Under this scenario, a team of 8 heroes would be facing 240 minions in a single mission room. I don't need to point out that 1) the rooms aren't big enough for this and 2) most video cards aren't good enough for this. You'd end up with exactly what we have now - small groups hunting massive spawns, while the larger groups are penalized because there's nothing challenging enough for them.

As much fun as it would be to have 200-300 minions for the uber AoE slaughter-fest, it's just not going to happen. Statesman's got the physical aspect covered, but think about the in-game implications. People are already complaining about herders who gather up 50-100 minions at a time. 200-300, already pre-gathered (probably gift-wrapped too). How about you just put a glowing object that's worth a full level every time you click it.

I'd like to see if people randomly gravitate towards her and start dancing uncontrollably.

I can only imagine the great laugh the Devs are getting from this thread. Notice they've only posted ONCE in this thread (aside from the origonal post) and that was to debate the semantics of the word "aether"

Statesman... I friggin hate you... NO NO NO I love you devs, you're the greatest dev team out there.... but. grrrr... with the teasing. Hate hate hate you guys... but in, ya know, a good way

Either way, I was holding my main untill Update 2 goes live, but I think this definetley warrants dusting off.

"Get Froggy!"

The best way, IMO to fix this will be with CoV. Let PLing be an option. You can even go so far as to describe how to do it in the game manual... but let it only be an option in PvP zones

That way, if you want to try and hide behind the police drones and get PLed, more power too you. Just watch out for some villian with a sniper shot...

FotM - Flavor of the Month. The most recent and most commonly exploited build. Someone finds a nice tactic, or a overpowered ability and uses it to reap insane amounts of XP very quickly. Soon thereafter you'll begin to see an insanely large amount of these builds. Currently AR/Dev and Fire/Dev blasters (others are accused of being FotM, but these two are the most widley recognized)

Also, everyone seems to use Mez only against enemies. Mez generally means any form of Sleep/hold/stun. Something that prevents you (or an enemy) from moving, attacking, etc.
