Quote:Well, I didn't hate Aquaman #2 but I did think it was over too soon, with too little happening -Originally Posted by Durakken
why Aquaman fell so hard in my opinion...
Some guy: Hey Aquaman, come check this out!
Aquaman: Gosh, that's weird.
Creatures (attacking): Raaarrr! Spit!
Narrator: tune in next month when we'll hear Aquawoman say, "Mera, damn it!"
- which is something I've felt about several of the new DCnU books. Seem we just get started and before ya know it there's Carol Burnett tugging her ear. Say, maybe that's who that mysterious hooded woman is.
Superman #2 felt more like a complete issue.
I also got Journey Into Mystery #630 (this is the only Marvel comic I still pick up) but I haven't read it yet. -
Quote:Yes, I believe that hooded figure appeared in all the new #1 issues, as well as in the Flashpoint story that preceded them.Originally Posted by Night-Hawk07
Btw, anyone notice the hooded figures in the background of at least one panel in B&R and TT (only two I noticed them in)? Wonder what's going on there...

Mask Hunting? Ok I feel really stupid asking this but what is that is that a loose term for being a villian and pvping for heroes?

As someone who makes his own beer, I'd love to find a recipe for a good Coffee Stout.

Really miss Power Girl and Stephanie Brown.

It's funny how they make the argument that these ancient carvings don't have native features, yet nobody ever considers they may have just been really bad artists. Give me crude 3000 BC tools and I'd make you think we'd been invaded by ameobas.

Quote:At 2 slots into Tier 8 (after a mighty $15 first time purchase), I still couldn't start a new SG *or* pay base rent for an SG that one of my characters has been a member of since February of 2007 (all other members of that SG are long gone).Originally Posted by Lazarillo
Depends how far along in the tiers you are. I could cancel and keep pretty much everything. The only thing in my case that I'd definitely and permanently lose access to is this mysterious "Incarnate System" people keep talking about.

I'm still waiting for Multi-Team-Based costume designing!
[league] League Leader: Team 1 has head, team 2 has upper body and legs, team 3 take back detail and auras!
[league] PuG Member Frank: I've always found it better to divide by Head, Body and Legs, then all three teams move to auras and back options!
[league] PuG Member Joe: Can I be on the head team?
[league] PuG Member Al: Wait... who selected Trench Coat??
[league] League Leader: Ack, Boot Team, that color does NOT match our hat!!
[league] PuG Member Betty: Wait who has auras? OMG turn the flies aura off!
[league] League Leader: IMPORTANT!! Please STOP hitting the Match Colors button!!!
...
For a few moments they stood there, silently, and then they turned and entered their mission and my hero never saw them again.
Possibly due to retinal damage. -
Like Robinson Crusoe! It's primitive as can be!

That's more or less what I wanted to see as end game: Play the rest of the game, then make more like that.

Quote:"Tommy, can you hear me?"Originally Posted by Golden Girl
As it's Numina holding it, and the Midnighters are invovled, it's very likely to be the skull of her father, Tommy, which is currently lying on the front desk of the club.

Quote:Hypothetical Man: What's going on?Originally Posted by MrCaptainMan
They won't do this because (I'm sure they will argue) it will confuse the hordes of new players that are going to be flocking to play CoH when Freedom goes live. Also, it will mess up continuity if Twinshot etc are referring to stuff you've supposedly done in Galaxy's Last Stand and you haven't.
Contact: Haven't you heard?
Hypothetical Man: I've been busy dealing with an outbreak--
Contact: Galaxy City's been destroyed!
Hypothetical Man: What! -

Why die during the tutorial anyway? Why does it have to be a challenge?
"Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after." - Rupert Giles
Again - keep the new tutorial! Let 'er rip! Have at it!
But why not throw the nostalgic fans of the old a bone and give them the OPTION to do the old tutorials with new characters? What would it hurt? -
Quote:One is better than none.Originally Posted by Mr. DJ
The option is there, it's just that one little detail.

Quote:Getting a little personal there, eh?Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
You can skip this tutorial too. Or did you miss that in your rush to complain about it?

Quote:I don't always fight mass quantities of Contaminated in Breakout, nor do I get the Isolator badge on each and every hero, but the option to do so is there if I feel like it. I like that.Originally Posted by Mr. DJ
There's practically no way in regular gameplay you would ever die in the tutorial, even if you were completely new. I can't think of the right word, since manipulate or gaming the system don't seem to apply for what you do. But your pseudo danger is something I wouldn't consider since you have to go out of your way to do it.
There is no such option in the new tutorial. I don't like that.
Once the new and shiny has worn off this new one, what's going to be left? How long until this one is even more boring than the old one, because all it really amounts to is a glorified cut scene? -
Quote:As has been previously stated, those lvl 1 Contaminated can DEFEAT YOU and all those endless epic hordes of Shivans CANNOT.Originally Posted by Mr. DJ
it's more epic than herding lvl 1 Contaminated o.O
There's no 'epic' to it when you can't lose. -
Quote:Which was why we were given the option to skip the tutorial. Options are GOOD.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
Nope. But I also didn't enjoy repeating the same actions, running down a long street needlessly, stopping to sort out a wall o'text every few moments, and basically being yo-yo'd around by a bunch of people standing around doing nothing.
