  1. Damn, was just coming here to post something similar

    The Battalion - what the hell do they look like? We've spent a godawful amount of time gearing up for their arrival (one which will now sadly never be) there has to be some art assets of them, I want to see them dammit.

    Incarnate slots - though probably nowhere near final I'd like to know what the general plan was for the rest

    New powers - one thing I've loved since F2P is the sheer amount of new powersets, what were the plans beyond the leaked ones? New power pools per orgin etc...?
  2. Oddly enough my first toon was my namesake. still play him to this day (just got him all 4th tier incarnate ) 8 Ball - Kinetics/Energy Defender, from way back before anyone knew what the hell Kinetics even did.

  3. Don't get me wrong here because I love those chainsaws (seriously, day 1 purchase for me) but there's a little nagging annoyance with the Dual blade version



    For the sake of symmetry can the sword in the characters left hand be flipped around so the main box unit faces out as it does on the right hand? It just looks somewhat awkward as is .
  4. Awsome, thanks

    - For anyone having issues make sure it's for the right region, was getting the "This code is valid but cannot be used on your account" for a while before I realized I copied a EU code.
  5. "Justice League of America is now the third title at DC under the Justice League umbrella, joining Justice League Dark and Justice League. Fans can expect all of these titles to crossover eventually, but we don’t know in what capacity as of yet.
    "

    Haven't been following the New DC for a while now...only 2 current JL titles, did international get cancelled? Read the first few any they were awful so I wouldn't be shocked...

    JLA sounds pretty damned awful as well.
  6. I just hope there's a box set of the movies available with those covers without having to spend the extra insane amount of cash on the Suitcase etc...
  7. Honestly the only trial that's a pain with my MM is LAM (damn near impossible actually so I usually just unsummon my Bots until the end or avoid the trial altogether) a TPN requires some fast commands (numpad bind helps a lot here) to switch them to passive for outdoors but other than that I really don't see the problem...in fact on a Baf/UG/DD/MoM & Magi I watch mobs melt in front of my firepower
  8. To anyone that hasn't seen First Class yet, go rent it....Now, easily ranks near the top of X Men movies for me (X2 is still tops) went in with low expectations and was very surprised how good it was. I have no issues trusting the same team to do a 2nd one.

    It's not bad, though I find it's a bit overhyped.

    I honestly thought this was a pretty good list put together by the IGN folks for the Batman fanatics:

    The 25 greatest batman graphic novels

    And once you get into Superman for a bit check out Red son, great story.

    Outside of Marvel/DC I've been reading The authority Loved it up until V4 or so, gets a little tired around then

    Also any of the Astro city volumes/series are a great read.

  12. I'm a huge fan of the book but the more I hear about this movie the more I think it's going to be a train wreck.

    It was, NC soft removed it when it went F2P, Steam (I think) takes a portion of all micro trasactions on the F2P games it hosts.
  14. Well, it gets points for Felicia in a Lara croft outfit at least .
  15. Awsome, this movie is still a guilty pleasure of mine.

    Agreed on the helmet...still dislike it, I'm aware it's probably a lot more accurate to how a functional helmet would appear but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it :P.

    Oddly enough the Helmets were one of the few things I thought the first movie did alright with.
  17. As a huge fan of the book (seriously, read it three times sofar) this has me very wary of the movie. And agreed, this would have been much better as one season mini-series or so.
  18. Had I been old enough (was only 4 at the time ) that would have made one damned awsome summer at the movies.
  19. My First memory of Bradbury was a TV version of All Summer in a day That I watched in grade school...still a story that pulls at my heartstrings. RIP Mr. Bradbury.
  20. Trial is just too front laoded with iXP, as I've heard suggested elsewhere we should be fighting a few token IDP, then the three AV's, then get the 250, then Swan etc...would probably ease up on the farms a bit (not that I hate them, helluva lot quicker than full runs to unlock Hybrid)

    Alternatively they could make the Hybrid unlock require the trial completion badge, have the XP sit at 99% until it's done etc...though I personally hate this idea.

    Very much agreed, taking my MM out on most of the trials is an exercise in extreme frustration (fix the damned "Charge the AV" Pet AI bug already!). Won't even bother with LAM's anymore on him.
  22. Hell...it's hard to get on a full run now, they're all farms..Not that I'm complaining mind you, unlocked Hybrid on two characters in less than an hour on farms (12 league members) on full trial 24 man runs it would have taken 2/3 times as long. Very broken reward system IMO.
  23. Still think this trial shouldn't have been put to live yet, still very buggy.

    On a side note I lose all my costume auras after leaving a Mag trial, have to relog to get them back, anyone else?
  24. Not a clue what you're talking about...got a Pic?

    I also have a small stable of characters in the 40s which will just add to my number of non-Incarnates.

    So to me, the timing of this latest iTrial is a non-issue.
    Run 4-5 Baf's & LAM's, you're not useless for all that long, just follow the crowds and shoot at whatever they do (and listen to league chat) most of these trials have a whole bunch of +3 incarnates that do most of the work anyhoo . And if you're support oriented it doesn't matter how newbie you are.
