Looks like a fun set. I'm looking forward to trying it out myself. I'll definitely actively avoid teaming for a while once this rolls out though since everyone and their brother will be rolling new alts for it and the already over saturated VFX will get a whole lot worse on teams, much like when Seismic Blast was first released.

So Harrison Ford couldn't be arsed to grow a mustache for the role? Or wear a fake one? Love him but it's sad to see him wasted on this role. He's getting long in the tooth for these movies.

They did share their thought. I agree that un-avoidable, un-resistable, massive spike damage is bad design.

GoTG had a much smaller budget of around $250 million (less than half of CA: BNW depending on most reports) and was made during the heyday of the MCU. It also didn't hit the billion dollar mark at the box office. Things have changed considerably for the MCU since then with a rather lengthy run of mega-flops that have soured the audience. The reported $450 million dollar budget (mostly due to reshooting the bulk of the film) is a bigger budget than Avengers: Endgame which had all the A-list characters in it. It doesn't take a genius to work out this movie is going to fail. No way this even comes close to breaking even, let alone turning a profit. I'm wondering if this is being forced out due to deals with other actors/producers/directors?

This even more true now that the game isn't a for-profit business anymore. Difficulty grinds are made to keep people playing and paying longer. To be clear, I'm not saying people should be able to solo 4 star hard mode TFs or iTrials. Optional difficulty levels are a good thing.

I disagree with both. No one has suggested that the game should always be a cakewalk. This is why there's TFs, MSRs, Hamidon, iTrials etc. Those bits of team/raid content are made specifically for teams and several of them offer hard modes for even more challenge. Telling someone to just set themselves to -1 diff in order to feel super is a disincentive to improve.

What's the total item count of items you already have placed in your base? Once you go above a certain threshold in item count, the editor starts lagging big time.

There is a huge difference between how these ideas were presented on TOS and how the same concepts are presented today. Watch episodes like "The Save Curtain" and pay close attention to Uhura's reaction to the words Lincoln uses. Uhura didn't know what he was talking about and asked why would she be offended by what he said after he apologized. If tht were written today, she'd have launched into a 30 minute diatribe about slavery, oppression, how men are keeping her down, calling Lincoln ever -ist word in the book, etc.

As others have already said, go visit another trainer someplace else. Your problem is solved. Clearly you've also never seem to have heard of tropes like the hero's journey and/or redemption arcs in storytelling. Amen. I'd up-vote this 10,000 times if I could.

Thanks very much for the compliments. I appreciate it. Please do drop by anytime and visit whenever you like. Feel free to brings some friends for a toga part! 😁

I know. I said as much. Maybe you missed my post.

I'm not no. I'll message you privately with further details. I'd rather not allow the actions of others to further derail the thread. Thank you though. Your note is appreciated.

Oh I'm sure it's meant as a parody. I think it's funny myself. But I can see how some would report it instantly on sight.

This makes perfect sense, thanks. Might want to start with this guy lol 🤣

Since a couple of people brought making changes to sets like Energy Blast and such, IIRC the HC folk have said they won't change how KB works or add an option to change the KB to KD in sets because then "it would become mandatory for teams" or something to that effect, and they didn't want that to happen. Don't quote me on that as I'm not 100% sure, but it is something I seem to remember from a recent argument thread on KB vs KD.

Yeah, no. I know why you did it. You were being a troll and you know you were being a troll. I've got nothing to do with your problems with other players, so I kindly ask that you please take that silly nonsense elsewhere. Thank you.

I disagree with a number of things you've said here and absolutely disagree with your assertion that simply playing an Energy blaster is enough for someone to be kicked from a team.

@Vexxillion - Seriously? Laughing at someone paying me a compliment for the all hard work I put into my base? Thanks. Speaks volumes about you.

Who said they did? Nobody said anything even remotely close to this, nor did anyone suggest that people should be allowed to break the rules and make whatever copycat character they want. No idea where you got that idea from. Maybe you missed my earlier post -

STO has memorial plaques in the major hubs (Earth Spacedock, Q'onos, New Romulus) that players can click on. It contains the names of all of the people involved with Star Trek productions that have passed on. I don't know that you could add the names of every person who has sadly passed away here, but a general "in memoriam" type thing is a great idea.

Thanks for the compliments! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Please do drop by anytime.

Sometimes the big boys are just flagrantly giving each other the finger too lol.

No, it isn't really. That's great. Not everyone thinks the same as you do though. Actually, it is relevant. Many people want to make a character that is familiar to others. Many people consider games like these a form of virtual cosplay. There are also folks coming to this game that are used to being able to use skins of existing characters that are freely available in other games or that have no such copyright/trademark policy. That's not making an excuse for anyone to break the rules here. It's on the player to read the CoC before agreeing to play, so that's their fault for not reading the rules. I certainly don't disagree. I do understand why some would prefer to play as their favorite childhood hero though.

Because they love the characters they grew up with? Why do people cosplay as Marvel/DC/Image/Disney/whatever trademarked character? As to the topic, you should send a PM to a GM with screenshots and include character name and bio. It's HC's call to make, not anyone here.

^ This exactly.
