Both in and out. In universe, "Captain America" is more of a propaganda piece than a person, at least to the governmental and military folks who claim authority over the brand. Out of universe, well he's just popular and iconic, though I think what most people are really clamoring for is more Steve Rogers. What would be interesting is to see how audiences would react to another actor playing Steve Rogers as Captain America. Do they really want more Captain America, Steve Rogers as Captain America, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers as someone other than Captain America (like Nomad), or just Chris Evans as Steve Rogers as Captain America? I'd like to see a "flashback" Avengers movie (maybe under the Marvel Special Presentation or something on D+) where we have an Avengers story focused on the primary 6 (or at east the primary 4 with superpowers, Cap, Thor, Iron Man, & Hulk) getting minds and bodies swapped by some enemy, and having to show the various actors playing as different supers, see who does what well, and who does what poorly... Chris Evans as Hulk, Mark Ruffalo as Thor, Robert Downey Jr. as Captain America, and Chris Hemsworth as Iron Man for instance. They keep their original personalities, but have the other's powers and skills.

So, this movie had some really cool stuff in it, but I was disappointed overall. I just don't like Falcon America as a character. Falcon who a complete superhero all on his own without getting morphed into a hybrid. Now the hybrid is something lesser than the sum of it's parts, even if it is technically more powerful. Most of the film was 'ok' but really fell short of what it should have been, for all the time and money invested in it. The only part that truly stood out to me as 'great' was the guys sitting in the limo like they're on their way to prom, pumping up Bradley to make him feel better about going to the event. More heart in those couple minutes than the whole rest of the movie combined.

The only time I see anything get particularly NSFW it tends to be in /General more than everything else combined (most often when the topics of politics or religion come up). If people are talking in public channels of Pocket D, it's about events, AE missions, or iTrials.

So for today's update, Feb 14, you have a small Typo... *Entrusted dotting i's and crossing t's and the like...

That's neat, but I was referring to the name display over a character's head, not the chatbox.

The difference between military RANK and game LEVEL is that upon gaining a promotion, someone in the military doesn't have their accuracy or durability automatically increase. It is absolutely not the same thing. Similarly, JOB TITLE LEVEL 3 does not make you more competent at your job description than you were at JOB TITLE LEVEL 2. Hopefully, the title was awarded upon proof of increased competence or dependability, but it might also just mean having the right cousin, or blackmail photos. Either way, the back and forth is gaining nobody anything, unless the desire is to teach me I should shut up and stay off the boards.

It's not just the expense of the enhancements themselves, but so little time is spent between 1-22, it's often pointless to do more than throw some DO acc in the attack powers before you reach worthwhile IO levels. But yeah, I agree, something "alternative" is better than merely "better"

I'd like if we had an option to color our character names, say using the same interface as we use for chat channels and titles. A lot of folks use help setting to alter their character name color (I've done so myself) but it puts a Helper, Help Me, or Roleplaying tag on the character that may not actually be relevant. Having the option to edit name colors without that would likely eliminate many inappropriately used tags, and also allow things like coordinating the color of a character name with an outfit or increasing/decreasing visibility (what I expect f often the intended purpose currently) Obviously, team and league membership would still take precedence as they currently do.

There's quite a few brooches I would use by themselves for some costumes if it was an option.

Something I'd love to see would be a SG setting to allow a member's entire @Global roster to share their member character's access/permissions. That would prevent much of the need for roster size increase and probably the need for a lot of coalitions too. Even without that, having a character's @Global handle be listed on the Supergroup window would be nice.

The problem here is that it's not long before most characters are using IOs exclusively anyway. Before committing the development resources to altering dropped enhancements, we'd need them to be more useful than IOs. which of course would undermine the existence of IOs. I think what I'd find most useful is a "setting" in START or with Null to automatically "sell" loot enhancements (convert directly to sale price inf upon receipt), and just never deal with them again from that point forward. I suppose another direction, which might make origins feel relevant again, would be to make Origin-specific IOs with some themed bonus. That also seems more complicated than I want to think about now though.

"Levels" are an illusion. They are a game tool, not something that should be considered by lore or descriptive environment. What level are you? What level is your mom? What level is the dog next door? What level is the bouncer at that club? Whether Superman is level 1 or 50, thugs are gray to him. Bullets are meaningless. But some chump with a Lexcorps Kryptonite Laser (Quantum Blaster) might ruin his day. Whether Batman is level 1 or level 50, a rough encounter with a SWAT guy might leave him with a dislocated shoulder and cracked ribs, or he might wrestle literal gods and win. And yet, these two beings are still on par with each other.

I do hope this is just an oversight that will be corrected, but the new Spring auras seem to be missing from Soldiers of Arachnos.

That is the standard of dissent we should all strive for 🙂

So in reference to the NeoTokyo thing, I have a (truncated) copy of some suggestions regarding this from the old Live boards. This may or may not be of interest 🙂
