I expected this to be another Watchmen or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and that is about what it is.

It's got lots that goes for it but doesn't quite click, primarily due to pacing, both of the plot and of some individual scenes. The result is a great nerd movie that can be difficult to watch with a group of non-fans (well, Hitchhiker's wasn't great, but similar principle).

Scott Pilgrim is not a property I knew well before the movie, unlike those, but even without reading it I could tell the pacing trouble. The early parts of the movie are occasionally entertaining but slow. Then the first ex shows up and has an absolutely incredible scene that had even skeptical non-fans roaring. The movie was incredible for the first ex, great with the 2nd, good with the 3rd, awkward and annoying with the 4th, rushed with the 5th and 6th, and something of an overlong mixed bag with the 7th. Nega Scott was much more entertaining than the 7th ex IMO.

To read what some say about the movie being too driven by the fights, I suppose they are correct, because to me that was the whole movie, coming to it not having read the book. Overall I think this is a good and recommendable movie however, probably better than Watchmen and better than Hitchiker's as movies go, and makes me want to read the book.

IMO, executives are never who you want guiding. A skilled editor could have helped however.

Try using this while standing in the tuatha army fighting Lady Winter. It's fun!

Oh wow, these are great. I wanted more tech and more glow, and these are both!

YES.

I wouldn't be so insistent if they just opened the ski chalet permanently though. It's the mean reason I want it extended.

Sometimes in a beta you can hear people claiming that certain things are as intended and they like to talk that way without specifying it as their opinion, or frame speculation as fact.

If you join it after those people and can't find any official statement to refute it, eww.

If you use just SOs or low priced IOs, MM is the easiest way to solo x8.

However, if you have the INF a Scrapper or Brute can do it faster. Dominators are next, and if you can handle the mez, Controllers, Blasters, and Corrs can definitely do it at least as fast.

Every other AT can enhance their offense and defense with bonuses, while MMs get little but defensive use of recharge, and set defense helps less too.

Ninjistu for its tech utility powers in addition to dodge is the best secondary IMO

I can believe the theory that there's some concern about openness if not some new restrictions.

That combined with the silly new rule will just discourage community, which is not what you do if you are a long running competitor to a high budget newbie.

Signed! Now make more of these with increasingly complex (though it's a hilarious statement of how bad the traditional MMO paradigm is that 'move' can be considered a complex gamelay mechanic) encounters!

NOT vet reward please.

Just give it to everybody.

The chest slider has been talked about a ton, so I think armor is the more important subject.

Please, more large armors.

Newer team is better at it as usual, but when people ask about shoulder animals and rabbit ears and get as a response 'we didn't expect them to be demanded,' that's at the least a sexist answer even if the real reason was limited resources.

Central core of why it is stupid:

1. Tourists get an advantage that is entirely about access, not economics.

2. Natives get an advantage that is entirely about economics, not access.

It's like giving people who don't take any travel power double rewards. You can't balance apples with oranges, especially if what you are balancing is supposed to be about concept.

If you want to buy anything, see how profitable it is, and buy 10 or 20 to craft and flip.

Ultimate technique for the lazy marketeer.

They're probably going to make Praetorian 30-50 zones with Primal access too.

If they improved the TF system so people could be invited during it, such complaints might be resolved.
