Quote:The phrase "reboot the franchise" is generally associated with movies, not a line of comics existing within a greater universe. This would be an even worse idea to implement in the comics because of how great the impact would be across the Marvel Universe.Originally Posted by ketch
Um... nope. I'm not sure where this idea is coming from.

By level 50 it's implied that you're a big name in superhero circles, so Positron knows who you are and that you can be trusted. This becomes even more evident in the first part of SSA2.

I don't like playing against player characters. There is no change the devs can make to PvP that will make me want to participate.

Basically, just alternate the 2 single target attack to get through the mission until it gets fixed.
If you stay back and pull groups off a bit at a time, you can manage to get away with using Hand Clap on them once they get into melee range. Once you've whittled things down, the other AoE attacks can be used and you should be okay. You'll probably get lag spikes on each activation, but if you're careful you can avoid a full DC without sticking to ST powers.
I agree with T_Immortalus, unless there's some kind of clever optimization they can use, they'll probably end up having to reduce the number of enemies that are on the map at any given time. My hope is that they won't just outright nerf the mission but rather turn it into a number of large ambushes. -

I'd love to see a Darkseid + Apolakiptian invasion story, except it would seem like a major ripoff of Avengers and Loki's Chitauri invasion.

Quote:Already been covered, no sense in redoing the story in live action also.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
If it was me, I would take inspiration from the Tower of Babel storyline, but not necessarily copy the details verbatim. I would use the research Batman had done on all the other members as a way to "introduce" them to the audience, while their enemy incapacitates them one by one. It would then be up to the members of the JLA to pull together and work together to overcome the individual traps set for them, which would allow for the team to form organically.

This could have been easily avoided if there actually were a level 30-35 SF. Get on it, devs! I can't keep making a fool of myself like this. -

Quote:The real reason why a Red Lantern ring doesn't fit for Hulk is because his fingers are too large.Originally Posted by Unknown_User
Always fun to see which character from what different universe would get what lantern ring. The only one that I get irked by is the Hulk. Majority of people feel that the Hulk should always get the Red Lantern ring, and to this I say no. Mostly because I feel he doesn't really fit the requirement. When the Red Lanterns were introduced Atrocitus stated that the rage required to earn a Red Lantern ring, is the rage someone feels when they are powerless to stop an injustice inflicted on them. The Hulk is not powerless when someone makes the foolish mistake of inflicting an injustice on him. For me the Hulk would be a welcome member to the Sinestro Corps. A chunk of the Marvel universe fears and avoids the Hulk. You had the Illumanti send the Hulk off into deep space, Dr. Strange banished him into another dimension, and the Hulk even managed to scare a demon out of his mind when it saw the monster that was locked up in Banner's mind. Everything that was done to get rid of the Hulk was done out of fear.
You're welcome.
And I disagree, the Hulk personality is a direct manifestation of the powerlessness that Banner felt as a child, as another poster mentioned. Supposedly this is how gamma mutations work in the Marvel Universe; Samuel Sterns wasn't very bright, and thus became a genius, while Jennifer Walters was mousy and very meek and thus because a bombshell with a strong personality. -

omg did I just scoop Arcanaville on a game math question
-
Maneuvers is +Defense to everything, not just positional, so yes in this case it will stack with whatever typed defense you have.
But typed defense does not stack with positional, the game uses whatever's higher. So if you have 10% melee defense and 5% smashing defense, and get hit with a smashing melee attack, it will treat your defense as 10% in calculating whether or not the attack hits. -
This actually sounds worse than X-Men 3. Never make it, destroy any mention of the idea, mindwipe the person who thought of it and anyone who saw it.

Quote:It's certainly not based on local time since the original announcement of Freebie Fridays gives the time range in several different time zones.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
Um, what? It still says 6h 15m left for me. It shouldn't matter who or where you are; this is based on server time, not your local time.
(Or are you just saying you don't have an opportunity to claim it before it expires due to other obligations?)
And if you have other obligations, then what are you doing posting on the forum? -

Yeah, I missed the item again. Pretty much on account of the entire "not free and not on Friday" bit. It's too bad, the w^3 is a nice item.

Quote:Or just have future shifts count as Advanced Shifts that are only active on post-Magesterium trials.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
If they start giving too many more shifts, they'll need to add some kind of scaled back rewards or exemplaring for the lower level Trials - like getting, say, the current Keyes Island reward table for fighting gray mobs and a green Anti-matter would be unbalanced.

Quote:You're right, I'm looking at it again and now cannot make heads or tails of what he's trying to say. The devs should remove all power effects? I mean, what else can they really do. This is what happens when you have 16-24 people fighting the same single enemy. Perhaps a little more forced league division would be beneficial, though (Lambda has the right idea here).Originally Posted by plainguy
I think your misunderstanding the OP complaint.
