She will speak to one person like she is attached to them, but actually budge her that person would not. We had to actually summon a game-master to complete the mission.
This was cackled over in the server's task-force channel; one wit responded with, "haven't they done enough to that TF already?" Me: "They have now!" I'll never run it again, I can tell you that. |

He had a bad habit of jumping out of nowhere! *MEZ!* *DEAD!* omg awful, lol. I was reduced to going outside and begging for help in Broadcast. Several kind +2s and +3s came in and killed him for me, or I would have been stuck forever. It takes guts to make an admission like that  Nowadays things have changed; Blechly is the Judgement Day that determines the fate of a new character. If the newbie can solo Blechly, he or she is a keeper. Allow me to suggest that you not Fear The Reaper, even though yeah... the rumors about the Council Vampyre are true, and then some! Learn to beat him down. He's good practice for other horrid things you will face solo later on. Big hint: DO NOT let him take you by surprise. |
Uhm, and here I was assuming that you need 4 villains to do something like simultaneously clicking glowies as is needed in some arcs. I only done this one once and had forgotten how it actually worked and when I read the intro on another lowbie I was leveling I was filling in the details.
Right, nothing here. You have not seen me. I was never there. That was not me but Grlnnlng Spade.
Doh, doh, doh.
I go now to a quiet corner and feel very noobish ty.

Concerning the OP and Atta: I'm kinda shocked that people still do the Hollows, I mean, it is a good place to cut your teeth but even on Virtue it seems like another dead zone.
But anyway, I support any revamped content. Wish they would add more variety to paper/radio missions.
The are "A Path Into Darkness" from Colleen Nelson could use some sprucing up. The story is interesting, and provides some great backstory, but Nelson keeps suggesting you bring friends for the later missions, when the nastiest enemies to be fought are a few Dark Equinox Archons. Given that the arc involves a plot to flood the streets of Paragon with new warwolves, it could use an EB or two, and maybe a unique room for the end map.

For the 4 arcs combined, there's a total of 39 merits to be had. And there's nothing stopping anyone from opening an arc then going and do other stuff, coming back to the Hollws arc once its grey and collecting the merits.|

Granted, if you are wanting all the merits from the zone, this only really works with the final arc, what with you having to get through the others first, but its still an easy load of merits, and you don't have to worry about having too may arcs open, since these are mini arcs with no known limit.

True story.
Also, Cap'n Mako's mission to defeat Ace McKnight ends in hilarious fashion, as immediately after his mug for the camera his escort of Knives of Artemis start kicking his smug face in.
This would be hilarious if a) it was actually intended and b) he didn't spawn health-dependent Knives ambushes to chew on any spectating villains.
I haven't tested it recently but as of about a month ago it was still messed up despite some bug reports.

There is no such thing as an "innocent bystander"

Lt. Belchy doesn't even qualify as a EB really. I've never had trouble killing him, even on a Dominator.|

Granted, it was a tough fight for him (down to the wire for a change) if I remember correctly, but Bow Chicka Bow Wow was triumphant at the end.

The same damn mission 4 times, in the Shard, no less. Really? Really?!

I think, if the coding were possible, for the dialogue of Night Widow Nocturne in the Faultline Arc or for Kalida in the VEAT Arc to be affected by detecting other NC soft (and perhaps, if possible, see if other companies would want to join in on the fun) games like...
Night Widow Nocturne: *Detects Lineage II on your system* "I see you like play Lineage II."
or... (And this would be awesome if Cryptic would allow it.)
Kalida: *Programs detects Champions on your system* "So you like to play that /other/ game, do you? You are not only a traitor Arachnos, but the whole world!"

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

That TF needs to be dragged out into a field and shot, jumped on, chopped into little pieces, boiled in oil and thrown into the deepest darkest abyss to be chewed on by horrors beyond imagining until the end of time.|

It's like they deliberately tried to make it as long and tedious as possible. Then they added simultaneous clickies just to make SURE that if enough of your teammates decided ramming rusty nails into their eyes was preferable to spending another second on that abomination, you were completely and utterly screwed. Rularuu is laughing at you for even starting that thing.

Couldn't agree more.
