I hear you on that.
I've come to find myself thinking that this mindset also tends to influence others to continue in that way (To do "evil" in order to achieve the greater good). And, let's face it, not everyone will always be even close to correct in their assessment of that nor in their execution of it.

I believe "evil" begets "evil".

Unfortunately, the toughest thing to do is stand against something that will help you.

Of course, no one and nothing is perfect. And thus the cycle continues, hehe.

I think Sonic The Hedgehog, himself, is evil, because I never played another sidescrolling game of that (The Super Mario Bros) style ever again after completing the original Sonic on the Genesis.

It was great fun, but that was the end of it for me. No more, hehe.

(Not important, but thought I'd mention it to lighten the mood in here)

When the cat ripped the chair to threads, was that an act of evil?

HAHA!!
You get a cookie for that one! *tosses GG a cookie*

How about when all of that "saved the world" nonsense is undone when the truth came out?

The sacrifice was made for nothing and the actions and their ramifications remain.

This would also be another example... Is it better to alter the course of humanity with acts of untold horror? Or better to let them approach some other untold horror down the road... Since all of that would (likely) be by their own hands... I don't suppose there is any difference (Other than, who among us should be worthy of making the decision to commit terrible acts upon others?)



To tread lightly (Hopefully) on the subject of history's views on what is or isn't evil... One doesn't need to look far for large numbers of innocent people being killed and also left with lingering, chronic terrible results. Dropping the bombs on Japan is something that many people today could highly disagree about. And, what is said about it might very well depend upon what nation's history books you read.


Not that this totally represents my own opinions of the aforementioned acts... Life tends be a situation not of rights and wrongs, but of how much wrong you are willing to live with.

*stops self from babbling further*

Not the first time I've thought, "I don't need to post, because Steampunkette already said it". *waves*


Hehe... And it would be interesting to see who or what else might rise in his place.

That's the kicker about these sorts of things (And why that plot in time travel science fiction always comes up)... Remove (However you do so) one element... And what is the result? No change? (Someone else fills the same role as the one you removed) Change for the worse? (Something even worse occurs instead of what had happened originally [time travelers, please forgive the flippant usage of the term "originally"])
In the end... we are usually left with questioning whether or not there was any worth in those actions and/or if the changes we influenced were better, similar or worse than what would have been otherwise.

Cool... I had just logged on and found that I, too, had this bug and was reading up on what steps to take... when you announce this and I see the updater is fixing these particular files!

Sorry I didn't make them do this sooner, everyone!
It's good to be the king!



(Hope this actually works!)

This is great!
Not to make a Batman or anything... But I am going to play around with Mids and see what I might like to try!



And... I just started reading that AR/Ice Guide... HAHA... Wow, this is great so far...

That is so great... I was going to say, specifically, that allowing a finer control for object placement would be great. Often times, you just cannot center certain objects in relation to other objects... do to the way they snap on the placement grid. Making a more finely tuned placement grid (Or however it really works under the hood) would be just great.
Allowing free vertical movement, of course, would be absolutely super.

Oh... and while we're here.. reflections and shadows in bases would be sweet

Here here!!

That would suck!
I H@te Purpell!!
I see wut youre sayin tho..... giv them power costumizationalizing and their 2 powerfull lol sux



(haha... that was difficult to write and now it is even harder to post...)

See that's the complete reverse of it and I know and understand exactly what you're talking about. And I remember players boisterously claiming that skipping these powers is the only smart way to ever play this powerset and/or AT.
In that case it was (Or is, for such people that still feel this way), "The attacks suck! They are a waste! I heal and buff, not attack!".

Well, okay, if someone wants to do that for themselves, for either personal preference of playstyle, conceptual reasons or just to try out something different... Fine!
However, it is not simply correct by default.

And neither is the reverse... claiming that someone should never do that.

Honestly, people claiming this stuff on both sides of the argument are equally flat out wrong.

Now... Me... I dance to the beat of my own drum in all walks and defend anyone who wishes to do so in any field, any time.

What it all comes down to is performance.

To judge beforehand is to jump to conclusions.

Hey, I think we've all been in a situation where it is pretty clear how it will play out.
However, I think we've all also seen how much you can overcome in this game.. and, honestly, how fun is it when you do?
(I Can't tell you how many times I've been in situations where people think it's impossible... but, with a little positive re-enforcement and a bit of strategy... we prevail)

Anyone who, in performance, disrupts or hurts the fun... They need to be corrected or kicked or whatever. That has no bearing on build (How many idiots have you seen with the "correct" cookie cutter build that will destroy fun if left unchecked? I've seen many!).
I've seen too many players on odd builds that perform well enough (And even exceptionally well) to worry about what powers someone has chosen.

Now... newbies who clearly just didn't realize that they need certain defensive toggles in order to survive the way they are playing? They can certainly benefit from some helpful advice and such.

Otherwise... Don't presume you're in a position to edjemucate everyone to your preferred conformity!
