Is it just me or do others think that there should be some kinda moat monster around the prison? How cool would that be?

Nope, I think it's just you.

We already have two monsters that live in in-game bodies of water, namely Lusca and Sally.

I have no problems with moat monsters being added.

What is the story behind them being there?

Obviously a moat monster is needed as extra security as the prison has apparent problems with escaping inmates

So what we can do is move the hydra and Kraken from Perez to Bricks, and put a Giant Tree Monster in Perez instead. lol

People are forgetting the tentacles in the water in Faultline. Not a full fledge monster or GM but it does add flavor.

I actually like this idea.

Are GM's "arrested" when defeated by heroes?

Maybe we could have Kraken wandering around the Zig in a giant orange jumpsuit.

Great. Now level 1 villains will have to defeat a GM just to get out of the tutorial!

This is a great idea. Perez is mostly forest; makes sense to have a tree monster there.


It would be pretty to have a GM swimming around the Zig and has been mentioned:

Some of the best ideas come from flippancy. *

In that case, it'd only aggro on NPCs, and people would complain about it stealing their kills when they're working on that badge you get for escaped convicts.

Brickstown really needs some loving. It's so neglected. Ouro doesn't drop there. No market or anything. I say that they either have a Riot Event similar to the Troll Rave in Skyway, or when Kraken spawns, have it randomly pick either Perez Park or Brickstown at the Zigg.

Am I the only one who saw this and thought immediately..."Or maybe sharks with laser weapon mounts?"

...And now that I think of it, since water can slow bullets to harmlessness, why the heck would armed cops put a moat there? Hm. On second thought, I'm over thinking this.

To the OP: eh, I'd rather a prison break zone event. The zone ain't Crey's Folly, it's a prison.

I think a prison riot is a fantastic idea, and quite appropriate.

One of my biggest disappointments when I first started this game was leveling up high enough to get to Bricks, seeing this awesome prison just sitting there, and discovering that absolutely NO missions took place inside it.
I really did have visions of the prison riot from Watchmen run through my head the first time I saw it.

Almost as cool as having Possessed Scientists (better yet, add Possessed Bureaucrats) randomly spawn in City Hall. Which actually makes a hell of a lot more sense than a modern city having moat monsters in the middle of heavily urbanized neighborhood. i mean, really, you can't go for a cup of coffee without Azuria calling you up to ask for help retrieving an artifact that was stolen from the MAGI vaults... again.

Personally, I wouldn't want a moat monster at the zig.

I'd love to have some kind of riot or repeatable missions that took place inside the zig.

I too, had the same reaction the 1st time I zoned into Bricks.
Wow, this thing is amazing. Makes sense they'd have some sort of super max facility. What with all these super-powered thugs running around.

Now. Having a Malta Titan or some other giant behemoth breaking someone out and having to stop them. That I could get behind as well.

what would be really cool is to have breakout actually be in brickstown. Yes, it would still need to be 'separated' from the actual zone by an invisible wall, but they've already proven you can have "windows" where you can see what's going on on the other side (AE building). Heroes wouldn't be able to affect the new villains and vice versa, but it would be neat to see the breakout in action.

You don't shoot them with bullets, you shoot them with Freeze Rays.
