Quote:welcome to Failville, population YOU.
"We wanted to tell a story that's hip, sexy and moody," said DC Comics' co-publisher Dan DiDio.
Superman is inherently un-hip, inherently un-sexy and as for moody, that's what the Fortress of Solitude is for.
If you want to tell a 'hip, sexy, moody' story find an appropriate character, or create one. Don't shoehorn in the least appropriate guy in your entire catalog. -

I think a lot of it depends on how much you're doing literally the same task/mission/foes over and over. It's one reason that, since I16's difficulty settings, I rarely touch my honest to goodness farms. Even though it's still the same basic actions, different foes do call for slightly different tactics (especially if you're playing near the ragged edge of what you can handle, which I try to to). Switching it up a little among foes goes a long way in keeping me from getting bored really quickly.
It's not as ruthlessly efficient as just resetting the same map full of pushover enemies again and again, but it keeps things fresher. -

More than three quarters of the player base likely has no idea about what this badge even is or means.
I'm fairly well read and a longtime nerd in good standing and I had no idea what GG was on about before this thread. -

Evil characters, not heroes.
And since comics are like soap operas, there are examples of villains-turned-hero and vice versa scattered about. Not to mention "heroes" of the Punisher variety who are basically mass murderers.
"it isn't true to the source material" is probably the lamest argument you could trot out against that badge. -

Not that people who complain about purple drop rate would listen to me (or anyone else), but for those of you who are reading this thread and don't know this yet.... selling purple drops are not a good way to make money in this game.

burned off my weekly billion, we're up to #16.

Quote:The genre features characters that destroy worlds.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
What have they got to do with the game giving superheroes a badge linking their actions with a crime against humanity?
There's nothing 'out of place' about a badge title that you think is "creepy". -
I picked up a stack of Goo tonight for 700k- w00t!

Quote:You mean the genre that features characters like Galactus, Darksied, Thanatos, Phoenix, etc?Originally Posted by Golden Girl
It's nopt creepy as in ghosts and things, it's creepy as in being an uncomfortable and out fo place reference in a superhero game.
Huh, interesting point of view! -
well I think we should all start at level 50.
So there! -

Quote:How, "cannot replicate"?Originally Posted by Eiko-chan
My objection to veteran rewards is based on a simple principle: I am utterly against veterans getting abilities other players cannot replicate.
I got my junk by staying subscribed for a very long time, they can do the same.
There are plenty of in-game rewards I "cannot replicate" thanks to a restricted and unpredictable play schedule...that doesn't mean the players who do shouldn't have them.
Vet rewards are another path of 'advancement', one of many in the game.
It is one of the more egalitarian paths in the game, requiring nothing more than maintaining an active game sub to achieve.
You make a bunch of fairly perilous leaps of logic there, and I fear you didn't quite clear that last gorge.Quote:"Nice little bonuses that give you abilities/options completely new", on the other hand, are divisive and destructive; especially at this late date, new players aren't going to see a 6+ year reward as something "great to look forward to", but something they will never get, thus making veterans "better" than them. -
Quote:I didn't miss the point, I'm mocking it for being ridiculous.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
You've totally missed the point again - the badge name is offensive because it's totally unsuitable for a game, especially a superhero one - it's being used in a approving way, which is totally wrong.

Stalker gets my vote for laid-back soloing.
Nobody bothers you unless you want them to, pick your targets, take them down fast, stealth missions if you feel like it.
Very relaxing. -

Thanks for that link Nether. I am seriously thinking of buying it to use as a teaching tool for my children. Nothing like showing how dangerous a closed mind can be when it is given room to work.
Some interesting historical context there as well. -

Not Rumor: It will epically suck, like every other Lucas project of the modern era.

I still think the pack's overpriced.
Perception of value is a personal thing. -

Quote:OMG you can buy it from Amazon!Originally Posted by Golden Girl
There is totally no need at all to have the Halloween witch badge called "Malleus", and the devs really need to change it to something suitable that isn't sick and creepy - just like they managed to name every single other supernatural themed badge in the game without making them sick or creepy.
BOYCOTT!!1111

I just ignore everything that unlocks with the exception of the Talsorian Katana that I ground out on my kat/regen.
Sometimes I get this or that on a random character, but I don't put any energy into it.
If junk unlocked globally I'd probably pay more attention to earning it. -
I have a handful of alts parked ~20 because I haven't spent picks on fitness and don't want to have to respec them after I19.
Can't wait! -
My defining memory of the Walkman Era is rewinding cassettes by sticking a #2 pencil through the spindle and whirling them around by hand to save the batteries.
RIP Sony Walkman, long live its spiritual MP3 offspring! -

You can keep responding to me all you like, my dear little goat. But since I can't see your posts...kinda a bit moot, don't ya think?

Don't forget the parts where I like eating tin cans and drinking cups filled with the tears of marketphobes.Quote:Oh, and I like in your profile how you state you hate poor people.
My profile is totally serious and stuff, and not a satire of my reputation in some quarters. Totally. -
pretty much the best screen name ever.
