• Pictures of the main characters from Going Rogue, akin to those shown at this year's Hero Con
• Box Art from the "Good vs Evil", "Mac Edition", and "Architect Edition" boxes
• Updated logos (for Paragon Studios specifically)
• Updated wallpapers with previous Issue releases and Going Rogue
• Updated IM/ forum avatars - not only signature characters, but ATs & Origins
• Updated banners (if any)
• Remove any Cryptic Studios logos (my opinion)

My biggest wish, however, would be the reintroduction of the Fan Site portal. This may be out of the scope of your current project, but Lighthouse told us years ago that it would be re-opened. Consider this last item a wish list item.

Edit: Also, having graphics for the various holiday events would be cool too.

I imagine someone at the Paragon Studios (then Cryptic) office did a massive face palm when asked who was to blame for this?

Oh and Silver Mantis really is more than just 'suggestive' the entire fight with her in the STF is a bit of an 'wah?' moment if you actually read the text. Considering she's never, up until that point, said stuff like that in any other encounter...

Let me answer that question. The job of a stalker is to do hit and run damage. A stalker hides in the shadows, then pounces a single target, then fades away from view. Proper stalkers hit their prey as hard as they can, then book it to a safe hiding spot.

If you play a stalker right, you should have an experience of an expert assassin. Darting in and removing the lethal and annoying foes. Able to go anywhere and everywhere, past the massive defenses any enemy is able to provide.

Now, let me ask you another question. What is not a stalkers job?

Let me answer that question as well. A stalkers job is not provide consistent in-mob dps. A stalkers job is not to take aggro for a team, take an alpha strike, or remain in melee combat.

If you are playing a stalker as you would a scrapper, brute, or tank...

YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG

This is one of the reasons why I, personally, loathe tools like MIDS. MIDS does not tell you how a class is supposed to be played, nor what the purpose of a class is.

Actually PLAYING THE GAME will tell you what a class feels like to play.

Of course the numbers on Stalker damage are going to come up shorter than scrapper or brute damage.

But, if you've actually played the game, you'd know that stalkers now get critical chances outside of hide while in a team. The larger the team, the more likely the stalker is to critical if the stalker winds up in a position where it has to do consistent or extended melee combat.

So the line you wrote here:



Is absolutely tripe. You do not understand the point of Hide and Assassin's Strike and the critical capabilities. The developers. DO!
