Basically same story here. Wanted to wait for staff to test the new stalker changes, cursed myself for holding out past DXP, made a claws/wp stalker, don't have much urge to get staff fighting. I may get it, but it's not going to be a must buy anymore.

TL;DR: Paragon you waited too long and releasing it after DXP was just insult to injury. (Masterminds didn't get a revamp I was aware of so BM could have waited to get staff stalkers going.)

I don't really care for Ms. Liberty and her not-a-villain mercenary group Longbow so I'd like to see her join the FP.

I'll admit I don't know much about Mirror Spirit but why would you want to curse anyone you might possibly like with being in that utterly dysfunctional and basically fail group?

So will Manti kill Penny in WWD#6 since SP never existed?

Not being able to arrest Wade in #2 is what really turned me off on the whole WWD. Statesman dying? My fault. Miss Liberty dying? My fault. Sister Psyche dying? My fault. Even if we weren't aware of who Wade was and what he was up to Monty didn't want him in the club. If you did know about his connection to Rularuu that is the bitter taste of ultimate defeat.

If at the press conference you had to answer "If you were dead wouldn't we be all better off, three great heroes still alive?" The only honest answer would be "Yes."

Insult to injury was doing the Lockhart arc in Steel Canyon.

I look forward to flying cars and commuting with a jet pack, I just don't expect them in my lifetime.

The only thing redside lost in WWD is Wade and while Vanguard may not be the day spa the Zig is he'll be sprung from his cell sooner than later.

Isn't AE rewards a T3 or T4 reward (with AE access in the previous tier)?

Nemesis didn't slot the Idiotball power in his version of the Phalanx, the Rikti had to fight a competent FP, though that means they should have realized something was up when they ran into the real FP.

"I say old chaps, we, your enemy, happen to be standing over here. You might want to point the one with sharpened sticks in this direction, he seems to be mistaking the backs of your uniforms for us. I hate to be a further bother but if you'd stop bickering for a moment we can take care of our business and be off to the next world."

I'll miss the "boot up" sequence of my WP tanker the first time, get nostalgic for it on the second, and by the third be wondering how I put up with having to retoggle a ton of powers every time I logged in on that character.

If you'd bother to play either of the Loyalist lines it's pretty obvious that 1) Tyrant isn't a "Loyalist" and 2) Loyalists aren't all that loyal to Tyrant.

So they are following the vigilante/villain Warden/Crusader story arc to its logical conclusion then.

That's the thing though, States hasn't done anything, nor has the FP, they don't save the world. They have saved the world but all they do in the present is walk into obvious traps and break stuff that the players are responsible for fixing.

I was waiting for staff melee to try out the new stalker changes but last week I gave in and made a claws/wp stalker which I now want to take another shot at DA with but I still have 9 levels to go.

In short, the wait has been too long (would have much rather had staff melee for DXP than Barky McBarkerson (I have nothing against BM or DC except for the lessons-not-learned-from-DS aspect)).

That's Vanguard's turf and blueside needs at last one competent organization around that's not out to conquer the world.

You're not truly unique in that aspect. Sure the FP were the big dogs but they've only done things, they don't *do* things in the current game world. They've saved the world before but I've been one of the heroes saving it now.

When the Rikti invade AP, my hero is out there fighting while Ms. Liberty just stands there looking pretty. My hero-hood isn't threatened by do-nothing quest givers.

I don't see how anyone could say the player didn't matter in SSA 1. Without your incompetence how could Miss Liberty, Sister Psyche (took two tries), and the big cheese himself, Statesman, get killed off?

Looking at it broadly you are to blame for everything after Synapse since you let Wade get away in #2. Monty didn't want him in his club and it totally wasn't suspicious having a known Rularuu nut (and ex-Midnighter) show up during a Rulu-shin attack (and not getting attacked by the attackers).

The player made all the difference in the world.
