lol, forgot to state question!

i had thought that once you have unlocked Cairo then it will always be one of the cities in an AVH, but the one i just completed didn't include Cairo.

have i got it wrong?

Cairo is random! You will not get that city on every hunt, but you will get a max of 4 cities everytime! As to which cities, it's random too!

Hi All, Does the USS Sleuthetania appear in AVH's?

Feb-2-2012 03:35

In one word: No.

In other words: That would be AWESOME!

We talked about adding in the ship at the same time as we messed about with Cairo, deciding that there were a few complications that might not make it friendly to people's well err... sanity. Not the least of which would be Ben's :) Non-geographical clues as per Cairo make any City accessible to set up for Villain Hunts but the whole 'where is the ship' made it seem a bit messy. We did consider a 2nd tier 'harder' Villain Hunt encompassing 'all' locations where people could dig themselves into as big of a whole as they liked, but we ended up just sticking with Cairo as a compromise / test. We weren't really sure at the time if the non-geographical clues were going to be cool or not.

Of course an all encompassing uber-hunt sounds ok, and Ben was pretty happy with the concept in general, but you have to balance that off with 'reward' for effort and if for example the reward was even better gear, well then that starts to mess with how easy the game gets. So we'd probably need to come up with a different reward structure for any 'uber-hunt'. Also it would have to be an 'opt-in' deal. You wouldn't want to come across an 'uber-hunt' ugh 'UH' first up when you picked up your first Villain Hunt.

Annnnnd I think an UH would have to be somewhat more interesting than 'just' a 'longer' version of the VH.

Happy Sleuthing!

And don't forget you cant get off the ship for 3 days, so you could have captured and then just be sitting and waiting lol.

Unless they would have to change that as well...

yeah that's another place where it got messy :D
