So this must be new. Or broken.

Fired up a new character, ran the tutorial. Selected to steal Blue Spectrum's powers, and out of the sky came this thing to shoot at me.

Is this WAI? I mean, if I do this again and go back as a Hero will I get jumped by an Arachnos flyer?

EDIT: Pardon the video quality, I did fast upload.

Devs hate villains?

Huh, I didn't know you couldn't die in the new tutorial. That makes sense though, with the no hospitals.

Did you hang around after stealing Blue Spectrum's power and not advance to the next area, or did it come right away?

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Totally trying this. Be back with results.

Edit: Just now ran it twice. It sits there regardless of which faction you choose. However, it won't attack you if you are a hero or if you run ahead without choosing just yet. If you're a villain, though, it'll attack. You can't target it or anything, either. I think it's a Chaser from the battle in the air that spawned in the wrong spot. Here's some pics.

No doubt about it, definitely a bug.

I'm gonna say bug, because I just ran the tutorial, and nothing fell out of the sky for me (I picked villain). When I aimed my camera up, I saw an Arachnos Flier and only two Chasers that it quickly blew up. The bugged one was probably already blown up before I had a chance to see it.

Pfft. Doing the tutorial. That'll teach you.

Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

That is awesome.

I still like the danger room bug for bases though!

That is pretty cool I really hope the devs keep it and make it so if you pick hero an Arachnos flyer attacks you, you can't die in the tutorial so it's not really a big deal and if you get sick of it just go to the next part no biggie.

Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!

I also got attacked by a Longbow Chaser.

Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

Heh. Guess now your character has to break out of the zig. :P

you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you <3

Dying in the tutorial became a problem in Going Rogue in combination with the self-destruct power. You could die, go to the hospital, and never get a starting contact, which IIRC made it impossible to graduate Praetoria without GM intervention (among other problems). Easier to add some code to prevent tutorial death and keep self-destruct from dropping until level 2 than to add hospital zones to each tutorial.
