    No, because they weren't really arcs.

    And they sucked.
  2. Necktie used as a headband?

    Poseur!
  3. Now, see, if it were up to me, and I had the artistic talent, I'd match each Avenger with one of Gaga's iconic looks and maybe have them fire off their powers in a blend of the 'look' with their real power; or, I'd team them up in a dance routine that becomes a fight, and thus, a Bad Romance.
  4. 2 people apparently don't like fun.

    Thumbs up if you have a computer!

    Because the power in question is flagged to only affect 16 targets according to 'real numbers.'

    Now, I've seen such caps be ignored by the real mechanics and the 'real numbers' are wrong. I've also seen the 'real numbers' be correct and the Devs made a boo boo.

    There is:
    1. what it's supposed to do (Dev intention)
    2. what it's reported to do by real numbers (a reporting system created by the devs so players can see the mechanics)
    3. and what it actually does (as per player testing... done correctly)
    There have been, at times, one one, two, or all three things were not correct.

    In this case:
    1. It's supposed to affect all players and their pets
    2. It has a 16 target cap.
    3. Who knows? Player testing has been all over the map.

    Thanks for asking!
    Please report to your queen that she is indeed mightily merciful and beneficent and she has our gratitude.
  7. Out of curiosity, how are the solo-only players doing Incarnate-wise? Everything unlocked yet? +3? T4s yet?

  9. Quiet, all of you.

    If you make a fuss, the Devs might give all groups the AI of Scrapyarders who do scatter and ambush correctly. <shudder>
  10. I just don't understand the YouTube zeitgeist of taking completely unrelated video and soundtrack and putting them together (or, in this case, characters from a movie animated to an unrelated song). I mean, it's a nice video, but any set of characters could have equally fit. Actually, characters from a movie where there were bad romances would have fit. But it's like:

    Here's the space dogfight scene from Star Wars with Sound of Music's "Lonely Goatherd."

    Here's Buffy and Angel's love scene to the Beatles's "Yellow Submarine."

    Here's any scene from Harry Potter to a song picked by the roll of a d100.


    I mean, if there was some connection from the visual to the soundtrack, it would make sense. But I just don't get it.

    Also, it ticks the heck out of me when I'm searching for the actual unadulterated clip of a video and I get a thousand hits of nonsensically dubbed over visuals. (And don't get me started on all the false hits that come from brain dead 'response videos.')

    Ah, thanks for the explo.

    I wonder if 3D prices are inflating the adjusted gross. Because there are the 2D prices and the bumped-up 3D prices. Even if both are adjusted for inflation, the 3D prices still bring in more money per head.
  13. Tyrant does have a heal... it's a dark heal that when it hits those in melee range, they get hit with a -ToHit and he gets healed.

    So, it's actually living characters that are healing him... if it hits at all. Look for the Power of Tartarus debuff icon.
  14. The problem may be that Notice of the Well, while it has a 5000 foot radius (sphere) and it definitely meant to be zone-wide, only has a target cap of 16. WAI or OOPS?
  15. Notice of the Well is a spherical effect with radius of 5,000 feet. It has a 16 target cap.

    Funny you should mention Gone With the Wind: Box office adjusted for inflation. Avengers is #35. For now.

    I guess that's where we disagree. If they had no intention of changing their mind no matter what was said, that's not listening, in my opinion. That's reading the comments and summarily disregarding them.
    Why, yes. I do indeed hear negativity.

    More shenanigans. Just because they didn't give you what you wanted doesn't mean they didn't consider it. You don't know for a fact what they did and didn't consider it. So called 'point blank' refusals doesn't mean that in turning down your request, they didn't give it due consideration.

    Sorry, you're only going to get the usual suspects to jump on this rabble rousing bandwagon of "the devs are mean because they didn't do it my way" pout party. Those of us who've followed along know better. We've seen the devs in question come back to players several times and adapt along the way. We know they gave due consideration.

    In other words: They listened.

    There is plenty of stuff the Devs have said 'no' to me about. But I know they listened.

    Maybe they could trademark a spinning version.

    That is why I allow a second or third Tanker on a team.

    I'm calling shenanigans on that one. You know perfectly well that that amount of End usage can't be taken on by the vast majority of builds without substantial adjustment.

    Also, if I recall the thread in beta, many, many people were perfectly fine with reduced power for constant use. It was the devs that decreed that they wanted a 'cooldown' type effect to the power.
    Right. As I said before, the devs listened to feedback and made a decision. That doesn't mean they took a poll and majority won. And that's a separate issue from "not working as promised." No one was promised always-on toggle or auto power at that level of power, nor an always-on toggle or auto power at a lower level of power. It was thrown out as an option. It was discussed. And a decision made. It's fine not to like it. It's not true to say were were duped or the devs didn't listen.
  22. The Match Game curse strikes again!

    So... just like these forums, but you can cuss. Well worth the effort.
