I don't think there was a question as to if it was WAI, but whether that should be the intent.

I can't see a good enough reason for it being behind the shield, so /signed.

Uhm, been away for a while? They've redone Burn to no longer cause fear. It's also front loaded for damage now.

To the OP. Well, it's the wrong forums, but I'll just muddy the water some more by saying this:

My Elec/Fire brute has been a blast to play. Mostly exotic damage makes for some very deadly DPS. Mix in reactive and another exotic type from Judgment for extra grins.

Also, ask a mod to move this for you.

I'm guessing it has to overcome the stigma of X3. Perhaps too many people remember that atrocity to give this one a chance.

What do you think pessimistic means?

Can you explain why you think he was brain dead?

A teenager worried about the way he looks!? SHOCK!

[/quote]Angel doesn't have enough exposition to justify her going evil[/quote]

In the [maybe] 5 minutes of screen time we know Angel, is there enough to say she wouldn't "go evil?" There's really no build up for her character either way. If you can list enough reasons why you think she was leaning towards a human-mutant peaceful existence, then maybe that complaint can be taken seriously.

Finding a sub, flying in to rescue Havok... yeah, he totally door sat that mission.

It is odd they would break away from the comic book continuity in this way. But then again, Havok's always been a second choice to Cyclops, so I don't think many people care about his character being 100% spot on. Besides, Scott's way too young in the other movies to be a teenager in the 60's. Maybe continuity isn't something you care about, but believe it or not, it is a factor in judging a story's quality.

His character screamed Red Shirt to me. I'd agree it's somewhat of a concern that the only black mutant to remain on the good team is killed before the real action starts. Then again, maybe it's because nerd fans would rage all over the internet if you changed an iconic character to black. *shrug*

Considering the first series she hardly spoke much, and didn't have much to her other than being Magneto's whipped companion, this character had MORE to offer. She also embodied the stronger differences between Magneto and Charles.

The most dry acting in the whole movie is who you give the biggest props to? I don't remember the White Queen being completely emotionless. Lacking in compassion, yes. Not void of feeling anything. There was absolutely no difference between JJ's performance here and in Mad Men. Sure, they wrote her doing things Emma would do, but unless she's acting like Emma, it's pretty much a fail.

Overall, I thought the movie did a spectacular job. It certainly raised the bar from the last series. I'd see another if they made one.

I'm seeing this one after work today, so I thought I'd get the general consensus. But knowing Durakken doesn't like it was enough to convince me I should see this movie, and that I'll probably really enjoy it for a lot of good reasons.

Nothing to get sarcastic over. Also, see the search tool. Which as pointed out, I could use too. Or at least, use better.

Fair enough.

I don't think anyone's ever been running the respec trials for merit farming. It's not even time efficient to do so.

Now, if you think the respec mission should always take 41 minutes, then I wouldn't object to doubling the spawns that show up, and halving the wait periods. But that's not really increasing the difficulty. The respec trials we're easy enough long before IOs rolled out, so cutting the spawn times wouldn't really destroy any chance for a respec for new players. As WW pointed out, the odds that they wouldn't have at least one veteran player helping them out are pretty low.

The devs have been treating Alpha differently this whole time. They even went so far as to make Alpha slot salvage easily changeable to newer salvage, but completely avoided getting rid of it altogether. I get the feeling that they like it as it is, an easy intro to Incarnate material. I don't see them making other slots as easy as it.

I'm not saying I agree with all of it, but it makes sense from that standpoint.

I see a slew of complaints coming out in 20.5.

You explained yourself better to me when you told me about this:

Cyan has 35 A-Merits, and he's offering up to 5 MERIT PURCHASES with them.

Different combos include (but are not limited to):

1 PVP IO purchase (30), 1 LotG Proc (2), 1 LotG Proc (2) and a Random Roll (1) = 35 merits spent on 4 Purchases

1 PVP IO purhcase (30), 1 LotG Proc (2), Random Roll (1), Random Roll (1) and a Random Roll (1) = 35 merits spent on 5 Purchases

Considering the starting bid is 3 billion, it's not a bad deal compared to forum trades and market values.

[edit] Oh, and I can vouch for Cyan as a trustworthy in-game trader. He's also an RO member and I'm sure plenty of them would vouch for him too.

Yes, and putting customer's identities at risk for fraud is the best way to teach Sony a lesson.

Maybe in the beginning it did that, but it had good momentum in the second half of the season. With the amount of story behind that plot and the fact that this was the first season, a slower storyline is justified.

I haven't watched the finale yet, but I'll be doing so tonight. I know it's canceled, but it was a good story and the show had a good dedication to answering questions at a decent pace, while setting up good mysteries for the next season (had there been one). SyFy would do well to pick the show up. You know... so it could rebuild its credibility as a sci-fi channel.

No on V. It's writing became horrible in the second season.

I chuckled when the OP made the suggestion (because of how often its been shot down before), but I the Bladerunner reference took the cake.

Like when Hero Merits we're first introduced? Because I don't think they've done anything to curb inflation.

If this is what Sister Psyche says, then it definitely falls under Natural or Mutation. Either their genetics naturally result in Psychic ability (like genetics allows you to be born with 2 eyes), or a mutation in their genes gave them this ability. So quoting her is quoting a flawed reasoning. There's not a thing itself called "Psychic" that granted these abilities to them.

My wife and I were talking about this earlier this Spring. We both watch Modern Family and Cougar Town religiously. The fall season seemed to be very consistent, with hardly any breaks at all. Then in January, the schedule went from 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, 1 week on, 3 weeks off, to πr^2 on. We would have preferred they shows took a longer mid-break than do something like that.

Cougar Town seemed to lose all its fall season momentum, and has only been hit or miss. Kind of disappointing since the fall shows were a huge step up from the previous season.

I wish they'd give The Event 1 last season to wrap up. Things were starting to get good.

It's not the influence that bothers me. 2.5 million influence to a level fifty? In the time you earn up 10 shards, you've covered the cost to convert them. No, what bothers me is you have to wait for 10 drops before you can even make any threads of them. When all I need is 2 more threads to craft a common, I'd rather run through a trial again before running normal content to get 10 shards. People are going to run the trials, we don't need the extra incentive.

At least make some other conversion options: 3 to 3 for 1.25 million. 5 to 5 for 1.75 million. This way, when you run a WST and get Notice you have no use for, you can at least make it into threads right away. And at the suggested prices, 10 to 10 is still the better deal for those willing to be patient.
