Apex SF sucks!

Okay first of all like Techbot says.. "Hey this is MY planet if anyone is going to devastate it and take over it's gonna be ME!"

Next are you honestly telling me in 50 levels of game play you have never gotten a single mission from a contact that had you battling in Paragon City? Never did a Mayhem mission? Okay so there you are robbing the bank and blowing stuff up but there ARE banks in the Rogue Isles as well. Didn't you do your cape mission? That takes you to Steel Canyon to battle Longbow, OH big suprise a mission against LONGBOW (lol), and steal a cape from a hero.. There are heroes running around in the Rogue Isles. Apex has Primal Earth forces, VANGUARD volunteers probably since we do start out in the RWZ, protecting Kings Row and Steel City where the Praetorians are attacking. Tin Mage follows up with us defending Nerva in the Rogue Isles before we switch to protecting the Vanguard base in the RWZ.. a COOP zone. Eventually we all wind up in Praetoria taking the battle to them.. I don't see the problem. Lord Recluse has authorized Arachnos personnel to join Vangaurd and assist in defending planet earth. Now mainly that is supposed to be from the Rikti but if Cole and his Praetors plan to invade and destroy us its just as much a threat. Obviously LR thinks so or why would there be mission in Praetoria involing Arachnos agents sent to help the Resistance?

Why would a villain protect Paragon City?

Easy to take out the competition encroaching on his or her future empire and it is a well known fact super heroes are easier to deal with that super villain they have that whole morals thing

Why would an EVIL Scientist contract other villians to do the same?

Do you have any idea how much trouble it is to set up secret bases and lay conquest plans only to have some other villain stir up the heroes and screw things up. Of course any Evil scientist would set plans in motion to protect all his hard work even if it means shafting another villain even it it meant protecting Paragon city in the short term.

Keep on Scheming

When a villain goes to Paragon City, they are attacking Paragon City.

Except in the Apex TF.

Technically there's nothing left to attack in the zone since it is trashed during the Apex TF. Might as well fight the invaders I 'spose, although evil should have more options to reflect that they might prefer to join the Praetorian side instead of just fighting them.

What I don't get is why the non-TF zones (live zones) aren't trashed to reflect the Apex/Tin Mage TFs.

Posi came back and was all like "What the hell? I leave my post for five minutes to get a cup of coffee and this is what happens? Who's gonna clean all this up? Wait a minute....I just got an idea!"

I20 will bring us the re-revamped Positron Task Force. Your objective: clean up Blyde Square. It will of course involve many defeat alls to acquire cleaning supplies, and will culminate in a final epic mission where you go get Positron another cup of coffee.

I reported you for breaking NDA.

Can you fail the TF by bringing back black coffee?

What we need is Westin Phipps (co-op) Strike force where everybody gets to team up and go to Praetoria to kick their puppies, paint crude pictures on their clockwork and grab anything not nailed down (with a "crowbar" temp power for the items that are nailed down). All to support the war effort of course.


I do not suffer from altitis, I enjoy every character of it.

Plus there are also all those beefy Spartans in their menacing leather battle-diapers.

I'd sign up for that, especially if it also involved shaking down old ladies for thier SS checks as one of the missions!

I would totally go for a Westin Phipps SF where heroes got to tag along and automatically got shifted to Vigilante by the time they got to the last mish. Just because the horror of what everyone had done finally becomes apparent then. Um...sorry about those Hero Merits you had stored up.

That, or it devolves in to a PvP battle in the middle of the last TF. >.>

I believe people were talking about villains, not Rogues and Beavis & Butthead.

I do want to go to Praetoria and take their stuff. They have some really cool stuff. Sorry HVAS, we had some good times but I'm ready to move on. I got me a bigger robot.

Hopefully there'll be strike forces for old die-hard Loyalists which involve helping Cole's invasion efforts.

You might even get some Incarnate stuff too, if they expand on the idea of Tyrant and the Well being opposed by Prometheus.

Apex and Tin Mage are like most non-SFs in the game, they both lack the epic ending.

Virgil Tarikoss (Cap) - In a unique cave with all the Lava, The flaming chickens, Batzul and Infernal.

Silver Mantis (Shark / Base) - Fighting on the Skyraiders platform. Destroying it and fighting an AV.

Operative Ranault (Shark) - Fighting The MM AV and then the Eye in rare cave.

Ice Mistral (St M) - The Crystal Cave, and entering it by jumping down a hole.

Since these SFs, most newer content has lacked in the epic feel.
