There is already plenty of easier content. Variety is spice, and it's good to see some new challenging content.
Also, when the new players get out of Praetoria at 20, they are going to feel VERY strong compared to the normal content. -
There were so many things I wanted to pick, but this won out for great animation, storyline, and overall fun.

Playing this arc is like stepping into an old school hardboiled dectective film and you are the detective. . -
"Flash Step" effects for teleportation, please.

Quote:Stronger creatures should not necessarily be harder to get, but they should be harder to PLAY (or have other drawbacks, like a short duration, that balance their strengths).Originally Posted by The Lone Hero
It's only natural that I should make the stronger creatures harder to get, if I don't then what's stopping people from packing their decks with nothing but strong creatures since they'll be as easy to get as the weaker ones?
Cards that LOOK brokenly powerful, but which are actually balanced, drive sales (or so I would think). They shouldn't be so common that they get boring, but prevalent enough that you don't have to buy six boxes to get one; most people won't bother, and just won't play against GM decks if it's that way. -

Johnny is the creative and inventive player type, Timmy likes to go for the most powerful effects simply because they are big and shiny, Spike is the serious competitive player.

Ah, thanks. Now that I understand you, I think you might be wrong.
Wouldn't Johnny work to be creative within whatever framework is presented?
Having read the article, I myself am totally a Johnny (why are they all male names? I know, just musing). -
Pick any 'clearly tech/gadget' related powerset/animation, and give it a set of 'mystical' animations. Please start with the medicine pool.
Imagine Assault Rifle as a 'wizard staff' power set with 'magic missles' replacing the bullets, Force Field with a 'magic warding circle' animation, or radiation with a variety of 'binding chains' animations and effects.
Then you can do tech versions of some of the magic stuff, like zombies that break out of glass 'specimen' tubes, or demons that appear from Stargates.
But after that, basically, origin-inspired alternate animations for all powersets.
Also put me down for a 'more boring' set of dual pistols animations appropriate for pirates and cowboys.
Is changing hit effects on the table? It would be great to have a stun that replaced the model of the victim (turning them into a frog, for instance) for the duration.
Don't use this as an excuse to delay having a 'staff melee' powerset!
Please.

Three types of player? Please elucidate. Is one of the types "Mr. Suitcase"?

Quote:Rarity can be a good balancer if you enforce it at the 'per deck' rather than the 'per player' level.Originally Posted by Manofmanychars
So yeah, having a game be based around whether or not you can find the randomly-distributed "I win" card is a bad idea.
For instance, What if you are allowed 20 Level 1 cards per deck, 10 level 2s, 5 level 3s? -
In the (KITTEH!!) category, I'd like to humbly present:

BlueBattler asked whether the Joker would be considered "insane" in a legal sense.
-
If you have ever read "The Killing Joke", then you know Batman's take: he beleives the Joke chose to go insane, rather than face reality, and therefore is personally responsible for his choices.
However, it is also DC canon (arguably) that the Joker is too crazy to realize his actions have 'real' consequences...he may be 'aware' that he is a comic book character and thus that any killing he does can be blamed on the author (or ultimately, the audience).
But you cannot blame Batman any more than you can blame every police officer who has ever had a felon guilty of a capital offense at gunpoint and did not pull the trigger.
However, this is very interesting. If only there were some kind of interactive setting (maybe an electronic one) where one could explore the morality of possibly supporting a corrupt system versus the possible necessity of committing murder to protect the innocent... -
Balance question: If cards of levels 1-3 all have the same cost, why ever play a level 1 card? Rarity?

Somewhere along the way, they've pretty much said that would never happen again.
If you want a name and its taken, its probably on an inactive alt on an active account. -

Rise from your graves!
Stories that take place 'in the past' should weave themselves around known events but be plausible and not displace known canon, unless that is the point of the story, in which case it better be a darn good reason.
Most stories should take place in the present, anyway.
If you want Spidey to seperate from MJ, just have him do it in a plausible way that is an outgrowth of current events or events you orchestrate as the writer. If you can't think of a plausible way to do it now or in the future, then don't do it.
At least the horrifying Clone Saga proceeded from a specific established plot point in the past (that Spider-Man chose not to find out whether the original or clone survived the fight). -
With me, it's make a new alt so that I can think about the story from a new perspective (RPing in my own head) and handle challenges with different tools. The Duke of Earl is fun to play for a different reason than Old Fossil or Daisy Dukes, even though they are all Tankers, for instance.
While playing CoX (in Windowed Mode), I tab out to Facebook and the CoX Forums mostly. I don't do voice stuff since my headset broke,but I'll get back around to it some day. -

No one's actually inside The Destroyer, it just needs someone's life force transferred into it.

Thanks for pointing this out!
