    Nosferatu

    I enjoyed it quite a lot! Spoiler alert. Do not read past this --------------------------- I thought the film truly captured the original vision. It is my belief that almost every aspect of the film echoed the time, style, and themes of "Nosferatu." Which, in my mind, might have opened the work to some criticism. I am no Karen, nor do I jog under the banner of political correctness. You folks mostly know me. Yet, in my opinion, the film echoed the nineteenth century's attitudes toward women slightly too well. Yes! to capturing that time on film accurately. Perhaps? No? to actually echoing the logic in the film somewhat. It seemed to me (just from 1 viewing, YMMV) that it could be that Ellen Hutter's "coming of age" was the cause of this evil released into the world. And from the film's themes that could easily be taken to mean her sexuality ( just blatantly itself, and also it's threat to male patriarchy ) was to blame for her reaching out to ... something not good. Also, I found the final act treatment quite good, but also ... wanting. It would have been better (in my mind) if it was more explicitly stated how the final trap was sprung and that Ellen knew exactly what she was doing and the cost. It worked, but in my mind it could have been tuned to quite a better pitch for much more resonance. These are my thoughts only. I have not read any reviews and have only watched the piece once. So far...
  2. now you are just getting flirty that would be epic!
  3. you're forgiven. i did not read most of it. i did zero in on the fact you are moderately against the option. i thank you for your honest opinion. you do realize that the KB-->KD thing is already in the game? of course you do. and that players already hate Knockback? hmmm mmm. ok, just some thoughts.
  4. she didn't take crap from nobody either....
  5. hear me out. Homecoming offers 1000 character slots. per server. we brought in a small (but dedicated) group to Homecoming. We made them feel welcome. on their world, their terms. maybe, just maybe, some will make toons on high pop servers. is there a reason we need to FORCE them to do it?
  6. Victory is Homecoming. pretty sure that was a stalemate move.
  7. maybe you are sincere. but i find posts like this, and the one you quoted, disingenuous. i want an energy blaster, with that "look" and those powers. not Rad blast, with different powers and an entirely different "look" recolored blue and red. i just do not want knockback, and i do not want to pay a 1 slot tax on every power. but my concept gets the "tough crap" treatment, whereas your two concepts are apparently "sacred" even though the change i suggested would affect you.... not in the damn least.
  8. Cold Dom gets Benumb and Heat Loss. These are VERY powerful and sought after by teams/leaguers doing upper end content. They will help you clear tough bosses satisfactorily.
  9. ehhh..... meh. i have trained in art. painting and such. don't worry, i suck and do not inflict my "projects" on the masses. this is nice... but.... meh. the actual differences will be minimal. if we were using a 8 color box of crayons and moving to an "infinite" box, that would be something. but we are using closer to a 64 or larger. and the more you have the less difference iy makes.
  10. being able to defeat foes is why most people game. okay, most introverts. there are costume contests, social groups, yada yada. but.... it is a murder hobos world. yes, knockback is really cool. AND almost always makes everyone's life (including the user) much more difficult. have falling damage (how far knocked back = KBxrange extra damage) then we can talk. otherwise it is a true crap mitigation tactic that looks cool. yes, i know i am not converting that Dev to my way of thinking. but i do not try to convince idiots. waste of my damn time. knockback is bad, m'kay? it slows the game down AND reduces the fun of anyone who is not doing the knockback. everyone knows it. will i convince someone with the "truth and justice" on their side (and the power gripped tightly in a sweaty fist) no. will not stop me from pointing out the stupidity of it all from time to time.
  11. i got Snarky. now if i only had time to game...sigh lol
  12. I thought so. Which means the large square portion is probably a “piece” of map that is used, however rarely, for certain missions. As we know most of the caves and interiors are not whole maps. They are built lego style from bits the devs have on a shelf.
  13. Here is the thing. Some, never all, of the players on those “low pop” servers…. Love it. It is no doubt impossible. As our team up app is, in my opinion, one of the worst out there. But if we could queue up for teams cross server that would be a decent solution. WoW does this for low pop shards. It works moderately well. Of course then we would need a way to read who is queuing for what otherwise it would sputter and falter. And, of course, a cross server global channel to organize…. Well, that was a nice 5 min daydream 😆
  14. This adds players from another platform that was independent from homecoming. reading is fundamental. ….. you did not read this did you?
  15. It is the first response to this thread. But, as i so eloquently pointed out, the reasons are basically 1) i like KB 2) people shouldnt want to kill 3) no one is happy anyways. It is a Dev post worthy of a 14 year old on a pepsi buzz. 🐝
  16. It is not common. But it is not “new” curious how much redside you do? Have you encountered the “arachnos reactor room”. Maybe 20 stories tall interior room?
  17. No i read it. It was ignorance in a pie crust. Unheated. the dev likes the “feel” of knockback killspeed should be looked at… somewhere else if they “fix” knockback anyone who uses knockback will be unloved. 1) knockback is cool 2) we are murder hobos. How you going to fix that? 3) people that use Knockback were in the past, are now, and will forever be unloved just a shit sandwich of drivel and stupidity. thanks for asking
  18. Any new sets are a great idea in my opinion
  19. have you considered Willpower? i am serious, runs great on SOs.
  20. i agree, although at this point we are dogs begging for scraps. anything, just drop anything from the table up there!
  21. energy blast is so pretty. and, besides (like everyone) doing less damage than Fire, pays a 1 slot penalty on every power... so does less DPS than any other Blast set in game.
  22. i struggle wuth this a lot across various powersets and ATs. "Dark" and "black" are not consistent. some turn the area around your character inky splorch, while others do shades of grey. many "Dark" powers are actually colored with blues and purples. not to mention most "orig" power colors are 3-4 color mixes, then when you option to bright or dark you get 2.
