  1. Apparently executive producer and series creator Frank Darabont was fired by executives at AMC.

  2. I wish there was 2 additional smuggler ships in IP, one by the North End of the Zone relatively near Future Dynamics & one in the South End of the Zone, either by the Crey Havoc badge (by the Terra Volta entrance) or by the Family Partier badge (South of Terra Volta).

    Having the 3 smuggler ships would make it more convenient to get around in IP & would be a nice QoL thing for the Devs to do.

    there's a sidebar about the in-game store that I believe has some items we haven't seen before: A "Rocket Board" (sort of a flying skateboard), Circle of Thorns costume pieces, "Gunslinger" costume pieces (the picture shows a female in a sort of "saloon girl" outfit, with a big ribbon in her hair, a striped corset, and some kind of fancy belt...holsters, maybe?), and some of the Titan Weapons (a magic-looking staff, a fancy sword, and a spiked club, plus the railroad sign we've already seen).
  4. I like the idea as SlickRiptide presented it, on the launcher (not in-game) & you get items (or possibly Paragon Points as well) after watching a short ad.

    As long as it remains a non-obtrusive (no popup ads please) option on the launcher in which I can choose whether or not to participate in (example: click to view this weeks ad), that’s fine, I don’t have a problem with that.

    But if it becomes a non-skippable ad that I’m forced to sit through every single time before I can go into the game I wouldn’t want that at all.

    Rocket Boards?

    If we get a flying carpet as an alternate animation for rocket board I hope that instead of being like a rigid plank that it instead behaves more like cloth/fabric.
    (i.e. A ripple effect across the fabric as your moving)




  7. Let us throw a tank at someone.

  8. I was just about to suggest using mercs to represent UNIT & waiting for Issue 21 for Time Manipulation as a secondary.

    Considering how many Robots he has worked on, K-9, Kamelion, & GADGET (Water of Mars), Robots would also be a good choice.

    To get around use the Ouroboros Portal or the Mission Transporter power (to simulate a transmat beam teleporting you to your destination).

    Use your other costume slots to make yourself look radically different to simulate regeneration.


    It’s a shame that we don’t have enough customization on SG bases to make it resemble the inside of a TARDIS.
  9. I have always loved most of the Marvel “What If…” & DC Elseworlds stories.


    The Elseworlds story I hope that they eventually do is one where Kal-El receives the Power of Shazam.


    Imagine it, Kryptonian intellect paired with the Wisdom of Solomon; Kryptonian Strength, Speed & Invulnerability combined with the Power of Shazam.


    I wonder how different would the Superman of that world would be compared to our Superman.

    Rocket Boards?

    The two things I want are a flying carpet & an elemental platform that is shaped like a firebird or firedemon and an option to have the same thing in ice as well.

    you'd almost have to split it into two power sets to do it right.

    A summer set with fire and plants and a winter set with cold and dark


    I wonder if the tech from Dual Pistols Swap Ammo can be adapted to change mastermind pet attacks.


    You could have Light (Energy) or Dark (Negative Energy) Fairy attacks, or as Lycanus said, attack types based around the seasons, Spring (Plant), Summer (Fire), Fall (Storm/Electric), or Winter (Ice).




    Edit: Changed Earth to Storm/Electric combo for Fall.

    If the current tech doesn’t allow enemies to be taunted to a dead body, how about this instead, upon player death it spawns a nearby invisible unkillable immobile pet (with no attacks) that only uses taunt to draw enemies to it for a short period of time.

    Sort of like Omega Maneuver power the Crab VEAT gets but with no boom.

    Even more amazing, some of those who have investigated the Shivans and their meteors claim that tendrils of the fragments reach for miles across the island. There is some evidence that a giant tree near the nexus of these tendrils might somehow be absorbing the energy, though what this means none yet know.


    Quote:
    Unfortunately, this limited engagement is dramatically slowing down research that might reveal if the meteors are indeed pieces of Shiva, and why they are seemingly connecting to the ancient tree at the isle’s center.

  20. No surprise on V, it just failed to deliver week after week & the whiny emo son was the worst thing about the show.

    But I had hoped The Event might be given another season.


    When The Event came back from hiatus the writers had changed all the things people had hated about the show.

    They got rid of the annoying flashbacks, explained what Sophia’s people were & gave them a purpose for being here & most importantly the writers drastically ramped up the action for the show.

    I wonder why it took the writers so long to fix what was wrong with the show; this feels like déjà vu, it was the same thing that happened with SGU.
