Me too.I wonder how it works on a team with other masterminds though. Will you able to walk through pets that aren’t yours? I actively avoided joining a team with other MMs because of the multitude of pets.

But I have to admit, I teamed with 2 other robotics MMs once and we blew through missions with the quickness. Good xp, but not as fun as it sounds, its difficult to control your pets with a gaggle of others that look just like them. I wish you could customize the pets a bit.

Yes. And at least some of the other non-MM pets, like Fire Imps.

I just did a newspaper mission that had a cave entrance. ☹

It really ruins the mood. I know that its probably low on the totem pole of things to fix in game but I wish they’d get around to it.

Could be worse. Back around the time I stopped playing, there was a bug where a low level mission in Perez Park would be populated with high level Malta Sappers and such. Really not much fun for your level 10 to get one shotted as soon as you zone in…

Had a new Issue come out ? That is an occasional bug when new Issues come out; overly high, out of context or even currently unimplemented enemies ( like Siren’s Ghosts ) will replace what’s supposed to be there. Fortunately, these days we can skip missions once every three days; it makes bugs like that easier to bypass.
