Neither- they combine forces and rip down the steel cage and haul it off to make more Clockwork.

I'm not suprised. Not sure there is any monster or AV that babbage can defeat. He (It? Anyone sure what the clockwork king is imagining here?) don't hit very hard at all.

<.< there are three babbages (2 of which are the "same" one, but have different stats) >.> assuming we're discluding Psychic babbage..

o,o now the Boomtown spawn babbage is more powerful since he isn't nerfed so that a tf capped at lvl 21 can take him down. This babbage can take down kracken (the PP one), and Paladin.

<.< one of the big problems you'll see is that even though a G M is perma purple, its also got a lvl. Babbage is from early in the game, so he's actually under 30, G Ms like Kronos are from the end game, and in their 40s or 50s ^^;; He's a mission spawn though, so nerfed to be killable by a team. Unfortinatly, he still has 20 some more lvls of hitpoints over poor Babbage, regaurdless of whether they're perma purple to each other or not.

He used to be able to spawn in PvP zones, but the devs fixed that right before a big player event on Victory (we had 8 people get the Kronos mission up and we were going to spawn them all in Bloody Bay at the same time, but the devs thwarted our event! As a side note, the police drones in Skyway now have the Kronos titan badge).

[/ QUOTE ]

1. He is still spawn-able in Siren's Call... it was just done on Triumph the other day (unless yesterday's patch fixed that and it wasn't listed in the patch notes).

2. Are you serious about the police drones with the badge? Or is that just a joke that Kronos got zapped?

I can confirm that, while it takes a lot of work, you can get Kronos in Siren's.

As for Babbage, I'd like to see a test done for Babbage vs. Kraken. Or perhaps Babbage vs. Skyway-level Winter Lord.

Also: Jurassik vs. Jack in Irons. Adamaster vs. Eochai.

Kronos Won.

His blasts have a -regen component, plus babbage wasted a lot of time summoning cogs that were promptly one-shotted by the Kronos footstomp

Is there any way we can replicate this with the Gladiator Arena?

This feature (if it can be done) will sell more copies than the nude Diabolique slash command.

Most likely a joke.

I agree...this would be really cool to have an arena type of thing where people/villains/heroes can place bets on who would win (like Kronos vs Paladin or what have you).

We had a huge contingent of villians and heros hanging around in BB waiting for the Kronos spawns that never appeared. Finally some of the ambushee heroes left the zone and pretty much as soon as they zoned into Skyway they were getting plastered by swarm missiles. Sadly, some of the Kronos Titans wandered too close to the drones and were disintegrated. I think there was a total of 6 Titans active at once.

Victory has a proud tradition of Spawning the Kronos in unusual places. Once time I managed to get him up on the big blue ball on the crashed Rikti Spaceship (turns out the forcefield isn't slippery to giant monsters).

We even had 4 spawn in Blyde Square once, just because.

Pinnacle had a Kronos Titan in the Hami Jelly during a hold phase once.

That's some quality griefing there.

10,000 Quatloos on the Newcomer!

I just love saying that.

Anyone try and get Lusca to fight one of the GM's?

Impossible GM fights would include:

Deathsurge v. Babbage
Paladin v. Kraken
Ghost of Scrapyard v. Adamastor

I'd love to see the villain GMs get in on this action.

Ahahaha. Is this what you guys do after hours? Spawn giant monsters on your internal servers and make them fight? That is awesome.

Afterhours? What makes you think that they were doing it after hours?!?

He did it on company time, instead of working on Issue 7!!!

I for one am outraged!

...and not at all surprised that Kronos owned

I am so glad I am not the only one who thinks about weird things in the game. And I am even more excited a dev replied. If we accomplish this fight, we will try to record it. But its not as much fun, since kronos is going to win.

But we got the hard piece of data that Kronos does have -regen, which I did suspect.

Not a waste AT ALL.

Is there any monster that could beat Kronos if Kronos got his swarm missles in?

try spawning Kronos on Lusca and see who wins, my bets on Lusca if Kronos gets too close.

OK...but noone yet has answered the question .... HOW DO YOU SPAWN KRONOS???!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Kronos appears as an ambush after you complete a story arc mission. It is a lv 45-50 arc from Crimson.

He's an ambush towards the end of the World Wide Red story arc from Crimson in PI.

Virtue: multiple characters.

CoH/V: Woot! Maybe Fun is to be had once again.

Ack! RUN! Regen is glowing mean & green!

If it reduces you, it's a nerf.
If it buffs the mobs, it's challenge.
They are not the same.

Psychic Babbage Vs. Kronos.

Wouldn't be as impressive as you'd think. Kronos, like most robots, is heavily resistant to psi damage. He'd take Babbage's nuke without much problem.

If several tentacles are aggroed, Kronos might be going down.

Now... how many luscas would it take to slay hamidon?

I'd love to see Kronos fight another Kronos in GC.

Hmm, spawn two of them and confuse/decieve spam?

*Grabs a box to throw over pohsyb*

See this is what being a great Dev team is about. Wasting company (dont say it was personal) time to check the answer to a completely irrelevant question.

[/ QUOTE ]

Every dev team for every MMO I've played has a dev that does that. Devs of all stripes tend to be fanbois themselves. Heck they made these dolls, of course, they want to see what happens.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

This whole thing gets me to thinking how the Devs could make a really good Event out of those (relatively useless) Arenas they spent so much time developing:
