Know how that goes! Good luck Ryu!

Well, I've been RPing instead of any actual missioning outside of the SSA. Does that count?

Quote:Nuuuuu! I liked the 60's Batman, but I don't want to see the return to that. It'd just return comics to that.Originally Posted by Slazenger
Think my biggest problem with super hero related films is that I want them to be as close to their comic books as possible, and that isn't possible.
Taking the latest Batman movie and putting it out as a 4 issue mini series in comic books, I would have most probably brought the 1st issue and thought meh, I'll not bother with the rest.
I just don't think a comic book to film or vice versa work.
Now I believe comic books put into a 45min episode season long TV show's do work as people can over time relate to the heroes and villians. Smallville was a good start, but ultimately failed at the death as it really never progressed past CK's origin. If it would been allowed to progress and continue with him as Superman and continue along the lines of going up against proper villians, having cameos of top superheroes, put at later time past the watershed to spice things up a bit, it would have been a good watch.
Batman TV show worked because most of the time the social aspect of Bruce Wayne was kept to a minimal and identity kept secret, top villians often featured none of whom were ever killed off at the end of each episode, and all of that was done without high end CGI and overpaid actors.
I would rather they brought out more superhero TV shows like Batman of the past rather than feature films that can't portray comic books the right way due to budget, time frame or age ratings. -
An actual Telepathy and Telekinesis powerset, and not "covers it all psionic" powerset.

I have used a few of the Celestial Pieces and made their chrome look work with the costume. With this change I can still make it work and make it work with more concepts.
I'm for this!
Thanks for the fix/change! -
Don't underestimate SR! Especially on Stalkers.
Ninjitsu isn't better than SR. You face enemies who deal -Defense and you'll feel the difference between a NIN and a SR.
Personally I think NIN could use a raise in DDR, but then I think SR could use a raise in ability as well.
But there are reasons to pick SR as many have stated.
Not to mention, in i24 SR users can take Aid Self and lose the interrupt if they choose. -
Sounds like an incentive to stay premium or buy the way up the tiers to me.
Though really, I never saw KB as a problem, only chain knocked down, which I thought they were looking into so one couldnt be ping ponged everywhere. -
Quote:While I think sets like Sonic and FF need tweaking, as someone who's leveled both Ninjitsu and SR up to 50 and IOed them out, I really can't say I found Ninjitsu to be better than SR.Originally Posted by Megajoule
My first two characters were FF and SR. One trick ponies, pure Def in a world that has steadily chipped away at the effectiveness of same. Debuffs, buffs for other sets (including new sets that give most or all of the practical benefits plus other goodies, like Ninjitsu and Sonic), autohits that outright ignore the entire set, IOs and bonuses and builds that regularly hit the softcap...
It would be nice to matter again. -

Yep! Her skin's not like, super dark, but she's black. It's much more evident on Mother Mayhem.

--RESTRAINT. We definitely wanted Penelope to look sleek, womanly, and attractive but in an age-appropriate way. Hence the almost complete coverage of her bodysuit. Plenty of curves, but she definitely looks well equipped and ready for combat.
...
That part confuses me. What does he even mean by age appropriate?
Can't show more skin because she's...in her twenties?
There's great costumes that cover up all of many superheroes. Rogue's is simple and does just that. I usually think she has one of the best costumes around (usually is key here).
But 1) I've seen teens wear less 2) The idea that she's in her 20's means she can't show more skin if she wants because...it's not age appropriate?
That line of thinking sounds more like "We think some people are so pancaking easily offended by some costumes we didn't want to have her show much if any skin."
Again, no complaints about costume that cover up every bit of skin. I just hate that, that comment made it sound like that was the reasoning. -

No Rufus.
Just wouldn't be the same.
Doesn't mean it would be a bad movie. But, we would be missing him
And since it's not a reboot, I don't think they should replace him either.

Quote:Hmmm...seeing as how all my concepts are based around crime fighters who thusly train to be better fighters and have some sort of Hand to Hand experience...I'd say Fighting Pool is one of the EASIEST pools to fit into a concept.Originally Posted by Megajoule
My admittedly petulant urge is to just get rid of the pool altogether. Most of the people who take it do so solely to min/max, with no regard to character concept but solely to get those last few percentage points to make them uber, and I despise that playstyle.
The problem with the Fighting Pool is that the Tough/Weave percentages should of always been higher for the squishies and less for the melees.
Instead of going "Oh, this AT should have high modifiers in this area" the pool powers should go the better route of...
Fighting Pool "More benefit for the squishies as the melees are already tougher...so while they're peaking out, the squishies are building up from nothing so getting more out of it"
Leadership Pool should of always had the same stats across the board. Whether that means upping everyone to the best Leadership numbers, lowering them to the weakest Leadership numbers, or meeting somewhere in the middle.
No reason one AT should be a better "Leader" than another. -
Quote:Because Boxing and Kick would still be skipped?Originally Posted by DMystic
Skimming though this thread, is there a reason Weave couldn't be swapped into tier 1? In looking it up on City Of Data it isn't that much better than Manuevers, slightly lower end cost, slightly better defense boost which makes sense when considering a Self Toggle vs a Team toggle.

You've never bumped into GG in-game, have you? She can't move the chest slider any further to the right.
Wait a minute [Edit] I did say left
I have seen her in game, I don't recall her looking like the slider was maxed to the right though. -
Quote:I think I've heard more say they would want this change, and less that "made it work" for them.Originally Posted by Draeth Darkstar
Please do something to make this an option, not a forced costume change. This will ruin every costume I use Celestial on currently.
Changing parts out from under us instead of making them new options has a long history of being very unpopular with the playerbase. For every person that asked for this to change there was at least one that liked it the way it was (Hi!). -
Quote:Because remakes and sequals are more about brand recognition and continuing to make a profit on properties they own rights to.Originally Posted by Freitag
I like Keanu Reeves a lot, but all this sequel & remake business is getting a bit frustrating. I feel like there are many interesting stories out there that could be told, and it's unnecessary to just regurgitate the same stuff over and over :-).
That being said, sequels can be done well, it just seems that they frequently, well, aren't. It surprises me that actors want to do sequels. I guess it's better to want to do one than to be contractually obligated, but not want to do one.
~Freitag
I'd say a lot of sequals aren't done as well because they're usually made to bank of the first movies success, rather than be good. Though I think many are learning they can't get away with that easily.
Bourne series for instance, I'd say is about equal quality amongst all it's sequals. Mission Impossible (imo of course) has only gotten better with every sequal.
But then you get those sequals that arent being put out because of a great story, but because they think they can get some money out of it.
But I also wouldn't put all the blame on hollywood for it. Sometimes it is the directors/actors fault. The greatest script int he world can't be saved by directors who can't direct and actors who just aren't that good or just phone it in. -
Hmmm...a way to help Super Reflexes...
Step 1) Get rid of scaling resists
Step 2) Turn Practiced Brawler into a toggle and give it one unique resistance (placate, confuse, fear, -tohit resistance)
Step 3) Give Agile, Dodge and Lucky a 50% Regen component (enhanceable)
Step 4) Give Focused Fighting, Focused Senses and Evasion a 150% Regen component (enhanceable)
Step 5) Turn the God Mode, Elude, ability into Adrenaline Rush, a 120second Recharge, 25% Self Heal, 100% Regen for 60seconds, 20% EndRec for 30seconds, with a 15 Point End Crash after 60seconds ability!
Step 6) Increase Quickness to 25% +Recharge/Speed
^_^ The set would be love! -
The problem with Psionic Mastery instead of Telekinetic is it basically does what Mind Control does...
To be effective you're basically TKer and Telepathy.
Not all psi's are telepaths, not all psi's are TKers, and I thought it'd be nice to have a epic that slanted towards one side.
Telepathy Epic Pool wouldn't be bad and it would give a different feel to the character and likely different choices.
Dominate
Subdue
World of Confusion
Link Minds
Psychic Scream
Much more Telepathic in theme. -

Quote:It's the acting styles. They've changed a lot sense then.Originally Posted by Father Xmas
I've always considered that there is an intentional quality to make something camp, making a genre that's not normally a comedy into one. I'm annoyed that a lot of youths consider dramas from the 60s and 70s as, by default, camp, as oppose to the accepted style of the day. I'm talking shows like Dragnet, Emergency and Perry Mason.
Greatest American Hero was camp while The Incredible Hulk wasn't. GAH took the superhero TV genre and played it for laughs.
Nolan's Batman is definitely not played for laughs.
