Hallowed

Until you've actually seen it, your opinion really doesn't count for anything, because you don't actually know what you're talking about.

You don't know if there actually are plot holes. You're just parroting what Spoony said. And, given that I've seen the movie twice now, I can safely say that much of what he says is factually wrong, incomplete, or, in some cases, just made up (which is the crux of my issues with his "review").

To anyone who's actually seen the movie, I'm perfectly willing to engage in a PM conversation (so as to keep spoilers out of this thread). I noticed a few minor plot holes, but nothing significant. That doesn't mean I might not have overlooked something.

Before you go off on a rant and accuse me of whining, let's discuss your comprehension of the word "not", shall we?

Also, while I find Yahtzee entertaining, Spoony, at least in this case, is completely not so. But hey, YMMV.

There's nothing wrong with that stance. The issue here is not that Durraken doesn't like the movie, it's that he's advancing flawed criticisms for a movie he hasn't even seen.

The plot for the movie isn't great. It's not particularly bad, but it's got similar flaws that you will find in most high-production, action blockbusters.

However, it does seem to stay solidly within its own logic. If you can accept the concept of humans being digitized into a living, breathing computer world, then you should not have problems with any of the other more far-fetched concepts the movie advances.

How very odd... given that I made an angel character in the first few months of this game... you know... before vet rewards, or wings of any kind existed.

Actually, I would love this. I think it's a perfect fit for "useful, but not overpowering".

I'm sorry to see you go Castle. You've always been one of my favorite Devs, and the game has been better for you being here.

Despite not agreeing with some of your decisions, I've always thought that your responses were completely fair. I know that I would probably not have shown some of the restraint that you've exhibited. More so than any other dev, you have been horribly treated by some groups/people here on the boards over the years.

Never had the opportunity to meet you, but I definitely wish I had.

Thank you for all (well... ok... most ) of your contributions to this game, and the forums. Know that you are one of the reasons I've never let my sub lapse since this game launched (which beats all other MMOs by a factor of 15 or so), and also one of the reasons I started to read the dev digest religiously & post more regularly here.

On an entirely selfish note, I wish the people leaving would stop being those that I enjoy interacting with (or just reading their posts) the most. Were it not for GF, NS and Avatea, I'd feel like "all the good ones are gone" (with no disrespect intended towards those remaining).

I wish you the best of luck in everything.

I would not at all be adverse to suddenly getting an in-game tell, or PM from a player I didn't know before. (hint, hint)

That eight there tells me everything I need to know about this person's review credentials.

If you go to see TRON: Legacy expecting dialogue worthy of Shakespeare or a plot worthy of Citizen Kane... well... frankly you deserve disapontment. On the other hand, if you go expecting great visuals, light-vehicle chases/battles and glowy combat, with a story that stays true unto itself and its legacy, you'll have a really good time.

Interesting take. I never join an SG that "spams" out invites (whether that means advertising in broadcast or blind invites).

Now granted, I've run my own SG/VG for years now, but even before that, I got to know people by PUGing with them first, then running chatting with some more of their SG mates.

Don't be so sure about that.

No real issues on Freedom (H), Guardian(H) or Infinity(V) entering bases. Load times seem like they might be a tad longer than normal, but that's about it.

My solution to this is to play in windowed mode. This allows you to switch to other programs during the logout process.

As of the NYC M&G, total staff was about 70 people, according to Ghost Falcon. That includes people like Black Pebble...

You and your "reason" and "facts".
How are we supposed to get a giant hysteria-fest going now?

Not much else to say, really.

Aren't you glad that you will have 3 more power slots now, so you can "waste" one on the attack?

Also, pool powers are intended to be inferior to comparable primary/secondary powers. [Not that there are not some noticeable exceptions]

Defensive pool powers are intended to either give minor def/resist to those that normally have none, or to stack on top of existing defenses.

Let me clarify/answer your questions:

• The incarnate slot/abilities are intended for incarnate/end-game use, but function at any time that you are running at lvl 50 (in other words, they will not work if exemped)
• Getting an ultra rare enhancement should not take anywhere near as long as "purpling out" a toon. I was simply saying it takes a casual player longer to purple out a toon, and it also takes a casual player longer to get incarnate abilities. It should take you roughly as long to get an incarnate ability (common/uncommon) as it does to get 1-3 dozen pieces of rare salvage. Rare and ultra-rare will take longer.

Overall, you tend to get more use out of a long-term recovery boost power, than a short-term "endurance heal", especially if we're talking about a (theoretical) single-target power. Just about the only situation in which a "end-heal" would be more useful than a rec boost is when dealing with end-sapping foes (like sappers). However, given that anyone can carry a blue or two for those situations, I don't think people would like that type of "end-heal" power as much as you think. Now if there were an auto-hit all teammates version...

I have high hopes.

I'd post some panels from Wolverine's own comic series (multiple series) that would completely invalidate your altered perception of "reality", if it was possible to do so from Marvel's digital subscription service. In his 1982 four-part series alone, he kills close to 2 dozen people, most of them Hand ninjas, but some are "named" characters. Now I only have 10 fingers on my hands... I'm not sure how many fingers you would be left with.

From wikipedia: "Wolverine was typical of the many tough anti-authority antiheroes that emerged in American popular culture after the Vietnam War;[3] his willingness to use deadly force and his brooding nature became standard characteristics for comic book anti-heroes by the end of the 1980s."

As to Rachel/Pheonix, I did not use her as the "only" example, but rather as the extreme example. He stabbed his own teammate through the heart. Now, could he guess/hope that she might survive it? Sure. But could he know for sure? Not a chance. He was willing to kill her to stop her, if necessary.

Again, this is not a point you want to try to build an argument on.

Interestingly, I too thought the City raveler bonus would be a game-changer for may of my characters, but it has not really worked out that way. Very few of my characters actually end up taking advantage of the ability, because a) There's almost always something "better" to pick at levels 6-12, b) with all the other things that make travel simpler (bases/base tp'ers, Pocket D, jetpacks etc) I usually don't take travle powers until later in the game and c) I like many of the pre-reqs to the travel powers.

This trend is mirrored by those in my SG with City Traveler unlocked. I think it's a case of "sounds better than it actually ends up being."

Like any capes or auras purchased with other packs, you can choose them at character creation. That alone almost makes it worthwhile to me.
