A female hero who is an Arachnos Soldier

Greetings,

Okay I have been wonder if Soldiers randomly attack me like Kheldians get attacked by Void Seekers. I did get one run in with like a small group of them when I was at my hero alignment tip mission door. I think what would be cool is if there was an Arachnos traitor PvE ambush from time to time along with dialogue. How long that would take to write as a code would probably take a very long time, but would be worth the wait.

Anyway, I am just so happy I am finally a hero today. It is awesome to see my soldier finally do missions like all the other heroes. Right after my alignment was finished I did not hesitate to do a heroic mission. I saved a Midnighter in the first chapter of the story arch. I can't wait to do more heroic missions in my villain costume with all those original villainous abilities.

I really hope I deal with similar ambush attacks like all Khelidians do. If not I look forward to it in the future!

THIS TOON IS NOW A HERO!

VEATs done have any specific enemy which is designed to kill them like void/quantums are for kheldians

the only thing VEATs need to be careful of is defense debuffs because even though they have a lot of defense, they have little to no resistance to the defense debuffs meaning their defenses could get slashed in a matter of a few attacks

Erm, if this is a suggestion to add those types, I /unsign right now. The quantums are part of the reason I despise Kheldians.

As for the question itself: no, Soldiers face no inherent weakness nor have a mob trying to get the jump on them.

Eh, Voids and Quantums had most of their teeth pulled a long time back. They aren't viewed by everyone as a grand ol' time (some people, like the OP, seem to like them), but they aren't that scary any more.

VEATs have no dedicated enemies. Given the vocal if not majority dislike of Khelds having dedicated enemies (including from teammates who dislike getting random enemies in their missions), I rather doubt we'll see them added for VEATs.

I was just wondering about this recently myself. I was on a CoH break when VEATs came out so I am not sure if a reason was ever provided as to why VEATs don't have these random enemies like Khelds do.

It would be cool, as some stated, if there were groups of Arachnos ambush squads that attacked VEATs at random intervals. I can't imagine Arachnos would be 'okay' with one of their own going AWOL and not take any action on these defectors.

Well, I suppose that makes sense then.

It also makes a lot of sense that no one would really wanna mess with a VEAT in the first place.

I can't see how my toon being a hero now (and never even going vigilante let alone villain ever again) would be considered a Destined One. I wish I would get rewarded after 6 months to a year for remaining a hero though. Of course my uncompleted villain badges will have to be ignored. I can live with that as long as I can be a hero in black helping out Statesman.

You know, it's odd when your fighting a mission entirely against the circle of thorns, and somehow, snuck between the mages, demons, and ghosts, is a techno-void stalker with a giant science-y gun.

Bit of a disconnect, that.

I think the idea of "Kheldian Kryptonite" fell by the wayside once the devs' datamining told them that, no, Ranged + Defense does NOT equal "Tank Mage". Tank Mage is Ranged and Defense in excess, not in balance. Voids pretty much have had their teeth pulled, so they are more atmosphere and backstory now, not some additional challlenge.

One thing to note about SoA, though, is that other Arachnos units aren't automatically friendly to you. They don't show up in other enemy groups' missions, like Voids, but they will aggro on you on the streets, just like any villain, and many of your missions put you up against them. In fact, the story arc states plainly that the other Arachnos soldiers resent you because you put your name on the Destined One list.

Of course, given that the whole point of the Destined One list in the first place seems to be "last one standing wins", and the fact that Arachnos as a whole seems to be constantly disrupted by infighting, that you would be attacked by other Arachnos really shouldn't be all that surprising.
