Let's also not forget that Hollywood now thinks movies can make more money if there is less competition in the theaters. At least one movie had it's release date pushed back this year because of the Avengers popularity.

I recall Bats also fought the Xeno's



Yes that's xeno from the Joker



And Green Lantern




Judge Dredd ...



WildCats...



Witchblade ...



The Terminator ...



Even the Buffy comic, sort of.




Of course the first crossover I remember was X-Men vs the Brood.

I only intended to point out that the obnoxious behavior isn't limited to the faction trying to flaunt their PvP epeens. There's also a small but vocal group of PvEer's that are just as obnoxious.

Oh yes I can, and I feel no shame or regret doing it. There is nothing in those zones that a PvE player absolutely must have in order to play the game. If there was something they needed that made the game unplayable without, it would be a different story.

Sorry didn't mean to disavow it, poor choice of words on my part.

Oh sure there are some risks to you, but we are willing to watch you take those risks.

Nothing is going to be done. Base raiding has been scrapped ever since the pathing restrictions that allowed it to work were disabled and players have gleefully designed bases that prevent base raiding from ever functioning in their bases if it was ever reactivated. That was back in I13 wasn't it?

Let's not forget the flipside of that group. You know the morons that enter PvP zones and then have the unmitigated gall to get upset and cuss, moan, complain, and make threats about how they are supposed to be left alone because they aren't there to PvP. They only came for the badges, temp powers, whatever.

Not really. I'm saying none of us knows enough about that universe to be able to say which came first. There are too many unknowns about the origins of all the involved races/species.

The only "good" is purely subjective. People that value badges wouldn't "lose" the character only badges (like the anniversary event badges) they unlocked.

That's it. There is no other good that comes with it.

It's far more inexpensive to simply create a new alt by buying (if you have to) another character slot, than it is to buy all the stuff you'd need to strip a character before changing power sets.

For example I have 103 slots (includes the vet reward sprints) on a regular level 50 that hasn't run any incarnate content. For a person that hasn't purchased any extra enhancement trays, that's 9 respecs ($90 bucks) plus whatever god awful expensive price on the Power Set Respec they'd have to buy just to strip all the enhancements off of 1 build.

That's 19 respecs + the power set respec for people using two builds and 29 respecs + the power set respec for people using 3 builds.

Even if they buy all the extra enhancement trays they'd still be burning 3 regular respecs + the power set respec for the first build and an additional 4 respecs for each of the additional builds.

Then we have to consider that power sets don't use the same enhancements. A lot of the stuff you use on an Storm Summoning Mind Controller isn't going to be usable on Empathy Earth Controller. Anyone making use of store bought IO's pretty much has to throw those enhancements away if they dont have another character to use them on.

So spend all that money every time you want to change a power set, or $6 bucks to unlock an extra character slot ($20 for 5).


But if there are people that have that much money laying around burning a hole in their pockets, they can put it all on a VISA gift card and mail it to me.

Quick this man needs more character concepts STAT!

Doesn't matter if it was an accident or deliberate, and we have no reason to believe the Predator race didn't have some sort of contact with the Engineers, either by direct association or by accidental discovery.

It is not hard to believe that one party would claim to be the inventor/creator of something another party discovered/created. After all isn't that what Weylund's been doing all along? Stealing alien secrets and developing them as their own inventions.

Pffft. Learning the Market and using alignment merits. If I'm desperate for Prestige I'll just buy a few Super Packs, sell the ATO's I get at 1 inf a piece, and convert the hundreds of millions I get from that to Prestige.

Yeah cuz no one ever has taken advantage of someone elses discovery, creation, whatever you want to call it and used it for their own purposes.

<rolls yes>

Thanks. I like to keep posts like that handy for future threads.

Oh good then one or both of you can provide a link to that thread, cuz I don't recall reading that post, and I would like to be able to subscribe to the thread and save a link to it for future reference.

Thanks

I believe it was in a Ustream in 2011, and what was said was that it could technically be done, but it would take an extreme amount of time and resources to accomplish. It would also be incredibly expensive if it was sold on the market.

But ultimately it wasn't on the development table because it undermines all the work they put into making the game alt friendly over the past 8 years.

Ya gotta love the forums Hyper. A dev posts he had bacon and eggs for breakfast and someone interprets it to mean the devs are creating an open world PvP feature, adding power set respecs, customizable vehicles, and level bumps up to 50. The rumors spread and the end result is nowhere close to the original dev post.

That's all that was said by the devs on the topic of base transfers.

Bwahahahahaha!

I don't think so.



It's far more likely they'd remove PvP altogether before they'd allow open world PvP in this game. The devs know which faction of the player base (the PvEers) pays the bills. The best you could hope for is that they would leave the PvP zones as is.

I thought you were beaten with wet noodles.

Not against the open world thing but Bill nailed all my issues with the idea.

I I I think yo yo yo yo you're right.
