My opinion, a lot of the traffic around talos would vanish if the devs would institute some sort of auto-sell of enh. I mean, what's the point of constantly having to run to a store to sell enh that you totally don't need? (Is that fun?)

Talos is great because all of the stores are about 2 superjumps from the tram and about the same from each other or less.
I always go there because I can get all my shopping done in one trip - I mean, compare to IP where you have to cross the entire zone to visit more than 2 stores. Silly, IMO.

Plus, the use of Talos as a transport/zone chokepoint is ill-considered. Think about it Paragon city terms - if you were an AV wouldn't you try to nuke Talos at all costs?

In other news, Marvel's lawsuit against Cryptic was joined by UPN, claiming infringment of their popular 'Stargate SG-1' franchise.

Great idea.

Statesman,

I can confirm mobs in The Hollows spawning right on top of me when I am using Siphon Speed. I have died at least 200 yards away from such mobs twice. However, that is FINE with me. Again, PLEASE leave The Hollows fun the way it is now.

IMO this is fine, and is easily rationalized by the fact that it's a DANGEROUS PLACE, and in the real world, enemies don't stnad still while you prep just out of aggro range.

I'd *love* to see Cryptic unlock the random baddies from their locations, so they can WANDER their turf, and increase their aggro range significantly within sight. No more fake staging/prep by gaming the game. People that's FAKEY!!!

If occasionally a group shows up around you, they snuck up on you. Happens all the time in comics that the hero is ambushed. Heck, my sg was hunting Perez last night and the only battle on the streets that was close was where we were regrouping and scattered and 2 of us got whomped by about 8-9 whites and a couple of yellows. Yikes, but it was FUN!

Of course then these forums would resound with a chorus of whines that the game is TOO HARD!

Well I have a lvl 30 blaster that I play from time to time, I dont get much time to play anymore with work and all. Well I decieded to make a new alt, and got sent to the hollows on my second contact and im like "ok cool lets see this place some". Well when I get there I see a group of lvl 5 trolls, I think "ahh wont really be a challange" im lvl 6, heh was I wrong dead in a heartbeat, oooh well I make the run back form Atlas, and get in a group, which I dont like to do at low lvls because, not to tick anyone off but the lowbies in this game are more times than not a bunch of idiots, well this group was decent. We get the first part of my mission done and dicide to the the indoor mission. We get in there and get slaughtered quick. After the run back from atlas once again we try it dead again and the rest of the team gets mad and quits. Long story short I have been playin my 30 blaster and loving it play my lowbies and hate it. Ok sorry for my rant here just wondering why they make the hollows a mandatory place for lowbies, if they want to do missions?

You don't like to group at low levels, because they are "a bunch of idiots".

Hm, if THEY'RE idiots, I'd wonder what you'd call someone who has played long enough to have a lvl30, but nevertheless goes into a HAZARD Zone (5-15) at level 6 solo and is surprised to get his butt kicked.
...and then complains (still at level 6!) that it's too tough for his widdle toon.

Dude, in a hazard zone for levels 5-15, a team of 5 should be able to survive, but that's about it. It's meant to be a challenge for TEAMS up and down that level range....going in at rock bottom of COURSE you're going to have trouble.

Go elsewhere at level 6 if you want to solo. KR is a reasonable challenge.

Personally, I'd love to see a couple more badges:

The "Who do you think you're fooling?" badge, for 1000 grey kills.
The "Chatty Kathy" badge, for more than 10000 lines of text spoken or who've hit the limit of their chat buffer more than 1000 times.
The "Disco Bandit" badge for more than 1000 minutes in the dance club.
The "Street Cred" badge for having the boombox emote deployed for 1000 minutes.
The "Give it up already!" badge for more than 10 deaths against a single AV.
The "Run like a Scared Little Bunny" badge for using elevators and mission doors to recouperate safely.
The "Smoked!" badge, for surviving no more than 1 second against a particular foe (i.e. killed in alpha strike).
The "Lacks any sense of Judgement" badge whenever your average debt burden over all your in-game time is more than 30% of your hp.

Any others?
