    Nice bit of writing Steelclaw, but I've come to expect nothing less from you.

    I don't remember the exact quote, but it's along the lines of "All that must happen for evil to win is for good men to do nothing." Not saying GG is evil, per se, but if something is wrong, someone needs to step up and say so.

    I am in agreement with FFM on this one, and it appears I'm not alone.

    Horror movies

    I'd recommend "Woman in Black", which may still be in theaters at this point. Almost no blood, but a lot of creepieness.

    Also, check out either version of "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark." Have only seen the remake personally, but I assume the original 70's (?) would by default be even less gory than the remake.

    I'd second people's advice to check out the old Hammer Horror films from the 60's and their ilk. Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Vincent Price... those guys knew how to pump up the creepy vibe without rubbing the viewer's nose in it.

    Have fun!

    L5R's D10 system is alive and well, and into it's 4th Edition (I'm currently in a weekly game). Not 100% sure what AEG's ownership status is, but their logo still appears on the books.

    Rokugan was adopted as the "Oriental" setting for D20, but that may not currently be the case, haven't played D20 in some time.

    Far from it. I love the book, and hated the movie until I managed to (in my mind) "divorce" it from the book. At that point, it became good clean fun.

    As much as anything Paul Verhoeven touches can be considered clean.

    Slightly off topic, but this is something that occasionally irritates me. Blue side, these explore badges are just shinies, but Red side they are all required for the Invader accolade. If you slip and miss one, you have to hope you can find someone who is running the appropriate level mayhem mission so you can tag along.

    Would love to see a method to return to lower level SG/Mayhem missions. Perhaps after running your required number of radio missions, you're offered a choice to run in any zone you've met the level requirement for... so a level 50 could run a bank mission in any zone. Whether this would exemp the character to the zone level or generate enemies at the character's level wouldn't matter to me, it's all about the badges.

    Of course, making these missions available via Oroboros could also be an option.

    J/K. Seriously, I would not pay anywhere near 800 PP for this thing. Maybe 40-80 for the novelty of it, but that shiny would wear off really quickly.

  13. I'd love to be able to do a respec starting from level 50, work my way back to the point I'm happy, and then rechoose powers and slots from there forward.

    I think a fully dynamic respec (remove this power, add from available choices) might be too complex with level requirements on powers, but it would be sooo nice.

    I look forward to the day the devs finally make the Tanker "a devastating hand to hand combatant" that "dishes out all sorts of damage" with a "powerful, but not exceptionally quick, offensive punch".

    Because, you know, that's gonna happen.

    Nicely summed up, Tyger. I lol'd.

    And the new Stalker changes are excellent, I'm enjoying them a lot.

    This, btw, is how I deal with all "combat NPC" escorts. Don't give them a chance to wander around gathering aggro. Obviously, ambushes are a different matter, but there's nothing that says you can't stack the odds in your favor.

    Personally I like this arc, have run it on every toon I've played blueside. As I understand this, the change requires each toon to accept the missions in turn and run through them, solo or on a team. I see no problem with that.

    Want to be a Hero? You have to put in your own day's work.

    Both of these would be huge improvements to the in game e-mail system.

    Make it so!

    First, let me understand your position.

    1) You have toons with these names, but are not currently playing them.
    2) Rather than deleting the toons you are not playing, you are offering to sell their names for (IMO a large amount of) Inf

    If this is correct, then:

    Yes, you are camping on these names. I'm not saying that it's right or wrong, but it is what you are doing. The first step is admitting it...

    If someone is willing to pay you Inf for these names, good for you. Personally, I wouldn't give a small orange inspiration for ANY name. I'd either choose a different name or go to a different server where the name is available.

    I'll echo those that have wished you good luck with your sale... you're going to need it.

    Really? Are you sure about that?

    Whatever would we do without you here to tell us these things?

    Oops, almost forgot the winkie ...

    There, that's much better.

    "Of course gods exist. That's no reason to go around believing in them."

    Now where have I seen this before? World's greatest hero is killed... sightings start to occur... new hero taking up the mantle... it just seems so familiar.

    Gah, if only there was someone here to jog my memory, maybe the son of a dying planet could do it, you know, a man who is simply super. Oh well, it will come to me eventually.

    AFAIK, if the tip takes you to the Rogue Islands, it can't be completed by a pure Hero. Same goes for pure Villains who get tips that take them to Paragon City. These must be dropped/dismissed. Be aware that some of the Valentines that look like they would take you to the "other side" take you to a transport point instead, so these can be completed.

    Praetoria can be reached from the Studio 55 portal in Pocket D, and there are portals in Talos and (I think) either Sharkhead or Cap.

    As for why you get tips that can't be completed, I can't say. My Bane got a large percentage of these, maybe 1 in 4 could actually be completed. I'm assuming that was just luck of the draw.
  24. ::jaw drop::

    Wow, just... wow.

    I'm expecting this will probably be in limited release, but I'll check it out if it's playing in my area.

    Marklar and Marklar went to the Marklar to see the new Marklar.

    Things get out of hand pretty quickly when an "inside joke" gets brought out in public without a leash.
