is set up nature reservoirs where Paragon's endangered gangs of thugs can live free and undisturbed by people.

You know, if Accuracy got nerfed as often as people think it did, it would probably be impossible to hit anything by now.

edit: I know you're joking, I'm just making an observation here.

And can you give us a link that actually shows what you just said and it isn't just conjecture based on the single fact that a BAF raid will come out?

Out of curiosity, how do you feel about the merged monorails and ferries.

So you know that means the server is basically going to explode for no discernible reason on the night from Monday to Tuesday, right?
