cant say as he plays but i have already tried MC Chris. if others would like to try him, might get some positive momentum going.

here's a thought, an informal agreement to post a single character as an in game billboard for a $100 pledge towards the cause, should tehre be a crowd funding effort and should we succeed.

I have had a Facebook page running since yesterday where I have gathered pertinent links to petitions, player group pages, most importantly the Titan forums posting where Tony announced his intentions, and contact information for NCSoft and its chief executive. http://tinyurl.com/9g4m72t

Any constructive feedback provided to NCSoft in support of Tony's endeavors would be greatly appreciated.

i do remember the functional description tho if that helps. they improve the chances of successful repair of a destroyed base defense item to which they are attached. if you build the various level forges temporarily to scan through the defense aux options you will eventually locate it, but please bear in mind you wont be able to place it unless you have a base plot that allows for defense items. (i.e. secure)

they are defense aux, require attachment to a defense item, of arcane origin. cant login right now or i would give you a name. hit me up on global at @insatiable one and ill check in my base editor and tell you what they are. Also will provide a base tour if you have any Justice redsiders, if you like.

im no fan of the one in a thousand "chance" to get a vanity pet or the random nature of what costume peices u get with the potential for redundancy. the system pre packs was "i pay amount x, i receive what i paid for", not "i receive a chance to get what i wanted" why not instead set a specific reward for purchase of packs, akin to, lets say you buy 10 (insert arbitrary amount here) packs you unlock this 1/4 or this 1/3 of the costume set. and if you buy 50 packs you get this pet. that would be a more honest way to encourage participation in what is otherwise a pretty neat program. honestly all the gambling aspect does is encourage me to check stuff out on Beta where it is free. You give me what i want when i buy it and i will surely buy it. plain and simple.

Maybe off topic from the title of the thread but i'd like to put my two cents in on behalf of redside. When I started on ish 10, we still had a decent redside pop on Justice, and better than 80% of my justice toons and probably 65% of all my toons total across all servers are redsiders. Its personal preference, and ease of play (less running about nonsense zone to zone) and well written storylines. I admit i am not fully versed in all things blueside in terms of story. However, one has to acknoweledge it may not be coincidence that the concentration on new gameplay towards co-op has had a negative affect on redside population across the servers. And inherently, it is unwise not to have parity when developing new content to functionally ostracize a significant minority of your game playing population. When i bought into this game i didnt buy the COH pack, i bought the COV pack, and was excited when the opportunity presened itself to try blue side as well. However i fear that the gravitation of more players to blueside is due to the dip in vilside population and i think its shameful to let such a richly detailed universe over in the rogue isles go to waste. Weighting towards co-op does not equal parity, and i think if we put some more appealing storylines, with some rewards as a nice carrot and made it redside only content, you would have a population resurgence that woul dbenefit membership across the board, ultimately. (seeing as how new players wont hear, "oh vilside, who wants to go there, nobody ever plays there" etc.)

by the way i LOVE this format. Just sayin.

gotta go with B, as long as there are no precolored portions. i really dislike that trend but i applaud the retro sci fi whole heartedly people been wanting bubbel helmets for forever.

furthermore, this opens up a possibility for some other SSA ideas- blueside you have to reform a phalanx like team, or putdown invasions by each of Recluse's seconds in command, or redside consolidate arachnos powers (take on GW, Mako, Black Scorpion and Scirocco sequentially as they make their individual gambits to seize power) and implement a level 50 praet zone where you would choose to either reform the Empire in your Image or liberate the peoples.

I'm thinking whatever happens, Recluse dies. The masks were released as tributes to States and Recluse. It may likely be at the hands of Wade, or Wade's benefactor (with Reclusing offing Wade). with the benefactor being offed by the players. This opens up an vaccum of power, both red and blue side, which would be a good thing cause we are now supposed to have these uber heroes, who are still flunky level to the Phalanx and upper level Arachnos? So the absence of the uber hero/villain would make for a more realistic acheivement of at least a villains ultimate aim, the whole enchilada. Can they possibly make all of Arachnos non hostile towards you? or would they continue to be hostile towarrds you as they would be attemping to usurp your power? its an intriguing possibility when in fact we are altering the universe now, according to the way missions are geared around team leader's view point. (experience the universe created by JimBob)

picturing female pet equivalent of gang war just in time for christmas shoppin.

ya gotta think about movies within the context of who is making this movie and who will be the target audience. 1960s war movies, were being made by adults who most likely served in the armed forces in a war against an actual evil, namely, three fascist/imperialist regimes bent on domination of their respective areas and with some very nasty agendas whereupon lesser classes and races of peopel we subjugated, enslaved and killed. Real evil crap mind you. Notsomuch guerilla warfare as emplyed in lets say, vietnam, and not as much civilian casualties encountered when you arent in the midst of guerilla warfare and your enemy doesnt bother to wear a uniform to distinguish itself from the general populace. So you have vets of WWII making pictures that retell some of their experiences, where they felt a sense of PRIDE at being part of a VICTORIOUS effort against true evil, for a target audience of mostly males that would be going on to serve in the military for Johnson and Kennedy and Nixon. fast forward post Vietnam. Audience has changed, and from older siblings/media they learned that marching off to war doesnt get you a tickertape parade when you come home, you might be minus a limb and pretty much despised as an instrument of oppression or a tool of anti commie propaganda by the general public, while dealing with the same amount of shellshock or whatever teh politically correct word for it is now, post traumatic stress disorder (WWI and WWII vets were encouraged to bury the symptoms more strongly by the society in which they were raised.) SO a natural derivative of movies being made by 70s and 60s contemporary vets tended to emphasize a different side of war itself, placing greater emphasis on the loss (well ya know, they did lose) and the futility of the war as THEY experienced it. Not suprsingly, they are bitter. Who was the target audience for these movies, other vets, who sypathized with their plight, females as they become a greater component of a viewing audience, LIKE the drama. SO you preach to the choir, and you sell tickets.

You want a good war movie, watch inglorious basterds. full metal jacket. you will always find an exception to a trend within any system, if only because someone is trying to make a buck sideways or trying to use thier vision to tell a story from a different angle. On top of that you got a whole generation of parents raising their kids with more pacifist tendencies and a whole generation of kids grew up that werent actively encouraged to enlist. There goes most of your target audience that would laud the glory of war, even with a competent dose of reality paired with it.

Today, you got twenty bucks a month to entertain with, and if u opt for a movie out, it will likely be a compromise between you and your chick caus eit aint no fun to go alone, with her seeing a chick flick and you wtching a straight up action flick.

I watched Cap and I watched Thor. First iron man kicked butt. Second notsomuch cause I wanted original rhodey back not don cheadle, even tho don looks more the part when compared to the comic.

Cap was a good story and was true to the generation, that took pride in serving its country. gonna be interesting seeing his take on modern day living.

Thor. if you stick to comic book origins should even be more of an anachronism than Cap. Im not too fond of science so spiffy its magic take, takes the honor and glory of achieving valhalla.. the wife enjoyed it cause of natalie, go a real chuckle when Mjolnir got mispronounced , but I really dont think she would have enjoyed it as much as she did if there was no love interest angle. Thats what gets female fannies in the seats, and you kinda have to nurse that along, so as an aftereffect what spats of action we get to see has to be a bit condensed so that you can devote time to developing the back story (have to make it appeal to the non comic reader audience) and teh love story and yadda yadda.

wanna know why comic readers are inspiring so much movie creation? cause they miss the way comics USED to be written! the storytelling isnt there anymore, they restart the universe so they can rehash old plots yaddda yadda.. so where can tehy get a story with which we are familiar? where Power Man and Spiderman and Wolverine arent Avengers? why, the movies of course... where teh stories with which we are familiar are retold, albeit with a little polishing to offset 40 years of anachronism if we just lifted the plot and popped it in with the CGI and let her rip.. but enough of the core story is there so that we can feel that elusive reconnect with something we treasured from our childhood.

granted, these will not be teh original avengers, Janet filled the role of the typical shallow heiress which was ok in teh sixties and wont play today, and Hank is a bit of a poor man's Reed Richards and through his own adoption and abandonment of costumed identities through the years to be picked up by other persons has pretty much diluted himself into an unrecognizable guy that just plays himself when last i cared. Janet evolved in the comics of course into a strong leader, but that was primarily through her experience and you cant build that into a 2 hour movie.

I worry about this 3rd Hulk, I like mark ruffalo but ed norton was friggin brilliant. when a star doesnt want to reprise a role, he should make an attempt to figure out WHY he would be asked to reprise the role and sit down and read the first few avengers comics and get up to speed.

I loathed the initial Hulk and i think the majority of the planet would concur. Ang Lee cant direct his way out of a wet paper bag.

One bright side in the change in our target audience is the emersion of chicks what kick *** movies. The female warrior ala Kill Bill, Underworld, the one with the zombies, forgive me its late.. has promise, in the sense of the whole "honor over physical comfort" tenet that used to just be attributed to a male dominated genre...

when the boys stop strapping themselves to wires and putting on blue screen suits to portray their prowess, we'll see strong male heros return. I love Jackie Chan, but he is old school by todays standards, and the old ones some of us grew up with or were raised wath an appreciation of, thanks to our fathers, are sadly too aged or have passed.

It usually takes a big social change or world event to generate large scale changes in the socioeconomic structure, and we really havent had a big one since the sixties. who knows, we might be due for one. Fight Club kinda carried that flag.

My heroes were crafted by George Lucas, and I root for the Empire. The prequels had their faults and their merits. The imagination that these movies sparked (as well as Indiana Jones) is one of a more intellectual (not necessarily winning the war by brute force) variety. Its still a sense of discovery, and of hopefulness for the future. The guys a little older than me may have been more into Star Trek. they kinda share a similar result in fostering an environment where the nerd can triumph, but we do what we can, at least until they come up with a super serum.

OK this is not quite a comment on the incarnate shinies, here, but a conjecture on what the new trial is gonna be. (I didnt see or look for addtional info on the new adversary, sometimes its more fun to guess) Media Blitz at the TPN would be a great opportunity to work in Radio/Television or a Praetorian hybrid of the two. Maybe the Preatorian counterpart is the method the Well of the Furies whispers to the masses, allowing for the hand of the Well, Cole, to focus his attention on his efforts against Primal Earth..

wow, he's still alive? I thought Sean Michaels had him Peter Scolari'ed.

How about something akin to another comic book tradition- the passing of a superhero mantle on to a younger hero? as in Captain Mar-Vell and Captain Marvel, for example.
