This is about the only real 'rule' I have for myself. I'm also with the people who said they'll delete a character if they'd work better as something else, and I've done it with characters up to 40 or so.

And back then, Nemesis Staff was a targeted AoE. Mere words cannot express the glory. As soon as I got it, my characters would go to Crey's Folly and just flip out on everything, gaining several levels in the process.

That's generally my problem with it, though. Why even call it a Battleship movie? Just about any movie with boats fighting at some point could theoretically be The Battleship Movie. The source material is so nonexistent that trying to claim the two are related at all pretty much screams, "We're really just hoping you'll be nostalgic enough for Battleship to give us $10 for a movie ticket!"

Well, also remember, half a year after launch is a lot different than somebody joining for half a year now. Facts like 'Stamina is usually very nice to have; you need to take two other Fitness powers first, though' and 'don't kill debuff anchors' and 'X mob is annoying, kill/mez it first' hadn't had time to become widespread. I didn't know you could slot more than one of an enhancement type for months after joining, so my attacks were all 1 acc/1 dmg/1 recharge/1 endredux/1 defdebuff. My friend's level twenty-something Scrapper had four travel powers and two powers from her primary. And I personally did see a lot more horrible team wipes in the early days of the Hollows than Hydra-sweeping in PP.

These were pretty much my thoughts, yeah. And it did pretty good at that.

Overall, I liked the movie. It felt a bit crammed, like it could have been broken into two separate movies and still had problems fitting everything in. At the same time, that gave it a bit of a hectic energy, where even calm scenes felt fast-paced... which is really pretty fitting, considering the subject matter and all.

Didn't Snakes On A Plane already teach us that having a lot of support from geeks and the internet translates to approximately zilch as far as box office numbers?

Yeah. Through the trailer, before they flashed the title, everybody I looked at had kind of a '... is this serious?' look on their face. Then the title and director flashed and the entire theater burst out laughing. (I like to consider this a sign that it was a geeky crowd.) It needs to be subtitled "Devil: Yes, This Is Actually A Movie We Decided To Make."

Nah, in the really really old days, Forcefields was all the rage. Empathy took over a month or two later, and its reign was long and terrible.

These are pretty much my thoughts. There are certain MMOs I'd be playing on and off if they didn't have built-in voice chat.

Will the Duke boys make this jump?

Find out after the commercials, folks.

This is awesome.

I dunno, Moment of Glory is, well, glorious. But I have recently rediscovered the wonder that is Soul Transfer. I've since stopped seeing the occasional death as a setback on that character and started seeing it as a chance for "watch this." MoG vs. Soul Transfer... that's a tough choice.

Does this encourage you?

The crashing nukes are kinda lackluster by comparison to things like Shield Charge/Lightning Rod/Rain of Arrows. On the other hand, if every Blaster, Defender, and Corruptor ended up getting access to a crashless nuke like that... well, teams would get a little silly. I already end up getting bored to tears when I'm teamed with a few Shield Charge-spammers (in its current Live version,) since 90% of any given spawn evaporates in the first two seconds of a fight. Crashless nukes are nice powers when there's one or two of them on the team, but it just gets ridiculous with much more than that.

Varies a lot, then. I can't find any hard numbers on mission complete bonuses, and I haven't paid much attention to them on teams, but my own experiments with them solo showed that they were usually comparable to the XP from killing a spawn or two.

Obviously the devs should put fake stuff along this lines in the patch notes every issue just to keep people who don't check values happy.

"Lowered recharge on Adrenalin Boost from 10 decades to 300 seconds."

Big media companies being horrible at adjusting to how the internet impacts the world? Why, I never.

Have a thing for llamas, do you?

Ooh, ooh, I like combining it with the GvE jetpack. That lets you just do infinite backflips as your travel power.

This is the big one that'll give you more power unless you go for the softcap or something. It's not overwhelming, but having a little more accuracy/recharge/endurance in pretty much every power goes a long way, and it's pretty dirt cheap. Plus, frankenslotting can save you slots, which can then be used for other IOs...

Wait, when did this happen?

Heresy.

They're probably out there if you want them, I guess. But I'm on a PUG on Virtue pretty much every night, and it's been literally months since I saw somebody RP'ing on one beyond having a battle cry or just putting everything they say in (( )) (and not saying a thing in-character.) And I get away from Atlas Park and into the high-level zones as quick as I can. Virtue's probably the place to go if you want RP, but conversely, if you don't want to RP, you'll barely notice it unless you hang out in Pocket D or join a supergroup.
