True INDIVIDUAL cops perhaps, last I checked Punisher never mowed down an entire god damn precinct before. No one is saying Law Enforcement are perfect angels, to think that is utter nonsense, but its clear to me that getting rid of an entire districts worth of cops over a GF analogue situation is VERY much motivated by personal politics and feels like someone shoving their agenda in our faces.

The way they went about the instigating issue is a DIRECT parallel to the incident with George Floyd, which as I am sure you remember was an incredibly heated, violent and controversial period of instability. By doing this it is injecting politics into the game which I am very much NOT a fan of, this is Paragon City, the city of tomorrow, we should be BETTER. There are SEVERAL other ways to bring up change in the zone instead of injecting personal bias into a game we play to escape such things and feels self defeating. Also there is no rogue PPD in the isles, the Isles are OUTSIDE of the US and Paragon City is in Rhode Island, you are referring to the RIPD. As for the Talos arc that was instigated by a villain group goading disgruntled officers who were only doing it as a way to protest how the city's porter network was ONLY used for Heroes and not for cops, firefighters, EMT's and civilians. If I recall right they did not intend for things to unfold as they did and things only went out of control when the villain group secretly supplying them made their move.

Don't know if this has been suggested/discussed already so please forgive me if it has. I have been leveling some praetorian toons recently, even did one where I went through as many arcs as possible before I had to leave, and I couldn't help but notice that there could be a few powersets added to the game using the Resistance and PPD enemy groups as a base. The visual and sound effects I found to be very cool and interesting and was wondering if it would be possible to create new powersets with them. For example the cool little shield that lights up on the Praetorian police when you hit them/get hit by them, and the unique projectiles of the Resistance rifles and pistols. Now I am now developer/game designer, and I fully understand if its just not possible at this time due to limits of the abilities or the inability to move them to player use. If that is the case then could some perhaps be bought as temp powers from the P2W vendor?

Virtue represent! Oddly didn't have many characters back in the day, my main though was Energycrush of The Justice Force.

Just bumping this since I feel that a lot of these are relevant and needed for people to fully enjoy the game and since I was discussing this very thing with my friends. Also please add the PPD pieces for hardsuits and the swat npc's, they look so damn cool and would work really well for RP.
