Also,
>Why not pools powers on Custom Critters?
I think a Milirary Critter sould have leadership, or a Black Ops wit stealth, im not talking every single pool power on a minion, but two pools minimun to diversify critters.
Questions we've all asked in many threads.
Short answer:
The developers have abandoned developement on Mission Architect. The developers that are left will spend all their time on the incarnate stuff and booster packs.
So yeah... Guess they think there aren't enough interested in AE to devote dev time. Sorry to seem so negative. It's just the way it is...
Thast sucks, oh well, thanks for the heads up.
Now, you gotta realize this is both a wishlist and i actually do want to know why...not

And what, pray tell, are you basing that notion on? All recent issues and many patches have included alterations to AE, including new AE content. Unless development suddenly stopped right after I19, it's still being worked on.

Probably because they're too stupid to deal with the redraw. Rikti got gun swords because people could take advantage of their stupid AI to make them easier. Giving custom critters the same disadvantage would require too much tweaking to the reward system, otherwise it would be exploitable.|

I have used the SG base editor extensively. I don't see how it, or anything remotely resembling it could be applied to Mission Architect. Any map editor we ever get would have to be a different animal entirely.

Yeah, don't give this opinion as much weight as it gives itself. The devs aren't knocking themselves out over AE (that we know of), but they certainly haven't abandoned it by any means.

for a couple of reasons, first, as mentioned already, the SG base system is a broke enough system as it is, it struggled to get raids working, it's definitely not designed for regular missions, the amount of code to ensure that missions didn't become broke would be just too much.
This leads to my second reason, all mission maps will contain suitable spawn locations, places to have glowies and AI pathing so NPCs can find their way around. It would be borderline impossibility to truly be able to create "custom" maps with the tech currently available. That's not to say it couldn't ever happen, but i seriously doubt that it would ever really be tried.

This is a thread asking many questions of "why not" regarding the Mission architect.

Why is it that Peacebringers, Warshades, Arachnos Spiders, and Arachnos Widows, were left out of Custom Critters.
