  1. All I have are silly positions that are more or less designed to instigate discussion. Of late I have seen people I truly despise get their comeuppance in the me too era. Good riddance. Especially funny if they go broke or get prison time. I have seen people I truly think are remarkably talented seem to go a little off the rails. (John Cleese....Do you have a publicist? A PR person...get one!) I have seen people I really enjoy as performers just get knocked loopy. Bill Murray. Sigh. You gotta know I love this performer. Personally, while I think (and my opinion is valueless) that he has some boundary issues I still believe he is a good guy. A great guy even. i know from hanging out with Ukase that he is not misogynistic. There is a woman lawyer who is part of his regular weekly group! Anyone can think something in their head and have it come out wrong when they say it. In their head they know they mean no offense. I think this may have sounded a bit flat on the old music scale. If anyone here is always perfect now is the time to get those big rocks and start warming up.
  2. How dare you infer all god forsaken boomers are sexist? Where the F do you get off? If you do not know I can tell you...
  3. Given the technical difficulties AND the time crunch AND the fact that (sigh) most people will want them and the badges…. I agree (not that my opinion counts for much) with the decision to drop the things on live. Hard call but good call
  4. looks like my baby pic
  5. Wait, ....is this the green attorney?
  6. I was told once how many social connections a human brain can handle. I forget the exact number, but it is not a lot. I want to say in the 700-800 range? That data has long slipped into "never going to be tested on it" storage. My point in bringing this up is that this forum is a world. Not the "real" world. Not the "game world" It is an not quite enclosed community. With noisy neighbors. Trash collectors. Scavengers. Thieves. Police. Teachers. Bus drivers. Poets. Philosophers. Experts. Sometimes a thief will be a poet....when they are not fulfilling their duties as a cop.... The world is not what you make it. It is what WE make it. Humanity's greatest and most terrible power. Yes, that sometimes means a battlefield too.
  7. Well then Mistuh advertising exec you is missing da point. If you do not like the new 50....reroll it the next time a token is available. Hey! In TWO WEEKS! Bazinga!
  8. It was envisioned (i suppose) as a way to keep a super team balanced as they progressed through content but allow for some individual romping off to do whatever when their friend was not on. In practice it was a farm method and it has broken everything everywhere everytime it was used
  9. A Leveling Pact is a feature introduced in Issue 13 (and disabled in Issue 21 after changes to the Sidekick system had reduced the need for it) and an innovation to MMORPGs; this system allows two players to create new characters (or use existing low-level characters) and have their experience be permanently synced, whether or not both characters are online. They will always be the same level, even if one pactmate plays ten times more often than the other.
  10. They were Levelling pacts.
  11. There is a note at the beginning of the thread that these EBs are only supposed to trigger for teams. They were unable to complete that coding in time for the event. It is on the schedule for next year
  12. Dark Dark knows what it's done... Seriously though. Taking as a pairing it is a grab bag of crap that has zero synergy. As stated above, Touch of the Beyond is one of the worst sustains in Blasters. Soul Drain is the worst build up in Blasters. Taken together the mix of PBAoE, cones, and variation in ranges makes it lopsided to try to find where you are supposed to run combat from. You have a damage aura. But you need to keep moving to line up cones. the ranges on your ST are all different, and different from your cones. Dark Pit is useless in the modern game, and a damned expensive useless thing at that. Half this crap isnt even worth taking to mule stuff on a build. The entire thing is a shit show. If you take it for anything besides a Dark concept toon you will be miserable. On a Dark concept toon you will be happy with the concept and feel like you have sandpaper underwear and nails in your shoes each combat. It is an uncomfortable mess.
  13. Not for years. But my SG runs some casual stuff once or twice a week
  14. Probably 25-30 unless you got it on sale. 4 pieces and a base
  15. mostly going back to soloing old content. really not liking everyone wanting to do +4/x8 speedrun of hardmode new content and expecting me to be at the missions end 2 min after the mish is posted.
  16. They are completely revising opportunity and the Sentinel damage scale. Go to Sentinel forum for a peek. Go to Beta (right i never go there) to try it out
  17. I played a bit this weekend. The one thing that struck me? EVERYONE was playing on hyper speed run mode. If you take 3 min to get to mission objectives (from time mission is posted to team) you may as well just fight mobs at the door. In the mission or out would not matter much. Pretty much no thanks for me. I am mostly done. I will putz around on some solo stuff and run some content with my SG friends. I have no interest in racing through buildings like my meth dealer is at the end of it with free product. Never why I played the game. This is what people want. That is okay. I also think most people (not all but a lot) do actually want EBs in the ToT event. Probably more if they could crank it to eleven. I am an old vampire. Sigh. Time to go write. I am so old I prefer to do that on pen and paper even. But I do make allowances for possibly needing revisions and maybe sending to an editor so it goes on a comp. Sigh. So dam old
  18. A re-vamp (pun intended) of Dark Dark Blast do it looks like it actually works in a game. Any game. Cause this version is a car with three wheels and an emergency spare. Then one of the remaining tires has loose lugs, the suspension is shot and it appears there is something in the trunk that should have went to compost a few months ago
  19. I never liked fire. Maybe its the vamp thing lol
  20. I ran Super Strength for years on Live. My first 6 months back here was on a SS Brute. I follow SS threads pretty regularly. You have to climb a tall mountain to create a worse suggestion for a SS change than most. But you HAVE DONE IT. THIS SUCKS LIKE A JET ENGINE
  21. Wait a minute...
  22. It is a Nemesis plot.
  23. I am crazy, not unreasonable. This would knock off half the work and still, as you say, address many concerns raised upthread. Honestly I did not put this in suggestions originally because I believe it has all the chances of a sailboat in a hurricane. It was meant as sarcasm and I really think Widower took the entire thread too seriously. But here we are. There was a great idea about recycling 50s (which the OP deleted) with a memorable character walk to a "totally not the suicide" booth
  24. Noooooo It is a Plea! (And I HATE having my crap moved)
