Devs: Thanks for the Valentine Missions
To Positron from U'Kon Gr'ai...
Valentine Misdelivery
The city needs the best. That includes you, Kadmon. What's this?
Blue Steel reads the message on your phone and his mouth draws into an even finer line.
U'Kon is in for a surprise, Kadmon. Threat scanners can't read me, because I don't make threats... I make promises.

That is all.
I'd never use a nuke in a superhero universe. You nuke a city, you kill 1.5 million people minus one. The last guy not only gets superpowers from the explosion, but ones that let him survive a nuke...and wow, is he torqued off

Yeah, these are awesome - they're almost like a mini lore tutorial for NPCs

I'm especially fond of Sally's sentiments. For once there don't appear to be any lore errors in the new content!
Admittedly, I think it would be nice if there were a Fusionette/Faultline wedding event, similar to the Manticore/Psyche one from a few years back. What can I say? I'm a big softie sometimes

I appear to be severely missing something and cannot unlock the Valentines delivery missions somehow. It makes me feel cheated. And angsty.

(This is a slight reworking of an idea I'd had like 4 years ago back when Manti and Psyche got married)
1) At least two missions sending you to all the different Tailors to find the right outfit (first in your size, and then in stock)
2) Stopping a jewelry store from being robbed (which just happens to be the one where the happy couple bought their rings, which are now stolen, oh no!)
3) Track down and beat the snot out of whoever stole the rings
4) The Carnival of Shadows has bought all the good shoes for women, so go stomp on 40 of them until you find a CoS chick with the right size feet and swipe her shoes
5) Someone's abducted the officiant... go save that poor sap
6) Go fight certain groups to collect certain types of salvage to invent 'the perfect wedding gift'
7) Oh crud, now the bride and groom have gone off to fight danger, go bail them out so they can get to the wedding
8) Timed mish to get to the wedding on time, with at least five groups out to stop you, and no travel powers work (because isn't that always the world works?)
The possibilities are endless...

The Valentine's deliveries have given me much greater respect for the greatest playa in all of Paragon City: Synapse. He's too goshdarn adorkable.
And who else went to deliver the Valentine's to Fusionette, saw it was at the transit, and fired up all their armors before going in?
These have been the best delivery missions ever.

Seriously, to quote his own strike force: "The one you call Virgil Tarikoss is known to me as Tarikoss the Vigilant, a guardian of balance and an ally of the good and the just."
The guy is like a lazy version of the Punisher, trying to send villains to their death to make the world a better place. He was vigilante before vigilante was an alignment. Unfortunately he's also the only magical villain contact the Dev team can remember. Peter Themari would have been a much better choice if it had to be a Cap contact.

Just wait until you find a Valentine from yourself.
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
These new missions are great fun and I really enjoyed them on my main, was a little disappointed to see that Preatorian characters can't do them though, as they don't have a tips tab for the delivery missions and aren't considered heroes or villains

Oh, hells no. She deserves someone a lot better. Can you imagine when they're 80 years old? "Honey, I've fallen and I think I might have broken my hip!" "Wow, that sucks, sweetie pie. I'll just walk outside and wait around for a while. Maybe we'll get lucky and someone will stop who can call 911 for you."
What an angsty jerk.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
Now that Statesman's dead, Jimmy mightn't feel so conflicted.

These are great and there are enough characters in both cities to keep this happening for the foreseeable future.
Great work devs!
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
My enjoyment of them is majorly impacted by getting tips to the wrong side.
Trying to get the badges on my villian is a pain in the rear. Having to earn then drop a dozen bad tips before getting one I can actually go to the zone for is crap design.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Actually, I'm hoping for the opposite. I want the devs to break them up. I mean, come on. Jim's girlfriend gets kidnapped and is in mortal danger, so he... stands there waiting for a hero to come by and rescue her?

So yeah, my original point still stands.

I must be missing something, because I can't get the new NPCs to give me the missions. They don't tell you why, either. Do you have to be a VIP or something?

I know that not everyone is a Lorehound like me, but I wanted to publicly give the Devs kudos for the Valentine's Day missions.
I am enjoying the bits of game lore tossed in with the humor.
I don't always agree with everything that's done in the game storywise, but I wanted to say that I am really enjoying these.
