  1. Well, people should keep in mind that these are Task Forces with a soloable option. They were designed with a team in mind, but you're able to solo them at your own risk.
  2. Not every hero or villain can look drop dead gorgeous. Sometimes there's a Quasimodo or Count Orlock for every few thousand characters with flawless looks.

  4. I think it's one of those issues that the devs selectively ignore, sort of like the Seer Marino waypoint bug or the Tsoo Coup level slip.
  5. Ha ha... this is so awesome. I can finally make the disembodied brain supervillain I created as a child.
  6. But then you'd have to remove the existing hunt missions and no one in this game likes it when things are removed.

    You'd be correct. Crimson does not fear the name of Malta.

    If story progression requires level progression, then eventually an intended story addition will run into either the top end of the desired faction or factions' level range or the level cap itself. E.g. we have the current Rikti War storyline, if we want to advance that so that, say, Vanguard pushes through the portal and takes the fight to the Rikti homeworld we can't do it because there is nowhere for it to go. The current storyline takes place at the level cap so we've got no level progression left to use. Either the level cap has to go up to make room -- which is wagging the dog and causes more problems than it solves -- or we just cram it in there and to hell with whether or not it makes sense or how badly it breaks the existing material. Which is what the devs have been doing, bringing us to:
    Well, that could possibly be crammed in for the so-called "solo Incarnate" arcs that they're allegedly working on for a future issue.

    But that brings up a good point. With Manticore the Dev gone, who is driving the story bus right now? Positron? War Witch? Black Pebble?
    Protean.

    Y'know, that is really starting to annoy me. So far with the additions of the clone arcs, then the Roy Cooling/Vincent Ross arcs, and now First Ward, which, put together are all 20 - 30, the 30 - 40 stretch is starting to look very, very barren.
  11. Sometimes some men just want to see the world burn.

    As pointed out earlier in this thread, the dialogue explains this: They took a wrong turn and got stuck.

    Indeed, I never saw those eye details or those cultist masks before. If Xanatos can show where they are in the CC, I'll eat these words.

    If it had been one or two rare spawning mobs in Atlas/Mercy spotted since i20, yeah maybe. But this...yeah it doesn't fly.
    I think you need to wander around the Midnight Club and start clicking random objects, because "sudden" they are not.

  16. There's an alarming shortage of macros depicting a train derailed from hitting a dead horse. I demand someone makes one.

How DO you put makeup on a ghost, anyway?
    Actually, that's not her lipstick, that's the shading from the curvature of skin that leads up to her lip.

    And yet Axis Amerika is plastered with 5th Column banners.

    Also, there's a 5th Column banner in Council Empire Earth that didn't get replaced.

    That's nice to know, at least. That it's being worked on, I mean.
