Too late right there

Covering up my head....

I like my tanker just fine, but improvements are always welcome. Maybe this thread should be put into a time capsule and reopened when there is enough to start a decent rumor with.

Been reading the proposed blaster changes (snipes, increased 40' ranged powers to 80'). Sounds like blastery goodness to me.


And for the Doms, I bequeathe...



A boot to the head!

Please reference redname post that this was the intent.

I refuse to accept any player's claims to know what is intended by the Dev Team without supporting evidence.

Drink!

Wow, that didn't come off as rude or condescending at all. Well done!

The existence of PLing indicates that PLers are gonna PL. Unless the game has a system to limit the player to a certain amount of xp/time period (what ever happened to MARTy, anyway?) people who want to rush to 50 are going to do it.

While I would like to see an option to get SG/Mayhem missions that have been out-levelled, I think that players who are concerned about these badges/accolades should take it upon themselves to pay attention to their level progress or find a friend who is lower level to help them out.

Perhaps giving a *choice* of 2 zones with overlapping level ranges would be a solution (AP 5-15, KR 10-20, for example, giving an option of which to do at levels 10-15). This would help the PLer and the non-PLer alike by giving a larger range to get each badge and some player control... hang on, having a choice might even appeal to the RPers.

BTW, DfB and DiB, the two low-level trials you seem to be referring to, are not mandatory. If there is a problem that comes as a result of bring "spoon fed levels", the players do have the option to spit out the spoon.

Unless you favor Terry Pratchett's etymology, Wys + Ars... literally, "He who is wise at the bottom"

... and knowing is half the battle.

Going to disagree with this. Why should someone at Paragon have to interrupt their time off?

The hours of this weekly event are clearly posted. If the player can't make time to log in within the 24-hour window, the reward must not mean that much to them.

Just my opinion...

Drink.

I had to double-check my facts, but Vincent D was also "Edgar" in MiB, and the killer ("Carl Stargher") in "The Cell". A very versatile actor.

Also found out he was in "Strange Days", a movie I have not seen in far too long.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are both Blue-side missions. Rogues cannot be assigned them.

Both mission arcs are set over level 14, which, if I'm not mistaken, is when the Oro Portal can first be earned. Therefore, they are not overly difficult to access. I would call this a possible improvement, not a bug. As others have pointed out, these can spawn in other zones as well.

Exactly. If you see a stalker, they are doing it wrong

Tremble before the awesome that is his Leroy Jenkins Mastery.

Drink nao!

I shouldn't even dignify that with a response. Suffice it to say it was the answer I expected. I'll leave you with this thought, from the movie "Dogma":

"Do you know what makes a human being decent? Fear."

Cite your source.

Drink.

This. Just... this.

You've summed up my exact thoughts on a fix for these trials.

Both Spiderman and Hulk could also be explained as Mutation origin. Their genetics/dna/whatever were altered from the "human norm" during their origin story. Remember Rifts "Techno-Wizards"? They use powersuits, etc. powered my Magic. I could go on and on, but at the end of the day, there are no hard rules for origin selection. YMMV.

From a charagter standpoint: It's your character, your Origin is what you decide it is. As long as it makes sense to you, the rest of the megaverse can go hang if they don't like your choice.

From a pure game mechanics standpoint: Different origin means a different apprentice power and different names for the enhancements you can slot (they are functionally identical).

Personally, I think it would have been pretty funny. Of course, I also find the idea of Clown MM's funny because I think it's completely ridiculous... kind of like clowns themselves.

But you obviously take the Clown MM idea a lot more seriously than I do ::shrug:: These things happen. Maybe when/if pet customization becomes a reality, this will become a non-issue.

"Hey, Kettle, this is Pot. You're black!"

A little less attitude in your own post would be just fine. Zwill's post could be read as dismissive, but I don't think that was his intent. You are, IMO, putting words in his mouth.

Yes, typos suck. Yes, they are probably easily fixed. As someone upthread mentioned, hiring an English Major to act as proofreader is probably both reasonable and cost-effective. As a Ren-Faire comedian put it years ago:

Q: What's the best way to get an English Major's attention?
A: Yell, "Hey, Waiter!"

From reading over the cast list, I think this is going to be closer to Ah-nuld than P.K. Dick. Not a whole lot of action in the short story, it's pretty much peeling the layers of Quaid's memory implants... although the final layer of that onion is pretty spiffy.

Still, after the "Fright Night" remake, I've got a higher opinion of Colin Farrel, so I'll definitely give this one a chance.
