Carnies, psychic clockworks, devouring earth, crey, or rikti would all be nice. Freakshow would be awesome!
Please do that, newspaper missions end up even more boring then normal. I want to see "Ragnu'Mosh of the Rularuu calls you out".

Also, shouldn't we be fighting more hero groups?
The only time I've felt like I was playing a villain character in this game is when I broke out of prison at lvl 1 (well there's the occasional bank heist but you pretty much get the picture) 
-
Ques?ion - Energy/Dark blaster
Brandon Grotesque - Mind/Kin controller
Bad Connection - Gravity/Storm controller
Oh, i forgot the bank hiest. Since i don't get any new content, i just refuse them.
I also completely agree. I just about halfway to 37 and I think I've got maybe 1 one contact left excluding the Sonata guy or the Slot machine. I'm trying to come up with alternatives to doing paper missions to get xp. All I can come up with is doing some of the lvl 30-40 SF's over and over again. Better than the heists and paper missions.
And, with my 1,000th post, I agree .

After you hit 38, go back and check Naylor. Sometimes, he may have a new story arc for you.

Yes, the upper 30s need more enemy groups in the upper 30s. And I say that even though my main villain has a Magic origin and has a good time beating on CoT.
The 30s are where we need the newspaper the most, and that's where we have the least variety of enemies to fight.
I dont mind the endless stream of CoT missions. Theres an sg badge for completing thorn missions. Thats not to say I wouldnt love a bunch Freakshow missions in my paper

Most of it is intentional as I'm trying to milk the contacts I have left. Unfortunattely I'm stuck with Johnny's Soul and Capture Lilithu missions, so I'm waiting to level before finishing those, and I KNOW I still have the Baphomet (sp??) mission waiting after that.
Or, I could stop being anti-social and find a VG to join....NAHHHHH 
Oh and the 35-40 Strike Force... guess what? CIRCLE OF THORNS!

Don't forget the auras mission.
Do you *really* want to be fighting the Knives of Artemis?
Actually, what I want to see for the sake of diversity are missions with mixed villains: two or three different groups working together.
"Longbow, Wyvern, and the Legacy Chain are meeting to coordinate their efforts. That would be bad. Stop it."
"The Carnival have mind controlled the Legacy Chain to do their bidding. Are we villains next? Put an end to their domination schemes."
Etc...

Actually, I was teamed with a level 35 yesterday (trying to get myself to 35), and he was still getting Sky Raiders for newspaper missions.
And considering he had the difficulty jacked up, that meant we were still fighting level 35s, but getting the xp/inf bonus for the higher difficulty. Kind of an exploit, to be sure...
But if not everybody is getting the Sky Raider option, then it was probably just a bug for our group (maybe having less-than-35 villains in the group caused it).
I'd think that newspapers should at least offer the same villain groups as that zone has. St. Martials has Family, Freakshow, Devouring Earth, CoT, Carnies, Arachnos, and even Wailers (although they might not work so good in a newspaper, considering there backstory). Toss in the Tsoo (and add a few more Tsoo members post-30), as well as the existing Sky Raiders, and that's a lot of variety of enemies to fight.

Yes he should have another fun arch for you at 38. I know I got 40 in the end XP in that Arch.

Noted.
We also need to add more Contacts from levels 35-40.
Please edit your note to read "More hero groups, please", as others have mentioned.
You know what would be awesome? An actual hero team like the X-men or the JLA, but with the minions provided by a Hero with illusion or self-cloning powers ala the Multiple Man.
Seriously, both games are missing the "super team" aspect, it's all just gangs led by a couple of supers. Please find a way to do this sort of thing.
I'd kill for the "final boss fight" of a Strike/Task Force to be a team of 5 different Boss or Elite Boss level villains/heroes that have witty dialogue, as well as complimentary powers and fighting tactics, instead of just a giant bag of HPs with the ability to one-shot squishies (AVs/Heroes).
Please try my custom mission arcs!

But Jack, we know the devs are Ebil and never listen to the fan base.....
Ahh you are just caving in to whiners....

Yes, I'm about to be level 37, and I am almost out of contacts. I have the guy that gives the second Infernal mission, then I am out.
Also, no more Earth Thorn Casters! God, I hate having to do CoT missions simply cause of them. Same with Longbow Flamethrowers. One of them is bad enough, but two or even 3 in a single group is murder on some AT's. They waste MM pets easy.
Come on devs, art guys, where is my Maid costume for my characters! 5 years now, its a simple request.

Sweet... and while you are at it, can you add more heroic enemies? longbow and then my villain has to fight amongst other villains? I don't care about turf wars too much...
(except when i read in the newspaper someone wants to challenge me or accuses me of steaking stuff :P )
but yeah, i am villian... there should be more mission where I can fight another hero or PC Police, or even PVP instance missions. Thanks States!
Awesome job toy ou and your team!

That . . . would make for the coolest end battle of any TF/SF. Having a spawn made up of an elite boss for every member of the team. Do you have ANY idea how fun that would be?

One request: No more Infernal
He annoys me more than my cat when she's hungry...
The Broker missions usually concern a few mob groups per level. For exemple, in the teens, you can get Skulls, Hellions, CoTs, Trolls, Goldbricks, Mooks.
In the 20s, it's CoTs, Councils, Tsoos, Skyraiders, Losts...
Now, starting at 30, you only get: CoTs or Councils or Skyraiders.
At 35, Skyraiders are gone, and the ONLY 2 choices are Councils and CoTs.
Since almost ALL players run out of contact by 38-39, that leaves only Warburg and Paper missions as a goal... Which means Longbows, CoTs, and Councils, 3 villains groups that by then we've all had a sever overdose of . I mean, Council and CoTs are as old as CoH and already present in CoH from lvl 1 to 50.
Longbows already get old by level 20 and i've killed so many, soooooo many of them that i'm starting to seriously wonder where they can recruit so many volonteer
So, please, can the devs add, in the next issue, at least a few more 30 to 40 organisation to pick missions from? Maybe Carnies, DEs, Family, Creys, Ritkis or Arachnos?
Using the Portal in Nerva ruins, maybe offer Rularuus, Nemesis, Banished Pantheon, Maltas, Coralax, Wailers, or even the Croatoa mobs?
