I STILL really miss knocking clockwork off of the rooftops in Steel Canyon. Also Drek map farming WAAAY back in the day.

What AV or bad guy group do you miss the most? Maybe the least?

Steel Canyon!  I was trying to think of the name of that zone. 

What was the zone where you could fly through the hole of a giant donut?

I think for me I would geek out most over two sets of villains:

a) The nondescript hoods in the Hollows, just because my dozens of characters spent so many countless hours there
b) The funky snow monsters in the winter event.  I spent plenty of hours learning to time my sliding attacks on those frozen lakes, and I loved the whole ambiance of that zone - the alpine setting, the ski slope, the kitschy but haunting music...

Miss the most: Rikti

I don't know why but there was something so satisfying about killing them and watching them crumple to the floor.  Bonus points if the last hit had KB so they went flying into a wall, limbs flailing in that hilarious way that only ragdoll physics can deliver.

Miss the least: Malta/Knives of Artemis

They definitely lived up to their role as an endgame enemy group.  They could debuff you into the ground, chain CC you to death, and put out serious damage.  That's not even including the damn Sappers.  Two hits from one of them and your blue bar was completely empty.  Just like that, you've got no offense OR defense and the red numbers just came rolling over you until you either popped an inspiration or faceplanted.

KoA wasn't nearly as dangerous but every. single. mob had caltrops.  Especially in tight office maps, if you couldn't fly you might as well just get used to running in slow motion every fight.  The damn things stuck around after the mob that set them up died too so just killing them wasn't enough to keep it from happening.

Special mention to The Council for being the most boring, homogeneous group in the game.  Most of them were literally just recolors of each other with an extra power or two tossed in.  I did enjoy the "chuffchuffchuff" sound their Gatling guns made though.  Really made fights with them feel like mass shootouts with bullets flying all over the place.

Yes! And I stress "No Council." Gimme Nazis to beat on! 5th Column had cooler uniforms too.

My first main, pre-Majadi, had a backstory attached to 5th Column. I was sort of relieved when Cryptic changed the Column, because he was getting way too oppressively dark for my own good.

No particular group, but I liked sniping the colorful totems in the SE corner of Talos, and at higher levels sniping the snipers in Founders' Falls.

I would take my plant troller  'Hot Pistil' back into Bricks and wipe out Council mobs! It was so much fun to see a Confused mob being crushed by creepers and lashed by my Flytrap  :)

My fav villains to fight were The Lost & Freakshow.  To the poster asking about flying through the donut hole:  It was call "Drenched Donuts" located in Faultline very close to where you zone in.

YES, thank you!

I was always highly amused that these super-powered characters generally had to take public transit trains to get where they were going.

Malta Group, specifically the robots. I loved it when they would form a Zeus unit. And I lived to fight the Kronos Titan. It just feel so super-heroey high stakes sci-fi coolness,

I loved fighting Crey, Devouring Earth, Carnies, Family, and Freakshow. I hate fighting against Nemesis,  Circle of Thorns and Malta Operatives.

I liked CoT. I used to love those Oranbega missions where if you died, they took your body to a prison. Majadi was an archaeologist, so they kinda fit into part of her story.

Any missions that involved caves were tops for me.

I remember when I learned I could knock CoT off of the rooftops in KR. They were definitely my favorite for a while back then.

One of my favorite TF's was the Crey one. I think that was the one in Brickstown.
