Topic: We owned Statesman, well, sort of

Well, after months of taking out ArchVillian after ArchVillian, we finally worked our way to the Final fight. We amassed in front of the portal, ready to take down the villian who has plagued Paragon City for years, Tyrant, the pretorian version of Statesman.

We went in, prepared for anything. Tyrant knew we were coming it seems, so he sent an escourt. We said hi, and then kicked their butts. But that was not all. Maria Jenkins wanted us to close off this dimension from our own, permanent like. We were to take out 4 dimensional warp creators, and she gave me the access codes to do it.



We knew that Tyrant would have a large lair, but we were not prepared for what we saw. The hero statues we have in paragon, Tyrant has in his lair, only we assumed that they were villians.


Lo and behold, we found Tyrant, who was quite menacing. His armour alone we very impressive. And he knew we were coming, and tried to get us to join his side. We would not listen, and he got pissed.



We had to get ready, and so did he.

And so the fight of our lives began. axes clashed against steel. Fire rained down, while bolts of lightning flew. Tyrant put up a good fight, and 2 of us fell as he used his superstrength and punched the defenders in the gut, knocking them out. Our sheer tenacity and zeal proved to much for Tyrant, and he fell, just like his LTs, the other pretorian leaders.



And for fun, and to add insult to defeat, we took a seat in his chair. Those 2 lovely ladies are my bodyguards

Yet another Archvillian stopped by the forces of the Altered Realities supergroup.

EDIT: Ha ha, well played, double post filter. Anyway, didn't this character used to be called the Reichsman? And if so, why did NCSoft deem it necessary to purge CoH of all Nazi-related nemeses?

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

For a final boss, that's pretty underwhelming.

I saw a mildly impressive Power Rangers-esque villain appearing to do some kind of hand jive with a bunch of lame-ass thugs.

I mean, Ragnaros is an end boss in WoW and he's fucking fifty feet tall and made out of pure fire.

Onyxia is a gigantic fucking dragon.

Blackwing's going to be another gigantic fucking dragon.

Haha that really is pathetic, especially considering the 10 foot demons and 50 foot killer robot tank mechs that populate that game.

Simple. They had to in order to be able to sell the game in Europe.

Europe has bad memories of Naziizm.

Yeah.... City of Heroes has issues with its villains.

Tyrant is fresh off the short bus.

Hamidon is a giant lump of protoplasm. I'm serious. It is a giant cell, with the nucleous being the Hamidon itself, with its mitochondria and electrolytes and lysosomes being its protectors. The encounter is in a public zone so everyone swarms it. And hitting it once is a guaranteed enhancement (equivalent of loot) which is massively more powerful than any other enhancements in game.

I hope they do better in City of Villains.

They're nerfing them so they don't give +50% anymore to two attributes, just the SO equivalent 33% to two. So they're still better, but only because they improve two facets of a power (Say, dam/acc or hold/end or whatever), rather then give an insane percentage boost.

Dr. Vahzilok is cool. He's the only archvillain in the game that I can think of who's not a generic human aside from the Clockwork King. The tragedy is that two of the coolest archvillains are also the 2 lowest level AVs in the game (unless you count the alternate dimension version of the Clockwork King).

Yea, Tyrant was a bit underwhelming. I mean, we had more trouble against Infernal, since we wanted some fun, we left the portal open. It get's interesting when 150+ Demons and an ArchVillian capable of killing a scrapper in one hit are attacking at the same time.

Though I did like fighting her. Her name is Dominatrix, and she has a whip.

He actually is a generic human, just in a meat-suit.

Just figured that I'd point out that Reichsman and Tyrant are not the same people. Reichsman was soundly thrashed when he tried to invade Paragon City, and he's in stasis at SERAPH, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, Reichsman is pretty much a mindless berserker with similar powers to Statesman; Tyrant is an alternate dimension version of Statesman.

Kinda like how Young Nasty Man is rival and arch nemesis to Wonderboy and has powers comparable to Wonderboy's.

What kind of powers, you ask? Well how about the power of flight, that do anything for ya?

Being able to fly in a super-powered world isn't exactly anything special. It's like the power to read. Sure they're both immensely useful, but neither is going to impress anyone.
