Triumphant

@GM Crumpet Interesting. I was never familiar with the original version, myself. I did not really follow the fantastic 4 comics that closely, save when they battled Doctor Doom, as I've always found their arch-foe and his grandiose schemes more fun to read about than the team itself, for some reason. I suppose you have a point, though. I ought to watch more than a single episode and give it time to get some "legs", before I make a judgement.

It's been a month, or so, since I last ran the arc. But I did get the ring, yes.

I am not a fan of Discovery. The visual aesthetics of the show just turned me off sufficiently, that I couldn't watch it (a shame, considering the great cast of actors it has to its credit). The ship is ugly. The Klingons are goofy looking. And... Spore Drive. Yeah, no. I realize Star Trek is not hard sci-fi. It has its silly technobabble, etc. But this was just a step too far into the absurd, even for an old Trek fan, like myself. Also, a show focused specifically on Section 31 is a bit too niche for me. And, I suppose, not really the tone I want from a Trek show, anyway. This one (like Discovery) is going to get a pass from me. Definitely looking forward to more Strange New Worlds, though (But, for the love of god, no more musical episodes, please! 🤦‍♂️).

I always watch the first episode and judge thereby. If it's good, I'll keep watching. If not, I'll move on. I loved WandaVision and really enjoyed the character, so I'm fairly confident I'll like this. The proof is in the pudding, though, so we'll see. 🤷‍♂️

I'm open to anything, if the content if fun. Having said that, I'm not wedded to continuing the established plot points, per-se. The thing was supposed to happen in the future. Perhaps actions by heroes and/or villains (or both) prevented this from happening. Or maybe the game just takes place in the interim, before these events actually take place. Still, if the Devs want to address it and run with the idea, I'm cool with that too. It all just comes down to (as with all new content) the execution.

Needs a lot of work, but there's definitely potential here. In the present form, I find it more distracting than immersive. But I'm sure you've got a lot of tweaking that you mean to do before releasing a finished product. Looking forward to see what you come up with! 👍

A rare few of us use RP and/or generic builds for farming, because we don't want to make dedicated farming builds. For mediocre farmers such as myself, I always appreciate heals and endurance buffs to keep me chugging along. But as others have noted above, a truly well-built farmer will not need this kind of support and, unlike myself, most folks probably have built dedicated farming toons.

Ridiculous. Danny Devito is too short to play Grogu.

Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar. 😄👍 So basically, it's a decently fun action romp, but nothing spectacular, and I can wait until it's released for free on a streaming service. Got it. Thanks for the review. 🙂🙏

I wouldn't be too discouraged. A run several 50+ incarnates (a couple at tier 4) that can regularly run +4/8 content, but I've never been able to knock down a pylon on my own. I've barely been able to even make the health bar go down very much on a pylon. I've never been able to solo an arch villain on my own, either (fwiw, if anything). Except for maybe... two? missions, you never have to destroy a pylon, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you really DO want to play at the top levels of the game, though, I'm sure there are plenty of top-tier players here that would be willing to help you with your build, tactics, power rotation, etc. I've never cared enough to pursue that level of mastery of the game but, if that's something that you enjoy, it's totally legit to do that. 👍

Yeah, anything that would change up the formula a little would have a better chance of capturing my interest. 👍

Well, I think that pretty much settles that.

After watching the first episode, my main gripe isn't actually that Penguin was gender swapped. Despite that, it just feels like more of the same old, to me. I think the problem is maybe I'm just burnt out on Batman, actually. The Brave and the Bold is the last Batman that really did it for me. The humorous approach was just something fresh and new that sort of revived my interest for a time. This thing, despite the various changes, just feels like a more traditional approach and, while there's certainly nothing wrong with that, I guess I'm just bored with it. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, but Snark, that is a misleading statement. You're Nosferatu, so you can't die anyway. You can only be placed in a torpor. Have some sympathy for us mortal plebes, m'kay? 🤷‍♂️

20 MINUTES? Sweeeeet Jeeeebus.... 😬

Ah, so like an Avatar water bender sort of effect. That sounds cool.

I guess I just meant how to get the melee attack to actually look like water in the animation. Although... ice is just frozen water, of course. I dunno. Having trouble wrapping my brain around how the visuals would work, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

No objections to the idea. I'm wondering how you would animate the attacks, though. 🤔

Indeed. Almost all of the game has been (and continues to be) soloable. There is far more soloable content than content which cannot be completed without a team. As far as I know, this has always been true since Homecoming has existed (I don't know about live play. I wasn't there for that, sadly).

Some people play this game a lot. Other people play this game A LOT. That is one impressive collection of screen shots, my friend. Actually, impressive is entirely inadequate. MIND-BOGGLING, is more like it. Sorry to see you go. Here's wishing you great fun and contentment at whichever game you will (I have no doubt) dominate next. 👍

I don't think TinMage was ever really meant to be soloed (though people have, of course, always managed to figure out how to solo almost all content in the game). It's a50+ lvl taskforce. I can't solo it with any of my incarnate builds and never have been able to accomplish this (even before the recent changes). I think that's okay. There is still plenty of other content that players (including mediocre ones, like myself) can solo. Why should all of it be soloable? Since the changes, some of the content I used to run at +4/8, I now can only run at +4/4 (or even +3/6, in some cases). Other content I can still manage at +4/8 most of the time, but I occasionally get wiped or I may feel some momentary frustration with certain upgraded foes. This is also okay, in my opinion- even desirable, as I could get quite bored fighting the usual same old- and now I find it more challenging. I'm forced to engage more carefully and be on my toes. This makes play more interesting to me. Now, there may be a day when I just want to relax and vegg-out and mow through mobs for fun and profit. When I want to do that, I just turn the difficulty down or tackle easier content. Problem solved P.S. Also sorry that we lost notable players, like Veracor. Still, have you considered the possibility that after achieving veteran level 7,597,257,344, that maybe he just got bored and moved onto something new? Just spitballing, here. 🤷‍♂️

I'll have to wait until it's released on one streaming service or another, but I look forward to your review. 👍

😎🤘

I hear you. The original Legacy of Kain videogame was possibly the best voiceover work ever done. I still look back on that game fondly, all these years later. Templeman would be a great choice, no doubt about it.

Yeah, this looks badass, my friend. Awesome work! 🤘 Edit: One small suggestion I might make: Pick a shoulder piece to cover up that small gap between the armor plates on the chest and back. Other than that... *chef's kiss*
