Why do(es)......

An obsolete issue now, but something that used to bother me when I thought about it: the existence of "villainous ATs" and "heroic ATs". What, your child prodigy likes to build robots? Your mutant kid is developing the ability to use fire blasts and control the wind? She gets stronger when she gets into a fight? Sorry, the kid's a villain; we'll send him or her over to the Rogue Isles on the next ferry.

* Why hasn't the Minotaur statue in Talos Island used his Paragon Points to buy the bull head costume piece yet?

* Why does it seem every time I pop a yellow... ANY size yellow... I always miss the first attack directly afterwards?

* Why only half a helmet?

* Why do only Hellions and Skulls get girlfriends when Malta and Crey make such better money?

* Excluding creatures with no sense of smell (clockwork) and those who smell worse than the environment (Vahzilok); why would any gang want to hang out in the sewers when every warehouse in the city is apparently abandoned and unguarded?

* Seriously, why only HALF a helmet?

* Why do women in Paragon City bother carrying purses at all?

* Why hasn't some Stone-Shaping Arch-Villain just taught the Atlas Statue how to Sit?

* I mean, a FULL helmet I could understand... but half a helmet? And he's more interested in protecting his face (where he can see them coming) than he is the back of his skull... It just doesn't make sense...

* Why are the war walls still up when apparently the Rikti have a device the technological equivalent of a garage door opener?

* Why do the police wait OUTSIDE the bank during Mayhem missions and leave the actual bank protection up to a private security firm?

* Why haven't the rest of Freedom Phalanx told Statesman how stupid he looks?

And finally....

* Why do I keep making these lists when hardly anyone reads them anymore?

Here's a simple answer for the OP:

Variety is the spice of life.

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.

Why did the Rikti have to go to such lengths to turn off the war walls in the first place when they could have just as easily flown over them? For all their apparent technological superiority, they apparently forgot how to make helicopters (which you can see flying over the war walls in Atlas Park).

I can take a War Mace/anything scrapper, right out of the box without enhancements, and do much more damage than any Blaster from level 1-26, while being much much safer doing so.

Blasters used to be the undisputed kings of damage but that title vanished years ago. It's high time we fixed that discrepancy.

this is why i can't play a blaster past level 10 or 12. granted i prefer an archetype that includes def/res, but if a blaster gets NO mitigation i think the damage discrepancy should be higher. i just don't feel like Blasters do enough to warrant their level of squishiness.


Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.

screw your joke, i want "FREEM"

When you figure this out, let me know. It drives me insane.

Because wallets for pants is a Male-only item.

Maybe that says something about how thick his skull is?

Actually it'd be more awesome if it worked the other way around.

"THE RIKTI ARE INVADING!"
*ZWISH* (The War Walls activate)
"Okay, instead of just standing here and watching them fly overhead, you, you, and you, keep the power system for the War Walls up so they can't do bombing runs!"

Crey aren't allowed girlfriends, it cuts into the profit margin. And Malta are so confused with all the masks & code names that they aren't sure who is a girl.

"Well, 'Kitty Kat Bravo' sure sounds like a girl name...but look at those shoulders! Agent Tulip maybe?"

I thought that only happened to me, Steelclaw. It seems I am not alone. Maybe Dark_Respite, yourself and I should start a "Used A Yellow And Missed" support group.

As you're passing their way?
Their ardor's spent...
They know that that's no mating scent...

You paid for the entire helmet, but you'll only need the edge.
