You need to look in a mirror.

I also hope they add more incarnate content. It really was odd that they added contacts in the 20 range.

With a LOT of emphasis on vigilante/rogue stuff. I'm thinking adding new stuff at 20+ actually makes sense, considering the pace of levelling these days. You can fly right through the early levels without touching any of the story contacts and end up at 20 in a heartbeat, making this the de facto starting point for segueing into story-oriented stuff. Which is why I doubt we'll ever see any work done on stuff below that, since you can Habashy-Costel/Fields-Thiery yourself right out of Atlas Park in a heartbeart. Even some of the very excellent lower level stuff (like Laura Lockhart) bleeds into the 20s, so there's no incentive to hit the truly lowbie stuff, unless you're learning the game, or are a completionist. Or you like meandering through contacts, then tracing your character's history through the experience (which I do, with some characters). This is why, though I'd LOVE some new work done in AP/KR/STEEL, etc. the fact is they're being mostly skipped anyway, for various reasons. It's not a good use of HC's resources at present. (imho) . That said, I would love new blueside content.

Honestly, I agree. The early levels could use some new stuff as well. I just felt the 20 range was an area where you have lots to do. A lot of the TFs and SFs in this range are solid and I enjoy playing them over and over (except Citahell - one of the worst in the game IMO).

 

I think the Live Devs really screwed up with Going Rogue. That was an epic mess. Sure, it has some cool stuff but talk about out of touch. Anyway, here's to hoping!

Like all of '24, A.I. will bust onto the scene, and we'll have an A.I. Oklahoman running endgame events 24/7 on all servers.

Wishlist:  Revamp Poison, revamp Kinetic Melee, release Gadgetry, proliferate Super Strength with revamp, proliferate Regeneration with revamp, proliferate Ninjitsu, proliferate Energy Aura, buff Spirit Tree/Triage Beacon, take a look at Archery, would be wonderful to see a new Mastermind primary, etc.

Finally! We'll get Cowpower from the Pocket D Winter Chalet! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I was hoping I could finally make my Cow Dual Pistols/Whatever blaster based on the song "Cows with Guns", I'd even name him Cow Tse Tung.

And if they ever worked out Vehicles, we could further add Chickens with Choppers!

Carp Melee and Carp Armor

Funny enough, I had this is in a TTRPG game - we were playing MtA and one of the characters was an Akashic whose insanity made him believe his phenomenal combat skills were a result of his "Carp Style Kung Fu" with his flying double-leg "Tail-Slap" kick and "Fin Slap" hand strikes - not even the most insane part of the game as a Malkavian decapitated an elder with a meat carving knife and my Gurahl WereBear threw half a building at a fleeing target when he WAY explodingdiced his roll to rip off the fire escape from the building to throw.
