    I think if the issue of defeat itself is a problematic one for Loves a Challenge, then Loves a Challenge itself would have to be completely redesigned, probably by adding a completely different challenge component.
    That's why I included #3 about changing it so that whole league isn't penalized for the defeat of one....or more

    There can't be a no death restriction for the entire trial due to the constant rad pulse, inevitably someone is bound to perish from it.

    Like movies where all the funny parts are in the trailer only..

    Undercover Brother,
    most of the Rob Schiender Movies,
    most of SNL movies in general..

    are all victim to this.. (for the most part)
    Speaking of Rob Schneider, we must add the Stallone Judge Dredd movie to this list.

    Only good SNL movie was Coneheads.

    All Bayformers movies had better trailers.

    Terminator 3: trailer was better. Movie wasn't awful, but wasn't as good as T1 or 2.

    Blade Trinity

    Superman Returns

    Batman Forever/Batman And Robin

    Conan the Destroyer sorry Ahnold but the first was way better

    Time Rider

    Star trek Generations

    Thanks
    I dont think they have released Mids Hero Planner for ish 21 yet, BUT with the current mids I think you could make a katana willpower scrapper build and try some design ideas on it then switch it to a brute build when the new mids comes out.

    So these are the changes I'm thinking of for Keyes:

    1. When Antimatter starts his regen cycle; neither disintegration NOR the obliteration beam will fire due to the time freeze and they cannot fire until he is finished regenerating or his regen is interrupted.

    2. Loves a Challenge should be stripped of the no death clause, period. Wouldn't it be challenging enough to not smash the terminals and let Antimatter fully regenerate without the no death clause? Also didn't the devs state sometime ago that there would be no more "no death" clause badges?

    3. Instead of idea #2; adjust Loves a Challenge so that if someone does perish that the whole league isn't penalized.

    4. Adjust Avoid Green Stuff so that the whole league isn't penalized. last night we would have gotten it but someone decided to put "be stupid" on their list of things to do at that moment and turned on their fly power. This resulted in the circle appearing over the heads of some of us and by the time we realized it....too late.

    5. Bunker Buster: eh, no major gripes about that badge. As a suggestion, tweaking it to smashing all three doors in FIVE seconds instead of three may not be bad. Still a good chance of failing it as someone may get to trigger happy or someone decides to NOT LISTEN to the orders of "stay away from all the bunkers until the bunk buster sub team is FINISHED" (this happened the other night, the person was subsequently voted OUT of the league)

    6. Anti-Anti Matter: no change needed for that.

    Given that Antimatter can still defeat the league when people are being disintegrated thus healing him thus making him nigh invincible, I don't really see the above ideas nerfing the trial to the point of making it ridiculously easy.
  10. This happened to me in a Keyes run the other day:

    1. Time frozen by Antimatter
    2. Hit by disintegration as the time freeze occurred, so now I am disintegrating while frozen
    3. In addition to 1 and 2, me and a few others were in the bullseye of the oblit. beam.

    Thanks to that triple whammy we failed the no death criteria for the Challenge badge and of course failed the Avoid badge too.

    So should be Keyes be tweaked so that as Antimatter starts his regen cycle that he cannot cast disintegration and the oblit beam doesn't fire until he is done regenerating?

My movie concept would be to turn everyone into "the ones".
    Well the Oracle did tell Neo that Smith was his equal/opposite to "balance the equation".

    My take is that everytime another "one" is arising, there is an Agent with the "alpha mentality" to make decisions and actions similar to what Smith was doing in the first Matrix such as when he told the others to leave him alone with Morpheus. The other two looked at each other with a silent "whiskey tango foxtrot" expression then left the room. Smith then removes his ear piece and starts speaking rather candidly to Morpheus about how he feels about the Matrix and how he is trapped within. After Neo blew up Smith, the Architect reassembled him and tweaked his power levels, and Smith rejected going in to be erased. What I don't think was part of the plan was for Smith to go totally viral and take over everyone. What Smith did was overwrite himself onto others, but if he could do that, then perhaps Neo could have done something similar or at least mind scanned anyone connected to the Matrix.

All the while showing people the truth behind the matrix and waking them up to the real workings behind their reality.
    Hm, given that Neo was the One or more accurately the 6th One per the Architect, and he can supposedly warp and change the matrix at will, and everyone is mind plugged into the Matrix....could Neo have had the ability to tap into the minds of anyone plugged in and never realized it?

    Neo never really did figure out the full scope of his powers and by the time he came close to doing so it was the end.

    Wasn't necessarily referring to war/economics, thanks.

    How about ships with a strong structure to handle the speeds, how about something like Star Trek's navigational deflector shield that sweeps space debris away from the ship as it travels to avoid collisions (force = mass times acceleration, etc), life support for the crew, methods to keep the crew from having "cabin fever" on excessively long trips even at FTL speeds.

    Remember the old Rock Hudson movie the Martian Chronicles? If my memories are correct, the martians killed the initial explorers, but the bacteria/germs they brought with them on their bodies that is harmless to us was lethal to the Martians and they all died off. So what happens when we set foot on one of the Earth type planets we've been finding of late? Will the mere presence of us being on that planet kill off some or all of it's life due to simple bacteria/germs from us that are harmless to us? or will something from that planet prove to be anthema to us? Only way to find out is to get there, of course
  17. Didn't also prior to Keyes trial being released that they wouldn't put in any more "No Defeat" badges?

    I agree that the no defeat clause for the MO's should be tweaked so that the whole team isn't penalized for someone getting defeated.

    But we have many problems to deal with before we reach for the stars like that.
  19. Solved it. Problem was some file corruption. Replaced the file and it works.

    If we manage to break the light speed barrier, then I'd have only this to say;

    "Mr. Scott! We'll be going to WARP SPEED!" "Aye, sir!"
  21. I used the old playerslots.txt file for the other servers to keep my characters on servers in a certain order but this doesn't seem to work on Exalted. Any tips on how to lock the order of my characters for that server so that they don't reorganize every time?

    The PB Changes

    My perm lightform Kheld triformer does quite well, just have to monitor the crash health/stamina drop and adjust accordingly. The other night he was in a run for the Lamba badge that required obtaining ALL the temps and using none (badge name eludes me). We won it.

    My PB was going toe to toe with Marauder during the fight and doing quite well. I was dropped 5 times due to a combination of not quite getting out of range of his nova fist in time and before I could hit a heal power the adds blasted me. So after the 5th time I was dropped I got to a safe spot, let hasten and lightform reactivate then decided to hit the tray button I setup for all my khelds that transforms them to dwarf mode as they speak the magic words: "Gone! Gone the form of man, arise the Kheldian; KHELDIGRAN!" At that point Marauder wasn't really able to get me and I was easily going toe to toe with him to the end.

    Errors such as this can and have happened with me on all the trials, however Lambda seems most prone to it.

    Also locking the league still appears to be bugged causing team rosters to become scattered upon league entry.

    The other player also said something very strange and disturbing - s/he first got the name Dawn of Time around the same time I did - within 15 minutes of Exalted going live. As far as I can tell, that means one of three things:

    1) The other player is fibbing, which I don't think is the case since there is no reason to,
    2) The other player and I snagged the name at EXACTLY the same instant, and it somehow allowed us both to have it, the odds against which are astronomical, or

    3) The name reserve system was/is somehow allowing two people to reserve the same name.

    If possibilty #3 is what happened, that could mean that anyone could lose any name at any point they remake a character that someone else snagged the same name on.

    Anyway, back to name watching...


    P.S.: What you described in your items 1-6 is exactly what I experienced too, Selenir.
    It's more likely that when Exalted came online it was immediately inundated and overloaded with people making toons to lock in names and the system couldn't process/check all the names at that time as efficiently as it normally does.

    If you were totally polite in your inquiry/request and THAT was their response then you might be able to take the matter up to support level. They may not do anything but that kind of response from them wasn't needed. A polite refusal should suffice.
