Infiltration is clearly very badly broken

I'm talking about the Concealment pool.

 

It seems to be quite effective against most enemies but there is a massive problem with it.

 

Civilian pedestrians wave at me as they walk by! 😱

I hate to admit it, but your post title got me. 🤦‍♂️ Trolling level: Expert.

 

If only civvies had that level of perception when rescued in a mission!

Well yeah. Civilians are the Grownups.

All of us, Heroes and Villains and everything in between, are just children in costumes playing pretend.

 

That's why pedestrians can ignore our powers.

This is why you Fireball civilians anytime you're on a Mayhem mission. One of your rare options to retaliate!

Don't forget, Praetorian civvies are even worse, they can fell an Incarnate hero with just one well aimed rock

It's a poorly-known fact that all the civilians in Paragon City are retired heroes -- that's why they're able to hold onto their purse forever, jump down from 100' high walkways without harm, and do other things that would normally be possible even for level 50 active heroes.

Maybe they are made of cardboard !?!  Lowest bidder, am I right?  (Just because it's a Nemesis Plot doesn't exclude it could be a Corporate Plot!  As well....)  😺
