It's also tiny and hilly and mostly a freeway, except for some tall buildings around the side. It's kind of like Downtown's speed bump (especially now :p).

Pillsen gets no respect.

Yeah, Downtown is pretty boned right now. Except on Syntax, where Dracomet stuffed all the lag into Pillsen.

The current Find Weakness has a bug where has to make a successful roll to hit yourself (8o) before it will actually work. This was legacy code from CR1. Dracomet has already fixed this for update 50. The ability scales based on your chara...

ZippyTheSquirrel wrote: Buenas noches, la Rarebita. What's the lowest elevation point in the city? I dunno. Maybe the lowest floor of Hel Club? That would be appropriate. But I don't actually know for sure.

Meh, my favorite theory right now is that it's lost mission NPCs trying to path to the world origin. Unlike Slums and International, in Downtown, the world origin point is inaccessible.
