I gather it's good for DC and Warner, but what actually is it?

The others did well, but they weren't huge money makers in the same way that Spider-Man or Iron Man were.

I also think that what makes The Avengers so appealing to comics fans is exactly what's going to drive mainstream audiences away. And while I was jazzed that Joss Whedon was selected to direct the film, I think he's exactly the wrong director for the film if they were looking to make the most money making film possible. It'll please fans, but not the general audience.

And on a personal level, the more I see of The Avengers, the less I want to see it. I'm still excited, but not nearly as much as I was initially. I think it will be good, but the dialogue is looking cornier and more hokey with each new clip. That, and I'm getting a Transformers feel from some of the action scenes, which is pretty terrible.

Still, I'm jazzed about seeing it, and only time will tell as to how good it is and how successful it is, but I won't be seeing it opening night.

Will someone fix the damage delay on Assassin's Staff?!?!

Almost every resist based tanker set can pretty much hard cap nearly every resist at this point at endgame. The +resist, even though it won't have as high mod as it does for tankers, will be most useful for scrappers, brutes, and stalkers, or defense based tankers (SR, Ice, etc).

I really can't tell by looking at a power or animation how much time was spent creating (or refining, or debugging) it. Nor can I tell which ones require new "tech" (is that shorthand for "software engineering?").

I understand, I think, the desire by players to quantify how a thing should cost, but really we're just making guesses, and usually pretty wild guesses at that.




I don't think it's just that the animations for the powers themselves are difficult, but I think interfacing a two-handed rig into all the other animations in game (walk, run, ninja run, fly, probably a bunch more). I think the main issue is there there is often a lot of behind the scenes work to get something out, which doesn't affect it directly but still has to be present. Otherwise it's just not going to work, or it'll be half-arsed in some way.

My 2 inf.

Nice concept, but unless the devs put out a calendar of "things to come" market wise, then it'll always be beyond annoying to those of limited means.

Or something). Don't listen to anyone who tells you crazy stuff like that. Seriously. Who WOULD want to play like that?

I play my stalker the same today as I did back then, except I dumped Placate because it became much more situational and I'd rather have Burn Out.

Basically the battle plan is go into the room, size up the mob. Most of the time it's pick the toughest in the group, AS them down and then scrap the rest (again, this is how I've been doing it since I6). Sometimes you don't want the toughest because you won't scrap them down right away (EBs, for example) so start with their second toughest, clear the minions, then take down the boss.

In the past, I'd also throw a placate to bring the next toughest guy out of the fight to give you some damage mitigation which doesn't seem to be as necessary anymore, so I dumped it.
