Making Villian side more attractive?

[erdos]

We have TF's and missions where we face clones of ourselves, would it be possible to make bosses in some groups clones of active players on the servers? 

 

You are in a mission or TF and in the groups are Villains pulled from the Red side servers. The same would be true on Red side they could face Heroes actively playing. I think overall this might make the Red side more attractive as people can see actual players from that side and face them.

A few things.

 

1) There is effectively a "no player tributes via NPC" policy in place (for HC-created content); this would extend to making enemies from PCs.

 

2) Players that don't want to go to red side will not go to red side. Some players cannot be drawn to red side (or gold side) by any incentive, some players only go reluctantly.

 

I don't want to be too critical of players that make that choice, but I'd prefer to not read the umpteenth version of "The buildings are ugly" and "But I have no agency!" reasons. I get it, some folks just want to stay blueside... it's a valid choice but it is one that prevents them from seeing a lot more of the game.

Redside is close to perfection.

 

Folks don't have to do anything. There are some contacts and stories we can choose to participate in. Some arguably better than what is offered elsewhere. Many we may choose to skip.

 

While the title of your post is.. lacking. I find the suggestion intriguing.

 

"would it be possible to make bosses in some groups clones of active players on the servers?"

"on Red side they could face Heroes actively playing."

 

This is what I believe made Brigg's comic con farms so popular.
