Jagged

I haven't. I use the forum practically everyday. I am missing how its completely borked.

*shrug*

Yeah, its as though people don't watch telly during the holidays

Here in the UK I am looking forward to watching Doctor Who while digesting turkey and trimmings

I was more confused by the arrival of Team Galactus?

*waves fist*

Hmmm.

I could have sworn it said 2:00:00. Something definitely said two hours, I may have right clicked the wrong temp power. But that would explain it, I spent more that 30 minutes in the Steel Canyon terrorising the citizens of Paragon City.

Doh! User error

Hmmm.

My lady is away visiting friends and is not back until Sunday afternoon. Perhaps I will grind some serious coffee and try and stay awake!

Keep an eye out for Power Jenny!

Cheers

For me that all depends on the last mystic

Generally speaking the only missions I auto complete are "Talk to <insert zone> security office."

My first thoughts mirrored those in the article, "why use CGI to make a monster that looks like a man in a suit?"

Much like the next Batman movie I have decidedly mixed expectations for this.

No problem with that either. But I'd rather it was because of some "real" environmental condition rather than because an "artificial" threshold has been breached.

Please excuse the use of "real" and "artificial" in a discussion about computer-make-believe but I am sure you all know what I mean

Grimm is still an episode behind. I don't understand American networks with their strange gaps in broadcasts, seems very odd.

Anyway I see Grimm has been picked up for a full season.

Agreed. Definitely the coffin.

However I don't think there is anything more to it than that. It would have been the absolute proof the kid needed, but now its beyond access.

The one thing that surprised me in this episode was that the Mayor seemed genuinely concerned for Henry. I suspect they are going down the root that the Evil Witch only wanted someone to love and was spurned etc etc.

Depends. Did she get herself a Wonder Woman costume?

Clearly. My point was that it is a good strategy right up until the tank hits the aggro cap, which is an artificial game cap and not something we should need to know about. For most of the game you don't need to know about it but this mission seriously breaks the spawn rules. In fact its a fine strategy for above the aggro cap too, its just that these spawns are so far above the cap that the slightest aggro from the Blaster drags 17 for him to deal with and there's nothing the tank can do.

I don't object to artificial game caps per se, but I think this one is bad for the game because in this particular situation it makes Duo'ing harder than soloing. Its one of those things that exists to stop power leveling but makes the game worse for those of us that are trying to play the game "normally". I always felt the AoE caps were enough. This was implemented back in the days when there were 3 fixes for everything but 1 would do

Also your tactic of targeting through the tank would only work if your blaster limited him/herself to single target and I am not sure even then. So you are left with pulling. Meh.

I think that is a consequence of having to have something new in the store each week.

I don't think they should back away from that but I think they causing problems for themselves by leaving the opportunity for feedback to so late in the process. I understand why they do that (they have told us about things that have never materialised in the past) but when it comes to costume packs they should be able to describe the contents well in advance, without that fear.

I also think they should not be afraid of updating a pack once it has gone live. Such as by adding female equivalents or non-tinted elements.

Yeah, thats what we ended up doing because my tank was teamed with a blaster. But my problem with that encounter is that it is was harder with two. Solo I could run in and stand in the middle of the group fighting the 17-at-a-time that would notice me. But if I did that and my blaster friend joined in, he would get the rest that were currently tanker-blind. So the only become snipe-pull

For any other situation it would be a valid tactic for the tank to grab all the attention and the blaster to snipe or nuke from a safe distance as they felt appropriate. But in this situation that would fail. And fail NOT because the tactic was suddenly bad but because an artificial mechanic made it so. I consider that bad design.

There should now be a competition to find someone that bought the game "because they saw it on Chuck"

Nice work

That would get my vote, if I got a vote

And if I had to pick just one I would ask for the aggro cap to be raised. I probably wouldn't notice an increase to the damage cap but I do notice the aggro caps. When my team mates ***K up and aggro the next couple of spawns I would like to do something about it.
