Snatch 10. The Fellowship of the Ring 11. Fight Club 12. Trading Places 13. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly 14. 2001: A Space Odyssey 15. Monty Python's Life of Brian 16 Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan 17. The Outlaw Josey Wales 18. Escape From New York 19. Highlander 20. Twelve Monkeys There are far too many great movies to fit in such a small list, as such my list is incomplete and I'm sure I missed some greats that belong in my top 20 but which don't come to mind at the moment. I seriously considered just listing all of the MCU movies, but those are in a class all to themselves...

GW2 is just plain terrible. Also, DEATH TO NCSOFT!

This. Many times over, this.

The absolute opposite of a team player would be a petless mastermind, perhaps a Merc/FF with 6-slotted brawl, Whirlwind(always on), every KB power available(especially AoE's), PFF only, Detention Field(spammed)... Yeah. That would be godawful to have to team with.

We agree! I agree with you, Confuse is quite a bit better than just having a pet or pets. What I was suggesting had little to do with making Mind Control more powerful or even better. I was suggesting giving the powerset a truly unique power. Maybe it could affect a single boss, and/or 2 Lt's, amd/or 3 minions, which would be "permanently" confused, even allowing them to exit instances with you. Something akin to what the Purple Man did to Jessica Jones(minus the rapey bit). I think it would be fun to mentally enslave ANY enemy up to Boss level and keep them around for a while. As I said though, the coding to enable such a power is doubtless more than anyone is willing to do, so it will likely remain just my dream.

Here's a fun idea I take from the old days of playing AD&D 1st edition: Instead of that ever present 5% chance being a miss, make it a fumble! Then it could have a number of random effects. Maybe you accidentally hit your teammate(s) or pet(s)! Maybe you whiffed so hard that you knocked yourself down(bypassing any KB protection)? Maybe in the midst of chaotic battle, you temporarily became Confused? And of course, the chance that you simply missed(because it's tradition). There could be any number of interesting effects!

Um you do realize that Mass Confusion does not turn them into a pet eh? Just like regular Confuse, Mass Confusion does not turn them into literal "pets", which is what I was suggesting so...

As it is literally "Mind Control", I've always thought that the t9 should allow the user to turn any mob(up to boss level) into their pet until either its defeat, release, or until used again on another mob(at which point the previously controlled pet would become an enemy once again). I know, I know, this would require a ton of coding and whatnot, but I can dream...

Some people think cucumbers taste better pickled.

My AR/MM hoverblaster is lots of fun to play, and was relatively cheap to build(4 Thunderstrike sets and 4 Artillery sets don't cost very much and help to soft-cap ranged damage). Sure lethal is resisted, but for cones/taoe you'll also do fire, psi, and smashing damage, so it's not all lethal. Drain Psyche isn't very useful as you want to stay away from close range, but very few mobs actually fly up to you so it's pretty durable. The hardest part about using cones is the AI and tab-targeting. It seems like the devs worked very hard to be sure that whatever you tab-target will be in the worst possible place for cone attacks, and the mobs seem to have a danger sense when you're about to press a cone attack and they suddenly run to a position where the least number of targets will be hit. Other than that if you can target the group's center then you'll lay waste to them.

Everybody knows that wearing masks is just a Nemesis plot, that hospital teleporter technology kills puppies, and that Magic is totes not real, yo.

As humans our memories tend to be faulty, we often misremember things and simply the act of remembering can alter our memories. This is the reason why the so-called "Mandela Effect" is so ridiculous. Have you ever played Lord of the Rings Online? In both pve and pvmp many teams used markers like you're describing to designate tank, healer, etc. My tribe leader in LOTRO pvmp liked using it to target enemy healers rather than players in our group. I've played CoH since launch and don't have any memory of this in the game, but as my opening statement says, I could be misremembering or could simply have forgotten about "that one time"...

Like talking to a river in Egypt...

Titan Weapons called to say you just never had big enough damage for her, but don't feel bad or self-conscious, not all Powersets are created equal. Damage size matters...

I got hurt by *this enemy* so please nerf *this enemy* because I hates it, thanks.

I clear Fire Farm maps at +4x8 in 30 seconds flat with my AR/Sonic Defender. The key(methematically) is to 6-slot Brawl.

A true speedster needs racing stripes. It's a scientific fact that racing stripes make everything go faster, ZOOM!

How could I have forgotten? Discombobulated I have a character on Everlasting named "Discombobulator", after all.

Dark Armor/Electric Melee. If it can't kill my tank in 8 seconds, then Dark Regen refills my health bar. That's with 58+% melee Defense, and 90% resist to all but Energy and Toxic(which usually hit 70%+ with the ATO resist proc). Best part is Lightning Rod for the BOOM!

Note that there are two movies in the Least Favorite category, the first one directed by Ang Lee, followed by the Ed Norton one. I get that you want to keep it on topic in just the MCU, but I was responding to this: If my joke didn't fly, oh well, some people think cucumbers taste better pickled.

Fire Armor might be the best for a melee character in Apex, if they read their skills and prepare a little before the sewer/Hydra part. My Rad/Fire Brute puts Healing Flames on Auto at the beginning of the mission, doesn't take it off until we reach the KR Police Station. Every use gives +15% Toxic Resist, and it's easily stackable to 90% or so if used a lot before entering the sewers. Rad Armor probably does pretty well against toxic damage, also.

LOL, so many people who've never actually played a well built lvl 50 Thugs/Kin MM.

CoH is the game that introduced me to altitis, and it's chronic. On Excelsior alone I have over 115 characters, about half are lower than lvl 20, dozen or so 50's(most IO'd), couple of "themed" character types with 6-20+ similar characters. I have a 50 sitting on every other server along with a couple dozen or more other alts for that server, too. It's not enough. I will think of another name or look or powerset combo and off I'll go at the character creator. New alts are the biggest part of the game to me. Some will go on to know true power, others will dwell on the shelf forever. It's the nature of the beast... hmm, nature? Beast? Well I'm off to make a new Beast/Nature MM. Laters.

Is it something to do with eigenvalues?!
