Zombie Man's not worried, he's defeated Nosferatu, so, he can defeat 'himself.'
Considering I've got my praetorians all planned out with costumes saved, I would be very unhappy if they did this. I want control of my own praetorians.

Edited to add: I'm expecting an enemy that can mimic us, personally. An enemy that isn't actually connected to us, but can shift its appearance and/or abilities to mimic our own.

Frankly now that you mention it it is kind of weird they managed animated tails before backpacks but what can we do.
I've got alts who've been waiting for both for years so I guess one out of two is better than nothing.

In-Game E-mail: You can now use in-game e-mails to send Influence/Infamy to your own characters or to other players' characters via in-game e-mails. (You still cannot send Influence, Infamy, or items from a Hero to a Villain or vice versa.)
Now I do really hate to be negative (in this thread at least, it's my natural state <points to .sig>), but in the middle of all the 'Ooh, Shiny!' bits, this popped up a warning flag.

Am I alone in expecting begging emails to start appearing in my (unused) inbox?

AAARGH!!!!!!

OK, so it's highly unlikely to pan out anything like that, but I had to vent on the possibility of giving over-entitlement syndrome sufferers a route to beg from other players

Overall, it's looking good to me, although my old fashioned preference for long arcs makes me think '4 missions in an arc? That's nowt.', but I think I'm almost alone in enjoying arcs like Indigo's or Madeleine Casey's where you actually *feel* like you're investigating a situation and involved in bringing it to resolution.

Exactly. They would've mentioned it, if it was. This is how weird rumors start. It's not reading between the lines, it's making stuff up.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Backpacks probably cause a lot more clipping issues than tails.

>_> Oh god I hope not. Fighting a Boss version of my Kat/Regen scrapper was rough enough in AE. And it didn't even have her fear powers from Presence.

And I won't go into the SS/NRg or SS/WP brutes it was just wrong.

Hence the part where I said, "I hope". No mention of it being a certainty.

Seeing as how I would murder anyone who abused my intellectual property as such...I've revised my initial DO NOT WANT reaction. If I face my doppelganger in game, I'll just murder him, too.

Well I strongly suspect animated tails will randomly slice through the backs of people's legs as they move around regardless. But I've been living with static tails stuck through my flying characters' legs for 6 years so I would much rather have these things moving with a bit of clippage than to not have them at all.

Just set the option to not receive emails from people that aren't in your friends list and/or SG. I've received 0 emails since that change has been put in...it's great

Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.

Issue 17: Animated Tails (and some other stuff)


 

Posted

I wish they would have just kept Ultra Mode until they were releasing ALOT of new content, like Going Rogue.

Is Issue 18 coming before Going Rogue?
I thought they hired all these new peeps so we could have new issues every 3 months or so. ?

edit:

Would rather have new task forces... could care less about updating old ones.
Happy some of you are getting animated tails, I have no interest.
8 missions is weak IMO, for a content update. When they said content update, I was thinking like 5 or 10 levels of content.


I hope this gets alot better, new zones with all new content. We desperatly need a new issues like this one: Forest of Dread

If that line's not already in someone's MA arc, it really needs to be.

I'm loving all the QoL in this issue. So much to love, I completely forgot about Ultra Mode.

I reckon it will be just be turned into a count badge with each half awarding part towards the whole thing.

BTW - I am very happy about this issue

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.

A lot of good stuff packed into this update. Especially excited about animated tails, been waiting for that since I started playing.

So animal animated tails some how make the game brand new?
Interesting.
