    Again, isn't ignoring logic and refusing to examine your own thoughts the mark of a lazy mind?

    How boring it must be to always believe you're right as well

    How you can even argue that is insane.

    Even in a game where you can expressly increase the length on a chararacters arms, it looks like utter garbage.

    In City of Heroes where you can't even increase arm length, it looks absolutely ridiculous.

    The skeleton is not made to move like that.

    I have no problem with animal toons, heck I play two, but unless they build a beastial skeleton (Longer spine, longer arms, shorter legs etc) the beastial run looks sloppy and slipshod.
    It's coming. Either accept it and move on or start playing another game

    The art style of the cities themselves are wonderful

    Regarding the look of the PCs and NPCs? Bad!

    That's what all of these constant 'opinions' about the new WST amount to IMO. The cries of martyrs.

    The WST vs. WTF thing also goes along way to showing me the maturity level of the posters on the topic as well.

    Nalrok_AthZim, thanks for being rational.
    The world you live in must be marvelous!

    Anyone who disagrees with you is automatically wrong and somehow deficient as a human being

    Just lovely

    I tried to run the STF earlier, but we failed in our attempt

    But a purple recipe dropped and I sold it for 450 mil

    So now I can really afford to twink out my lowbie animal toons when that pack hits!

    I can't spell easily, having dyslexia, so forgive my minor mangling of the language. We both knew exactly what I was trying to say

    Unless you can use a red pen and grade me here on these boards, it just doesn't matter

    Also:


    To all of you out there of the furry persuasion, do whatever you want; just don't involve me in it. And please do not assume that just because my one character is a were-wolverine that I wish to discuss matters pertaining to his sexual activities. I do not. I just think wolverines are pretty bad-***.
    Stay out of Virtue's Pocket D and you'll be fine

    Why assume that someone with an anamorphic toon is a pervert?

    Also could you link me to the sub numbers for both these games?
    That other game is not good. You'll fail in finding entertainment that way

    and this is coming from someone who feels pretty much the same way you do

    Interesting my good sir, but they can still go back and fix the content if needed and as we've seen, they have gone back by "revamping" things.
    Please, tell me how well their revamping PvP has gone over with the fan base. After they revamped the AE system it must be super crowded in that squarish building. Oh, it's not?

    I think the development team is shooting about 50% when it comes to revamps. Not that good

    What's more, every time a new game is launched, it allows me to judge who was right and who was wrong in retrospect on a wide variety of ideas. It also provides a source of entertainment when I compare what some people say is important to do, and what turns out to be disastrous in practice. CO alone would have been worth a half-dozen Cracked articles if I was allowed to write them.
    Again, I was commenting specifically on this game. Basing my judgement of the Incarnate system, as it has been revealed so far, on the fact that even the latest of trials added to the game go unattended.

    "Calling" TFs is cludgey and won't lead to masses of players following the call after a certain amount of time has passed. Unless they revamp all the TFs the same way they did Positron, then it seems fairly well doomed unless they "Call" the ITF and LGTF every other week

    But seriously, which part of it is an excuse? unless you think keeping 100,000 people happy is fairly easy. As it's been said around here more than once,"people will complain about anything."
    sorry about the typo, I'll correct it and note that I can't spell. Again

    The excuse is that the whole "Obvious choice" thing is a personal opinion. If different people see different things as being "Obvious", then they're all wrong? Everything is a disaster?

    Keeping 100k players happy is not easy. But spending 3 years developing content that's probably going to end up being lightly used is still a bad development decision. Try thinking about that for a while

    Players will not be leaving. We all agree on that point. But I don't see how this content has the same kind of replay potential as the rest of the game. Unused content is still wasted development time

    There's also the fact that after 25 years of dictatorship, an entire generation exists who haven't been given a say on how they're governed - they're enslaved by a dictatorship that their parents and grandparents voted for.
    You mean how like the society we live in here in the USA is still enslaved to the ideaology of a charismatic leader who was elected 31 years ago?

    But for me, it comes down to this: if you want to shake up Spider-Man by killing Gwen Stacy, you're a genius. If you want to shake up Spider-Man by killing Spider-Man you're an idiot. If you can't figure out how to make the Fantastic Four work, that says something about you: go do something else. Destroying the title for the good of the title is ludicrous. Why write about characters you don't want to write about. Make up your own and go kill them off. If the problem is that people won't care about your characters as much as these more established ones, well that's the point isn't it. More people care about the Fantastic Four than care about the Fantastic Four writing team. Nobody cares about their writers block.

    In any case, the chances of any good coming of this are something between zero, and negative zero.
    This reminds me of a letter I wrote to Steve Gerber when he was running an 'Online Comics are the Future' website:

    Comic books used to be sold everywhere. They were written at an 8th grade level and drawn passably well. Now, comic books are sold only in specific shops. Written at the 12th grade level and drawn by Angry Gods! Trying to sell them online is futile as long as their average customer can get pr0n delivered free to their inboxes daily

    The people who make comics no longer understand the business of creating and selling comics. That's why the entire industry is in such a mess
