Praise (for a change)
I can guess without being told which of the Phalanx was a jerk to you.
Because he IS a jerk. That's a core trait of the character.
I didn't even need the clues you provided.
"Hmmm, a Freedom Phalanx member was a jerk to someone? Who could THAT have been?"

By far after being here since dec of 2004..i think its a great idea to finally get to play and interact with the p.f...frankly its been a long time coming.
Im hoping at this point this continues cause with states gone my fire tank is just the man for the job!

I'll get my 7-year token this month. For a long time I played quietly, primarily solo (though I was with an absolutely fantastic SG for a few years), and my forum presence was mostly just lurking, and learning. Lately, because I'm somewhat worried about some directions the game seems to be taking, I've started to post some complaints -- ones I still feel are justified, even though some folks do not agree (which is fine).
But I'm not complaining in this post. Not even about the thing that always annoys the heck out of me when reading text in the game lately. Wait...that didn't count, did it?
It's because I want to thank the devs for some outstanding storylines and mission variety in recent issues. I specifically want to single out the DA solo Incarnate storyline and the first chapter of Pandora's Box, which I just completed.
Never before have I felt so ...well...super... in this (or any other) game.
I had swapped my main hero and villain each over to the other side when GR came out, and they stayed there until i22, when the events in DA affected each of them so significantly that they each decided it was time to come back to their origin. And, even leaving the story aside, the missions themselves are so varied (some more...challenging...than others... "Oh man, is it time to solo Sister Sol's arc again already?") that I haven't gotten tired of running through them repeatedly to work on my Inc abilities. This was pretty much exactly what I was looking for when they said there would be a solo Inc path. (Not that I would say no to new Inc arcs with every issue!)
As for Pandora's Box, it was such a good feeling to interact with the Freedom Phalanx and feel respected by them. Well, except for one of them -- because of a decision I made in the arc -- but why should I listen to someone who lied to me repeatedly and treated me like an idiot in a lowbie training arc I had to do via flashback for the badges...? No, no, no: I said I would not be complaining! (Does that count?) It was a really nice surprise to find this SSA does not exemp a char down from 50, so I felt that my actual character as she is now was the one interacting with these signature heroes, and it almost felt like being in a SG-oriented comic book or film. Here's hoping this continues as this SSA moves on.
So, thank you, devs, for giving me interesting epic story missions that I can run solo if I wish. I've been splitting my time recently between CoH and another, quite story-driven MMO, but given that combat in CoH is so much more fun, combined with this level of story/mish design, I can certainly tell you that CoH is not going to lose by comparison.
