Worst Team Mates Ever

So there I was, running through the new Hero's Epic arc from Maria when I get this new team mate. Apparently he thought I needed a hand.

Now, I'm on my Granite tank stealthing to the end because I was after the AV's (not realising I needed to do the flashback version because siege was missing from the new version) so I took off and this muppet followed me aggroing everything behind me. So I unhid, cleared out the mobs and took off again. Checked the mini map, he's not following. Had to go back and grab his attention multiple times. Fortunalty, he was a pretty good fighter so I didn't have to work too hard to look after him in a fight.
He stuck around for a few missions then just dissapeared, without so much as a good bye.

A bit later on I had someone else offer to join, but they didn't accept my invite, which is a pain as I could have used the help on Malaise and Mother Mayhem. Stupid Psi attacks!

Then when I go to take on Infernal and Diabolique I get another teammate. Think she knew the first guy, different SG though. She was OK, didn't get stuck as much, but she killed Diabolique on me, so I didn't get the credit.

Then, I get 2 real chumps on the last couple of missions in the arc, same SG as the first bloke.. Freedom something. Aggroed everything in sight. Couldn't walk past a door to a dead end room without shooting. So annoying. At some point they both died and instead of heading to the hospital they both quit!

So if you see Ms Liberty, Positron, Sister Psyche or Manticore advertising for a team don't bother. Statesman wasn't too bad, but not really worth the effort either.

Reading this through to the end is important... lol.

The first time you blew my mind. The second time I fell over a little bit trying to work out who was who.

Just do the new arc and then start hitting Ms. Jenkins up for the one-off missions. Take and abandon (not complete) them until you get the one for Siege. Only issue is that New Siege is much more annoying than Old Siege due to some giant heal when he hits 20% or so.

Oh, and the last time I did the arc, I made sure to Ninja Run off and leave my "helpers" behind. It's just easier that way.

^^ This.

Yeah I was on my DA/DM tanker in a team doing this arc last night and got the one mission with Positron in it...yeah...he lasted 1 room I think...was aggro'ing EVERYTHING! Sheesh.

Manticore wasn't too bad actually.

I always like teaming with the signature heroes - I just wish that the Freedom Phalanx base was available for players to go visit.

You're a stone tank, you should have Psi defense.

Clever.

Statesman was a bit of a KSer...


I find your lack of signature disturbing.

Damn... the Wiki doesn't have siege as appearing in one offs. Done now, just Antimatter to go.

Manticore and Posi weren't too bad, albeit a bit on the squishy side.
I didn't mind Serpent Drummer, he seemed to kill everything pretty quick.

Isn't their base destroyed? It was in Baumtown wasn't it? Their new one is Fort Trident if the dialogue in there is anything to go by.

Yeah, I do. I had some issues swapping toggles and forgot to set rooted before dropping Granite and got perma-held. I hate Psi cos I have to swap powers for it.

Their old one was destroyed, but they have a new one in the comics - which could be Fort Trident.

Sister Psyche was a no-show for me, too. I was rather put out, since Malaise was the only one my MA/SR scrapper actually had trouble with.

According to the Wiki that is a bug.

Damn that was funny. I read through thinking the rage was building.............then I laughed. Thanks for that.

*laughs*

That reminds me of my old arc, "Lights... Camera... MAYHEM!" where you rescue the Freedom Phalanx so they can help you rescue my videographer character from Recluse, Nemesis, Countess Crey, and God knows who else, all of whom are mad at her for making bad videos about them...

Anyway, at one point, we had Statesman and Synapse with us, and States obviously had Foot Stomp autokeyed... except he kept stomping on Synapse's foot. (No joke. If we were just standing there, he would zoom over to Synapse, and STOMP!)

John commented, "Dude, it's like Synapse keeps going, "PSYCH!" on him as he whips his foot out of the way..."

(Laughter is apparently conducive to teamwipes.)

Synapse/Statesman pairing?
