| Question related to Issue 7 |
|
|
|
I keep seeing screenshots of Statesman and Lord Recluse dueling, I wonder if this is gonna be like some special event/ultimate cutscene in Grandville or something. Perhaps it will be just something to help excite us about the update. Anyone have any knowledge of it or any ideas?

They've always had shots of Recluse and Statsman fighting...not sure if this has anything to do with I7. I hope this will be one of the high level content missions/SFs/Respecs or something...

Yep, Villians still need a Hami-esque event to attend for goodies (min level should still be 45).

That is a good point. Plus they are crazy powerful. Is there any other in COV that deals out that kind of Damage?
If it is more COT I think I will just start a new toon so I can at least enjoy some hellions again….LOL.

I'd love to see a portal mission with the hellions being all uber-powerful...
As for the Hami-thing, there's supposedly a Lord Recluse task force that's going to result in HO enhancements as rewards. I'm assuming it's not going to be easy.

That is a good Idea. You never really se anything else but the petty thugs of the Hellions. It would be cool to have them as some all consuming street gang with similar powers sets to ours. Sort of like the Family has.
A Task Force to the Rikiti Home world would rock as well.

I'd be all over that one! Take down Statesman or even Lord Recluse for that matter. Just as long as it's fun and eventful.

You know what might be a cool Idea is have the Statesman as a “monster” spawn. Have him come into, St. Martial or the new map with issue 7 with a bunch of Longbow. That would be pretty cool because you could get more then just 8 people going after him.

If you weren't there that is basically what happened on the last day of Beta the Devs actaully ran the signature heroes and invided.
They were like giant monsters and appeared in multiple zones. Most the events are multizoned so all can participate even in COH the Ralaruuu invasion (the are level 45 (or so) and up) were scaled to L12 for steel canyon (and i assume intro zones as well)

I think this kind of event should be held in it's own zone. Just like the Hive in CoH. Not really populated, with lower levels that would not stand a chance of helping (and not aggro'ing unnecessary attention). You know, that something special zone where you would actually have leveled up to get in. Kinda like a thank you for taking the time to play the game and for that...your reward.

not to mention in smaller areas fighting and the like and moving around would make less lag and less death than it would in say, perez park, st. marshial, w/e.

found this article CLICK ME
here is a quick insert..
The second High Level Zone, Recluse's Victory, appears to be a little more flexible because both heroes as well as villains can reach level 50, and you can also engage in some quality PVP. Basically, both heroes and villains will battle one another for control points/pill boxes that Cryptic has scattered about the map, and depending how things play out this particular zone will change in real time. The goal is to capture six of seven pillboxes to win. Your map displays the hero base and the pill box locations so you always know where the battles are taking place. There are also these giant bad ass looking robots called Heavies. They're incredibly powerful and you'll definitely need them to win providing your character isn't high level, and even if it is you may still have a tough time getting past other players as well as the humongous gun turrets placed about the map. But with a Heavy on your side, you can make short work of them. Conversely, you can capture these turrets (which is great for new players who aren't very powerful) or the other team's Heavies, but the primary goal is to take those pill boxes. If you click a pillbox's "button" you'll create a waypoint, and over the course the fight the world will change in real time, so the abandoned city hall can be transformed into Arachnid City Hall, and the huge statue of Atlas in the center of town will morph into a statue of Lord Recluse. That's all well and good, but actually capturing six pill boxes isn't going to be easy. When you take four of them the signature heroes arrive to crash the party, and it can take up to 18 players to bring them down!
that last sentence.. Signature Heroes.. and at least 18 players.... I can't wait...

Okay TFs. I know Cathedral of Pain SHOULD be coming soon, any info on any other new TFs out there?

as far as new PvP not real jazzed, prefer standard hero v villain stuff. Fav Zone is bloody bay like the setup, but jsut too low.

Yeah, I wish they would release some more TF info. I'm sure it's not going to take people very long to climb those last 10 levels and then what? I know the new mission content is going to be good and all, however, I'm still looking to hear about a Hami-type raid (min lvl 45, which should not take the majority long to hit) and some high level TFs/Respec.
Villians are going to need a zone that no one enters except to do the ultimate battle, then leave (Hive).

Well.. It says that in Recluses Victory, When four pillboxes are taken, the Signature Heroes turn up. Well, if the villains captured four pillboxes, then some Heroes would arrive, right? Possibly the Statesman. Then what if the heroes got the Villains back with reinforcements, and captured their fourth pillbox, then some Villains would turn up. Possibly Lord Recluse.
I think that it's highly unlikely that the Statesman would run into Lord Recluse, but it's possible.

Not exactly...not anymore anyway. I am building a list (or should start building one) Hobsnob, Xolquar, you, me...I should really start up an sg...:-p just kidding, since we could only be on it for 1 year anyway. But no, I'm glad to see that GameAmp is starting to attract mature teenagers (or how mature are we...:-p just kidding). I lack some friends out in lonely VA Beach, so it's good to meet some online.

Anyway! Back to the correct Topic. What do you think of my theory about the Statesman and Lord Recluse Meeting?

It seems unlikely that Statesman and Recluse will meet in the Recluse's Victory map. Since it takes one side capturing 4 or more points on the map, before signature heros/villians show up. Don't get me wrong, if there is some battle going on like the one in COH on the Croatoa map between Jack in Irons and Eochai, I'll be one of the first to try and get those badges. (*wink**wink* *nudge**nudge*)

It says that four pillboxes need to be captured.. as far as I'm aware there are seven pillboxes. (tell me if I'm wrong) and that means that if four were captured, then the opposing team would only need one more pillbox to bring in the muscle

While this is true, remember that I said unlikely. Which if it worked it would still make a badass clash like the one in Croatoa. I'd love to see the battle and I'm sure that everyone else will be trying to get this to go off.
The signature heroes that show up will probably be Positron, Manticore, Numina, etc. The villians in all likely-hood will be Black Scorpion, Ghost Widow etc.

I think it was just a cool picture to show issue 7 and to get people reading the info and get the mall excited.
P.S. i am 14 to :)

I'm pretty sure that it is just a picture to get everyone excited, but I also think that if both could appear, as Roganzar said, everyone would try and make it happen.
