I'd consider that a pretty effective defense, compared to the way they used to be able to attack anywhere they chose during the war.
Yeah. I mean remember the bad old days when there was swarms of Rikti in Founders Falls, loitering around and robbing old ladies. Thank god those days are over! Nice to have them gone out of PI and Creys Folly too...

The idea of a ranged attack was kicked around, but after the friggin' lasers was veto'd that whole project lost a lot of steam.
Flying.

Sharks.

That is all.

I would like to see the war walls function like bug zappers for all characters.

Fly into it? BZZT!

Then get knocked back comically.

This whole thread, and with I16 out, and no one has complained yet that they can't customize the color of the War Walls. Shameful!

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

When given the choice between randomly scattered ground troops or giant motherships or loads of Heavy Assault Suits, or Hover tanks appearing at will, I'll take the scattered ground troops.

They're not amphibians, they're simply amphibious. They're part coral, part mammal.

War Walls only separate land zones not islands. PI and Sringa don't have them, nor do the Rogue Isles. The ocean serves the same purpose of obstructing traffic apparently.

You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.

There aren't actual "War Walls" around all zones in the City - just most of them - but if you get close enough to any zone end - City or Isle you will see that "blue" wall.

Secretly, the Rikti have picked up a huge patches of Earth that some of us have called the Petri Dish. Sections of Earth have been sectioned off by membranes that lead us to believe that the sections are actually larger than what they are. We don't even know where the Rikti has taken the Petri Dish. We just know that it is no longer on Earth as we know it.
Unfortunately, none that have traveled outside of what appears to be concrete and forcefield walls have returned to report about what they found. Those that claim to have done so apparently have been "debriefed"/processed by the Rikti - we know this due to "missing" time and other strange occurrences with heroes and villains suddenly appearing and disappearing from thin air with no knowledge of where they were taken during this "missing time". In fact, many of returned with knew skills that they believe that they learned from their "day jobs", yet no other heroes or villains have seen them performing these "jobs".

It appears that we are trapped within this Rikti experiment in which they prod humanity and beings from not only the past and future of earth but also from other worlds and dimensions.

Is it an experiment to see if we will learn to work together?
Or is it an experiment to see how we will react when we are given strange "superhuman" powers?

I have to go now. I think they are coming. They probably know that you are reading this.
Don't let them know you know.

...but we must do something before it is too late....
