That was pretty awesome - someone even made an AE misison called something like "Michael Bay's City of Heroes" which was just an outdoor map with nothing but Rikti Drones on it - it was "defeat all"

I am pretty sure that isn't a bug.

The one that lets +regen and +recovery unique IOs be enhaceable was a bug, and it was a nice one.

Jump Kick used to have a very very high mag Knockdown...not sure if it was intended or a bug, but seeing the Kronos Titan getting knocked on its shiny metal butt repeatedly was pretty funny.

Yeah, that was my favorite. The drones were powered by explodium.

It isn't now. There was a redname post that basically said "Um, we made a mistake, but it's kinda in the player's favor, so...it's a new feature! Yeah, that's it!"

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?

A: You crash into another one.

I liked the bug we had for a while where a lot of mission ambushes seemed to be hostile to everything in the mission, so setting off a bunch of ambushes and running through the mission would result in lots of enemies wiping each other out.

I also like lots of text bugs that are still in the game, like "We're slag golems and we're attacking!" or just "text".

Also missions with ambushes of the wrong faction, so you have random Arachnos minions running at you yelling "SKREEEEEE!" or a bunch of Freakshow showing up and yelling "Get the Freakshow!" and proceeding to attack other Freakshow.

Ghost Widow took care of those malcontents.

Shortly after Issue 7 went live......archvillains and Giant Monsters became near impossible to defeat, and for some reason, the supply of radiation Defenders and Controllers just dried up at the same time.

Now it's a really random bug and I've only ever encountered it ONCE ingame myself but it does happen.

It seems to strike if you keep a mission from prior an issue update to after an issue update and something happens with the enemy group database (they add new ones for example) but you'll walk in to your apparently carnival of shadows etc. radio mission and be greeted by Siren's Call Phantoms

It was with the launch of I7, I think - I remember the epic badge hunt in RV - the AVs took a long time to go down

Mebbe it's the quality of the picture, but I would swear that looks like Vic Sage AKA The Question.

A lot of good memories in this thread. I'll add the ghost ship aggroing and then viciously bearing down on any /invuln in Talos.

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.

Neither did The Question. But of course, he had a special mask. The reason I named Vic Sage, is because he's dead now and a woman took over the role of the Question. Just to avoid confusion.

Does the new Question have a face?

Only in her civilian identity. She has a similar mask.

How about the Facemaker's face? Has that even been fixed yet?

^Really, I'm surprised more people don't look like that in the Rogue Isles...

It looks more like a sneak peak for the mutant booster pack

You can sell IO recipes to your Base's Auto-Doc which still works.

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

Sadly, that wasn't a bug. It was intentional. The devs decided it was a bit too extreme and scaled it back some along with adjusting the -regen resistance on AV's.

"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

The one Dr Mechano refers to.
If you have a radio mission unsolved when a new issue is launched it will change the villain group in this radio mission into any new group of the issue.
I've had Council turned into Grandville citizens (which I felt was very wrong attacking as a hero). And Favourite would be Arachnos swapping into Cimerorean traitors.
..
...
I have not finished that mission, I wonder if it is still filled with cimeroran traitors. (And thus could be used to help give lowbies the cimeroran badge)

When the devs first implemented auto-exemplaring on Task Forces, any character already in the middle of a TF (any TF, of any level) when it was pushed to Live would get auto-exemplared to level 1.

Guess how I and the rest of the Synapse TF team I was on found that one out.
