SSA SPOILERS: He's WHO?!
SPOILERS
*Sigh*
Arc part 3 continues the trend of the hero side version being an inferior near copy of the villain version just with parts removed. Villains continue to get extra information and a major reveal while the heroes are denied the whole picture. In other words, you don't really lose out on anything from only playing the villain arc, but heroes are denied parts of the story in their arc.
And while villains don't get an exclusive cool temp power this time, heroes don't either when they should; to balance against getting nothing cool from the first two arcs.
Oh wait, heroes do get something this time. They get FORCED TO FAIL. Warburg is still full of Rogue Arachnos. A hero is dead, pointlessly.
Villains execute a beloved hero.
Heroes get to lose.
Devs get to stuff another woman into the refrigerator.
Must be getting crowded in there with the bodies of Seer Katie, Vanessa DeVore and War Witch.

Or we just haven't gotten the tweest yet.
Frinstance, no one even asked if this was the Primal or Praetorian one....

If you ask me, Villains are getting more information not only because they're the ones perpetrating this entire scheme, but because Mr. Behind Closed Doors is going to royally fork the villains over at the last minute.

Hello everyone!
I have edited the title of this thread to make it clear that people who do not wish the SSA to be spoiled for them that there are spoilers in the thread.
Thank you!

Well I really don't care because the 2nd Hero mission is bugged and I'm really not interested in starting the whole thing again in the hope that it'll work properly next time.
If they can't be bothered to QA this stuff before publishing it then I can't be bothered to play it.

Yeah, Johnny. Why? Why does this happen? Because the Villains struck first, struck hard, and struck where it hurts. They have the heroes by the yarblocko's and it shows. Consider the SSA title: WHO WILL DIE? A member of the Freedom Phalanx IS GOING TO DIE. How can you NOT expect some serious villainy to be happening? The heroes aren't going to stop it. It's how the SSA ends.

From an actual development stand point, it's stupid to limit one side.

Anyone care to spoil what the villains get to learn that the heroes don't? I don't really play redside at all anymore.
Shadowblaze - Lvl 50 Dark/Thermal Cor, Alexander Kalsoa - Lvl 50 BS/Regen Scrapper, and a whole bunch of other Alts. Global is @Shadowblaze.

That happens in the hero version too. And I figured it would happen from the loading screen.
Heroes get to learn that too :P
Also, if the devs are going to put up these nifty little splash art pages then they need to be sure the art DOES NOT SPOIL WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE YOU EVEN START.
Statesman staring in grief at shots of x-rays and a body on a slab with a toetag. Gee, that's not absurdly obvious that someone close to him is dead.
I played the hero version and we found that out as well. But I read all of the contact dialogue. Not sure I enjoyed this one. I rather liked that character, but it does mean at least one of my characters, who was professionally fond of her, will have a renewed sense of purpose. Yay for RP fodder, boo for WIR.

It doesn't come out and say it, but given Darrin Wade's role in the third mission it seems he's the hidden speaker from the previous two SSA's cutscenes.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
Positron: "There are no bugs [in City of Heroes], just varying degrees of features."
Didn't Villains already take her out of the picture in Mender Tesseract's arc during the Marchion Assassination?
Or was that just one of those beating them senseless deals?

O_O
The SSA just got very... very interesting.
