Uh huh. He better bring his offensive line with him - they're the true source of his power to work miracles.

Good point.

You know, now that you mention it - I bet that's a spoiler too. He's going to get killed by generic robot dude.

Now wait just a minute.

A monster that no one ever heard of crawled up out of the ground with no explanation and then went on a rampage destroying things for no apparent reason and Superman and the monster beat each other to death.

That's a great comic?

I don't know if they would or wouldn't - but it seems like they would almost have to keep the legacy bases alive in some capacity - even if they made them uneditable - in order to avoid hurting player relations too much. This assumes that they don't come to the conclusion that it's just not worth it and they don't do a new system at all. Which is not safe to assume, but it's pointless to even bother discussing, otherwise.

I thought about that, but it's possible that under the new system you wouldn't need to rebuild those from salvage - because let's face it, the idea of building base items out of salvage is a crap idea, anyway.

Question not just for you, but for others that feel this way - I myself have a couple of bases that I wouldn't want to see destroyed, but I think I'd be okay with the following alternative. Do you think this would be acceptable?:

- Brand new shiny base editor that can do all the great things we've wanted for years replaces the old system.
- Once the new system is live, no new bases can be created with the legacy system.
- Keep the legacy bases, with the ability to modify them using the legacy tools - and the understanding that no new features will be added to the legacy base editor (bug fixes will still be done).
- Allow base editors who have built bases under the legacy system to delete those bases and replace them with bases designed with the new system. Once the legacy base is deleted, though, there is no going back to it. (as mentioned above we would need a way to easily and reliably transport stored items from legacy base to new base)

What's interesting to me is that now that I have typed all that up and read it back, I realize that given that system, I am almost certain that I would voluntarily tear down my old base and rebuild it.

I know that not everyone will feel this way, but I'm interested to hear if anyone would be opposed to a solution like this, keeping in mind that without a new base editor we are unlikely to see any significant improvements at all.

Coincidentally, My girlfriend and I watched both the newer version and the 1981 version on Saturday. I agree with Lothic here - the original was vastly superior in every way, with the unfair exception of special effects. But even there, the original made better use of what was available at the time than the newer film did.

To me, the newer film felt more like a generic action hero in a generic action movie - there was nothing interesting or special about Conan as a character. Nothing in this film even came remotely close to the original film's "Conan, what is best in life?" and "Grant me revenge! And if you don't listen, then to Hell with you!" and on and on...

I could go on for hours about all the reasons the original was better, but I will spare you the rest of the rant.

That works perfectly for me. I've marked my calendar. Thanks for putting this together and I look forward to seeing you there!

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

D&B was great. We had a really good time. I would absolutely attend another such event.

I would be less enthusiastic about doing a movie since that is more time spent watching a movie and less time meeting and hanging out with cool gamers.

But yeah, count me in. I'm good for pretty much any Saturday after the first week of Feb.

Edit:

I think keeping it to a single day event would be easier.

As far as increasing the attendance, it's been my experience that the best way to get a lot of people is to have a solid plan and say "this is what we're doing, this is when, this is where - be there!" When you have that kind of solid plan, and advertise it, you'll get a good turnout most of the time. If you spend a lot of time trying to hammer out the plan in an open forum, you get too many cooks in the kitchen and things can fall apart.

I'm happy to advertise this on the LiveJournal City of Heroes community as well. There are a good number of locals in that comunity (SpaceNut is one of them) who I think will be interested in attending.

You misunderstand. When I said "you misunderstand" I obviously meant "I can't read" >.>

This is exactly what I run on all my systems. Good stuff.

.....

What I meant was that I'm blind or can't read.

Yep, same for me. Receive newsletter is marked as "Yes" on my account, my email address is correct (and I do receive support emails when I raise an incident, etc), and I have all @ncsoft.com emails marked as safe.

I have not received a newsletter or promotional email in a very long time.

I never got anything but I can't believe this was supposedly sent out much earlier than Nov 29, since the Weekly Strike Targets listed start with Nov 29.

Great, now I have that music stuck in my head.

Jay is still there - at least he was when they had that 12 hour Ustream marathon a month or so back.

I think they might keep him on a much shorter leash, at least with regards to forum posting. His posts were too sexy.

Isn't there already one with Shatner?

Edit: There is. He's a Shaman. I won't link it for obvious reasons but you know where to find it.

In slow motion, of course.
