Nope. It's an oft-requested weapon, though.

Oh yes, that too, although that's really an incidental disadvantage since it counterbalances the benefit of being able to play both sides with only having access to one Ouro, and as long as you remember this fact consistently (lol), it's not too big of a hassle.
I guess it also bears mentioning that Rogues cannot participate in CoP trials run by Hero SGs, and Vigilantes cannot participate in CoP trials run by Villain SGs, so that benefit is nonexistent for that particular content. -
No Hero/Villain Merits or access to Fort Trident/The Crucible (these are not necessarily the same thing, as each zone contains mildly convenient direct teleports to signature TF contacts). Also, the Hero/Villain alignment powers (Call to Battle and Frenzy, respectively) are better than the Vigilante/Rogue powers (Fear Incarnate and Duplicity, respectively), IMHO.
It also gives the impression to others that you're a wishy-washy superbeing that can't make up their mind.

You missed them announcing it a few weeks ago, then replying to annoyed and dissatisfied comments with "But you don't know how yet!"
I think someone in the writing department needs to go back to school and learn what the damn meaning of SUSPENSE is. Not to mention SURPRISE. And NOT GIVING THE PLOT AWAY...Sheesh. -
You should get the dialog box up again asking you to queue (or decline) once the league leader has queued the league up, but I've seen people saying that it can be bugged and not show up for some people.

Quote:You're blaming the show for the network's advertising decisions. A network that has historically made poor programming decisions and has been in the toilet since Friends finally got its unfunny hinder off the air.Originally Posted by Lothic
I suppose I'll have to check out the box sets of this show sometime. I think I kind-of, sort-of almost knew about this show but it has definitely been off my radar and I admittedly knew practically nothing about it before this thread.
All I can say is if this show is as good as people here say it is then it has at least completely failed in the "encouraging new people to watch it" department. That's probably why it's going to get cancelled no matter how good it is. *shrugs* -
No to changing old Master badge requirements.
HOWEVER
They could unveil a whole new set of badges, call it "Incarnate of", where your Incarnate abilities are actually disabled, with all the rest of the Master requirements. (And obviously these versions of the TFs would require you to be no lower than level 50, and probably be VIP too.)
OR
Have an Incarnate-level difficulty option for these TFs, which doesn't disable your Incarnate powers but instead raises the difficulty of the enemies (+4, minimum), maybe even give a level shift to the final AV, again alongside the requirements of No Temps and No Deaths. ("Incarnate of X Task Force" would make a little more sense for this since you're actually be using your Incarnate powers.) -

With that grievance aired, I love the fact sheets for the costume sets, these need to accompany every new costume set.

So basically you're not going to tell us at all when Celestial is going away, you're just gonna let them sit until you pull the rug out from under us in a few months.
Nice. -

Quote:It's an antiquated meaning that's no longer relevant, so yes I quite happy dismiss it.Originally Posted by Tyger42
You're the problem here. You're dismissing common perception. Nobody perceives "painting" as meaning anything less than what the Mona Lisa is. Most people in the US, however, have a rather immature perception of what a "cartoon" is. But, again, no one's calling video game character's "cartoons", so saying it's just a shortening of that is nonsense. No one has EVER used the "long version". As I said before, they're not calling them "short for Cartoon". They're specifically calling them "toons". Which is a term that previously applied to a very specific type of cartoon character. It's not that we're ascribing meaning that doesn't exist. It's that you are refusing to accept meaning that DOES exist.
This. Shut up and let me play my own game, dammit.Quote:Originally Posted by EU_Damz

I think you're reading way too much into things. A bug was reported, so they fixed it. They don't just leave stuff unfixed if it's not exploitable (okay, sometimes they do, but mostly when it's low priority stuff). The badge was not WAI, now it is WAI.
Not every single issue that is known to the devs is on the (visible to players) Known Issues list because they shouldn't be, the list would be enormous. And not ever single tiny little bug fix makes it into the patch notes either, even if it's not an exploit. -
Quote:Roger Rabbit was never quite a kid's movie. I mean, it was, but it was sufficiently adult that it could never be considered "kid's stuff".Originally Posted by 80sBaby
The best part is that he's using Roger Rabbit as his go-to example. A movie almost 30 years old. Since that time cartoons have clearly become more than simply "kid's stuff."
Again, you are ascribing meaning where none exists. Cartoons are a medium. That's it. You don't see people going around saying "Don't call the Mona Lisa a painting, that diminishes it."Quote:Originally Posted by Wing_Leader
This strikes me as true only in a superficial way, ignoring decades of cultural history behind both "cartoons" and superhero comics.
You know what my reply is to this? WHO. CARES. Seriously. Why do you care what people who don't like the things you do think? [CLUNKY SENTENCE OFF THE PORT BOW, CAPTAIN!]Quote:And yes, video games and comics are indeed considered for children by the vast majority of people who don't play/read them. But I believe they are considered a children's pasttime even by many of the adults who do play/read them just the same. Just because they participate as adults doesn't mean they think of the activity as any less juvenile, or are any less prone to apply juvenile-sounding terminology.
And why do you assume that I view video games and comics as juvenile just because I refer to them as cartoons? Again, you are ascribing beliefs to me for no reason whatsoever other than your own biases, that I must believe X because I use the word Y. A favorite comedian of mine, Louis CK, uses pretty much every single vulgar word, ever. Literally all of the vulgar words. But he's not a racist, not a homophobe. He uses those words for a very calculated reason, it's just not the reason you might think it is based on what you expect when you hear the words. -

Quote:I can't figure out a way to respond to this that doesn't end with me viciously insulting you so I'm just gonna say "yes" and leave it at that.Originally Posted by Doctor Roswell
So... in any a situation where shaving five whole letters off of what you're typing is in any way significant, chances are you're too busy to be typing at all, and you won't be responding anyway until that boss is finished off or that room is cleared or whatever. Either that, or things aren't so hairy that you can't manage complete sentences with capitalization and everything (but no end punctuation for some reason), in which case you probably don't really need five keystrokes' worth of time anyway.
Got it.
Again, you're the only attaching a childish image to a word that doesn't carry that meaning. I don't view cartoons as being for children, so I have no problem referring to something that is animated as a cartoon. As far as video games not being cartoons (as someone else said; don't feel like quoting it), that is true, but comics are basically cartoons, and have been animated countless times.Quote:Originally Posted by Tyger42
It's not the shortening that people take issue with, but the use of "cartoon" at all to refer to a video game character. It, to many people, tends to put forth a more childish image of what it is. ( Yes, I know there are very mature cartoons out there, but the broad perception of a cartoon is still "kids' stuff" ). Shortening a different word to refer to characters wouldn't be met with so much opposition: "char" or "av" ( for "avatar"). "Alt"/"main" tends to work as well
Good grief this argument is dumb. Every time I think I've partaken in the dumbest argument ever, I somehow manage to end up in one that's even more stupid.
