    Ah... all right. That's where I got confused.

    Oh... you mean where I had to make sure my own spring attempt succeeded by rescuing Operative Jenkins and planting the bomb to destroy the radar myself. Yeah.

    Seriously, with that half-***** effort, I could have done it all by myself without their intervention.

    We already have 2 sets of regular joes with guns so what would make pirates special other than the looks?
    Perhaps if they had cutlasses instead, matey?

    First Mate. As the Mastermind yourself, you should be in the role of Captain.

    Pfft. I don't need Arachnos to be recognized as a high level threat. I've proven that time and time again. I've regularly stomped numerous Arachnos thugs into the dirt just because they get in my way far too often. I've come to term them as Not-Longbow.
  8. I vote for unburied dead. Such are my goals for this imperfect rock.
  9. My disapproval has been noted. After an experience like today with teaming, my desire for that super-sidekicking feature grows ever so more.
  10. Arachnos and 5th Column in Boomtown, as well as some kind of Hollows/Faultline style revamping of the whole zone. Seriously, Reichsman's free, the Column's back, and Recluse allegedly has interest in the area. The actual zone should reflect this.

    Also, more Arachnos (hero side) and 5th Column (both villain and hero side) story arcs.

    to sum up:
    Agatha Christie=Good
    Needlessly confusing TV island show = Bad.
    Psst. The secret of the island is time travel.
  12. Stuff I haven't done on whatever character I'm playing yet. That means "late game" is highly variable.

    Since 'real' missions generally end when you complete the objective, I stealth to the end, click the glowie....and suddenly find out I'm supposed to defeat all. On a three level office map.

    GRR.

    I'm not morally opposed to 'kill alls', unless they're in a giant old-time cave with tons of crevices for that one wandering minion to wander off and get stuck in. But I really hate backtracking, and its is profoundly annoying when these kinds of things get sprung by surprise.

    I Ragequit(tm) on the spot and logged in one of my other characters to calm my nerves with a spot of farming.
    Heh, that's why I usually kill everything on the way to the glowy anyway. There's always a 15% chance that what you described is going to happen.

    We need something to represent the mutation origin. Mercs are Nat, Ninja's are Nat or Mag, Thugs are nat, Zombies are mag tech or sci and Robots are tech or sci. I would say put in some sort of spiky monsters. They could either represent mutations or aliens. Think about the Aliens movies, Tyranids, Tyrant from Resident Evil. We need monsters.
    My Mercs/Pain Mastermind is a mutant. The concept is that she uses her mutant pain abilities to prod her minions to do her dirty work.

  16. The Banished Pantheon of Peruvian Gods of the Jerk Hackers told me so.
  17. So I Googled "skul" to see what I'd find and something came up. What the heck is this? Seriously... the shame of stealing a competitor's injoke for your own game. It isn't enough that they have "Leeeeroooy," but now they're stealin' our skuls. Next they'll be taking our GONE TO THE AMERICANS too.

    Oh my... won't you be screwed when they turn out to be fast-moving zombies.
  19. Last I checked, mine was still gray.
  20. @Scythus1. Give me a ring if you want to pull together something.
  21. Say... has anyone run into that "Kill 15 Circle of Thorns" mission that recommends looking for them in Boomtown and Faultline? Funny... the Circle never was in Boomtown, and they moved out of Faultline ages ago.

  23. Next you'll be feeling sympathy for vampires.
  24. Nope. Haven't had any lately. Things are running smoothly again.
