I've been seeing some questions pop up about how the Nighthawk event and vehicles work, so here are some quick answers:
-Champions Online is fine. We are not City of Heroes. While we may be competitors, we feel for the people at Paragon -- but no, Champions is not shutting down, Champions is just fine. Champions does not equal City of Heroes.
-The Hawkwing jets are usable by all characters, it's not restricted to Night Avenger ATs. That being said, owning a Hawkwing and calling in a Strafing Run? Awesome, but not necessary.
-There are two good ways to find the spot to get evidence. These locations will rotate ~every 10 minutes, because Nighthawk (?) is committing super-crimes throughout the city. 1) Open your map, look through Millennium City for a red circle -- that's where you can go. 2) Wait for a yellow chat in the chat window about "All units, Nighthawk is at X!"
-When you get to these locations, take down the criminals in that area -- in particular, try to apprehend Nighthawk for questioning. They'll drop the evidence you need.
-You can also get evidence by investigating crime scenes throughout Millennium City. Find areas taped off with police tape.
Don't get me wrong here,the fight was great against stone,but there are a few things that are either a bit disappointing, unexpected,and make it hard to play that I want to point out.
1:stones jet heals a bit much
2:we can go out and fight his jet with our powers...thankfully,some of us can dish out a bit more than the attack jet can.
3:Stone calls Nighthawk "Nighthawk? with a question-mark,not sure if it was intentional
4:We can have the jet stuck on us after we leave it without finishing it,which is great since it doesn't give us the jet unfortunately
5:We don't get to keep the jets,and let's face it...1500 Zen,that's just not worth it.I mean the things aren't even customizable,we can do a better job in our roles without them,superspeed users have about the same mobility at ground level at R3,combined with teleporting's slow fall,they can go vertical too at high speeds.It would have just been better to either sell them at 300-500 Zen or just give them to us in the mission and sell costume packs later on.
Because he has healers which you need to take out, the fight is more than just go on in and take down
Oh gotcha. Just graphics settings on my comp are really low and most things don't render unless I'm super duper close to them. Then that makes perfect sense! Lol.

He was asking Nighthawk a rhetorical question.
And 1500 Zen is a bit much for become devices that bind to your account. But I'm guessing that its going to be a form of bind that will apply to the soon to come vehicles and custom gear for it. Which I would certainly approve!
Yeah, I like the jet thing, but I pretty much gave up on using em last night. My *squishy* could tank better than the tank jet. That thing's awful. I just wish Stone's hp were cut just a touch. The mission feels a bit bottlenecked right now because you almost have to use the jets. I didn't create a jet boot using damage machine just to jump in someone else's ride and fly around. It's actually a bummer that our first aerial boss requires a gimmick.
In game, I am @EvilTaco. Happily killing purple gang members since May 2008.
Well, a nicely decked out DPSer should be able to out DPS any of the jets. The only issue is getting to where it's going (to knock out the healer), or trying to hit it when it's moving.

I noticed a bit of this to a degree too,my PA FF could take in moe damage than the tank jet could,and also have a bit of damage on par with the DPS jet,the only downside is the speed of jet boots vs the speed of jets,if only we could exit those mission jets mid-battle to fight Stone,then get back in them to chase him,and I mean the mission jets,not the actual become jets.

But Also, What happened to the cape glide TP turtle?
This is something I too would like to know!
Ditto'd. We still getting it, or did it get pushed back in favor of something else?
Hawk Facts:
-'Boomerang outperforms Sniper Rifle'.
-'Amount of Stealth used equals amount of bruising spleen gets when punched to'.
And so on....
And playing by myself since Aug 2009

Awesome, thanks for the reassurance! Can't wait to see how you guys chose to implement it, neither can at least 2 of my toons.
Soon is becoming a word i'm starting to loathe here lol
Wait...powers?
Well I suppose that's something, just hope "soon" isn't months away soon.:rolleyes:
Typo, I hope...

EDIT:number 3 on the list was no mistake,sorry.

I was just going to ask about that.
So then, is that it, then. Sometimes you just have to repeat a leg of the mission? If so...
...back to the game. :redface:

This kills it for me on my controller.
