    I would. Wanna know what struck the final hit to that nail?

    When I started Heather Townshend's arc on my TW/WP villain and was presented with two options:

    Quote:
    "I'm here to save the day."
    "I'll be playing the role of the hero."
    After that I stopped reading and just played the arc for its rewards. If the writing team cared at all they wouldn't have cornholed villains into being heroes.

    AGAIN.

    At least they put it in the very first thing you did, rather than dump it on you five SSA's later.

    I thought the exact same thing. I don't know if it's just me but Issue 22 has really taken the cake for showing just how little the writing team cares.
  4. When you see one of those black-on-white oval car stickers that says "DA" and wonder what melee set the driver paired with dark armor.

    No. It's not. Don't compare this game to WoW; you'll find more parity comparing apples and sheet rock.

    Screen Recorder

    Screenflow is my choice. It's very efficient; lets me run Ultra settings and record with no framerate drop. The link in my sig (Dark Armor is a Complete Waste as a Tanking Set) is a demonstration of Screenflow's power.

  8. Thanks for the info, folks. Had no idea the arcs could be repeated in Ouro. Pity there's no option to redo them in DA itself, but that's good info! Thanks kindly!
  9. So... there are four arcs in DA right now, each of them with an Incarnate-geared reward table.

    Are these four arcs the only shots we get at getting components via the Incarnate Component reward table selection? After these, is the only other option Ephram Sha's "daily" mishes?

    That's not a problem with the game, that's a problem with you.

    No thanks. The less Valve is involved, the better. I don't want all future Costume Packs to contain nothing but hats.

    That doesn't hold any water. We ARE getting something we didn't have before and Blueside did: a victory.

    And now that we have it, everyone over in the good-guy zone is ticked? Please.

I thought the point of bringing up problems of villain presentation was to fix villain presentation, not to make hero presentation equally as crap. And, by the way, for all the "victories" people keep citing as villains having won, not one is an actual victory for the actual player villain involved in it. It's a victory for some NPC's grand scheme that you get to mooch off of. Dean McArthur and Vincent Ross are pretty much the closest the game's come to giving villains a clear win, and it is, consequently, the most satisfying I've left a story arc since Time After Time.
    Let's think about this here, Sam. If the villains are winning, and the content is NOT co-op, can the heroes win too? No. Either heroes win, or the villains win. Can't have both.

    For years the villainside content has been bland, constantly offering that your character is just a lackey to the NPCs, and 90% of the time the villain content ends up with being losing (often times to your FREAKING CONTACT) or being told to wait.

    Heroes have always had the satisfaction of saving the day, even when they don't get to save ALL of the day.

    What bugs me is, now that heroes got a taste of how it felt to play villainside, they all got their undies in a wad and demanded that this never happen again.

    I'll ask again: Disparity much?


  13. UPMOST?

    That is not the word you are looking for.
  14. So villains have been getting crapped on since I6, and now that the heroes take one good hit everyone's up in arms?

    Disparity much?

    He does. Grav/FF. Magnificently played, too. It was a BLAST to RP with him, since I was fighting alongside HARRY FREAKING DRESDEN.

    What if the person claiming it has never seen a Catalyst before? They won't know. That's a flat argument and you know it.

    The question / topic in particular I had in mind was in regard to the fact that beast mastery was coming Soon!™ and I have toons that are befitting that AT but are currently utilizing other ATs..

    So, the question I pose to you is this ;
    would you re-roll a toon that you had years of work / badges / accomplishments / etc. put into so that you could better match their name to a new AT ?

    for example ; re-roll Super Beastlord the Tanker with 6 years of accomplishments into brand spanking new Super Beastlord the Beastmaster MM ?
    Yes. I rerolled (renamed, really) my 50 Pistol/Kin (fully IO'd) to Pistol/Time because it fit the character better.

  21. I know that at least one known Virtue-ite has passed away recently, but several? That sounds... not right.
