I see what you are saying. I was looking at this in the context the original poster laid out (see quote below). More of a surgical removal of the boss and minions from a large room with many groups. "Its literally just smacking up a specific mob." you seemed to answer your own question. Defeating a specific target is one of the mission types. While there may be little to no tactics on a steamroll there can absolutely be tactics involved when solo on say a single target specialist playing at a higher difficulty or on a less than character. As always, it's just my opinion given as feedback to the suggestion not as a rebuke. Keep suggestions coming!

While we often have requests for set improvement or addition of epic level sets, how about some just for fun or challenge? Clown MMs is a common request. Why not, but don't worry about making it good. Could we have a three propel set with tazer and char that uses rotten fruit and vegetables in the names and animations? More Fun / Less Min-Max !! (Troo knows this is a great idea, no kudos needed)

@DrRocket I'd be onboard with some selective time sync reduction but not removal. Some of the labeled "time syncs" are immersion while others are tactical. "making players traveling across zones" Immersion, while I believe there is no need for Numina level zone changing anymore. "kill all mobs" It is a reasonable ask that it be all-but-one or targets showing on maps when at 95%. (I don't need this) "kill the boss and his guards" Tactical part of the game with see above Kill all mobs room for improvement. "when mobs that have Moment of Glory which I refer to "way too long moment of boredom" really needs to go" Tactical aspect of the game, players should know how to counter (hold, disorient, spike, +ToHit, or wait) "running mobs, really is this needed at all?" Tactical aspect of the game, players should know how to counter. (immob, stun, hold, slow, taunt, knock, teaming, ranged attacks, and on & on)

Just slipped that in to see who's paying attention.

The Edward Norton one with Liv Tyler and Tim Roth? I really wanted to like it more but just didn't, which is okay.

I am looking forward to seeing Brave New World today (before it exits the theater Thursday). My expectations are tempered and I am hoping there are only a few in attendance. While you are asking Battlewraith, I'll chime in with The Incredible Hulk (2008) was my least favorite. I 100% agree with your solid point; phase one and two were full of pretty good can't miss stuff. Even phase three. Consumers might need to get acclimated to a reality where these settle at certain level with the occasional big hit. Not everyone is going to like Deadpool or Dr Strange and thats okay.

@Ghost That's the way I'm leaning,.. while not committing. I went with picking one of each franchise rather than say multiple Captain Americas.

Work in progress and in no particular order. Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Avengers: Endgame (2019) Black Panther (2018) Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Iron Man (2008) Captain Marvel (2019) Ant-Man (2015) Ant-Man knocked Black Widow out of the top 10. Could easily list multiple Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Avengers, Guardians, Thor, etc. movies.

Rankings.. ughh Having seen a number of the debates and disagreeing with some know narcissists, it made sense to go take a look at popular opinion. I was curious to see where my preference might diverge. (if the word narcissist above triggered you it wasn't meant to, but.. ) 22 connected movies climaxed with Avengers: Endgame. That is just crazy. I'd really like to pick a favorite and realize I might be able to pick five or six or twelve. (Dang it's a big list!) Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Avengers, Deadpool, holy crap that's a lot of awesomeness. That said; Edward Norton's 2008 'The Incredible Hulk' is on the list below, so there may be some.. I don't want to say 'stinkers', let's go with 'less than hoped for'. Rotten Tomatoes Editorial (link) (that would have been a great rickroll but I didn't). Black Panther (2018) Avengers: Endgame (2019) Iron Man (2008) Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Marvel's the Avengers (2012) Captain America: Civil War (2016) Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Doctor Strange (2016) Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018) Avengers: Infinity War (2018) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) Ant-Man (2015) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Captain Marvel (2019) Black Widow (2021) Iron Man 3 (2013) Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Thor (2011) Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) Iron Man 2 (2010) Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) The Incredible Hulk (2008) Thor: The Dark World (2013) Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) The Marvels (2023) Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Eternals (2021) Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Phases of the MCU movies: Another List: https://screenrant.com/marvel-movies-mcu-ranked-best-worst/

Lots of places do. With such a high return on investment the incentives are good government. "The British Film Institute studies how effective these incentives are for the people of the United Kingdom, showing that for every dollar film companies receive in tax incentives, they spend $10 in the country. At a 10 times return, the UK government receives on its investment in films and television. In 2019, the UK government estimates that filming created more than 40,000 jobs in the country. So, the benefits come not just from the spending but also from the taxes these new employees pay to the government."

Oh geez. not everything is manipulated or cherry picked. I just happened to parse part of a list for the newer movies (see below) and then individually looked up the movies at boxofficemojo.com @biostem I think that Disney / Lucasfilm was half cash and half stock. @PeregrineFalcon The story below makes it sound like Disney earned the investment back. That's why I'm asking if I missed something. I'll look at the video linked by ShardWarrior.

Correct me if I am completely wrong, which ones were meh? Star Wars: Episode 7 - The Force Awakens (2015) ($2,071,310,218) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) ($1,058,684,742) Star Wars: Episode 8 - The Last Jedi (2017) ($1,334,407,706) Star Wars: Episode 9 - The Rise of Skywalker (2019) ($1,077,022,372) I want to understand where you are coming from because, to me, it doesn't look like they are losing money. (I went to Galaxy's Edge and it was amazingly lavish, treat yourself if you haven't gone) Maybe I am naive here, but boards tend to be steady and forward looking. The Kennedy move looks like succession planning. Is it that she has dirt on someone, or has been more consistent and successful than almost everyone sans a handful. "Kennedy has produced films which have earned over $11 billion worldwide, including five of the fifty highest-grossing movies in film history. As a producer, she has received eight Best Picture Academy Award nominations."

Hasten is an active power. It can help teach players about recharge, chasing perma, timers, blinking icons, and endurance management. In my opinion: Only after tackling endurance is a permanent Hasten more beneficial to a character than keeping their toggles up. New characters learn lessons from how some of the powers work. Sure, if we skip to 50 with each new character the preceding statement becomes less relevant. Making Hasten a toggle or inherent could be a bit more complicated than it may appear at first blush. Possible, sure!
