Also, more flying monsters. I think the only ones we have are the Arachnos Flyer (which technically isn't a 'monster.') and the Seed of Hamidon.
As long as they're done like the Seed or Flier, that's cool. But Caleb is a flying monster as well, and he has a habit of flying wherever he likes, including so high in the sky he can't go any higher. I don't want any more of that, and wish Caleb would get fixed one of these days.

Crey needs a massive revamp in zone presence. In low level zones they need to be allies and and have presence as a corporation responsible for bringing Paragon into the future. Then you go through the mid level arcs, seeing them as allies that don't actually care about saving lives or helping people. Then in the Brickstown range you start uncovering their plots, and around here is when, in less populated areas, they con as yellow. And in zones like Crey's Folly, they only con yellow or red, depending on how close you are to protected areas. And then high level content they're straight up bad guys and you know full well they're ruthless and only want power, money, and control.

Doubt it'll ever happen, though. I can't remember the last time Crey was relevant.

The problem is, that they're a level 30s villain group. They're plenty relevant when you're at those levels, but you do your best to uncover their plots and take them down a peg or six. Honestly, I'd promote the Crey as a bigger deal, in so far as they're the big corporate villain type group and it seems a shame that they vanish about around 41. That's a bit of a thematic loss.

Post 40, have them trying to scrub up their image. Introduce a high level arm of unmasked multi colored Protectors(See? How open we are?) and some new Crey tech design that has some design similarities to the old school Crey design. Granted, they'd still be up to old tricks, but maybe add some nuance in there now, some honest to goodness decent heroes trying to do right, just misguided, as well as the out and out bad eggs.

If for nothing else, it'd give us more spandex(as well as tech) types to fight compared to CoT Cultists and Carnies, and drab Council and ever-present annoying Malta to fuss about with.

actual giant monster attack, especially with the attack different body parts is good idea concept. Maybe they knock down some building to squash stuff while they are rampaging through a zone.

true but there are threads that was created in 2007 that seems to be still going. One named Repeat Offender Network, First Thing That comes to mind, and Union: Last Night In Pocket D Thread to name a few and there are probably more that was active within the last couple of days. While old persay, it aint a records yet nor unheard of.

Continuously active threads, versus one that didn't have a post in it for two years, are considered very different things, even by the Mods.

Also, for reference: Giant Monster Size Chart. Miss Liberty is on the far left as a regular size player character equivalent.
see this chart could be useful when i made this post a long time ago !!!!! but i still would love to see a few more big baddies + the building that can be knocked into ( or have parts taken out of) so you can see the inpact of a fight ( like superman crashing down into the tar and leaving a crater or godzilla swiping claws and taken a large chunk out of a build simlaer to the one in skyway city or a ship (IP) slowly sinking with men in lifeboats thanks to a hold from the tal of a sea monster -somthing in that idea it not just aboutthe guy it the damage done that make me say WOW DID I JUST DO THAT. . . . or look what happen when so and so trys to attack my city this is a can of whoppe-*** we opened up even if thier just a small island where heros and villan can work on diffrent monster


***king kong climbing a build and heros having to - ( FLY or hover ) to attack and the ape swiping at JETS that shoot and once it all over the hero must then climb to top and save the lone women at top while the 100ft crater is left from the dead ape

or

*** gozilla slowy walks out of the water thx to a nuke dope at a offshore power plant ( oil rig) and starts to go thought city swiping at and stoping carts trains ( cutting of help from any member that has not mapped in to zone from a safe area)

*** or a inpendence day style full on blow the freaking build apart with lazar and all build in area start to inplode (abandoned property - to protect innocent) with the end result of the riki raid look and a riki raid like end (32 player start who going to finsh )

*** or a bane like fight where it winner takes all - and the loser get blocked out from playing for a week as thier did not mesure up to the GODS wrath

That was a glitch in the Zombie Invasion code that was causing the Elite Boss-class zombies to spawn at those ridiculous sizes (which really makes one wonder what other code might have seeped in to cause the glitch...). Sadly, they fixed it a while ago.

There's only one hope for us now...

1. Rularuu is not in-game (yet...).
2. Are you saying we should be satisfied with "good enough"?

If we settled for "good enough" we probably wouldn't have gotten the Seed of Hamidon which is pretty friggin' large (I don't tend to count Primal Hamidon since strictly speaking Hamidon is just the nucleus and not that large comparatively speaking).
