We need a 30-35 SF for Villains.

That's it. We need a 30-35 Strike Force for the Villains. Otherwise, it's a hideous grind for anybody trying to get through that stage and they wind up doing Newspaper Missions over and over again because the arcs are too few and too short. That, or they subject themselves to another player's NPC version of themselves with all the powers to make their character nigh-insurmountable as an "Arch Villain" in Architect Entertainment.

We possibly need a 10-15 one, too, but it's actually pretty quick to tear through those levels on Redside already. Sometimes I have trouble finishing Veluta Lunata's arc (which would have made an interesting Strike Force itself).

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.

While I don't disagree with the general idea (a 30-35 SF), there's a couple of Ouro arcs in that range and now with Super-sidekicking you can just do a lower level TF for exp.

And isn't there like 7-9 contacts for that level range anyway?


The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

A new SF would be nice, but I'd prefer it be in the 40-45 range.

The Wretch Strike Force will fill the gap. You heard it here first, folks.

Yeah, but what about Pool C & D?

I certainly wouldn't look new gift content in the mouth, per se. And being that this level gap has nothing (unlike the blue side), I can go for it.

Good luck getting teams for those on the fly. Without a team, I may as well just hop in the AE.

Before you ask, yes I do peruse multiple servers. If you don't ingratiate yourself with the "local" community (read: learn the server's channels), you may as well be hopping about a ghost town, even on Virtue and Freedom.

Also, those Contacts are short and boring. Nobody talks about Vivacious Verandi because her arc is essentially no different than eight newspaper missions, only there are more glowies. Nobody likes Hardcase because, despite the fact that he's a Demon Hunter, he sends you after only ONE type of demon: Howlers. Whee. I get to fight bat-like screamers for a few missions.

If I'm not mistaken, Black Scorpion (30-35) and Ghost Widow (40-45) were supposed to be in the game but never made it in - that's why the Servant of Recluse badge for completing the RSF has the Roman numeral "III" on it and there aren't any badges with "I" or "II." Still, saying "we don't need need more SFs because we have flashback arcs and contact arcs" is kind of silly.

Good thing no one said that.

Yeah, that was just a general statement.

AGREED!

I think it's the lack of a 30-35 SF that stops me from enjoying Redside.

Blueside, I can TF my way through the levels.

In fact, just the other day I was on blueside, when I said in my OOC channel, "Okay. I'm okay with getting experience without major merit rewards, who needs a lvl 41 scrapper"

My SG was shocked.
