  1. Still testing Advanced mode,.

     

    however i also have tested Master badge mode and have noted that on mission 3 now if both Infernia and Glacia are defeated the mission no longer fails and the Master badge is also not failed.  I completed the TF on a toon that doesn't have Master of LGTF and the badge did award.   Also Infernia and Glacia were taken down rather fast by the Rikti, have they been nerfed?

     

    (you still MUST safely get Yin out in mission 1, that has not changed on Master mode)

     

    Also as of the new update on Beta we finally get an upgraded to the hamidon Essence temp power!  Thank you for this as that temp power for years on live has had no information as to what it truly does besides some protection from extra-dimensional enemies and I have thought of as basically useless.

     

     

    NOW it is a TOGGLE POWER!   Here are the details:

     

     You have tapped into the power of the Hamidon. Channeling this force enables your powers to affect transdimensional entities. It will last for up to two weeks.

    This power will prevent the following from affecting you in Advanced Mode: -

    Special Assault Suit Teleswaps -

    Neural Nullifier Bubbles -

    Entangler Turrets & Entangler Chasers -

    Radiation Leaks -

    Rikti War Zone Pylon Freems -

    Rikti War Zone Drop Ship Freems

    This power can be transferred to another player. Expires in 14 days of real time

     

    However: despite the 14 day timer,  upon completion of a regular LGTF, master LGTF, or advanced LGTF, the power disappears from your character.  So no quick runs of LGTF on regualr mode for this power 🙂

  2. marvel has at long last regained the rights to both ROM Spaceknight and the Micronauts.  Omnibus reprints of both series are coming this year.

     

    ROM Omnibus #1 has released,  4 different covers.  It contains ROM isues 1 - 29 and Power Man and Iron Fist #73 where ROM guest starred.

     

    This is the first time Marvel has ever reprinted ROM and first time they have ever regained the trademarks.  These Omnibus collections will also have the issues of other Marvel books that ROM guest starred in that could never be reprinted before.  Including Power Man and Iron Fist #73, Marvel 2 in 1 #99 and Incredible Hulk #296 

  3. **Bailout Hero Badge**: the final badge from Dark Astoria arcs. You only get this mission from Dream Doctor after you have done all the other missions including his personal mission. Also you need to do the DA missions live in DA and not via Ouro or you can't get this mission.  The mission is to complete the Dilemma Diabolique trial and you get the badge.   To be safe you can use the 3 day auto complete option to complete the mission and you get the badge easily.  After some testing with this mission I have learned for sure that it awards only to the mission holder AND if you are on a Dilemma Diabolique iTrial that fails (rare but possible) then you luckily get to retain the mission and try again to get it via the iTrial.   That is good as this mission/badge is NOT available via Ouroborus.  Just confirmed this on the Brainstorm beta server, thanks to the ones that padded the team so that I could launch the trial and wait out the clock solo.......

    No, they shouldn't have.  Nor should this or the last Indiana Jones film ever been made.  All of these studios trying to resurrect properties and stars older than dirt to milk as much as possible out of them is what's getting old.  I wonder how many mega flops it will take before these movie studios start creating new stuff again?

     

    Passing the fedora to his own son or daughter would be better then bringing Harrison back.

  5. Cyborg Superman:  technology origin: TANK   Level 50 Powers: Invul/Super Strength plus laser eyes from the Epic pools,  but also his ability to turn others into Cyborgs and control them and his own metal structure would also add Robot Mastermind powers to him.

     

    The Eradicator: hard-light hologram meant to defend and revive Superman.  Technology origin: TANK, Level 50 Radiation armor  as he is energy and energy cannot be destroyed only transformed, and he was sending energy into Superman to revive him.  Super Strength but also  energy melee as he was energizing his fists and also energy blasts. I classify him as a tank as he easily withstood both Steel and  the Superboy clone, and held his own against the cyborg, their battle ending in a stalemate.

     

    Superboy: quasi-clone of Superman. Science origin: TANK.  I'd would say Scrapper but super strength is not available for scrappers.   level 25 at best as he is young and not in the fullness of his powers.

     

    Steel: Technology origin TANK.  Level 50 as he was able to hold his own against Eradicator for a time in their second fight but was worn down as he is a man in a suit of armor and can get tired while the Eradicator cannot.  Powers: Invulnerable and titan weapon hammer.  Also some blaster capability as he was shooting at the Eradicator in their second fight.

     

    Thoughts?

    Was not full at my theatre on opening day, but let me say, while I didn't care for Mutt, I neither wished his character dead and my problems with KotCS was some of the CGI scenes more than anything...gah, that monkey vine swing scene...how did they not see that as being so bad?

     

    For tDoD, it was an okay Indy film.  It was a terrible send off.  Never should've killed off Mutt.  That was a terrible choice.  Wombat and her wannabe Short Wound, not the best.  I have heard people complain about the CGI/Old Indy voice on the face of younger Indy...didn't bother me.

     

    I did love seeing Marion at the end tho 🙂

     

     

    They should have recast Mutt and passed the Fedora to him.

     

    However as weak and bad as this movie was, I would rather watch Indiana Jones 4 and 5 and the Star Wars Holiday Special then Matrix 4.

  7. Forgot to mention: The RV AV's can be soloed, odds of success vary depending on AT and power sets.   You also need to figure out which AV to hit first, possibly separate the two, drag them to nearby NPC's that will attack them, have a heavy unit, envenomed daggers and some other temp power pets that work in the zone.

     

    Of course.......I never said it would be easy.  Have fun soloing Lord Recluse! (yes, it can be done 🙂 )

    I've been able to spawn and defeat the Black Scorpion/Captain Mako team in Recluse's Victory, and the Ghost Widow/Scirocco pair several times, but I haven't seen Lord Recluse spawn so I'm missing the Arachnophobic badge.

     

    Is there a trick to spawning Lord Recluse?  Does he only show for 2+ players?  Is it random which AV pair he shows up with?  I thought the villain support was either BS+CM or GW+Scir+LR.

     

    It is all random, there is NO pattern of pillboxes for spawning the AVs.    It will be either Scorpion + Mako, or Scirocco + GW  with Recluse randomly replacing one of them.   He spawns when you are solo or with a team, it is just random

  9. I watch older TV shows and movies that have lost some cast and crew over the years,  case in point Babylon 5 and the original Night Court.  Richard Moll aka Bull recently passed away leaving only Dan and Roz left from the old show.   I still laugh at the jokes in Night Court and enjoy the story of Babylon 5

     

    James Earl Jones has struck a deal for his voice to be AI cloned from now and forever.  Thus voice of Vader shall live on.   I have no problem with that as I have heard others play Vader in assorted Star Wars games over the years........James Earl Jones IS Vader, imo.

     

    Peter Cullen, a prolific voice actor best known as the original voice of Optimus Prime is still around and I think he got a life time achievement award recently.    I don't know how he feels about AI voice cloning, but I hope he does strike a deal to keep the voice of Optimus Prime alive.   His most recent work is in Invincible Season 2 as Thaedus. You will know his voice when you hear it 🙂

    You got me there @ThaOGDreamWeaver Highlander (1986) was great. It was also meant to be the only one. When you have your grand climatic battle that's it. Denouement. The problem was it was a huge success and everyone wanted more. I don't fault the movies or tv series for having to get a little creative at times. I'll take it all for what it is. Hell, I'd probably get run off if I told everyone my favorite movie of the series. But for me the tv series is my favorite Highlander version.

     

    The TV series retcons the first movie so that yes Connor did defeat Kurgan but it was NOT the final gathering.  This is established early in Season 2 when Duncan first meets Joe Dawson.

     

    Season 1 of Highlander was a bit rough until he went to Paris to meet up with Darius and fought Grayson, the first "ancient" immortal Duncan had to face. Grayson was roughly 1800 years old to Duncan's 400.  Season 1 then had to adjust for the death of the actor that played Darius, and they wanted a new "wise mentor" type of character for Duncan to talk to and tried a couple until they made Methos, the 5000+ year old immortal.  A fun TV series, I did not like how they removed Richie from the show however.

     

    The movie  Endgame.....well there is the theater version, the cable version and the DVD version all with some differences.  We get the forced fight of Duncan vs Connor so that their literal combined power can take down the big villain whom according to the Watchers was at nearly 666 kills of immortals to Duncan's 100+.  The premise was that made him too powerful despite Duncan taking down far older immortals in the TV show..

     

    OVerall Endgame was mediocre at best and Highlander 5 The Source was so bad it skipped theaters and premiered on SyFy and was flamed to ashes by the fans

  11. Well Highlander is slated for total reboot.   Adrian Paul (Duncan Macleod) as far as I recall enjoyed the TV series but the movie Endgame left him less then thrilled,  and Highlander 5 the Source really soured him.  HL5 was so bad it skipped theaters, premiered on Syfy channel, was meant to start a trilogy and has been abandoned.   There are tales that teh script that was used to get him to agree to do the movie was changed to what was used and that movie is a sore spot to all involved.

     

    Endgame finally gave us Duncan vs Connor, but it was a suicidal Connor that wanted to die and basically committed "Suicide by Duncan" so that their combined power could defeat the movie villain

     

    As to Forever Knight, too much time has passed for the original cast to do more then make cameos. It needs to be a total reboot.

     

    For Airwolf, that would also be a total reboot,  and I would hope they would keep the espionage theme that Season 1 had rather then degrade the show to villain of the week gettting blasted by Airwolf.   Two of my favorite episodes were when one of the designers of Airwolf made Red Wolf aka Airwolf 2 and we get an aerial battle between the two.  My otehr favorite was the episode where the main creator of Airwolf left preprogrammed instructions in Airwolf's computers to make it go on a deadly rampage. A literal ghost in the machine

     

    Also let's get a proper Knight Rider reboot, disregard movies Knight Rider 2000 and especially 2010, and the 2008 reboot

  12. Robert Kirkman, the creator, wants at least 7 or 8 seasons to tell the full story.

     

    Somethings are changed, such as the S2 episode with Atlantis being different then the comic.

     

    Also when I heard the voice of Thaedus I had a big smile on my face........the famous voice of Peter "Optimus Prime" Cullen!

    Which is why 14 has to keep mum about which version he really is.  If she doesn't know he's the third of a new set of generations, then she's left thinking he's 10.  She does know that 10 bled off a regeneration to extend his own existence. 

     

     

    IF I recall, Tennant did state in an interview that while he looks like Doc 10 he is Doc 14 and that some personality changes should be expected.  We shall see.

     

    Doc 9 becomes 10/Tennant, then 10 uses a regeneration to stay alive and bleeds it off into his severed hand to prevent changing his appearance, then later 10 becomes 11.  Then years later 13 regenerates and becomes Tennant-Doctor again.   4 regenerations involving Tennant who was Doc 10 so he literally is Doc 14.

     

    I wouldn't be surprised if they reveal that the Toymaker tampered with the regeneration process to bring back Tennant's version of the Doctor.  Hopefully they reveal that Toymaker caused Doc 13 to be a gender flip as a way to torment the Doctor and that the Timeless Child story can be retconned away.

  14. Well that time of the year is approaching when the event with the most badges will be running. 

     

    Here are the links to the Homecoming wiki that show the badge information, which is current as of last year's event.   35 badges plus 2 Accolade badges for a total of 37.  Good hunting!

     

    https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Halloween_Event/Badges

     

    https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Dr._Kane's_House_of_Horror

     

    https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Halloween_Event_2010#Whispered_Rumor_Tip_Mission

     

    Addendum: last year the new Elite bosses and their badges were added. The badges award prisms when obtained but they then patched them so that while you are level 1 to 24 you can fill the badge meters for them, but the badges and prisms do not reward until you train to level 25.

     

    Also: be sure to have a ToT costume power with you when you do the Haunted Mansion.  You dont need to wear it the whole time, but if you want the badge you MUST activate it before the final giant is defeated.  Kheldians and Granite armor may shut down the costume power when they transform.
