Very interesting.

My only familiarity with GL comes from animated shows...

Thinking about this question, I realized that anything the ring constructs is still attached to the ring via a strand of energy.

That might just be for the visual representation of the rings power, and in the comics he can create objects that aren't tethered to the ring, that I'm unsure about.
I'm sure somone knows the answer to that.

If it is always attached to the ring though...

Also, just an observation. From that panel with the popcorn, are we sure he manifested the popcorn and isn't just passing some real popcorn they had via the ring?

Not exactly like Green Latern. His source of power is the chunks of meteor he absorbed. After extending himself for an extended period of time his powers start to fade, unless he comes into contact with more of the meteor. Which comes in the form of a rather large chunk carried by Bill Cosby.

Brief exposure to this chunk seems to revitalize his powers fully for some time. However it's suggested that it is indeed temporary and, without the chunk to recharge with...
Doesn't help that an ensuing struggle ends up causing the remainder of the chunk to be absorbed either.

While true that he isn't very skilled with his powers, it is due to the limited nature of it, making it not something you can practice with much. That and the fact that Jeff really wasn't into comics at all. Still far more useful than Blankman's skill set.

(Meteor Man sits proudly in my DvD collection, one of my favorites growing up. )

Thanks for stating the obvious...

As my suggestion has been made, oh something in the order of once a month for the last 7 years, this is less a suggestion and more an inquiry into what other things we want for the new 4-leg rig.

Hence my posting it here, the general discussion section, you know to generate discussion where the most people will see it, now with the added benefit of all access as well.

Now turn off the police siren and get back to being productive you! :P

For literal years I've wanted something in this game that I've always been told simply wasn't possible without major work.

Well, the major groundwork has now been done so the main reason it wouldn't be done is gone.

We have a 4-leg skeleton now!!!

I want Dinosaurs. I want an entire lost world.


Here's my idea....

Take Eden and do a little bit of reworking, not much since it already has a primal feel to it. However, the new lore is that a temporal rift has been created by the DE in a failed attempt to restore the Earth to it's pre-human state.

This Rift allows the Jurrasic era to merge with present day Eden. Much like Salamancha and Croatoa. Bringing all manner of Dinosaur into the zone, possibly a volcano etc. With missions to seal the rift etc.
Most of the Dinosaurs are passive, like Sally, only getting aggressive when directly threatened. However keep an eye out for the predatory ones roaming the zone! A T-Rex GM and roaving packs of raptors.

Naturally, this would led to the Prehistoric Cosutme pack. :P

So that's it, give us Dinosaurs with your nifty new 4-legger.


Any interest in this or am I alone? Anything else you'd like to see the new skeleton used for?

Meteor Man by a longshot. Minus the fear of heights naturally. :P

To me, it's that Z feels like 'just one of us' but with the inside scoop. His easy going personality also makes the other dev's personalities come through.

Being your 1st MM, I'd go with Dark for sure.

Create a GoTo macro;
/macro goto, petcomall goto

This will let you have even more control over your minions. I found it a must on my Necro/Dark. Using it, I became an ambush predator. Luring huge mobs around corners into my waiting cadre of cannibals and tar patch.

Also, right click on the follow macro and change it to defensive. (Unless this is now default, haven't rolled a new one in ages)


I've played: Necro/Dark, Thugs/Traps, Demon/Thermal, Ninjas/Thermal, Bots/Storm
and for the majority of them I found it much more effective to avoid BG mode until level 40+ and just keep them in passive all the time, unless directly attacking something. This keeps them more in control and allows you to have more direction on the speed of encounters, either massing all pets on one target or spreading them out etc.

Roll a few and experiment with various playstyles. I'm sure you'll find something that works for you.

I'll take it on one condition....


It has to have a jungle setting with Dinosaurs! (No more we can't do that without a 4-leg rig excuses!!!!)

Obviously thats the SuperHero known as Ultra-Balance Man on the phone with his dry cleaners asking why his suit is taking so long.

While it is an interesting concept on the outside, and one that'd I'd enjoy experiementing with, I doubt it'd be feasible without a great deal of work.

IIRC, most enemies in the game only have 3 or 4 attacks plus the added ranged attack even at level 50. As giving them the full range of attacks a player has would make it not so fun.

So you'd end up having a very limited number of powers you could actually use from encounter to encounter. Certain situations would arise, where you had nothing but brawl to use as a result.

Then, as you mentioned, you have the opposite end of the spectrum. AV's and GM's all have unique attacks with unique values to them. You'd either have to make AV's and GM's be immune to the entire set/ which wouldn't go over so well. Or make the mimic'd powers far less effective.

Interesting concept. I just can't see it working with the game mechanics.

What's Terranova? :P

Seriously, Jurassic Park is my all time favorite movie/book and when I heard about Speilberg doing this...

I realized before I finished the article, that I'd want to stay away from it as one of two things would most likely happen;
A) I'd get really into it and have it jerked away ala No Ordinary Family.
B) It'd end up being an elaborate set piece thats rarely seen, in favor of attempting to capture the Lost audience with drama.

Decided I'd pass and just pick up the complete seasons on DvD down the line, if it ends up being worth anything.

Pieces.

Congratulations!!

Freedom really did smooth out the tournament some for you huh! Nice.

I like the new Atlas statue. I just wish whoever redesigned his pedestal hadn't added annoying lips to confound jumping up on it...

Also miss the 4 corner pillars, but time marches forward.
