Nemesis Personalities

Am I the only one sad to see that Cryptic's idea of a maniac has more in common with Foxbat than the Joker? I really wanted my character's nemesis to be someone that belongs in a straight jacket, but instead he's acts like he belongs in a kindergarten classroom.

I haven't seen the savage personality yet. It seems that the only dialogue that actually fits with the chosen personality is the Mastermind.

Everything about the nemesis system is disappointing. I love making my nemesis and seeing my costume creation as a bad guy- but that's it. Its so shallow that 90% of my characters never even get a nemesis- because once you have heirloom gear- whats the point? Unless you're RPing or doing NemCon runs (which last I heard was redundant now too) the nemesis is just an alternate costume you encounter every 6 hrs on the same 8 missions (regardless of personality) that have been the exact same since I joined (which was a long time ago- I'm coming up on my 1000 day as a Gold member & I've taken multiple 6mo-1yr hiatuses.)

There is so much content that literally can just be copied and pasted into the nemesis system.
-Escort Missions
-Some kind of vehicle oriented mission
-choice in your minions costumes
-Unlock Foxbat as your own nemesis
-Nemesis Duos (you know like Batman & robin but evil- double your danger)
-Have random nemesis(es) pop up in random content- if you bring them down in time get a bonus- if not, continue the mission.
-Increase/Decrease # of Minions spawned randomly in the world.
-Get your own Nemesis as an Action Figure
-Call in your enemy's minions as a favor (toggle device like call in the purple gang war device) because no one kills you but them!
-Nemesis Dailies

I haven't even had my morning coffee and I've come up with at least 3 good ideas there for the nemesis system that PWE wouldn't even have to develop with a full team. They could just take the existing stuff and slap the nemesis skins on it and call it good. At this point its been years since there has been ANY change in the Nemesis system.

So yes the personality types are lame. But so is like 90% of the system so thats no surprise.

All this copypasting and slapping stuff on to stuff sounds easy.
They should do so.
Shouldn't be too hard.

And you don't encounter your Nemesis every 6 hours. You encounter your Nemesis about 5-6 whole times in your traveles from lvls 25 to 40.

It's been few weeks since last change to Nemesis System, Minions are now visible.

Last official word about Nemesis System was, it's not getting updates.

God, I hope it's getting an update. Along with new content I think it would be nice if we got our nem much earlier. Like before leaving Westside.

Also he/she should show up in person a lot more often. I have several 40's who haven't seen their guy since the first mission.

The whole thing was such a neat idea I just can't figure out how it wasn't made more central to the game from the start. Half the story arcs should have had our nem behind them.

And to those who aren't aware, in Monster Island inside the volcano, theres a cave, Lava Temple. It's on the right from Andtridhal(?) entrance. You have a slim/good chance getting your Nemesis actually spawn inside the Lava Temple with his henchmen and attack you (it happens right after you enter inside, just walk further inside (at the end of the cave theres a boss with defeat Perk also)).
That is only place and time where this happens. And, you can make it happen multiple times.

My nemesis belongs in a straight jacket. But thats enough about Caliga :P

You know what Ive thought the same thing for years the personalities on offer are a bit meh. The nem system is long in need of a pass on its whole creation section.
