    You're going to sneak something in regarding the Dr. D invasion, aren't you?

    Thank God. Yesterday my new low-level toon went to speak to Burt Jackson and was assaulted by a group of lackeys armed with guns and also a huge Destroid. I could have handled one but both? No chance.

    Huh. I just worked out a system for dealing with both at the same time (fly up, turn off energy builder, use my main secondary power, block to gain energy, focus on one at a time), and now you're getting rid of them?

    So bad. Nighthawk's mission was one more thing to do in the game.
    A content which was not buggued (as whiteout and others).
    And the crime scenes helped to give more life to MC.

    @Cryptic: It would be good if you could work on content which last for 365 days/year instead of events which last for 1 or 2 weeks. Really.

    I do agree with you -- More permanent content is always welcome/needed. But, honestly, I kind of like the "event rotation" on some things. Adds a sense of urgency to get them completed. And as long as they are able to keep adding new events, and/or keep them rotating on a semi-regular basis, then there's always something "new" to do, while keeping the content fresh.

    Of course, the game does need a new Zone/Expansion, and if THAT kind of conent is being delayed because Cryptic can only do one (events) or the other (permanents), then they ARE hurting themselves there.

    Kind of a Catch 22, I suppose. But right now, I'm enjoying the events. :smile:

    Gotta agree with this. IMO CO is STARVED for good new content that ISN'T yet another 'Alert'. It's a shame that a lot of the new and better content (with VO) is limited and then removed.

    Seems like a real waste to get rid of it. Some of us barely got time to play it.

    This...

    I'm getting tired of grinding so much I get mentally sick from doing it to get whatever worthwhile rewards that randomly drop from whatever new grab bag is out that month and then never seen for months after it's initial appearance...

    I didn't even bother with Nighthawk, I did the mission like three times and just stopped playing altogether.

    Snark never dies.

    Yeah they could easily rotate all these special events. Bring back The Mountain Grab Bag grind!

    I'm glad it's gone but only 4 two reasons.


    1. Several patches and it still had the same bugs. I did over 70 of these on my 40s alone, but didn't see the true extent of how bad the scaling was till I ran it on a level 25 or 26. Normally I'd top or come close to topping the leaderboard, but on the lowbie, I was hardly making a scratch, which I only noticed because the rest of the team was all lower level and dying repeatedly. Considering this was one of the first missions offered getting out of the PH, either it needed a much higher level restriction or actually working scaling.

    Will miss seeing Nighthawk destroy my teammates before the elevator ride up.

    2. I got more than my fill. -- Note I'm sure plenty of others didn't, and liked having a nice questionite alternative, so there's no disrespect to them. To give you an idea, I have about 37 items of junk devices from that grab bag.

    Yes but its development took time from developing, i dont know, say the new zone weve been waiting 3 years for?

    Not to mention the jets all over the place in missions etc now. They should have just added vehicles as travel power skins.

    3 years? Did Vibora Bay not count or something? Don't like that either eh? :cool:

    And jets are just another Become Device, like all the other Become Devices. Why is that a problem? Heroes with planes isn't exactly a new concept.

    I knew youd mention vibora bay lol. No nothing against it but that came out 4 months after launch, so ok i rounded up a bit, its been 2 years 8 months weve been waiting for a new zone, that better? Either way its way overdue and they need to be concentrating on that not stupid events that makes us all generic jets instead of champions.

    Yes jets are another become device, but uinlike other devices it turns you into a vehicle which the others do not. (Yes i know youre in the vehicle but you cant do anything except be a jet)

    They should have had vehicles as travel power skins NOT becomes. I have nothing against heroes using vehicles, but like i said im here to play champions not jet fighters. Plus they arent just more becomes, they out class all other becomes AND have a built in travel power - totally stupid idea.

    This. Seriously, stop removing stuff. It's like you guys haven't figure out how to run an mmo yet.

    Or perhaps design stuff that isn't going to be phased out after spending time on. The stuff with the Anniversary Event is understandable of course, but outside of special events, why not make things permanent to give people variety of experience?

    I think part of the Nighthawk deal was it kinda took over MC which isn't something that is going to just remain persistent indefinitely. It was designed to be temporary...it would either need to be converted to be permanent and less obvious and pervasive somehow (like become JUST the queued part, or just can the 'ALL UNITS NIGHTHAWK HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN DEFENDER'S DEFENDER-O's(TM) CEREAL!!!' bits which get oooooold after a while), or be in a rotation like the 'special' Alerts.
