I see what you did there

On a side note, with more space for AE arcs now, I can complete the "World War Mini" trilogy and rework "Lord of the Minis" to include Galadramini and the rest of the "Fellowship". Grog the Small is



These are some good answers, and thank you all for contributing. I have a (non-mini) story arc as a sort of "Triumph Task Force" that I would like to create. It would be for you all, so I'm trying to glean some consensus on what types of heroes/villains you would all enjoy seeing.

Of all the villains in CoX, whom would you say is the "baddest of the bad" and why?

That's a very interesting answer.

Suppose the "villain" is doing what they are doing because they believe it is in the best interests of everyone, not just themselves?

Perhaps the analogy between the Vorlons and the Shadows on Babylon 5... both basically had the same agenda and overall goal, they just went about it in different ways.

The Vorlons (who could be called the heroes) wanted life to progress naturally, yet they did interfere by creating the telepaths. The Shadows believe progress came from conflict and that would lead to the strongest species surviving and in turn, thriving.

Ras Al'Gul in Batman Begins believed in what he was doing and in many ways, his motivations were altruistic to the extreme. He was willing "to do all that was necessary" to see balance in the world and justice served. So if his motivations were not "selfish", does that make him evil?

What makes the best villain? Is it someone who is clearly on the other side of the fence or is it someone who blurs the line between what is right and what is wrong?

LMAO!

I like this answer a lot

Thanks for the answers everyone! There is a purpose in asking these so please do add more to it!

I am boycotting cuz Ultra mode broked my CoXing and Turbo does not miss his Mini and is not helping with wedding plans

One of the deaths was you, wasn't it?

I'll probably be on this evening or tomorrow night. I never got around to testing Ultra Mode so I don't know if I'll be able to run it on my setup. I hope I can cuz I'm not going to buy a new video card for it.

It's my understanding that the Romulans were the next playable faction to be added to the game. They were the number 1 choice in the poll results Cryptic had for playable factions.

They are working to flesh out the Klingons first to give them an equivelent level of PvE content to the Federation side first. After that, they'll start working on the Romulans.

I didn't know anyone on there either but was able to make a couple of new friends while playing. Then I found the CoX channel that some fellow CoX players made and joined that. There are quite a few people from here over on STO. We've been working on the STFs together.

LOL! I agree the STFs in STO are totally insane. They're not designed very well, but myself and 2 other fellow CoH players made it all the way to the final room of "Infected" and almost got all the generators down. I doubt we could have taken the Queen if we managed to get them all though.

It does get very boring once you hit Admiral and have done all the missions, so I'm altaholicing it there for now. Supposedly Episode 3 is raising the level cap.

This on test server now? I'll have to check it out.

Did you see that your Mini is 50? He is too powerful for you to step on him now

Same, and I blame Turbo for this.

Six years my poopy Defender has been waiting to get married to Turbo and he just runs off to have a cyber affair with his new computer. Well that is the story of my life with Turbo I guess...

Cryptic is slowly flushing the fun factor of STO down the proverbial toilet, so I'll be back here on a more regular basis.

I believe I have perfected the concept for my Mini Cath toon, which is a combination of Cath, a catgurl and Sun Splitter, with a dash of Karl Rove Man. This is masterpiece material here.

I just hope this incarnate stuff coming will let my minis solo the STF because that would just be pure awesome spread between two slices of win.

What now?

I was referring to "branching" as in it isn't possible to create in AE as the system stands now.

Branching to me is;

Contact asks you "How do you want to handle this situation?"

You have option 1, 2 or 3 to choose from.

If you choose option 1, you run mission A that contains unique story arc elements X.
If you choose option 2, you run mission B that contains unique story arc elements Y.
If you choose option 3, you run mission C that contains unique story arc elements Z.

Whichever choice you made also has implications toward what contacts/content you have access to in the future.

Hopefully this is what we'll be getting soon.

I'd make a "sizable" joke here about "appendages" and USB ports, but I don't want to get banned...

I'm going to start getting back into the swing of things here since STO is rapidly going down the toilet.
