New Riots in Talos! mission will not complete
Eva Destruction replied to MrSnottyPants's topic in Bug Reports
I'm having the same problem. I rescue him, I get him to follow me to the door, when I get there the mission objective disappears from the nav bar but the mission doesn't complete. I've tried it three times now. I picked the heroic option in all previous missions if that makes a difference, and didn't clear the optional objectives in the mission itself, although I did clear out the warriors in the building. -
Well yeah, he SAYS he has a bunch of strongholds set up throughout time. That doesn't mean he actually has them. It's a potential storyline seed but it's just as likely he's making stuff up to make him sound more badass than he is rather than admit he just got his ass kicked.

It's revealed in the Mysterious General Z arc. Level 25-30 blueside.

There isn't a 5th Column stronghold in Cimerora though. We wipe it out on the ITF. There might be some stragglers but Imperious does have his own dudes around to keep them in check, after Rommy and his buddy from the future are gone. None of them had to survive, the 5th Column formed during WWII, then some of them went back in time but the ITF is the end of that plot. It's not a time loop. I would like to see them try to establish a connection between Cimerora and the Path of the Dark though. I think it was in the AMA where one of the devs said they'd totally forgotten about the Path of the Dark when they wrote the ITF, because of course they did, your job is to write lore for a game where a lot of people nerd out about the lore and you can't even remember your own lore? But I digress. Dirge of Entropy does the nasty in the past-y and becomes his (its?) own grandfather, it practically writes itself.

Yep, that AMA just showed that it was actually a good thing they never got to do all the story arcs they wanted to. Some of their plans were...really dumb. Like having Cole pretend to be Statesman because humanity needs a leader against the Coming Storm, that was probably the dumbest. Yes, let's hand a former fascist dictator a cult of personality on a silver platter, that'll end well. The redemption sotrylines that did make it into the game aren't much better. Paretorian Percy Winkley kills the entire Midnight club in a fit of incel rage? Well he helped us that one time, so all is forgiven! Anti-Matter helped uphold a tyrannical regime and tried to nuke a whole city in a fit of incel rage? Well he helped us that one time so he's a hero now! For player characters it has to be that easy because it would be a lot of added work to establish that hero contacts might work with you but they don't entirely trust you and they certainly don't forgive you for all the bad stuff you did as a villain, but for NPCs it's just lazy. So with that precedent, I'd fully expect any Scirocco redemption sotryline they came up with to be wrapped up in four missions, with a "thank you for your service, all is forgiven, welcome to the Freedom Phalanx" at the end. We'd all know he's not going to forgive himself for all the bad stuff he did, and having him help the heroes makes practical sense, but I wouldn't have expected the writing to reflect that.

Pfft, ponytails are for wusses. Real women wear their hair loose and free. Only noobs need to see what they're beating up. (And if your hair's in your face nobody can tell that it's really your stunt double kicking their ass while you sneak out for a smoke break.) (Real men would wear their hair loose and free too I'm sure if they had that option in the costume creator. Let's have some real long hair styles for male characters while we're giving them fishnets. EQUALITY NOW!)

If you don't want me to run off on my own, turn up the difficulty to the point where it doesn't make more sense for me to do so. Besides, in my experience people rarely solo on teams anyway. There's always that one other person who feels the team is overkilling everything and follows the person going off on their own.

where are the prisons, or how do you make them?
Eva Destruction replied to Rose's topic in Base Construction
There is a thick cable in the editor that can be used to make prison bars. Floor grates tipped on end might also work, depending on the look you're going for. For a lock, there are bathroom stall locks, and some of the wall cables have boxes on the ends that are decent facsimile of a prison door lock. -
What's the most fun task/strike force?
Eva Destruction replied to PresidentDSG's topic in General Discussion
Ernesto Hess mostly because there's a giant robot. But also because there are some neat maps. It could use some minor updates; the trap in the first mission is not the threat it was when the TF first came out, and the radar station missions are a lot of running around, but it's the first TF I ever completed and it's still my favorite. Silver Mantis mostly because of the last map. But also you get a nice variety of enemy groups throughout. Mortimer Kal is a very close second but it's almost too quick. ITF, because it's fun to go back in time and murder hordes of Romans and Nazi aliens. I don't do speed runs. -
If you defeat X number of enemies from a faction, they start to see you as a threat and make a tactical retreat when they hear you're coming. No more running Council radios until your eyeballs bleed; after you've run a couple of them you'll walk into an empty warehouse. Once you enter a mission it won't reset for 24 hours, so you can't farm Battlemaiden either. AE obviously gives no rewards, although it's still there and can be used as a danger room, to test builds and tactics without any consequences. (Since I'm assuming the real game would have actual consequences for defeat.)

You only earn half debt inside missions. I'd assume the most efficient method is probably the Hive or the Abyss, since there are monster spawns fairly close to the hospital.

What do consider “Soloing AVs” to mean?
Eva Destruction replied to Yomo Kimyata's topic in General Discussion
I've seen a few people now saying they have problems with Nighstar, what's the issue there? Her damage isn't crazy high, and as far as resistances go she's nowhere near as bad as Dominatrix, did she get a buff when I wasn't looking? -

If you break line of sight as soon as he dies you don't get stunned. That's where strategy comes in. (Unless you rely on defense so you have to take out the autohit fluffy first and then find out that it's actually the fluffy's death that stuns, not Romy's rez, and another attempt to solo MoITF down the drain.) -
Right now it's Mighty Judgement. It makes a very satisfying thump.
