I know glowies don't wait, but for this mission i think they should. Sure there will be Lieutenants but it will still be a crappy farm if you don't kill the villain. I understand what you mean but some people like to farm and that's their style. You and I may not like to farm so we won't. |

this would be a lot better if it was implemented the same way that rikti raids and zombie raids work. in fact i would like to see something along the lines of the winter event this year where you beat up a gm and went into an instanced mission. |
As for your idea, i think it's a good one and they should do it.
Recently i saw Iron Man 2. It was the first super hero movie i had seen in a while so it gave me some ideas. I loved the scene were Whiplash fought Tony at the race track. And that got me thinking. Currently, almost every mission we have is for someone else. Newspapers are pretty much the only source villain driven plots. If they were to make this idea, villains can only go in to save Arachnos agents. What about the villains who don't work with Arachnos?
In short, the reasons for fighting the hero should be more personnel.
This might be a good introduction to a system similar to Nemesis in CO.
I love the idea of a showdown. Has all the dramatic and action elements I love about super heroes.
You could use the Infected map from the tutorial. It would be perfect; fight minions to the corner, turn the corner, fight to the bosses at the end. Plenty of room for hostages along the way. Simple. Fun. And easily dressed up for different villain or villain groups.
For the most part I do agree with the basic theme, but there's one thing I don't recall being considered in this thread...
How would one enter the instance? Train? Random door?
In any case, it seems like it would detract from the concept of the mission. Maybe it's just me. I hate the train part of train missions no matter how cool the mission is because it seems incredibly stupid to me.

I honestly thought this was going to be another "lets have open pvp in the streets of paragon" type thread, and was all set to stomp all over it....
However, this isn't a bad idea.
It's basically just a slightly different version of a safeguard mission, without the actual bank robbery.
It would need some fleshing out, but sure. /signed

Well the way i pictured it was the one long road, the minions would run at you and when they were all defeated, the boss would run forward and you only fight him (unless on a team.) The hostages would be behind him but run away when he's defeated so that they're not too easy to get.|

I think they would have to get in a train. It makes more sense than normally using a train because it usually leads to an outdoor mission, this would just lead to another part of the city.
It is a little different from safeguards. No time limit and there's a different plot. Also you don't rescue hostages in safeguards. I think it is a little similar but missions are very repetitive.
As for the repeating, i was thinking the only way to get the extra exp and inf. from the civilians is to complete the mission. That way the only rewards you'd be getting would be from the small number of minions who come at the start.
