Feedback From the NPCs on Freedom


BrandX

 

Posted

Thought I would interview a few of the City of Heroes NPCs and get their opinions on the upcoming changes we can expect in Freedom.

* Statesman - Free to play? I don't know... sounds like a lot of pink-o commie stuff to me... what? I thought McCarthyism had a few valid points...

* Ghost Widow - I find I can live with... no pun intended... the changes they have in mind... I have but one small request... they CAN install a fan-boy filter on those joining for free... right? Right?!

* Lord Nemesis - Yes, yes... that plan IS coming along rather nicely, isn't it?

* Captain Mako - Fresh Fish! Fresh Fish! Fresh Fish!

* Emperor Cole - Freedom? No, no... I don't think I can support that... sounds subversive.

* Lanaru the Mad - Chihuahua cheesecake commandos! Cult of the Platypus! Marmalade... for the love of god, MARMALADE!

* Synapse - Time Manipulation you say? Hmmmm.. interesting... I wonder if it could slow down my superspeed a bit...? It could help me with my er... ::glances back over shoulder at a very attractive but frustrated looking woman behind him:: errr... my little personal problem...

* Mender Lazarus - Time Manipulation as a super power? Been there... done that... bought the tee-shirt.

OR....

* Mender Hipster - I was into Time Manipulation before it was main-stream.

* Back Alley Brawler - Wait a second here... I think I see a typo in your copy... yes, I'm sure it's a typo... this whole paragraph right here about Galaxy City... No, I am SURE it's a TYPO... just c'mere within reach of my hands and look a Little CLOSER...

* ForeShadow - Pshh.. like I didn't see THAT coming...

* Citadel - Yet ANOTHER server duplicate of myself and our world? <sighs> Very well... beginning copy and paste of base operating system... again...

* Coyote - Downsized? Reorganization? WHAT reorganization?!

* Hamidon - YeeEEEAAAaaah! Thought you got rid of me didn't you Cole?! Oh yeah, who's your Hami... it's my birthday.... (movie voice) just when you thought it was safe to go back in the First Ward...

* Lord Recluse - Ummm... hello? Anyone remember me... (tap tap... tap tap...) is this thing on?

* War Witch - Great... just great... so one of me is DEAD... the next me is an alcoholic and... if the pictures are to believed... the most recent version of me is dresses like a tramp and apparently hangs around with Medussa... probably getting stoned... (Starts hammering her fist against the 4th wall between herself and the Devs) what the heck did I ever do to YOU guys?!

* Silver Mantis was unable to be reached... actually we haven't been able to track her down since Stamina was made an inherent... .... .... heh.


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

Miss Liberty: You mean I have to train up even MORE newbs? Oh...the new entry point will be in Galaxy City. Wait...WHAT?!?!?!

Manticore: So...how many TA/Archery Defenders will I get to train up THIS time?

Dr Aeon: Mwahahahaha! Yes! My Time Distorter worked! By going back in time and teaching my temporal theories to all of thos morons who scoffed at me in school I've now managed to cause reality to manifest as Temporal Control!

Huh? What do you mean that I will no longer have exclusive control over Time? So...in trying to convince others that my ideas were sound I've just rendered myself OBSOLETE? Turn that thing off! We'll scrub that one and re-record it. LIVE? What do you mean LIVE?


((Best LOL I've had all week btw!))

Funny list, and I feel bad about bringing it down, but ya just helped me to realize a sad point about the new tutorial experience.

I feel bad about Coyote myself, since I vaguely remember the story of how that character got named. Hopefully he's around in some manner in the new tutorial.

The first one made me nod. Shame how silent Recluse seems ever since co-op content started coming around.

The second made me laugh in a major "I feel so dirty" way XD

Coyote still needs to be around in game one way or another.

Oh, he will be. He'll still be in the Hero Ouroboros introduction mission, after all.

That said, I'd like to see what happened to all of the original tutorial NPCs - hero and villain.

Well, nothing says they can't be in the new tutorial fighting along side BABS (or possibly against him).

* Aurora Borealis: I would very much appreciate it if members of the Press, and the Hero and Villain Communities, would stop calling me "One Serious Mother" behind my back when they think I'm not listening. It's bad enough that my husband calls me "Mommy MINE!" with that big happy grin on his face when we're alone together.

* Sister Psyche: There are only two people who know what ... traits ... Mother Mayhem and I share in common. Those two people are Manticore, and Praetor Sinclair ... and they BOTH know better than to talk about what they know with ANYONE ... <glares into camera>

* Blue Steel: I'm just hoping we won't need continuous Rikti Raids to clear the streets of Kings Row of all the new wannabes we're going to be seeing in the future.

* Vanessa DeVore: Hello? Can I get a Task Force? A Strike Force? A Trial? Something? Am I going to need a lawyer here? Somebody get me Chris Jenkins!

* General Hammond: Welcome to the Shadow Shard! Will we ever see YOU again? We don't get a lot of Frequent Fliers out here ...

* Faathim the Kind: You do know that Kindness has its ... limits ... yes?


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
