I've been daydreaming lately of what it might be like if the player had an option to forego the Ancillary and Patron power pools and instead simply receive 4 extra levels-worth of enhancement slotting. On the approach to level 50, most builds are already loaded with powers, with Incarnate abilities on the horizon. It might be nice to take a break from acquiring powers and 6-slot the ones we already have to beef them up to their full potential. That, and way back in a long forgotten dream, I used to take the fitness power set in a time before it became inherent. While it was great that they became inherent, it also meant that your enhancement slots were going to be split with 4 additional powers, and in current builds, I find myself neglecting the fitness skills in favor of all these daggone things I have to click on that I never wanted in my tray to begin with. Obviously, a player who would chose to opt out of Epic pools should be able to do so on a per-build basis. It could be neat if there was a contact you had to go to who would send you on a mission to learn the skills of focusing on your already-learned abilities, and afterward you could train and respec with them in order to access the revised leveling. I wonder if that would be possible without breaking leveling across the whole game. Anywho, that's been on my mind lately.

Bumping due to increased relevance! I hear the HC team is cracking down on copyright infringing player owned characters! Why not blow off some steam with the most meta AE arc around!? Crack down on the infringements within an infringement! Layers upon layers, man!

A few simple questions: I am looking for a map to use which might feature the steps in front of the coin in King's Row. Is there and AE map for that? WHY NOT?! I was also hoping to include War Witch as an NPC, but did not find her under the Freedom Phalanx. I guess not every trainer/signature character is available? Or is there another category to find them? OH AND I THOUGHT the "everyone on the map speaks all at once" glitch was fixed, but as of my first playtest this morning that was not the case. Any suggestions to delay the speaking of these lines? Maybe just avoid all idle comments??? Maybe more questions as I progress through the arc I'm writing.

My #1 wish for AE is for basic fighting fighting abilities to create basic enemies and thugs that aren't fully super-powered, like the so-named "Fighting" power pool abilities but with the addition of a basic pistol or handgun power. Are these skills included somewhere and I just don't know where to look? After that, I'm looking forward to the eventual (hopefully) inclusion of the premium power sets (most notably absent is water blast) for AE enemies. Last I knew these were available for players but not NPC's. I e-mailed with one of the Dev's and they said it was likely coming (the rest of the power sets) but I haven't followed up to see if they've implemented them yet. Also would be great if we could tick a box to make certain NPC's use Beast Run by default!!! This could be where the flight option is. It would help greatly to distinguish a character's well... character. Hidden costume pieces unlocked! I posted a threat about wanting to make custom Trolls. AFAIK they're faces/heads are hidden. Best we can do is green skin and an angry face, but no horn-lumps! I'm sure there are other similar pieces which are hidden. If I am mistaken and we already do have any of these things, PLEASE let me know! Otherwise, what are YOUR wish list items for AE NPC's???

Hey True Believers! Stanley has asked you to take the fight to a group of Infringers patrolling the streets dressed as HIS creations and serve them a cease and desist! It is wise to go up against these Mighty Infringers in a small group, as some of them have powers that rival the Gods themselves (EB and AV's)! Arc ID 3696 Contains uniquely made costumes by the author. 4 missions Mission 1 - Defeat all signature heroes TIP: Some of them may be hiding between the war wall and the buildings. It's annoying but placement on an outdoor map is randomized. Mission 2 - Defeat all reserve members in their training facility Mission 3 - Defeat the most powerful Infringers! Mission 4 - The True Boss revealed! Defeat the boss and his cronies before they destroy existence itself!

Is it possible to recreate Trolls using Costume Creator? I ask because I'd like to create a unique family of Trolls, and also have a mission using Trolls with no level cap. It seems like the horned skull that trolls have is unique and hidden, as far as I can tell.

Hi, I may not have enough information on this, but so far any time I have been in a team with First Ward/Night Ward missions, my game crashes when I attempt to load the mission map. It first happened several weeks ago when the game was still fresh, and I thought OK I'll give it time, but last night I was in a group with a mission from the Trinity contact (no idea who the previous one was) and it crashed again. The first one was at a door, last night was at a portal, so the specific location seems to make no difference. On a side note, I was able to load a mission map from a Night Ward contact when I was SOLO, but in a team, still crashed. Thanks for any help you can provide on this!
