  1. I'm sorry, what *is* this?
  2. Thankfully Jimmy Olsen had an identical 10 year younger identical twin of himself, with the same goals and aspirations in life.

    None of this episode, or season made any sense. Endless knuckledragging, contribute-nothing crap bubbling until they play the John Williams theme and have him rip off his shirt (which did not look good, and incidentally, was just about the only shot of him in the suit that wasn't CGI).

    Literally no element of this season made sense or was explained. Clark should be institutionalized for seeing his dead father all the time. What the hell hour waste of time with Lois breaking up with Clark on their wedding day, and the backwards wedding still going off without a hitch, without a wedding planner in the background screaming in frustration. Nice that Lex is back, scarred, out of no where, for no reason, becomes a total amnesiac, and then within 4 years, becomes the president. I could go on, but pizza is here.

    About the only good thing I can say for it, is they addressed something I always see in comics/cartoons that has never made sense to me. When a character who can fly gets knocked back, why do they *always* continue in their trajectory until they smash into something? At least when Lionelseid (lol.) punches Clark back, he goes "Oh yeah, I don't have to smash the rest of the barn (lol.) and can stop my falling.
  3. If you want me to care about another laggy and bland event that makes me avoid certain zones ala Rikti/Zombies/GMspawning, you should at least set it to catchy lyrics like this: The Praetorians are coming!

    I opened and skimmed cause it said there was new stuff; I saw it was still gun stuff and hit back, just as I hit this post. Then I quickly came *back* cause I had to read that twice.

    It wasn't what I thought.

    Man, he's slimey.
  9. I do not understand why people are doubting Ill/Storm can solo AVs. It can. Easily...

    Because Synapse is /awful/ and Psyche is only slightly awful... in comparison.

    Read the book

    EDIT: But to be clear, I doubt that is the case as well. I was just being hopeful and trying to avoid all the "DOoooooom!"
  12. I actually have to wonder if this isn't intentionally misleading, with all the earlier press about Birthright being their inspiration. Zod could be a character either in the "past time viewing" device of Lex's, or he could be one of the fake Kryptonian's he employs to eff people up in the streets during the "invasion". As much as I love Zod, I'd love even more to see something new and interesting for the franchise reboot. Especially if it is going to lead into the JL movie.

I'm gonna continue to monitor what I'm getting vs what I do.
    To be honest, I'd much rather get commons than uncommons. You need about a metric crapload more commons than uncommons, and uncommons don't break down well enough to make a common. They really should allow every reward screen to let you select a lower tier if you should like. Perhaps a small thread bonus for each tier lower you descend or something.
  14. I'd heard it was based around participation using more or less the same mechanics as the praetorian zone events... and for both situations MM's reliant on henchmen have been screaming about being screwed over, as their pet damage apparently hasn't been factored into their "contribution".

    I get rare/very rare very commonly, with the only commons I've gotten being while I was afk for the first stage or two of BAF. Most people I've seen talk about this report similar consistency... generally "all uncommons" or "all commons." Or that changing their playstyle nets different rewards ("I started ignoring most my storm powers, and spammed O2 and I started getting rares consistently", etc). I'd suspect there is a random component at least... but that there could very well be a "baseline" contribution from participation. I also totally get the "random is random" and "sample size is small" stuff, so I'm curious to hear more on this.
  15. Ooh, great style. I'd love a pic of LL (leftmost costume is really the only one I use, in my sig). I look forward to seeing the winners' pics regardless
  16. Came on to check up on this bug too, sad to see no acknowledgment of it. I didn't know it was happening to fortunes, but it is a major deal to suddenly have your 45% end reduction enhancement stop working.

    in other words will i have to dial down my awesome if i need a common component? :P
    No, you'll just break down your very rare and craft 2 commons. But yes, they moved away from random drops 7 issues ago.

    Yes, there's down arrows on the Munitions Facility/Weapons Cache/Grenade/Warehouse team's elevators, and the other is the Training Facility/Lab/Acid elevators. They go by many names. Even with the labels over them.
  19. Also that shards drop in all content now, and are convertable to threads on a 1:1 basis, that you get big rewards even for failing, that threads drop way faster than shards, that you get 2 different kinds of merits for progress and completion of the new trials that both hasten thread/component count, AND when you finish, you also get your choice of component from a table based on your contribution (common/uncommon/rare/very rare).

  22. I /like/ when a lot of things agress me; if it were up to me, the agress cap would be a lot higher, and I'd still want as much as possible to agress me.
