The map is corrupt and no matter how many times I log back in, I just crash soon as I step in the door.

    The same thing happened on the next map. And the next one. I finished the TF by playing in safe mode, when my computer doesn't normally bat an eyelash at playing on maxed-out ultra. Seriously, what the hell?
    Doctor response: Don't play it at maxed out Ultra.

    Nevermind that Ballistas are very... ahem... formidable EBs.

    How would you even KNOW that? I'm beginning to suspect that you secretly play villainside.

    in the past it use too take planning on what contacts you wanted to get certain badges for accolades and most of the times multiple deaths getting exp loss so you didn't miss a certain contact .


    the way contacts where set up you would miss some missions unless a friend had them ...which was a good thing.

    social interaction,teaming,challenge,missed content.

    issue 11 ruined that .

    it made things easy

    it made the content worthless because you could hit 50 and go threw all the arcs and get rewarded with "oreo badges".

    no longer was there any planing on what contacts you would hit up ,or discussions with missions or challenge in any way it made badgering worthless ...now getting badges are just a number back then it was "oh wow how did they get that".

    and this is just with "issue 11" i have had gripes all the other issues all the way up till issue 17 but with the other i don't have a deep a gripe because in all actually not much has been really added to the game far as content the one good thing though with issue 17 is they have excellent mission arcs .

    "edit: i know task force's have been added ,but i don't consider that content same goes with AE i don't consider that content either the on going game lore didn't progress fan fiction doesn't count"

    for the record

    i'm just saying the quality of life couldn't be better ,in fact it maybe too good !

    now if development would work issue's that revolve around something that resembles a comic book and do that for atleast 10-12 issues i would be happy.



    ^ fateweaver/hero corp worked just fine before the change



    it helps high level solo farmers ,it has no use for a low level ...what's a level 10 gonna do solo versus a mission set for +8 ....i'll tell ya ,nothing but cuss



    so hows the teaming going ?

    was the game better before or after all these fancy changes?

    i would go with before ,but that's just me



    that's your prerogative and i respect that.

    but i have an opinion and that was what this thread was about so i thought to contribute .

    if you don't want to read my comments feel free not to read my run on sentences

Has anyone else experienced this?
    No.

    On defeat all maps this is really a time sync now. Saturday i was so frustrated i logged out the contact i was running had many such maps. I dont feel i should have lower diff to -1, 1 to finish a contact or use 3 times more the play time that i used pre-i17.

    Hope this is fixed soon
    Curious, were you fighting Lost by any chance? The Lost already have had a case of wanderlust and it has gotten a little worse.

    Now that I think about it, Crey and Rikti have also had that same problem.

    I suppose it would depend on the character.

  15. Champion too, apparently.

    On an unrelated note, why are GMs unable to see your tell responses? I replied twice to a GM over a problem I had and he couldn't seem to see my responses. Oddly enough, this happened just about ten minutes before the server crash. Coincidence or connection?
  16. I see nothing wrong here. He's just in an older comic book before they invented laser printers and everything was colored with dots.
  17. Oh geez... that sounds terrifying. I'd be pissed off if that happened to me.

  20. That settles it... I want the 1960s Arachnos costumes as costume options for VEATs. They look so damn stylish.

    Here's your mistake, you're in an argument with GG.

    Others have already tried and failed. Why risk his neck when he has a bigger fish to fry (Dr. Aeon)?

    The VEATs are allegedly Arachnos agents that've gone rogue.

    Yeah, that was my favorite. The drones were powered by explodium.
