Thirty-Seven

Point taken, but why would it be a good idea to use a past bad example to establish new things going forward? There is no reason to increase the level of ridiculous with Stalkers just because existing sets do it.

Something tells me that he will make an appearance in the new Galaxy Tutorial... or, if he doesn't he may get moved to Ouro to talk with Flower Knight. Both, to me, would be fine. Especially if he has appropriate dialogue if placed in Ouro.

I love that the rules stated that Paradox is all-but required... while also contradicting themselves. Excellently done, Steelclaw!

Holy goodness that is a lot of effort to put into a single character... but I guess I gotta ask: what is her bio, and well, why all the effort?

(I will say that the last image there is simply sadistic looking. I assume that was the goal: nice.)

Since the dawn of the new Teammate window, I find that the icons are simply too big when the window is docked (which is how I prefer it), so I just turn all the icons off now. And now that applying my FF Buffs is AoE, I just toss them out once in awhile on the nearest player... and get who I can with them. Perhaps this is over lazy... but I also don't ever play Emps, or many other sets that involve actually watching when things expire, so I guess that might be a factor.

I was lucky enough to get on a CoP not that long ago... and if you have access to an SG with the proper equipment, it actually isn't that bad... Same number of teams required as a full BAF.

However, I think it is that first hurdle (the base stuff) that stands in the way of a lot of folks. Our SG could theoretically run them... we just don't. All we need at any one time to do it, is 3 SG members on at the same time to lead each team inthe League... from there, one can run several successful attempts in under an hour. It is only the invitation and staging time that takes a while.

While a TON of those ideas are fantastic, I think that other ones limit a comic. One of the things I like a lot about comics is the vast scale of them... aka the Multiverse. I like that it is possible for a hero to team up with himself, or a hero alternate universe villain... what have you. I think it is important to be able to have some character, somewhere who can warp reality... and do crazy things in a universe.

Likewise, there really should be an occassional ressurection. Perhaps not in a cheap way so that you feel like you wasted yoru anticipation and disbelief that they died two issues ago... but to have dead characters interact with the universe either through reanimation or... here it comes again... a plane where dead characters reside (an Elysian Fields, mayhap?).

Also, with regard to time. I would love it to make sense that a hero began his career at 18, and 30 years later is 48, has retired from heroing and is now helping his son along in his footsteps... but that is not always practical. Sometimes a hero only is relevant and makes sense at 18 or 30 or 523... forever. Maybe that means that he is a poorly designed character, maybe it is the nature of comics to portray time unrealistically. I don't know.

I think that if such a company existed, it would be interesting, and certainly new and exciting. However, I feel that it would be impossible to hold to all those promises for the long haul.

Sorry, Laevateinn, I must have misunderstood the part where you said "reroll" and "more effective" within a sentence of one another.

Wylde-Fire, my first, was a Grav/FF Controller who is my main character, my first 50, my first Incarnate and my account's Badge Collector boasting some 1030 badges. I think I soloed with him for the first few months I played... he was 17 or so the very first time I teamed. So, now when folks complain about slow leveling, or not being able to solo on a character, I just giggle to myself.

He has gone through a TON of costume changes (His mostly current one is to the right of my symbol in my sig. I say mostly because I just redesigned him again to incorporate some of the new Ascension pieces... and he may well be redesigned again very soon.), and respecs since his creation. And, he may not be the strongest character ever, and he has died so many times I can't even begin to try to estimate a count... but he's my favorite.
