You can still play these, at least the main game. The online part is gone now that they shut down the servers, but it was never good.

When Ship of Heroes first appeared I thought for sure it was a take-the-money-and-run Kickstarter scam, and when said Kickstarter raised roughly $37 I thought they would vanish.

You go into a cave and defeat the 'Guardian', then Wade. (whose name is spelled 'Darrin'). One mission, very barebones but no errors.

This is pretty good. The player is transported back in time to pre-colonial America, where one Abigail McCollum asks the player to find her nephew Francis, who has been kidnapped by witches. The player is joined by a friendly witch and a warrior of the Narragansett tribe; there's quite a bit of historical detail, all accurate. After being rescued, Francis is now Fran, and Fran has a plan, which involves a Viking runestone. However, Fran's plan came to a halt when they sank up to their knees in a hill. After quitting and reloading, Fran's plan came together, and the Red Caps were driven away.

Last week I decided to get the Force of Nature badge for Purple Lovin'. I went Rogue and picked up the Peregrine Island mayhem mission from Lord Schweinzer, set to my usual challenge level of 0x8. The bank hero was Holo Man, but the mission didn't end after he was defeated. I know that sometimes the holograms he summons can count toward the required defeats, so I just logged off after a minute. On my next attempt, the hero was Manticore: again, the mission didn't end after he was defeated, even though I went back through the bank in search of stragglers. Then I ran the mission again: the hero was Holo Man again, and again the mission didn't end. To try to reproduce the bug, I switched to 0x1 and ran it again. The hero was Cacophony, and the mission ended properly after she was defeated. I went back to 0x8 and tried again... and it didn't end. Since then, I've run it about a dozen times, with several different characters. Without fail, the mission would complete after the hero defeat if set to 0x1, but not end if set to 0x8. https://imgur.com/a/AELBcFv

Missions are saved locally as a text file. Just open Notepad and copy/paste.

25 years ago there was a short-lived MMO called Neocron, where every player was a member of a faction. You could buy stock in your faction (and others), and do missions for your faction to increase it's stock value. Neocron was kind of a shambles but that part was pretty cool.

On the final mission of the Penelope Yin TF, the nav text says "4 computers to activate at the same time", when in fact they do not need to be activated at the same time.

Going forward, allow me to resurrect the suggestion that we convert all typed defense to positional, and all resists to typed.

As an alternative, you can use the Police Station map. There's a weird bug with that map which causes the mission to not complete until the player has taken the elevator to the jail section.

Victory is possible.

Yet another example of the horrible spaghetti code this game is built on.

You know what my personal pet peeve timesink is? The fact that we can't click on a monorail when the doors are open. You have to wait for them to close. This might seem trivial, since it takes three, four, maybe five seconds at most. But if you add up the thousands and thousands of monorail trips over the past twenty years, I could have written the Great American Novel in the time I spent waiting. Or used the AE to write Mynx's Furry Adventure.

Given that there are 834 players present at a typical Adamastor summoning, most likely the system couldn't find an empty spot nearby on the X or Y axis, so it tried the Z azis instead.

Do you happen to know exactly what iteration of Chatgpt you're using?

Would it be possible for the event queue display to show the names of the people who haven't joined?

If you use the Police Station map in AE, the mission will not end until the player takes the elevator to the jail area, even if there are no objectives in that area. To verify this, I created a quick AE mission, #66156. It has a defeat all enemies objective, but it will not end until you take the elevator, even though no mobs ever spawn there.

I'm not sure that render priority is the problem here. I was at an Adamastor summoning about a week ago where the same thing happened, and he didn't reappear even after most players left. I suspect that he spawned underneath the geometry because of crowding.

In hero radio missions, the hostage is missing the "I can see you once again" dialog text.

Or, for a more radical suggestion, how about chopping out all the intangibility powers and replacing them with powers that people actually use for reasons other than griefing? Black Hole, in particular, could create a small interdimensional cottage where your team can relax for a bit of tea before rejoining the fight.

Blaster > Atomic Manipulation > Metabolic Acceleration accepts endredux enhancements, but it costs no endurance. This screenshot isn't relevant.

Same deal. I was planning on a middle of the road review- some stuff I liked, some not- but judging from the author's response to the above review I'm not going to bother.
