- Malta and Knives of Artemis could spawn from black helicopters that land near wherever loads of players gather, or otherwise parachute in,

Yeah, malta (and by extention, the knives) are more of behind the scenes kind of guys(gals), aside from sending giant titans to stomp on poor inocent Martial Artists that is *whimper*

"Shivans could emerge around meteorites that fall from the sky (like Rikti bombs) and crack open on impact"

This could well start to happen as in the initial orbourous arc a shivian meteorite has crashed in Atlas

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.

Brilliant, and somehow scarier than Rikti Invasion.

Soooo agreeing on all of this...

More world wars... remember that the WWII period was called the Golden Agen of comics! This kind of stuff makes great enemies. Epic fights.

Loving this idea Valkryst but what about my own personal favourite - Nemesis? They could spawn from the underground moles that appear in some of the missions and a badge awarded for taking out the mole. If thats possible from a game point of view. I would have thought that drilling moles coming up from the ground would be harder to do than drop ships but it does keep in with the whole Nemesis theme.


Life is one big practical joke that we as the human race have yet to see the punchline to. Once you work that out the rest is easy.

I knew I'd forgotten someone - but yeah, mole machines appearing and spawning troops would be good.

Doesn't imply a city zone wide assault would be in-character for a highly secretive group like that though. What with all the "Secrets" and "Shadowy" and "Hushed" bits in there. That's what I was referring to, not the helicopters.

As long as there are Fake Nemesises as it would make getting the badge for killing 100 of them a lot easier!

And remember - its always a Nemesis plot!

Seems more in-keeping for Malta to swing in in a black helicopter and drop an assault team to hit a specific hero or party of heroes.

Imagine if, after you come across them and defeat them once or twice, you suddenly start seeing Malta attack squads popping up in random outdoor mission maps. Sweeping in and attacking without warning in an attempt to eliminate a dangerous threat to their secrecy.

Yeah, which was why I specified them assaulting only when a large enough group of players gathered.

Malta's mandate is to deal with super-powered threats - if enough heroes/villains gathered in the same place I don't think it beyond the bounds of possibility that a paranoid Malta might think that the players were forming an army (as far as they're concerned all heroes/villains are dangerous enemies of mankind, to be controlled or wiped out), nor put it past them to grab the opportunity to wipe out as many supers as they can with a single decisive assault.

I guess Atlas Park would be under constant scrutiny then

To be fair the War Walls are pretty much a relic now considering you actually have a badge mission where you have to defend them from being disabled.

Glad lots of people like my idea


Badge Earned: Wing Clipper

A real showstopper!

Is this something that ya thaught to happen randomly in any zone? Just thinking there will be a lot of lower level players, and lower level alts that be mashed. The Rikti stopped bothering me past 35+ but up until that level, it was highly annoying.
Creds for the idea though.
Peace out!

I like this idea alot, along with the idea of meteorite shower/Shivan attacks, Malta Assault (could possibly seed the zone with random Hero NPCs that players need to prevent being captured - Fusionette and any of the random Heroes from Mayhem missions), a Sky Pirate Booty Run, etc.

In similar vein - Longbow Sweeps across a Rogue Isles zone or Arachnos Invasions in a Paragon City zone would also be awesome.
