I don't like seafood...this game has gone to the Europeans....or....something...

lulz....

Ah okay, I'm not familiar but will look him up!

*conspiracy theory*

Unless that dude is the "government"...like a shadow government ruled by 'fear' that "they" will come. And the squad of soldiers is the best of the best with him that he trusts.

Of course he leaves at least one or two peeps back on the 'real Earth' that he trusts as well as a precautionary measure.

Yeah maybe with only one eye seeing the Silence they can't control you...but if you see them with two eyes, then you do get controlled by them!

This is why you never see them controlling pirates!

Just curious but why do you think that?

Others have said this but I do agree with the above for the most part.

Back at my first job; my boss and I used to play AC2 (okay my boss didn't have much time to play an MMO and was a little "oh new shiny game" distraction syndrome...but...) and we talked about how you/we could do things differently.

One was the 'obvious', "the more you use x the better at it you are."

I like that; however, if I want to change from an archer, let's say, to a melee fighter...well now my gear (what I can hold/use) for melee is pathetic compared to my bow/ranged gear...so now I can't survive long enough to get xp for/in "melee" and get a better sword/dagger/etc...

Unless I wanted to go down to "low lvl/newbie" zones and then...well, that's no fun either.

I haven't read all the posts here but it will be interesting to see future MMOs and how they handle it.

Maybe have every mob be like an "event mob" in CoH...where they are always the same lvl as you are; no matter if you are lvl 20 or 50. That way, as someone mentioned before, no matter what, 2 stabs of a dagger (wrench) or 2 arrows/gun shots can kill a mob. But the higher you go/the more you use melee (or range) the better at it you get.


Edit:


I also think that future MMOs "need" to have wholesale respecs that can be done anywhere and anytime for free (or at least very, very cheaply).

Again, I'll talk about a certain FPS "MMO" that went out of business a few years ago...loved the game; there were levels like normal MMOs and with each level you got a certain amount of points to spend on skills/powers. I think there were 3 "classes" per each "AT"...if you were a ranged toon, you could be a "sniper", "engineer" or...uh...something else (forgot :P).

I liked being a sniper but if I wanted to be an engineer (pet/support class) then I'd have to start over (I think there was a way to respec toons but to be honest I don't remember).

Being able to respec 'on the fly' would be so nice in certain games....but...we'll see

I just watched some of the pilot on hulu.com (only up to the first commercial break; right after all are on Terra Nova and they bring their 3rd kid from the bag)...but I totally agree...

Why is the "Good guy" a "bad guy" (breaking the law/etc)? Meh...wasn't really interested from the previews that I saw (fake dinosaurs doesn't make me want to see it) so....won't be watching this one...

^^ This...


Needs more Street Justice!

Hmm, yeah I guess so; that makes sense...didn't think about that while watching.

I could see something like that happening...maybe the Cybermen created a life-like "Doctor" :P

*shrugs*

But something could have happened...it would make no sense for the Cybermen to just leave the Doctor there.


Edit:

The only thing I really didn't care for too much in this episode was Craig not knowing things...like the Cybermen/etc...

I mean, The Doctor did give him all of the Doctor's info the last time they met....is it a short term memory thing or ?

I agree completely that UG should be the last 'open to all' Incarnate trials...the later ones should have a "need to be Incarnate +2/+3 to do this". Like you said it is harder to get confuse protection.

The only thing you can do is stack up on BFs/Emerges/etc...

I will say one the UG trial I was on with my DA/DM tanker, I don't think we had a lot of support (buffs/debuffs) in the league. I know we had a Time Manip. person and 1 Emp. but...beyond that...no idea if we had any other debuffs/buffs.

It was mainly Blasters/melee types....which can be fine for most of the other trials but UG...yeah; I'd say might need some debuffs/buffs


I know that was one of the questions the devs were asking, "is this too difficult for regular lvl 50s with no incarnate powers?" before it was released to the live servers.

Most people thought it was fine but, to be honest, I don't remember if that was before or after the AoH actually got his powers (in beta he had 0 powers or...they just weren't working properly).



As others have said, if you're attacking the AoH from behind, you shouldn't get hit with his AoEs/cones...keeping the taunter alive may be tricky though.

It'd be interesting to see if a full balanced league of "Just been incarnatized" 50s could do the trial or not.

To be honest, I'd go for that.

Pfft; I'm one of those "don't care if it's ugly, as long as it's functional" people....so list all powers available to the toon...I don't care, I just want to change the color of Hasten/Super Speed (or turn off the effects from them)!
