The goal of this monster was to take upwards to 200 players to bring it down. So if you and your supergroup can't take it down by yourselves, then it's doing its...

The main thing we want to avoid is make it too difficult to find teammates. The way it is now, teammates 2 levels below may face a disadvantage. I...

From Geko: Burn is a problem. One Burn patch in on itself is not that big of a problem (although it can be), but you can drop 5 Burn patches on top of each other and the AI is not smart enough to avoid it. 5 stacked Burn Patches can lay heavy destruction. If a villain did this to you, you would not ...
