My New Best Friend - Black Scorpion

Very much agreed.
Here's hoping you guys do the right thing and make custom critters that are more difficult than standard critters worth more XP. Right now, they're worth the same or less, and that makes AE very unattractive. Sure, I like a good story or even just a new story, but there's no reason that story can't come with rewards commensurate with the higher risks custom critters bring.

Oh good, I was just thinking you guys hadn't been spending nearly enough time on Architect over the last year and a half. Are you sure one more resource is enough? Maybe you should pull staff from the AI, Base Building, PvP, Endgame, and mission-tileset-making departments.
Black Scorpion normally works with Synapse and Castle and all things power-related, but he'll also be helping out with Mission Architect powers from here on out. He'll be doing things like looking at balance issues in terms of power and experience for custom powers in Architect. This is especially important given the new custom experience system that we'll be rolling out with i17.

The two of you should just do what villians are good at...drag the AE system off to a deserted spot, torture it for a few hours, shoot it in the head, then bury it where no one will ever find it.
Hopefully that will send a message to any other resource-sucking wastes of time that try to worm their way in to the game, so that you can get to working on things that will actually improve the player experience.
A good villain would make the AE system as attractive as possible, to distract those stupid heroes with shiny video games, thus leaving them free of intereference while they take over the world.

Welcome Black Scorpion, and gratz on your level-pact with Dr. Aeon. I think 'good cop / bad cop' is an interesting simile, but wouldn't Villain / Lackey be more appropriate? And that raises the question of who is who.
*stands clear*
Now...fight!
