Quote:That was a no-brainer. The game specifically says the the system can run Praetoria three times over, or something similar. I'm betting we take out two of the reactors so they can't put that extra energy to use warring.
Next incarnate trial will be Keyes Island Reactors.
here you're fighting against "Anti-Matter"
he's Postiron's evil twin
Quote:Next after that is Underground Praetoria
Bring a stealth member on this one, says Nate.
Hammadon was only in hibernation, and is back in this one.
The mission interior has cool glowing all over with strange alien attachments growing around.

Her father is Sportsmaster, who was seen in the episode Drop Zone working with Kobra and the mysterious group of unseen villains.
Quote:Also, when was she in a cheerleader costume? That seemed to be thrown in there.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS
Fans have been connecting the dots based on hints the writers have dropped in interviews and in the show itself.
That wasn't Ms. Martian, but a character from a sitcom, presumably titled 'Hello Megan!'. A snippit advertising the show can be heard on the TV playing in the background in Artemis' home in the episode Downtime
M'gann learned about Earth from watching old sitcoms, and patterned her looks and personality on the sitcom character Megan, right down to acting ditzy, baking cookies for her friends and using the "Hello Megan!" catchphrase constantly because she thinks that's how an "Earth girl" is supposed to act.
Presumably, Superboy spends some time watching TV at the HQ, has seen the show and has put two and two together. He may be the only one on the team who realizes where she gets it from and thus sees though her "act".

SPOILERS:
As part of the Praetorian Invasion, Steel Canyon takes heavy damage in i19, as does Skyway in the i20 TF.
Kings and Talos take moderate hits themselves.
These events don't "stick"; Skyway is all fixed again by the time you exit the mission. It's both cool to see the devastation, but at the same time the instancing renders everything pointless and trivial.
They can "destroy" any zone they want. It doesn't mean anything.

Quote:I too have a large monitor and this problem. I find it helps to use the 'Compatablecursors 1' switch because it has a little more contrast for me.For about a year now, ever since I got my 22" HD monitor, I've had a recurring problem during play. I lose sight of my mouse pointer. There is no graphics glitch or anything, just a white arrow hiding in plain sight somewhere on the large amount of real estate it can occupy.
I'd sign for an option for a bigger pointer and/or the ability to color it. Or even better, make the cursor the inverse color of whatever is beneath it so it always stands out.

Quote:I'm not so sure about that.I think the Floating Fortress belongs to the Sky Raiders/Praetorians - it sees to be a perfect fit.
The Floating Fortress write up made it sound like a new zone with Easter Eggs and fishermen in need of rescue and whatnot. That makes me think it's less likely to be just a mission map.
Doesn't mean it can't be both a new zone and a TF for it, but I hope it's more than just a new TF map.
. -
OK, seriously now, some thoughts:
During the BAF test people found a new mission contact in IP stationed on a battleship. He's tasked with defending our waters. The floating fortress has a good chance of being related to that.
That would suggest that that Fortress is located on Primal Earth.
Since they have a Rift Portal, it could mean these ships are from Praetoria.
It doesn't look like something Cole's forces would have put together (too ramshackle).
Perhaps these are refugees from Praetoria; Resistance or simply people who are not loyal to Cole who have taken to living at sea to escape the Hamidon and have now traveled to Primal Earth to escape Cole's forces. Just because they're not with Cole, they could still be hostile to Primals, Perhaps no government would grant them asylum or they live via piracy and it doesn't matter what world they're stealing from.
If they're not from Praetoria, perhaps they're related to the Sky Raiders, or this is an offshore "rogue state" or some sort.
Lots of possibilities.

Here's some questions for you:
1. Why don't you just ask someone from CapeRadio? Or Jay himself?
2. Why would Jay, even if we ignore him going outside of marketing channels which is a big no-no for the devs, spill info to one global channel on one server?
3. Why would he not once comment on the subject in this thread or anywhere else on the forums?
4. If you answer to the previous question is "he's too busy", then how does he have time to compose elaborate riddles, hang out in a game channel over the course of several days chatting and dropping hints to a handful of players.
5. Why is it harder for you to believe that:
A prankster with an easily falsifiable name and nothing else managed to fool a few people with hints concocted to sound exciting, that people would want to believe, people who then repeated rumors and and snowballed form there as rumors ought.
VS
A senior developer who has shown comparably little interaction with the community on the forums, possibly risked his job to drop hints in the form of elaborate yet misspelled riddles, to a few players on a single server in a closed channel, and has never spoke of it or was seen there since.
. -
Actually, what's more likely is someone created a new, throwaway account with some free GR trial time they had and changed the in-game global name to one that would fool people into thinking it was Sexy Jay.
The person in question was later reported by members of the CapeRadio channel to GMs, and the next night that global named was generic'ed (when a global name is changed everyone in the channel is sent a system message) with dozens of witnesses.
These riddles are guesses and falsehoods. Case closed.

Quote:That's all well and good, but first I'd like the devs to look into why those powers go unclicked.As Positron has been saying, we want to give you reasons to use powers you havent clicked on in a while.
For example, my Unstoppable gathers dust not because there haven't been situations that may call for a Tier 9, but because I think it's a poor power, is designed in such a way that makes people not want to use it and is a joke compared to One with the Shield and Strength of Will. It's a 3 minute delayed suicide button on a long recharge that doesn't help cover the holes in the set it belongs to and frankly is more trouble than its worth.
Another example: I don't use Hand Clap because it's completely counter-intuitive to damage dealing, surviving or tanking. It serves no useful purpose and creating an artificial need for such a power would only anger and annoy me, rather than make me want to use it.
. -
Call to Justice, the Hero morality power, isn't showing the damage buff when you activate it.
[Edit] And now it's working correctly. I can't seem to recreate what I was seeing.

Quote:Ghostbusters is due an anmiated reboot. Extreme Ghostbusters didn't really count as it was more of a belated continuation. It even had an episode with the original four back together for one last mission, with the surviving voice actors in their old roles.He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002)
Transformers Animated
TMNT
GI Joe: Resolute
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
I'm hard-pressed to think of a single instance where an 80s cartoon property was rebooted and it wasn't handled with care--and, dare I say it, sometimes came out a lot better than the source material.

Quote:Woah now, I didn't say anything about really really hard content. Wanting multiple Incarnates being harder for people to have doesn't automatically translate to harder content. Getting tons of badges (some people view as an accomplishment) may not always involve difficult tasks but it is "hard" in that its time consuming. Thus, most people who care have one "badge character" they go to the trouble for.I wouldn't have a problem with really really hard content to unlock incarnate slots/power but we both know this isn't the case. Time=/difficulty. This is what I hate and like others I hope it's just a stopgap fix till I20 comes out.
I think having an Incarnate should involve more than simply running the Trial or WST enough times on each of your multiple 50's.
Years ago, I wished Incarnates would be implemented as a EAT that you had to unlock and could only have one of. I don't think there should be hundreds of Incarnates running around Atlas Park at any given time. I don't think vast numbers of gag-characters and ERP toons should be Incarnates.
I think the current overall effort involved to get one Incarnate is mostly fine, but it should be much "harder" (ie not encouraging or maybe even discouraging) to have many Incarnates, especially in such a short time.
. -
I wish there was more time gating going on, or at least, in a slightly different manner from what they are doing now.
If I could do one thing, I'd make the WST/Notice of the Well a once-a-week gobal per account. Meaning, you pick the character you want advance for that week.
Incarnates are supposed to be special. I don't think every single character should be an Incarnate. Someone having a stable of Incarnates should be very, very difficult and focusing on growing one character should be encouraged above that.
I don't think the Incarnate system should discriminate against soloists vs people who like to team, but it should be a considerable accomplishment to have an Incarnate and the decision to have one of your 50's undertake the Incarnate path shouldn't be taken lightly.

Quote:They most likely don't. Arcanaville pointed out how unlikely that would be, and in this case I'm inclined to agree.But given that there are 10 total slots coming out that seems excessive especially if all of them gave level shifts.
IMO, most likely we'll get another Shift with the Omega slot and that'll be it.
. -
I don't think the Very Rares are worth it.
Looking at the numbers for example, it looks to me the biggest leap in power will be going from Uncommon to Rare simply because of the level shift.
In the case of a character I decked out with an Rare Musculature, they'll only gain maybe 4-5% more damage moving up to a Very Rare, if my numbers are right. Unless the Very Rares are sporting a +2 Level Shift (un-freakin' likely) it seems very anticlimactic considering how much more the Very Rares require.
IMO, they're just not worth it unless the Very Rares ignored ED completely or granted an additional level shift or something.

I got my Well Notices for this week already. I lucked out and found a decent team that was doing runs on their alts.
If the devs roll back the update because of this bug and I have to run the worthless piece of crap that is the STF a half dozen more times to re-earn my Rare Alphas, I'm going to ****ing walk.

It's interesting how Red Caps can be "elves" around Christmas and "goblins" in the Spring.
Versatile little critters.
I was getting so sick of these Winter Snaptooth missions. It'll be good to do something completely different like Spring Snaptooth missions for a change.

Quote:One can't point to definitive dates because this wasn't just like flipping a switch and them saying "OK, we're going to draw and write like this from right now on".Generally the Golden Age is considered to have ended in the late 40's, with virtually all super-hero comics canceled except the 6 featuring DCs big 3. The Silver Age starts in '56, and between the two would be, I suppose, the dark ages....
Showcase #4 is the accepted 'start' of the Silver Age but, there's so much bleed and gradient before and after that clearly defined ending and beginning dates are meaningless.
In determining what's Golden Age and what's Silver Age, it's far more important to look at the content; art and writing styles, rather than the cover date, determine what age something most belongs to.

Quote:People forget how badass some Golden Age heroes were. The Angel from Marvel Comics precursor Timely Comics for example.The Silver Age is where most of the well-known cheese comes from, not the Golden Age, which has an entirely different sort of cheese (mainly consisting of Designated Heroes being absolutely brutal to villains, even normal human thugs). To contrast: Silver Age cheese would be Superman being a jerk to Jimmy Olsen in order to protect his secret identity or to teach him a lesson; Golden Age cheese would be Superman threatening to throw a wife-beating man out the window if he doesn't stop, or in several cases actually killing criminals with no repercussions (either legal or ethical).
Imagine Batman, in baby blue tights and red cape. lol, amirite?
Now imagine that instead of traveling the world to gain his skills, he was raised as a child in prison and learned them from thugs, thieves and murderers. He fights crime not because his parents were murdered, but because he's bored and it's a sport to him. Now imagine that he's so badass he doesn't bother wearing a mask or hide his identity as a well-known billionaire, because if anyone comes after him, he caves their head in.
If you're a crook and he wants information from you, he'll hide in the back seat of your car, put you in a choke hold and when you tell him what he wants, he'll snap your neck for good measure. If you come at him with a knife, he'll shoot you in the face with a Colt 45 before you can blink. Oh, and he's got magic cape that lets him fly, but he rarely uses it because he doesn't need it.

Further more, I might actually bother rolling an AR character if it had more dakka like Santa Supes had. The Syndicate Chaingun temp power from GR is a good start...if they duct taped two more to it plus a grenade launcher and mounted it to a steadicam harness.
