Can't wait for the next Glee hiatus so I can get in on some of these "interesting" BAF runs!
-
I'd love to be down, but the timing doesn't work for me.

Quote:That's not the goal, at least according to the producers. They're already talking about splitting Storm of Swords into two seasons. GoT is one of the more self-contained (and shorter) books; it sounds like they will evaluate the others on a case by case basis.Originally Posted by Amy_Amp
The goal is a season for each book and there's 7 books in all when they are finally written. -
Gratz... those badges sound tough! Was the team heavy in buff/debuff?

You call lightning down from the sky and it chains across multiple targets, yet you call that not discernible? I notice it whenever someone uses it... but maybe things have been really busy when you fired it off? Ionic and Pyronic are both pretty spectacular with how they look.

Quote:I took Ionic Judgement as well, and I have to say I'm very underwhelmed by the power animation. The fire one looks like a raging inferno, while mine looks like a zap one guy... and then everyone around him takes damage for no discernible reason.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
(I'm looking forward to T4 Ionic myself... mmmmm, chain lightning...)

pfft. VooDoo errors are an old wives tale. There is no such thing.

1. I like the new Trials, but I am annoyed that if I want the new goodies I have to run them over and over and over again. The "alternate path" is prohibitively expensive.
2. The Trials seems fairly straightforward but what I don't like is the general lack of communication I'm seeing. Sometimes the leader doesn't give any explanation of what's going on beside "go here, do this". I guess the assumption is everyone has done this before, but I was experiencing this just a few days after I20 launched. I've seen some people just post a link to a map for the BAF, and barely say anything else. On the other hand, I have seen some people explain what exactly is going on.
3. Haven't seen this too much but I'd say five minutes. -

In for VooTrialTuesday until I drop needing sleep.
Need to unlock Destiny on my Blaster, and if we do BAF I need both of those slots.
Wednesday is Isos. -
Quote:Well, as you can tell, my main complaint is that it's the same ol', same ol', without the new AVs, fight mechanics, and maps of the new blueside TF. I don't think I would be as harsh if they didn't release it at the same time as an entertaining and fresh new TF.Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
I did ASK what is so bad about the SF. People really haven't been talking about it in any particulars, just saying they don't like it. I don't really have any issues with Infernal as an AV, even though he is in another SF. I guess I'd have to see how they bring him in.

Hey Major/Mental guess what FF are good again!

GP... it's a CoT SF... half of which is Oranbega... and who's the Big Bad? Infernal? Seriously?

I'm down for Tuesday Trials, Glee-permitting.

Quote:Badge, and it's new! Yes, I know it's lackluster, but it's something different from whatever arcs we'll be running tonight.Originally Posted by Prince_Tycho
Why would you want to?
-
Hamster always makes us run as usual despite all the cool stuff going on. However, since the new SF has a 20 to 40 range, maybe we can run that... eh? Eh?
-
The TF was hot, the SF was not.
Now we know for sure Devs hate Villains. -
IN!

Hbd, mp!

I find it amusing that the the OP is getting what they mentioned in the subject line, rather than dispensing it.

I've never understood why people don't like or won't accept sad endings. I love a good sad ending (when done right). Besides, technically there is a happy ending to this movie.
I love a good sad ending (and I agree that SuckerPunch has a happy ending). I also love main characters that make it very hard for you to sympathize with (another reason I loved D9). -

Don't have to be reasoned with when we're right. It was derivative, pointless garbage.

Quote:Also, I like the juxtaposition of silly elephant aliens dropping dinosaur-killers or our head.Originally Posted by Ironik
Yeah, they'd have to be altered to avoid the silliness, although wasn't the point of them being kind of silly was that they were actually the pets of an extinct alien race? And the reason they were invading was because their dead masters had wrecked their planet's ecosystem? That right there makes it ten times better than most other alien invasion motivations.
I'd say keep it as written.

Quote:Footfall would make a good movie. I'd like to see a War Against the Chtorr TV series, too (once it's finished).Originally Posted by Ironik
What's weird is that there are so many truly cool alien invasion novels in the science fiction pantheon. Why can't anyone just throw twenty grand at one of those authors for the rights and adapt one of those? We really don't have to keep remaking War of the Worlds and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, we can try one of the others.

That is basically the tldr version of why I really liked D9. I'm going to rewatch and post a detailed explanation of why it works for me at some point.
