Quote:Listen to this man. The movie starts out with a powerful opening, but beyond that the whole movie's a mess. It's a sad thing when a movie's all downhill after the first 5 minutes. It also lacks the connection to the characters that Miyazakis works have, which is just about the biggest draw of his films.I've seen it, and it sucks.
The characters have unexplained backgrounds, and act in ways that make no sense. The magical framework of the world is not explained. Things happen for no rational reason, and then it ends. (Sorry, but this is the best I can do without spoilers.)
I really, REALLY wanted to like this film. Ive been an anime fan since the mid-1980s when I lived in Japan. My first exposure to anime was, in fact, Miyazakis Nausicaa. Ive loved everything out of Studio Ghibli since before there was a studio Ghibli, save for Ponyo and this mess.
Stay away. Im serious.
I can't remember any specific scenes of nice animation, either, except the introduction I've already mentioned.
Avoid, avoid, avoid. -
I've got to chime in with another vote for Broadsword. It's showing its age, and could use another glance from the powers that be.
Edit: Also..
Emote /e earpiece: The character brings their hand to their ear, like they do when activating the temporary power [IR Goggles].
Neutral animations for the Medicine Pool, please!
Regeneration's Moment of Glory's animation is wonderful, but the root does kill 3 seconds out of a 15 second duration power. If removing the root is in your scope of things, could you look into it?
Thanks! -
My scrapper gets the "Nice Heals" comments every now and then as well. He is a paladin, after all.

Free art? I'm in!
I'll take Albania and Estonia! -
It seems to be whoever's at the front of the "Who's On" list is showing up in the Welcome, $name marker.
Now I've got to go back to my spot in King's Row before the boss sees me using this computer.. -
I'm Paladin!
But I'll be logging out until this is fixed; while it's innocuous right now, you're all a clever bunch. Let's play hot potato with the log in marker. -
I'm not sure what it is, but the forums have logged someone else in as me as well. It's just some forum bug. A bit freaky, but hopefully harmless.

You'll be up and "atom" in no time, Positron. Working in the healthcare field's given me some experience with the virus, and let me tell you that you're better off getting the h1n1 virus rather than the regular ol' flu. Despite the stigma attached, it's not really much to worry about here in the good US of A.
Get plenty of bed rest, and try not to think about work too much. Milk the stigma as much as you can for plenty of time off work! -
Thanks for doing this, Niviene! I've been looking for a change to my forum handle since I began. I only saw this today, so here's hoping it goes through.

I imagine it's one of the things they're working on. They mentioned that there are a lot of fixes and tweaks in the pipe for these forums, and the presence of the Quick Reply box even before hitting a reply button suggests that it's only temporarily unavailable.
Things'll be up to snuff soon. -
I did notice that after my post, and edited it. Hopefully it will be an encouragement to others who read this thread any didn't notice the sticky.
Thanks for mentioning it, too, Croesis. -
Quote:Very well put. Thanks for letting us know that this is on the agenda to be addressed.My faith in the community team is... well, not really restored, as 'Generally Positive' doesn't tend to change all that much. But it's great to hear this is being looked into.
It was starting to bug me, and it doesn't even affect my handle (though I'd have to wonder what other strange person in the EU would have my exact one). -
I'm not particularly fond of the new layout. The previous boards seemed pretty straightforward and clean; the new ones are aesthetically unpleasant to my eyes. Admittedly, this is a reaction to change and I may change my mind when I'm used to the new look. However, I would request an option to load the forums without any graphics in the background for connection purposes.
The NA/EU name suffix is very annoying. Will there be an option in the future for those who've had their names changed by the boards to rename themselves, or is this not supported in the board's program?
Edit: I didn't notice the sticky thread created by TheOcho, but according to him the NA/EU suffix are temporary. Very pleasant news. Thanks, boards team! -
Oh, shoot. For some reason I thought this was going to be on Sunday.
Glad it was a hit! -
I'll be there!
After all, I already committed when I set down that first Ouroboros portal back in Talos during the ship-raid. Should be fun! -

Did you know that in ancient times, seagoing vessels were much more fuel efficient? It's true!
They got thousands of miles to the galleon.

Way to go, Virtue!
This was an amazing amount of fun, and certainly felt epic coming together to take down those dropships. To top it all off, we managed to beat our record from last year.
Those Rikti had better think twice before they invade our city again!
The call sounds: To Skyway!
Heroes assemble to attack a Talos dropship's thrusters!
The Talos dropship responds by beaming Rikti crew to the earth.
A dropship attacks in Atlas Park!
But heroes open fire in defense of their comrades..
And they don't let up! -

Torn between a few features..
Ever since Supergroup bases were put in the game I've wanted to be able to log into my base when I log out there.
The ability to walk rather than run would be nice.
Some buff/debuff epic powerpools for scrappers. It'd be nice to give them something to offer when faced with the idiotic, buff/debuff only situations like Reichsman and The Honoree. -
"When Pigments Fly" made me smile.
Very clever! -
Just re-read the thread. I'll happily lead one of the hero teams on the 18th in Talos.
Pal's a flier, and I've got a /kin friend that should be able to make it on the team as well. -

Out of Character should be self explanatory:

You can count me in for it, Tech.
I'll be bringing Paladin, my Scrapankfendaster. (50 BS/Regen scrapper with a lot of temp powers)
