Increasing Difficulty without Undoing Things
ZacKing replied to Steampunkette's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Why don't people run the existing AE content that's designed specifically to be more challenging? or better yet, create their own stuff with custom NPC groups that are all EBS and AVs if they want tougher fights? stuffs there, people just don't use it. -
It's not that hard to find teams here. Joining multiple groups is kinda what coalitions are for. you have your separate chat channel for it. your "problem" is basically solved with coalitions. might be a good idea to increase the number of or get rid of the coalition limit though. would also be cool to get a separate coalition roster tab like the SG one where you can see who is on and in what group. No idea how easy that would be to code though.

The reason you don't see those posts saying anything against the travel updates is because they're hidden almost immediately after being posted. totally agree more difficulty options and more difficult content is the answer. I don't know why they're wasting their time and talents on updating the Warriors and travel powers and stuff. There's definitely some great AE stuff out there but people seem to think it's just for fire farming.

totally agree it should've been 2 or 3 films which is what I think Snyder planned anyway. I can't say I would blame WB though, they just don't have the money to toss at this stuff like Disney does with Marvel. I thought it was ok. better than the Whedon version, but still not great. the longer time really helped with Steppenwolf to develop him more. I can't stand Ezra Miller or Ray Fischer. both are just terrible actors. Love Jason Momoa and Gal Gadot. Batfleck is ok. I think this would have been a lot more epic if Snyder had the chance to refine it more.

People forget that those Spines/Regen scrappers were special built to tank Hami only and sacrificed a lot if not all their offense, so outside of Hami they were totally useless. They also forget the game never had or needed a trinity to do anything. Teams of blasters or defenders or controllers could steamroll anything. Definite no vote from me on this whole idea. This x 1000. There's challenging content out there, people just don't run it. there's even specific AE arcs meant to be more challenging. If there is any problem at all, it's the game doesn't have enough content designed for incarnates. just my personal 2 cents, but rather than screwing around with un-needed updates around travel powers and low level story arcs, the focus should be on creating content built for and balanced around incarnates. If the folks here really want to shine and show what they can do, that's going to add way more value than what they are doing now. Don't mean that to be disparaging because there's some smart people there.

Suggestion: please deemphasize the low level arcs
ZacKing replied to ZaranBlack's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Only speaking for myself, but even a good story isn't going to get me to run the same thing 20 times or more. Maybe if there's badges needed for accolades I might. beyond that, I'll skip it. I don't think we need to be criminalizing it either. If that's what people want to do because they find it fun, let them. -
Man I loved the Highlander series. Always thought Adrian Paul would've made a decent James Bond.
-
Ok but people still ran sewers to bypass low level content.
-
Looking forward to checking it out. all the reviews I've seen so far say it stinks though lol

Focused Feedback: Travel Power Updates (Build 1)
ZacKing replied to Arcanum's topic in [Open Beta] Focused Feedback
Thanks man appreciate it. Just wanted to make sure. I like this update to fly especially since I don't need to change anything lol. Only feedback I have would be make the new Afterburner kick in automatic if you're flying in a straight line for a bit without maneuvering. the pop up tray is annoying. other than that, I like it. -
Focused Feedback: Travel Power Updates (Build 1)
ZacKing replied to Arcanum's topic in [Open Beta] Focused Feedback
sorry if this has been asked already, with this change does adding a flight speed enhancement in swift gain anything or is that not needed anymore? -
Sure but people still ran it to bypass lower level story content.
-
Before DFB, people ran sewers so not much difference.

Remarkable Marvel foreshadowing
ZacKing replied to Techwright's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
The writers for these Marvel movies are totally masters of this kind of thing. So many of these gems from the movies. My favorite was from Avengers and Endgame. STARK: What he's got is an ACME dynamite kit. It's gonna blow up in his face, and I'm gonna be there when it does. BANNER: Yup. I'll read all about it. STARK: Uh huh. Or you'll be suiting up with the rest of us. BANNER: Ah, you see, I don't get a suit of armor. I'm exposed, like a nerve. It's a nightmare. STARK: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel trying every second to crawl it's way into my heart. This stops it, this little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a terrible privelege. BANNER: But you can control it. STARK: Because I learned how. BANNER: It's different. STARK: Hey, I read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should've killed you. BANNER: So you're saying that the Hulk - the other guy - saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Saved it for what? STARK: I guess we'll find out. and from Endgame HULK: Lightning won't help you pal. It's gotta be me. You saw what those stones did to Thanos. They almost killed him. None of you could survive. CAPTAIN AMERICA: How do we know you will? HULK: We don't. But the radiation's mostly gamma. It's like I was made for this. that's some serious worldbuilding skill there. -
MCU thoughts and theory-crafting
ZacKing replied to Techwright's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Yeah I know about Him. he was mentioned by name as Adam in GoTG2 -
MCU thoughts and theory-crafting
ZacKing replied to Techwright's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Wasn't Adam Warlock teased at the end of GoTG 2? Not sure what they'd have him do since Thanos is gone now. -
Ok so now we know who's behind the whole hex and getting Wanda to do it and it's a great choice!
-
I'm enjoying the show. something different and I'm liking how MCU getting expanded through these. I think Wanda knows what's going on but she's being coerced in some way. Someone promised her to bring Vision back if she does something for them in return.
-
Yeah you did insult him, no doubt about it. maybe follow your own advice?

Babylon 5 Remastered on HBO Max
ZacKing replied to Apparition's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Damn would love to watch this but I refuse to pay for HBO after the shitty way they ended GoT -
Right by saying "stop whining" and that's insulting. never said your suggestions for what to do wasn't good, I just said you can convey that message without insulting anyone and telling people to "stop whining". I'm not outraged at all, just calling it like I see it.
-
Telling a person to "stop whining" is labelling them a whiner, which to my eyes is name calling. I've got it straight, thanks. The folks here have also said they're looking for feedback and ideas and dreams on these forums. you can get a point across without insulting others. working as intended doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement.
-
Your point can be made without resorting to name calling. You've lost any credibility with this. Yeah, we all know the game is free. The folks running it have also said they want to continue to work on it and improve it. people offering suggestions is helpful to them.
-
I don't think this is a good idea. you'd be splitting an already dwindling population even further.

Time to enforce the name holding expiration rules
ZacKing replied to Kazuuk's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Zero reason to use this as an excuse for a vendetta against others who play differently. You can get to 50 easily outside of AE with free XP boosts and just running TFs.
