I do not believe any of the existing maps should be changed or altered in any way. Legacy maps and missions are good learning experiences for those who wish to and it's not just about learning how to play it's learning the history of the game's development over more than two decades. To change or alter some of the maps is to cheapen its legacy. It's not too different to making Independence Port smaller to get across it more easily. The game is the game. Add to it, sure, but retrofitting it for modern tastes is a big No-No in my book. That's not just a "We had to do it so you should too" but it is "this is the experience that made the game great and why enough people fell in love with it to keep it alive against the odds. Nobody really hates the blue cake cave. They love it really - because it's a great memory. We remember the annoying stuff more than the easy stuff. That's human nature. Advocating for change can be extremely dangerous in unanticipated ways and this is, ultimately, just a game so let's keep those annoying things in because they are few and far between and give us amazing stories to tell which is why we fell in love with this whole thing in the first place.

The worst room in the game is the one you couldn't get into while the game was shut down. There are precisely zero worst rooms in this game in its current iteration.

I'm not @Snarky in any way, shape, size or form. 😎 I have never been @Snarky

If all AoEs are spherical that's just a load of balls! Interesting idea. I presumed they were tubular but if a sphere then somebody hovering at the edge might get missed simply because they are outside of it but look inside
-
we know and can see the radii of our various AoEs, but I wonder how high they reach. I noticed I had a mob above me on a landing and they hadn't noticed me so I popped Ice Storm down on me and it failed to touch them. I was vaguely surprised. Hence the question. You'd think that shards of ice falling from the sky would hurt almost all the way down...

For me it's the one that @Snarky is in!

I miss the old Sleep powers already

Usually you end up with a jack of all trades that can't do anything especially well. Personally I think we're forced to take too many powers as it is. I understand what you're saying but when you have 18 main powers and then at least 6 pool powers, you get too many choices. It is probably easier for well-seasoned veterans to know what to choose, once they've mastered a specific AT, but for a newer player they would have no clue and we have seen how taking the wrong powers and/or mismanaging them through ignorance turns them off the game which is a bad thing. If perhaps we had say 12 main powers and we could specialise in 6, then add pool powers we might find greater diversity but with 18 powers, some of which are specifically designed to be of greater power, it's hard to say we increase diversity. I understand where you're coming from but in practice I don't think it actually is the case. -
I'd choose Chloe Grace Moritz as Scarlet Shocker and Karen Gillan as Invincible Woman

Help with switchblade bug wings?

Dual Blades/Super Reflex brue but he's flightless currently -
a new kind of superhero movie and your main is the shining light in the story. Who plays your main character on the silver screen?

Scarlet Shocker replied to Speed Freak's topic in General Discussion
The Switchblade Bug sounds like a very interesting insectoid villain with dual blades! -
How much content do we have, anyway?
Scarlet Shocker replied to Bionic_Flea's topic in General Discussion
Ample, but never enough! -
Apparently Nicholas Hammond had an uncredited cameo in Spider-Man 2

The name's Villeneuve, Denis Villeneuve

A few years back I did see someone suggest Chris Hemsworth which isn't the worst choice ever I'm very sad for recent Bond developments. I suspect we'll get a flop movie followed by a cashcow Amazon Prime TV series. I have little faith that the new owners will serve Bond well, but then I think the Broccolli family didn't always do great. Craig's outing promised so much with Casino Royale but it tailed off rapidly after that with some bright points along the way. I think one of the big challenges the new production will have to have is to make it feel fresh and distinct compared to all that's gone before which for a 65 year old franchise will be a challenge. I've often thought perhaps they might do a much more noir and book-faithful rendition, shot in black & white, set in the late 50s and retelling the stories in the books. Badge it as "Ian Fleming's James Bond" and you have a handy little franchise reboot that keeps the punters coming in and can still get original mileage out of it. -
Ok... you may be right https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_(1977_film) Seems you got a TV series, we just got a crap movie

I've always been an avid Marvel fan since my surrogate gran bought me a shittonne of British Marvel reprints in about 1969 and helped me learn to read with them. They were basically black and white with a colour wash, blue for FF, red for Spidey, green for Hulk... but I was hooked. They were the modern Greek and Norse legends in a contemporary setting. I've picked comics periodically since then but never really got DC. I love a few indie books, Watchmen, Maus, V for Vendetta, Y the last Man and of course Powers... as well as Hellboy etc but I'm really out of touch these days. I last bought stuff regularly about 24 years ago, Marvel Knights, stuff like that. If I were to pick up again, where should I begin. Like I say, Marvel and indie stuff please. No real interest in DC.

There was a Spiderman movie... came out on general release back in about 1975ish... it was weird, set in LA and the fx were very sub par even for then.

Yes, yes you are. And I'm also free to tell you that in expressing those opinions you have a very limited understanding of this game and that you are also now blocked. Tara a bit

This is the game. Don't like the game? Don't play it. You're arguing for something almost nobody else agrees with nor thinks necessary. You're complaining because you can't actually be arsed to learn how to play the game. This is not the fault of anyone other than yourself. If, once you know and understand the game mechanics, you have a legitimate criticism of the game, sure you might want to make a point but right now you're just spouting utter bollocks mate.

Alternatively, you could simply learn how to play the game. That would solve all those problems far more effectively.

I rewatched GotG the other night and I like Ronan as one of the most interesting adversaries in the MCU. I love his outfit and it occurred to me that his hammer (and head gear) would be great for the CC... his hammer would work well in War Mace and in Titan Weapons. I don't know if it's feasible but I'd love something similar to this
