Your argument is not canon and is therefore invalid.

*Wins the debate that was apparently going on*

It was in one of the opening scenes of The Dark Knight. There was some poser dressed up as Batman and had a shotgun, then the real Batman showed up. Fake bats pointed the gun at real bats, and real bats grabbed the front of it and bent it upwards.

I couldn't find a video of the clip, but I did find someone with very little knowledge of movie making asking a question about it.

You sure? He bent the barrel of a shotgun with one hand...

Though the guy holding it was able to keep it still, so maybe it was just a really flimsy gun.

Well, the first one was really funny, and it made a point... but then there was a second... and then a third.

Now, a "Post screenshots of your Bifurcations log" thread, THAT would be hilarity!

I really like this idea as an honest suggestion. It'd go well sitting next to Snowflakes in the Candy Keeper's catalog.

Maybe also some kind of Grinch-related emote (the smile would be hard to pull off) for a naughty/nice parody/parity.

It was either that or Hasten. (-:

Regerse JRanger?

Holding Trapdoor prevents him from spawning Bifurcations. Dragging him down the hall or into the lava or whatever takes him away from where his Bifurcations spawn.

Think about this for a second. If you had this magical ability to teleport to multiple locations simultaneously in order to recover during a battle, would you send yourself all the way down a hallway, or up out of the lava, and still not be able to rest? Probably not.

Conceptually: the Bifurcations buff Trapdoor's regeneration no matter where he is.

On the other hand, if someone froze you solid, wrapped you up in vines, chomped down on you with an ethereal shark or whatever and made it impossible for you to move whatsoever, would you be able to teleport yourself to multiple locations at once? Probably not.

Conceptually: mezzing Trapdoor will prevent him from Bifurcating.

The upcoming changes aren't the devs striking down creativity or forcing in arrogance players to do things their way. They had specific intentions going into this that weren't met due to an oversight; they are not taking action against player tactics specifically.

The fact that these changes are taking place means the devs did something wrong, yes, but what they did wrong was not allow the Bifurcations to always buff Trapdoor in the first place, NOT the fact that they're changing to work that way from now on.

You are terribly mistaken, my friend. The gold standard is 'make it fun,' and sometimes that comes in the form of multiple solutions to the same problem and sometimes not.

I mean really, just look at Trapdoor: his signature move is bifurcating to regenerate health. You think maybe, just maybe, it was intended to be a part of the battle? The fact that people figured out ways to nullify the effects of the bifurcations was an oversight by the devs, and one they are correcting in the next update.

Is that taking away an option? No, not by definition. It's correcting an oversight. If the changes taking place in the next patch were already in place with I19, nobody would be complaining about their introduction.

Not only that, but prior posts in this thread express the sentiment that the devs have specifically done a bad thing that they shouldn't have done because of this one mission that you can't auto-complete.

I mean, this isn't Castle on epic powersets here. (-:

You won't be dropped from your Super Group if you switch to Villain, but you will lose access to your base and will be demoted from Super Leader until you roll back around to Hero. Other than putting someone else in charge during the interim, there is no risk for switching sides.


Correct, but you'll only be granted the Accolade badge and none of its prerequisites.

That was me you were quoting... The one who has repeatedly cast harsh words at min/maxers and on more than one occasion linked to one of his prized Frankenslotted builds? Yeah, you were just responding to what I said and completely overlooked the fact that it was me saying it.

Sure, I've soloed the Mender Ramiel arc (with Inspirations) on the four characters I've attempted it with, but my Defender is not among them, and I'm not entirely certain I can solo the whole thing with an Emp/Elec...

Or, if humor is allowed, a Suck/Suck.

I don't ever slot for Invention Sets (intentionally, at any rate), and I'm about as displaced as it gets from the min/maxing crowd. I've been especially vocal in the past about how brain-deaded the general populace has been when religiously taking Stamina, and I'm not exactly enthused that it is now forced on every character at level 2.

But hey, let's not let context get in the way of a good flame. Clearly, clearly, my post shows that my sentiment towards those pitiful, non-uberleet players is that they're just whiny noobs.

People took their Resistance characters to Paragon City? Not me! Villain all the way!

Probably Suck Domination/Sucky Blast/Suck Mastery.

Yes. And if you switch back, the badge description says you get to keep them.

In that case, I have a recommendation for you.
