Does anyone else think that Reichsman looks amusingly reminiscent of M. Bison?

Thanks to his subtle influence...

You know what would be neat? A 5th Column zone invasion once you finish the TF, tied to custom weapons and an accolade...

We'd better be able to get purchasable G Cores to fight them, as we all know the only thing that can handle Kaiju robots is Godzilla.

I prefer some more serious gear.

OK, I'm not crying "doom," please understand that. I just strongly suspect that I'm going to hate this even more than I hate Cimerora and the ITF.

1) This is yet another villainous strike force for maxed-out characters only, which is the last thing on Earth villains need. We need a strike force in level 10 to 15. We need a strike force in level 30 to 35. We already have a bunch of level 40+ strike forces.

2) Oh, goody, they want the fight with Reichsman to be "challenging." In my experience, what that means is "impossible for pickup groups" and "requires a specific mix of archetypes and powersets, including none of the ones I prefer to play." I doubt that Paragon knows how to make a strike force that would make people say, "Wow, this is going to be tough; we better make sure we have enough masterminds and at least one stalker."

So, my guess is that I'll probably never get to complete the new SF, unless I get somebody's "pity spot." So I'm really hoping that there's some non-SF content to the return-of-the-5th storyline, too, and/or that there's at least something more to i15 than one TF, one SF, and a search revamp for Mission Architect. If not, then this will be the 6th of the last 8 issues that was very unexciting to me.

I guess the only reason I'm not crying doom is that I love this game so much in its issue 7 form that I wasn't desperately needing any more content to keep having more fun in City of Heroes than I can in any other subscription MMO.

From the article:
[ QUOTE ]
We wanted these fights to be challenging – Reichsman is very, very powerful – and to allow the players to take different approaches.

[/ QUOTE ]
"Different approaches" is an unknown. We'll have to wait and see to find out exactly what this entails. It could be that your MMs and Stalks are suddenly going to be very viable.

Or start your own team. That sort of thing does happen.

How DARE they make content that doesn't specifically cater to you and you alone!

[/ QUOTE ]

No kidding. What were they thinking???

[/ QUOTE ]
Pssh. Everyone knows the devs build this game for me.


/kicks the high-level TFs some more...

Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.

Issue 7 form? What was wrong with 9 and 12? 9 and 12 were probably my faves. The invention system issue was amazing - I think most would agree it changed the game a lot - not required, but there is quite a bit there. 12 is a personal fave because I think that's when I was able to make my favorite character of all time - a fire/fire scrapper.

Is it just me, or does that show Reichsman being...like 50 feet tall? Pretty sure those are Longbow in the background.

Never knew he was a giant

[/ QUOTE ]

I would say its more like he is closer than everything else

[/ QUOTE ]

looks kinda like a statue to me

[/ QUOTE ]

Look's more like a Reicsh-cicle to me.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it has something to do with the 5th Column...maybe, possibly.

What the heck is this?

If that's a pad in the center of that thing on the bottom, it's huge. With that as pad, a teleport, time machine, a dimensional portal? Could it be Ubelmann, part duex?

Looks more like an abandoned hero base. Besides, why would the 5th Column keep their very own Evil Statesman in stasis?
