This was quite the surprise this morning! Thank you for hosting this!

I totally called the Pocket D pack being one of the two they had planned to discuss this morning. The Imperial Dynasty caught me off guard though, that's a pack that I will definitely pick up.

I would like to get the last badge I need for TPN on Patriot America to earn the MoTPN so if you decide to start running this trial in the future I am so there, even if it means being assigned to the outside teams (rather dull for that trial).

As for UGT, I already have MoUGT on my badger, but am willing to help out for those who still need it. Plus I have plenty of 50s that could use the incarnate XP and components.

The way I had to do this back in the day (which I don't recall if it's changed or not) is set the mission map enemy group to 'empty' as well as set the bosses surrounding enemy group as 'empty'.

The downside to this is if you want the map to feel like it has regular spawns, you would have to populate it with generic boss spawns (using minions or lieutenants in the boss slot). Of course, in that same sense. You have greater control over where you want your enemies to spawn.

1. Yes
2. lolz
3. Yes
4. Tank (Universal Kid)
5. Rare
6. Trial lasted around 90 minutes. AFK? No... although we (non bomb team) did stand around for a good 15 minutes or so waiting for the bomb phase to end.
7. 4 deaths

I suppose I am a little late to the party..

Other than clothes I mostly got dvds this year. Quite the varied assortment but these were the big ones I got from my mom.



Oh yeah, Avengers Assemble!

MoKeyes is probably the only one I will never actually get. So personally I will vote for it being the hardest to obtain.

As for easiest, I see a lot of votes for MoApex, but honestly... MoKahn is laughably easy.

So here's why I feel this set would be fairly easy to implement.

Game Mechanics

Most of the mechanics used in my presentation already exist in-game.

For example, Fighting Formations - The idea here was that Toy Soldiers are most times shown as marching and fighting in unison, to bring that idea to life in CoH:Freedom the Devs could look at the power which I modeled Fighting Formations after, Phalanx Fighting. As the Toy Soldiers remain within close proximity to each other their combat buff increases.

(Made up numbers incoming)

Single Toy Soldier
5% DMG, 2.5% Tohit, 2% DEF

Three Toy Soldiers
15% DMG, 7.5% Tohit, 6% DEF

Next let's look at Toy Master's Revenge - This power is intended to be the 2nd pet upgrade, only what I have presented here is an auto power which activates only after Upgrade Toys has been used. This could be achieved by using the Accelerated mechanic they introduced with Time Manipulation. Once Upgrade Toys was used the additional pet upgrades from Toy Master's Revenge would be unlocked automatically for each pet. The only thing I am unsure of regarding this power is rather or not the Explode auto power could be added to Mastermind pets.

Scatter Army Men - This power is intended as a sort of hybrid version of Caltrops and Oil Slick. Some may consider if an extremely powerful debuff for a Mastermind primary, but that's nothing an 8 minute base recharge couldn't cure.

Swap Toy Ammo - This one is pretty obvious already, but I've included it for completion sake.


Animations & Models

A good number of animations already exist or similar animations could easily be modified to get the desire effect.

Toy Gun & Swap Toy Ammo

• - They could easily use the default model for Assault Rifle as the model for the Toy Gun
• - The various ammo type animations currently already exist in-game.
• - Rubber Balls = Regular Juggle emote
• - Water Balloons = Combining the rubber balls from the juggle emote with the 'pop' animation from the bubbles path aura.
• - Firecracker Ammo = Just today they introduced the Fireworks emotes for the New Years pack.

Pets

• - We already have presents in-game. Which covers part of the summoning animations. The other half is already available with Robotics.
• - Freedom introduced a new military style Helicopter, that combined with the Praetorian military Tank and we have our pet models for Wind-up War Toys.

The idea of the Toy Master is someone who uses seemingly harmless children's toys to wreak havoc against their foes. His weapon of choice is a multi purpose air-powered toy gun. It is capable of firing a variety of 'ammo', including BBs, rubber balls, simple water balloons and firecrackers. Unlike most masterminds, along with the standard pet upgrade(s), the Toy Master has access to additional ammo types via a 'swap ammo' type power.

The reason behind the clone 'Swap Ammo' power is because I feel the Mastermind primary attacks are extremely under utilized. Giving them more unique effects, especially ones that could benefit a particular fight seems practical in fixing the one flaw that I personally find Mastermind attacks have.

Any enemy that pass over the plastic army men will be forced to move at a slower rate. They will also take some trivial Lethal damage over time and have their defense reduced.

Additionally, you have taken to rigging your Toys with explosives as the ultimate payback for when people break your Toys. When one of your Toys is destroyed they explode dealing damage to all enemies within the blast radius. This power is always on and costs no endurance. The explosives can only be triggered once every 90 seconds. This power requires "Upgrade Toys" to be active.

That's an amazingly smart little girl (assuming she wasn't coached). Actually thought this same thing when trying to figure out what to buy my niece for Christmas.

From the trailer, "When Gotham is.. ashes, you have my permission to die."

Seemed clear enough to me. Still, if in theaters I have a hard time understanding what Bane is saying I will be a little mad. At least until it comes out to dvd, and I am able to turn on subtitles.

Nice to know Nolan is willing to adjust it, even if only 'slightly'. Might be all that is needed.

Now I wish I could find the Prologue again, so that I could watch it and listen closer to what Bane is saying.

I got to the bottom of the OP and saw negative comments towards Thor, Captain America and Iron Man 2 (Which happen to be some of Marvels best to date) and then I thought to myself, "This is a poster who's opinion doesn't matter."

I'm a bit confused by the variety of replies. To clarify, in January I will get my 7 years playing badge regardless if I spend my banked rewards tokens? (I've already completely unlocked the Celestial set.)

I so want to go see this. Maybe after Christmas.

I'm hoping they have just as many or more of the planned attack sequences that Holmes displayed in the first movie. Those parts were my favorite.

It's official, 2012 is going to be the year of awesome.
