CoH is serious Business,Seriously
It's all a Nemesis plot.
I love this game:
So I was in PocketD getting my Valetine badges when I start the new valentine arc, after finishing it. Something came to mind... Why the hell they put Mis.Liberty as contacs!! His Grandfather die like 1 month ago! I don't intend her to be depress for 1 year like the chick from a very bad vampire movie . But if you gona make a arc for her PLEASE!! Don't give her the ONE where you can revive somebody that was Long dead!! Even less if her have lost both his MOTHER!! and GRANDFATHER!! in one month! THAT MONTH WAS HOLYDAY/XMAS!!! She should be depress painting his nail black and watching grace anatomy while eating ice cream. AND THE KICKER IS THAT SHE DECIDE YOU REVIVE, FREAKING RED WIDOW, BEST ASSASSIN IN ARACHNOS. WHY!!?!?!?! I don't get it! ether she is drunk or on some kind of illegal substance. Maybe she hated then. Is she is gona turn villain or vigilante and take revenge,so they most stay dead so it have a meaning? Plz don't tell me this is who will die #6. in a nut shell: http://qkme.me/363eq2 |
Now that you mention it, that is really f-ed up there.

Not only that, her plan to mellow Recluse out by bringing his love lost back from the dead turned out to be a complete failure when it turns out that her return only serves to ignite the frankly recently-dormant flame of his villainy.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!

I suspect she is wisely using Red Widow as a guinea pig. And just because Red Widow is "alive" now - who knows what side effects will be in play come next issue?

It look awesome Aggelakis, knew it could be better. Wish I have more ideas to throw around in the comment

Yeah I agree! This was a really "FUN" [please PLEASE realize this is being totally sarcastic] arc where I got to run around collecting parts so I could perform a botched ritual (which debuffed my character). Then when I finally get it right, THANKS Mz. liberty for those detailed instruction, I bring back to life an Arachnos Assassin. Next I discover my life is now somehow tied to this insane female I resurrected and I need to STEAL Cupid's Bow and Arrows. Hmm Okay so fact Countess Crey and the carnies probably obtained them illegally but when did I go from hero to thief? Then as the crowning moment arrives I battle my way into Grandville so I can .. serve as Recluse's pimp? Setting him up with his old girlfriend?? In what Bizarre world does the entire plot even remotely serve Longbow or any other law enforcement agency by giving Recluse back a skilled assassin and as we discover .. a renewed commitment to use his forces to force HIS will on the world?
Now on the Villain side this whole thing makes perfect sense. I reserrected Recluse's girl friend and at the same time gave him back a valuable weapon.. Now the guy owes me ... AGAIN.
This would have been bad no matter who the contact was hero side but I do agree that using Ms Liberty was crazy. So let's see in the past month or so my Mom and Grandfather have been killed at the hands of villains and hey I JUST found this ritual that MAY bring the dead back to life. So of course instead of using it to revive either of my loved ones, including the #1 super hero in Paragon City, I think I'll use it to revive an Arachnos Assassin. If I were Positron, since he seems the logical choice to fill Statesman's shoes as THE leader of the supers, I'd have to seriously consider contacted Tillman in Praetoria and reserving a room for Miss Duncan because she has gone totally insane.

�Those women are prostitutes? You said they were raising money for stem cell research!� � Sheldon
It felt like the whole thing was all kinds of crazy myself. Even if you justify it as a test run driven by obsessive grief it's out there to me. Didn't help that I'm currently leveling a hero for a change. Seriously, even with my life on the line it felt dirty to be breaking and entering to steal the needed items. When the first mission briefing was done I wanted the option to get Liberty counseling and stop her crazy plan.
As nice as it is to have new missions (and geez do I feel bad criticizing them since my story writing skills are horrid) this is one that won't be seeing play from me again (and I didn't even get the debuff). Sorry to whoever spent the time writing/organizing it; I'm positive I've liked/loved a lot of other stuff you've written!

I honestly think the devs used Libby because they thought she was the best character to model the new Pocket D costume items.

My wife and I kept saying the same thing over and over... why not raise mom? I'm SO confused!
I enjoyed the arc though. It just made a lot more sense from the villain side.
Heh, just realized it's the heroes doing villain's work instead of the other way around for a change.

Ms. Liberty: Good news first.
Longbow Researcher: You know that project you had us start a couple years ago to bring back the Red Widow? Yeah, we can do that now.
Ms. Liberty: That's great. Perfect timing: we can use that to bring back grandpa.
Longbow Researcher: I'm afraid that's the bad news. It won't work on Statesman. It only resurrects dead angry women.
Ms. Liberty: Mom?
Longbow Researcher: Insufficiently red.
Ms. Liberty: sniff. sigh.
Longbow Researcher: I understand. We can delay the Red Widow project until you've had a chance to absorb all this. By the way, that new costume you ordered made just came in.
Ms. Liberty: Awesome! Why didn't you say so? I'm going to go to go put it on and head to Pocket D right now and show it off. Gimme that, whatever it is death thing.
Longbow Researcher: Hey wait, there's this thing about blood I think we should talk about! Darn. Oh well, I'm sure she'll call us before sending anyone on a dangerous magical necromancy mission.

To the point, I noted in another thread asking why Ms. Liberty does not revive Statesman with a ritual that the #1 reason is that the Devs want him dead. Moving on.
Okay, what about Alexis Duncan? Ahhh, errrr, ummmmm. Right, Red Widow it is!
As folks have been noting, for the Heroes to want to bring the Red Widow back is sheer folly on its face. The fact that it backfires cannot be any sort of surprise. And again, it makes the Heroes look like incompentent idiots.
But as an extra added bonus, it appears you (the Hero) have to cut yourself and use your own blood during the ceremony?!?
Yeah, I'll be taking a pass on this one, too.

I would have forgiven that completely, if they made it so that if you decided to improvise a dance, your character actually did a really bad dance in the circle.

I also had two Council Soldiers standing on the circle the first time I did that mission.
When you think about it, how it should be the depression for her?
1)Denial- Go out and party out(Got a call from LB to go back to work)
2)Anger- screw mourning lets work in a way to screw arachnos(got call again)
3)Bargaining-Lets pick a random joe to my work(stare to you while tipsy)
4)Depression-Oh &*^$%, A super villain is back alive.(How could a forget about my dead mother and grandad )
5)Acceptance-F-this, I will stand in Atlas like nothing happen( Nobody can be angry to the orphan mourning girl)
I no a singel "thing" was giving that day.
