I know there's a TF suggestion thread already but I didn't want this to get lost in there and I think it's a really good idea.


On the last battle against Reichsman there's no real sense of danger when the AV's enter the fight, mainly because everyone's fought them before or there's no real danger. So here's what i suggest.

Have the 4 AV's be random. You'd never know who you'd get until you actually entered the room with Reichsman. You could even have Praetorian villains as well, but to my mind it would be far more fun to have a 'who have we got today?' moment to spice up the last fight, which, Hero side at least, just becomes an exercise in button mashing.

Thoughts?

They'd have to write dialog for EVERY AV in the game, plus it makes less thematic sense for certain AVs over others. When I15 hit test, the Malta AV was a CoT mage who was actually an ally, so they had to replace him.

And it's not that the AVs aren't a threat because we've fought them before, they're not a threat because they simply don't have the same HP, regen rate, or raw power Riechsman does. No matter what other AVs you put in there (besides maybe GW or Scirocco), there's no AV that would present any more of a problem than the ones who're already there.
