Chyll

I would argue it is cyclical - was dead at the time until Star Wars first hit and revitalized Star Trek et al... And I'd say that at present in film superheroes seem to be leading the pack in terms of the 'sci-fi-ish' film work.

But, I don't have to. Looking at recent history, did you forget Avatar - one of the biggest films of all time? 'Cowboys and Aliens' coming. 'Invasion: LA' (or whatever its called) coming. 'V' running on TV now... new BSG in development...

dead? not hardly

And moving to different mediums - some excellent sci-fi novels out at present.

ah, vanguard... yeah, I saw v-merits and thought Villain Merits.

thought maybe he meant one of the others and mis-typed. And my caffeine had clearly not kicked in. My post (in my head) read:

I guess I've just never called vanguard merits v-merits.

To more directly address the OP: I haven't run a lot of Borea or other content recently, but my elec/ tank likes rikti... I didn't notice any oddities in drops the last time he took a spin. I'll try to take him out and check.

but it's not... maybe a few select items, but overall? beyond a few skewed commons, nope, I'm not buying it.

Yep, and if a couple of you are incarnate level shifted... not even that much longer.

Maybe some hyperbole because I was reading more snark than your response here implies was true. My apologies if I was wrong in my interpretation.

(for the record: I am also underwhelmed by the initial implementation, but put on my patience belt. round two better show improvement. )

Because the first baby step in what may be a rolling implementation clearly spells 'DOOM'

Right, I got that...

but 5 heads, feet, couple tails,... 60 still sounds like a lot in a single pack (do we know the totals from previous packs?). a lot and cool

or more people playing their 50s generating more purple drops...

Would be nice. I suspect this will get filled in slowly over time.

Been asked for forever. I'd predict, no way.

This I'd put in the 99.9999% chance category.

Not without a lot of work to adjust some drop rates - this would drive prices sky high if a bunch of new sets showed up to water down what can drop. (And while we are at it, a new mix of set bonuses on them would be nice.)

I'm all for proliferation. However, at a guess, with everything else coming down the pike for 50s, I'd say anything for new characters is likely to get lower priority in the near.

That would be a significant undertaking, and unlikely with all the apparent incarnate content queued up. That said, it is a zone that needs a serious rework - not least because of the return of the 5th...

Would be nice, but again, with all the apparent incarnate content queued up not likely high on the priority list. It would be nice to be surprised, though.

see the striga comments above... would be great to get more praetoria/faultline style zone content, but I'm not holding my breath.


EDIT: and my list? not drastically different than anything posted here

And I try to make the supplement to that: "The Dark Servants must go first."

The to-hit debuff they put out is nasty, and if the spawn has more than one Master.... ick. You squeeze whiff-whiff-whiff into your attack chain pretty fast.

shrug. so I never looked at them from that angle.

The ones in the picture were... big splayed toes as I recall.

Ah,.... just surprised me for some odd reason.
