The unlockable French Maid mob Jay put in for kicks.
...seriously? No idea. The problem seems - to my untrained and uncivilised mind - to relate to summons, so it could be Maltesers (Titans and Gun Drones).
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
I asked in announcements (about the 21st April downtime):

BTW - any idea how long it'll be until, to combat farming/exploits:
* the only group left in MA is rularuu?
* the only map is the smallest cave?
* the only objective is kill all?

It is this. The removed assets being due to return in the year 2525 if mankind is still alive.

Aren't they still "fixing" the bases, etc. I'd say it'll be that, and a few negligible 'Mission Architect' bugs.
P.S Your bet is still on Dr.

If anything wouldnt they be kept IN? I hate missions with strong allies (as my team found out yesterday when we had THREE AV allies, oh i cursed a lot at all the kill steals!) since it becomes a case of "lets watch them npcs duke it out!".

Good heavens, I hope not. One of my arcs uses that heavily for story purposes.
Is it being exploited in some way?

They've already taken force field generators away from us. What's to stop you replacing them with a FF defender or empath or other kind of buffbot? Combat doesn't have to mean offensive combat... The MA doesn't make any distinction there, does it?

It was always exploitable. They thought that if they made allies steel XP it would stop it, but they didn't take into account buffing allies.
However, have we had this patch yet?
I really should do something about this signature.

Thought its impossible to make a pure buffbot? Has at least one attack usually? "weakest" buffbot i found to make was a mind/emp, though if what you said is true then they are really making a huge mockup.

I don't see why they don't just let us have full access to the mobs.
Seeing as nothing in particular is being done about current exploits, apart from removing, for example, key mobs which (for me) make enemy groups (Raider Engineers) then why not just give us all access to the mobs and maps.
And whilst they're at it (although this will undoubtedly take a wee bit more time) why not allow us to select and unselect certain powers from custom mobs?
The servers down again?!

I hope its a slight reward nerf, the markets are oversaturating.

Seriously? People have been whinging for months that the markets are dead and you can't buy anything and now you're complaining there's too much stock there?
/facepalm
Well all i can say is you can guarantee something is going to get nerfed.
In CoH patch = Nerf nowadays.

I remember you mentioned this before servers went offline, I debated that they were suitable, but now I think you are correct.
The amount of tickets one can get, and the quality in redeeming of tickets has sunk the value of influence/infamy. I personally can vouch, since I just redeemed 2x capped tickets for around 20+ 'Rare Invention Salvage', and made a big pocketing which as much as I'd love to do again, everything has sunk in value considerably.
EDIT: I noticed someone said you can't get anything in markets nowadays, I think your being a tad extreme, only purples are unobtainable. I actually think the market is quite good, and has been for some time.

You could always buy stuff. Just because you cant get a recipy in 5 minutes does not mean there arent any.
Exception though to Pool A/B which was low in supply mostly on red since there werent as many playing but also on blue since they are being vendored.
Bronze pool being 70 tickets remedied this.
A steady increasing supply is nice but when theres a flashflood inf will devalue and as such prices will increase and then we are back at square one.
Yes but there's a flash flood at the moment give it a month or two to settle down before calling on changes

As much as you could be validly correct, I must disagree since the contraints providing this 'flashflood' will always be here, therefore I do believe if the market continues in it's sinking of value, that even if it plateaus off as you point out, this plateau may actually be inevitably awful to the economy and value of pretty much all valuables.

The main problem with having things sell for less is that there will be less competitions about.
I'ld say 70% of my influence for competitions was made from selling drops, now the prizes will be MUCH lower. I dont think we'll see many 100mill + competitions for a while now from anyone.

Alright once again the servers are going down due to MA maintenance.
Place your bests on which faction/mob are being removed this time.
So far my options are:
None (likely)
Rikti Comm Officers (plausible but unlikely).
Freakshow (very unlikely).
High level Family (for old times sake)
A mob/faction of your choice (please explain why and how likely it would be)
Lets see what you votes are people.
Bonus points for possible maps being removed mentioned as well.
Badge Earned: Wing Clipper
A real showstopper!
