Kyksie

I was the one who played the first arc. It was pretty well written, although it's hard to tell what the contact was saying. Also, the arc didn't run with the concept of a hero who is also the spokesman for a gum company. She could, say, capture a bank robber and shout her catchphrase 'Hope the charges STICK this time!" Ominous Horizons starts out the same way, although Double Mint is wearing a different costume. The Circle is up to something, so we go into the Shadow Shard and talk to Dr. Huxley. who tells us that she has discovered a new variety of Kora Fruit which is orange. Upon seeing the fruit, Double Mint forgets all about the Circle and begins planning a new flavor of gum, Orange Kora Blast, and assigns the player to go around Paragon City putting up billboards for it. At least I assume that's what she does, because I couldn't get to the final missions. The third mission sends the player to the Nemesis Shadow Shard map and tasks them with destroying a sensor, but I couldn't find it anywhere, and gave up after 15 minutes of scouring the map. I found the cave and rescued a nameless mystic, but no glowie. Please, people, don't use any of the Shadow Shard maps in AE, they're all poorly designed and hard to navigate. Anyway, Ominous Horizons probably concludes with the player battling a hundred foot tall Incarnate powered Gum Golem in the middle of Steel Canyon while a fleet of Rikti dropships fly overhead and Ride of the Valkyries plays, so I'll give it five stars for having such a badass ending.

Also, really, why can't we have nude characters? Come on, we're all at least 40 years old by now.

Playing with my Titan/Electric on a tip mission, the 5th column troops would not get back up when knocked down. They just lay there doing nothing.

I've always felt that the Steel Canyon hospital is poorly placed. If a newbie wanders into Steel with a low level character and dies to street mobs, the run back is almost impossible.

Would love to help, can't see you on Discord.

Sorry not offhand. I think one was in a minion description? It's not a horrible arc, at least not compared to some trashfires I played on the live server. Just kinda blah.

Generic plot, sparse text, a weak custom group, some spelling errors, a defeat all on a big map. The only high point is a few touches of humor. This isn't a terrible arc but it really isn't great.

We have RMT people here???

I hopped on just now and "Naked" is OK in the character creator.

I ran though it just now, and it was pretty good. Lots of detail, and the use of multiple colors and typefaces works well. I did find it to be a bit disjointed... we weren't told who the mysterious force that stopped time is, or exactly why Malta was attacking. The only serious problem was on mission 2, where I couldn't find one of the glowies. After cleaning out the courtyard, I finally found if after flying up to the top of the tower. A lot of people will not think to look there.

The scaling on Mayhem Missions has always been a bit janky. Doing one with a large party is harder than doing it alone.

Pretty good. Only thing is that three Nucleolususes in Assault Bot seems like overkill, especially with 6-slotted Tactics.

I used to enjoy giving fun answers to questions in Help chat. Doofus: My mission is under the ground! How can I get there? Me: You need the 'shovel' temp power. You get it by farming Circle mages on the islands in northern Talos who are doing the 'dig' emote. Doofus: Where do I find Lost in King's Row? Me: I just killed them all sorry. Wait another 45 minutes for them to respawn. Doofus: When I click on Kara the Scorpion, it says "you cannot enter". Me: Try buying her dinner first.

Basically it means the mistells are a lot more fun. ;D

If you don't count deliberate bad builds like 6-slotted Brawl, the worst would probably be two end-guzzling powersets. Like, say, Titan Weapons is super awesome but it would be terrible paired with Dark Armor.

Let me deconstruct what you're saying. You saw two people staring at each other in a corner of Pocket D, immediately concluded that they were having ERP, read their bios and saw that one stated an age under 18, and am now embarking on a crusade to save us from this horrible, horrible scourge upon our community.

I remade Kyksie and her low effort costume, but went with Willpower instead of Reflex because why not.

OMG I remember you from Champion! Few people enjoyed Energy blasters that much!

I remember your avatar from the old forums.

So glad to be back!!
